Out with the Old,in with the New

Presenting gifts is an important facet of Chinese etiquette. As such, it has signif icant social ramifi cations. On the one hand, as the Chinese saying goes, “A swan’s feather sent 1,000 miles may seem insignif icant, but the feeling it engenders is profound.” On the other, presenting an appropriately expensive gift can be crucial to cementing lucrative business relationships. Progres- sively changing gift-giving trends in each decade since the 1970s re? ect both China’s economic progres…

Building Community Coalitions with People with Disabilities and Their Families

Summary

This chapter describes the processes believed to affect the performance of regional economies and the mechanisms that might connect these processes to the etiology of behavioral disorder. The initial findings of a major study of these linkages will also be summarized (based on Catalan &; Dooley, 1983; Dooley &; Catalano, 1984a, 1984b). The implications of this literature for economic policy and for the provision of mental health services are also surveyed.     

Living with Films

ILMS are my passion. I visit DVD shops two or three times a week and constantly surf the Inter- net for the latest produc- tions. I saw my first film, a domestic pro- duction named Heroic Sons and Daugh- ters, at the age of four, and went on to watch it a further 20 times. This was not because of an obsessive love for the film but because I grew up during a restric- tive and isolated period, when cine-re- sources fell far short of the demands of a cinephile such as me. I grew up in the la…     

Handle with Care

THE Chinese people are justly proud of their food, martial arts and traditional medicine, regarding them as China's national treasure. Millions overseas enjoy Chinese cuisine, and also practice Chinese martial arts for physical fitness as well as selfdefense. But as far as traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is concerned, many have heard of it, but few put it to the test. The Huang Di Internal Canon written in the second century BC is to the Chinese what Hippocrates     

Ink with Feeling

IN the early 1980s, China issued a set of 16 stamps in commemoration of the artist Qi Baishi （1863- 1957）. Each featured a work by the great ink and wash master. The image on stamp number five was created in 1957, inspired by a line from an ancient poem： ＂Frogs are heard in a mountain brook miles away.＂ The story of how this work came about reveals much about the philosophy behind traditional Chinese painting.     

解读宽严相济的刑事政策

宽严相济的刑事政策是继惩办与宽大相结合、严厉打击刑事犯罪的刑事政策之后新中国刑事政策的新发展。这一政策是在创建和谐社会背景下进行刑事政策调整的表现,是纠正严厉打击犯罪的刑事政策,应对犯罪复杂化现象,有效节省刑罚资源、社会资源和刑事司法资源的重要举措,也是适应公众对于犯罪容忍度增强后的政策调整。宽严相济的刑事政策不仅是刑事司法政策,也是刑事立法政策,应当准确理解这两种政策的关系。     

依法治国与以德治国相结合的哲学思考

依法治国与以德治国相结合 ,是人类历史经验教训的深刻总结。五十年社会主义建设实践的反思 ,使我们深刻认识到 ,建设中国特色社会主义 ,全面实现小康社会的奋斗目标 ,依法治国与以德治国相结合的治国方略 ,符合中国现实社会的实际国情 ,是马克思主义在中国的新发展。法能治国 ,德也能治国 ,治国有法 ,但法无定法 ,贵在得法。这才是真正的马克思主义者所要坚持的唯物主义辩证法。

贯彻"十六字方针"应处理好四个关系

坚持集体领导与民主集中,是我们党的领导的最高原则。党的十五届六中全会《决定》指出： “集体领导,民主集中,个别酝酿,会议决定,是党委内部议事和决策的基本制度”。这“十六字方针”是民主集中制原则在党委工作中的具体化。贯彻“十六字方针”应处理好书记与委员、书记办公会与常委会、常委会与全委会、全委会与党的代表大会的关系。     

Commercialization with Chinese Characteristics

THE fifth-generation Chinese film directors of the late 1980s, so ostensibly indifferent to the sal- ability of their works, ironically enough now constitute, along with sixth-gen- eration directors fresh from the "under- ground," the commercial backbone of the Chinese film industry. It seems that recent generations of Chinese filmmakers have, as a matter of natural progression, unconsciously taken on a new role as a result of public rec- ognition and pressure from the market economy. Zhang …     

Earn with an E-Store

ZHANG Xin returned from a trip to Yunnan with a haul of fresh goods. Barely pausing for breath she snapped each item with her digital camera and uploaded the shots onto her infant e-store, attaching an appealing caption to each one. Last month, her e-store sprouted its first tooth of profit. "Though the profit margin is small, I enjoy this way of doing business," says Zhang Xin. Zhang deals in special local     

Slimming with Chinese Characteristics

AS recently as twenty years ago there was nil likelihood of seeing an overweight person on any Chinese street. Hard physical labor and limited rations were among the main reasons. Today, one in five Beijingers is obese. Why? Specialists blame modernization and resultant changes in lifestyle.     

经济与立法的契合--从经济分析方法的视角入手
