15 years after the overnight success of dream Factory, one of Feng Xiaogang’s early cinematic works which effectively created the “Chinese New Year movie,” the director has attempted to revive this once-popular genre with his new work Personal Tailor. Four people found a company to meet whatever wishes their clients have within a single day. Absurd, entertaining and satirical, some have seen the movie as a return to comedic form after Feng’s more polarizing forays into drama. Having faced mounting criticism of resting on his laurels and churning out cookie-cutter box office fodder, Feng was happy to acknowledge Personal Tailor as a sequel to Dream Factory. Feng also invited long-time collaborative partner, actor Ge You, to star, and novelist Wang Shuo, who co-wrote many of Feng’s early works, to write the screenplay.

Music

useless rock

Combining the singing style and instrumental sound of er-ren-zhuan, the traditional song and dance duet performance popular in China’s northeast, with funk, heavy metal, alternative and experimental, rock band Secondhand Rose has exploded onto China’s rock scene as one of the most innovative acts around. Formed in the early 2000s, the band is also known for their spectacular stage presence, particularly the lead singer’s penchant for falsetto and operatics. In early December 2013, ten years after their debut album was released, the band headlined its first concert at the Beijing Workers’ Stadium, which seats around 13,000. Calling the gig “Useless Rock & Roll,” a line from one of their most popular songs, Secondhand Rose successfully caught the attention of a number of mainstream media and rock lovers throughout the country.

Exhibition

retrospective Gathering

More than 200 works from some 30 Chinese contemporary artists including international names such as Chen Danqing, Gao Xiaohua and He Duoling were showcased from late December 2013 to January 2014 in Xichang, Sichuan Province. Titled “Minds’ Eye Open: Chinese Contemporary Invitational,” the exhibition was the third continuation of previous annual invitation exhibitions of contemporary Chinese art held in the city. Attempting to reflect on the relationship between China’s contemporary art and society, the exhibition also created an opportunity for Chinese modern artists from different generations, at home and abroad, to communicate outside the major metropolises such as Beijing and Shanghai.

Diaoyutai the Deep Courtyard: My years as Madame Mao’s Secretary

By Yang Yinlu

Jiang Qing, Mao Zedong’s third wife, became a scapegoat for excess following the government’s disavowal of the Cultural Revolution (1966 1976), when the leader of the notorious political alliance the“Gang of Four” stood trial for her crimes against the Party. Yet for a long time, despite many biographies and academic works circulating outside China’s borders, little of her private life was known to the Chinese public. This recent memoir from one of her secretaries Yang Yinlu, which deals with the period of the Cultural Revolution when Jiang’s power reached its zenith, was published with a focus on the personal as well as the political life of this infamous historical figure. Yang Yinlu worked alongside Jiang Qing from 1967 before being purged as a counterrevolutionary by his boss in 1973. Aside from descriptions of Jiang’s well-documented vicious temper and seemingly limitless political ambition, Yang also shines light on the fragile and emotional side of the onetime “Queen of the Revolution.”
