Published my first book chapter in Japanese. 帝国のまなざし：満洲映画における旅の視点と場所作り .

[Yufei Li @yflii]

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.

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.

沈阳同泽女中, est. 1928 by Chang Hsueh-liang to promote female education in Manchuria. The main building, completed in 1929, was designed by Yang Tingbao in a modernised Catholic style. Chang invited Wang Jiexian back from Edinburgh to be its first headmaster #myfieldfootage
