Our website is formally launched! Imagine Dongbei (https://t.co/8FANto5UCM) is an interactive mapping project sourcing historical footage of Northeast China (Manchuria) as cultural references for the locational imagination of contemporary Dongbei.
Compared to the substantial historical investigations in the same book, my examination of Manchuria's portrayal through films is rather a light touch. Nevertheless, I hope it can still offer a unique perspective on East Asian modern wartime culture.
The Department's Professor Ying Jin spoke today at the RIBA Building Contemporary China: academic conference chaired by the Cambridge Association of Architects.

Honoured to be an academic co-convener for this wonderful event. Welcome to join the Building Contemporary UK-China Design Conference happening tomorrow at Møller Institute, Cambridge.
China historians: some hopeful news. I was able to visit the new First Historical Archive today. It’s true that you need a Chinese phone number to make an appointment online, but the new facility is wonderful.
just realised... interestingly the hotel opposite the 'traditional' painting&calligraphy stationary shops got a European-ish porch in contrast... though all the ground facades were the add-on decors to those Khrushchyovka residential blocks...
In Shenyang’s old town, some alleys serve their particular functions.
In this ‘Chinese painting&calligraphy’ alley, shopfronts added sloping eaves and grey wall tiles to mimic traditional archi features.
The guy sitting outside was engraving stone seals.
