“這是有關中華56個民族的‘全家福’。”攝影家陳海汶說，他所指的“全家福”是近日已經出版的大型圖文出版物《和諧中華——中國56個民族剪影》，該書是由陳海汶帶領的14位攝影師組成的專業攝影創作團隊歷時一年，縱橫10萬公里，深入我國56個民族的主要聚居地考察、采訪，拍攝了5.7萬多張照片後，輔以文字說明，編排而成的。每個民族的剪影都以“全家福”的形式呈現。

The Onion, America’s finest news source, has been sold to “a syndicate of industrious China-men from the deepest heart of the Orient,” according to T. Herman Zweibel.

“The day computers crashed on the beach”
The front page scoop on the Sunday Morning Post of Hong Kong:
The isolated and picturesque beaches in Sai Kung Country Park are only accessible by a 40-minute hike over steep terrain or by boat. A government spokesman said the computers could have been dumped by smugglers.
The area was once a popular people-smuggling route and the beaches are frequently strewn with illegal cargo from the mainland and Hong Kong.
In February, tonnes of rotten pork and chicken washed up. Criminals steal trees in the area to sell across the border and fishermen have been caught dynamite-fishing in the area. But it may take time to solve the monitor mystery.
“You never know, it could be a work of art,” Mr Catozzo said.

The People’s Daily (Beijing, PRC) has got the scoop on how the “foreign experts and international friends” entertain themselves:
In spare time, the daily said, many foreigners like to watch the arrangement of traditional houses in city alleys, or enjoy Chinese folk music accompanied by cups of tea.
(For comparison, please refer to “The Three Hundred Percenters” of 1968.)
This commences and concludes our celebrations of the 56th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China.

Neale Hunter’s “The Three Hundred Percenters” in the Far Eastern Economic Review’s 7/13 April 1968 issue offers insights to the values and ideologies of foreigners living amidst the Cultural Revolution in Shanghai during 1967 and 1968.
This split continued into the Red Guard groups that were formed by foreigners. Before long a paper war was raging in the Friendship Hotel, and big-character posters chronicled the “crimes” of each faction. Accusations ranged in depth from “betraying the world revolution” to “sleeping with Mrs X”. What the Chinese thought of all this is not on record.
