The Eternal Couple Taishan Mountain and Tai＇an City

TAI＇AN City is located in the center of Shandong Province, home to the ancient states of Lu and Qi. Built in homage to Taishan Mountain （Mount Tai）, one of China＇s sacred peaks, the city was named after an old saying： ＂If all is well on Taishan Mountain, the world will be at peace.＂ ＂Tai＇an＂ literally means ＂peace upon Taishan.＂     

Returning to Beijing

I had been home for Christmas and was just back in Beijing,where I had spent all of the previous year.That year had been one of the best in my life,and though I had been here before and always had a soft spot for Beijing,the city had now taken up a strong place in my heart.Going back home had been a strange experience of being home and away from home simultaneously.     

Milking It

How franchisers like Dairy Queen and KFC are sweetening their way into the hearts of China's consumers. MINNESOTA Governor Timothy Pawlenty was reminded of the lush meadows and dairy farms of home on a recent visit to downtown Beijing. The jowly governor of one of America's farming centers was taking down time from his China trade mission on a dusky November Sunday afternoon at the Oriental Plaza Dairy Queen, a stone's throw from Tian'anmen Square. Dairy Queen. which is headquartered in Minneapolis, capital of the governor's home state of Minnesota, had just announced a string of deals across China and the governor was toasting his subjects' success with, what else, a milkshake.     

People Before Profits

Iwas in Thailand during the Lunar New Year holiday when the news of the spread of the novel coronavirus in China really started heating up.I still had another week of travel before heading home to Beiing on February 1,and the rising number of text messages and calls from family and friends was really starting to make me nervous.

Green Development of An Old Revolutionary Base

正Longyan, located in west Fujian Province, was one of the starting points of the Long March of the Red Army led by the Communist Party of China(CPC) between 1934 and 1936. It was also an essential part of the central revolutionary base area in the early 1930 s, one of the earliest revolutionary bases of the CPC, and is home to the site of the Gutian Conference in 1929 that established the CPC's absolute leadership over the army.     

Home,not Asylum

Respecting the old and cherishing the young is one of the Chinese traditional virtues, and China has worked hard to build a large number of homes for the elderly. In some areas, however, the old people are reluctant to move into local gerocomium because they think that these places are like an asylum, or even a prison for the aged, and they feel nothing home there. However, the home for the elderly we visited in August 2010, was a totally different story.     

An Old Town on the Ancient Tea-Horse Trail

FOR centuries, Southwest China's Yunnan Province has been known as home of black tea. It was in the Tang Dynasty (618-907) that caravans began to transport bricks of tea from Xi shuangbanna and Simao to India, passing through Yunnan's Dali and Lijiang and Tibet. The route became known as the Ancient Tea-Horse Trail. By the time it had reached India, the tea fermented and turned black. It was then bought by merchants that took it to Europe and other parts of the world.At the southern end of the Chinese     

A Green Future for Buildings and Transportation

GREEN industry is relatively new to China. It was only a few years ago, when the Chinese govern- ment began promoting energy-saving lamps in local communities, that many people realized there was an alternative to conventional lamps. Green awareness has since spread - through campaigns to publicize non-disposable shopping bags, leave the car at home and take public transportation one day a week, and promulgation of the energy-saving home appliances-ubsi-ciy policy.     

Love and pain:High-rises in Shanghai

This was a bitter line of land- scape in old districts of Shanghai: around four or five o'clock every morning, in front of night soil collection stations, inhabitants with night-stools and spittoons, both old and young, men and women, crowded the small space. Zhang Qingzhi's home was in a dis- trict called 'Ju Yuan' - a shantytown ex- tending over 200,000 square metres in Lujiazui, Pudong. Over a dozen families lived under the same roof: 'Everything in my home, from table to chair to sofa wa…

The China Dream： A Dream of Human Rights for the Chinese People

This year, nothing has sparked so much interest both at home and abroad as the ＂China Dream＂ concept initiated by Xi Jinping, president of the People＇s Republic of China and general secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China （CPC）. It not only represents a dream of national rejuvenation, prosperity and the people＇s well- being that has been pursued from generation to generation in China, but also a dream of human rights for which the Chinese people have long strived.     

The Idea of Home

AS an old saying goes, ＂Home is where the heart is.＂ So even if your home goes through changes, as long as there is love it will be there. I was born in a very small village with only a few households along the coastal area of northern Jiangsu Province, at the end of 1969. Over the 40 years of my life I have experienced many changes, moving from deep in the countryside, to a larger village, then a small town and finally a city, eventually settling down in Beijing.

Cherishing the Memory of Honorary President of Japan-China Friendship Centre Masaharu Gotoda

On September 19, 2005, our respected old Japanese friend and honorary president of the Japan-China Friendship Cen- tre Mr. Masaharu Gotoda passed away. I was very sad when hear- ing the grievous news of his death. I remember that in the summer of 2002 when I was preparing to return home after finishing my work in the Japan- China Friendship Centre (JCFA) in Tokyo, I met him by chance, and said good-bye to him briefly. At that time he was already at the venerable age of 88, but his spir…

Deng Zhonghan：Microchips for China

I saw a parade of floats from the reviewing stand on Tian＇anmen Square at the celebration of the 5oth anniversary of the PRC, and was impressed at the achievements they displayed in agriculture, national defense and education. But at the same time I felt ashamed at having made so many excellent microchips in Silicon Valley in the U.S., but none for my home country. It was then that I made the decision to come back to China.＂ Deng Zhonghan （John Deng）, vice president of China Association for Science and Technology and academician at the Chinese Academy of Engineering, remembers clearly this moment of truth 14 years ago.
