I'm sensing Clark Kent Lois Lane vibes from this story (but in reverse). And this is a great little plot line, love it. I hope it starts a trend of lantern wearing. #xihuazhi #惜花芷 #cdrama #literature

Looks like a great line-up of international as well as Chinese bands at the Dream Future Kiloglow #Music Festival, Hangzhou in May.

Highlighting this beautiful #film , which I had the pleasure of writing about recently, in terms of Hou Hsiao-hsien's adaptation of the Pei Xing's Tang dynasty chuanqi tale and his portrayal of the nüxia (errant swordswoman).

I love how it's 'Worlds' (plural) in the title. Enter the worlds of the wenren, Chinese for 'cultured people'. Goldin also wrote an excellent book on reading Chinese thinks and philosophers. #books
