Yaogun: Chinese rock-and-roll
Published on Jan 26, 2016
Although called “Chinese rock-and-roll,” there’s definitely more to the musical genre in China known as yaogun than its translation.
SinoVision Journal reporter Lani Nelson went to China Institute to learn more about where rock-and-roll ends and yaogun begins, as well as where yaogun fits within the global history of rock music.

A few days ago I saw this beautifully shot documentary about the making of multiple regional Chinese New Year foods which also conveys the spirit of the holiday along the way. Highly recommended regardless of whether you understand Mandarin, the video practically speaks for itself.

Stephen Chow's Mermaid in China just broke the record knocking out Monster Hunt as biggest box office in China making $400 million in 12 days. Monster Hunt took over 50 days to top out at around $390 million. And of course Hollywood is acting like that was suppose to be their money and title.

I saw a " A Bite of China" in English on you-tube and found it rather interesting so I guess the program must have spanned over a couple of seasons. The one I saw was about regional foods as well.Other than the cured ham done the traditional way, I didnt find any of the food particularly appetisingA few days ago I saw this beautifully shot documentary about the making of multiple regional Chinese New Year foods which also conveys the spirit of the holiday along the way.

After getting hospitalised in Singapore of all places with a very bad case of food poisoning, I am now gastronomically cautious.
Yikes! Though I am tempted by a lot of street foods when I travel I always avoid them since I have learned through similar experiences that I have a sensitive stomach, never been hospitalized though, and I always drink bottled water.

Well the end of the world prognostication has been used by people to scare others into submission into whatever agenda. You can only be saved if you listen and obey them. Whether it's something like religion or the environment, it's aim is power and control over others not saving anyone.
Why would this even be important to wonder why there's not a lot of end of the world predictions in Chinese culture? Is it because the people who don't think about the end of the world are less likely to be manipulated by scare tactics? I hope this article isn't suggesting apocalyptic movies that are popular in China hides some political or religious yearning of theirs that they again feel have the right to force it on China like everything else. Maybe a movie is just seen as entertainment and nothing else.

Same here, I don't have a strong stomach to take in street foods in any foreign country.
