Silkworms, by Long Ling, Translated by Jonathan Flint
The restaurant is still there. Cars line both sides of the street, so I have to park a block away. I am carrying a five-foot pole and a pair of scissors in a plastic bag.
Divorce, Beijing Style
What colour is a divorce certificate? I’d heard it was green – a neat visual counterpoint to the bright red marriage certificate. Red in Chinese culture is the colour of happiness, of joy and also of officialdom. Marriages are announced on red banners; gifts are enclosed in red envelopes. Brides wear red dresses and use red bedsheets, and there are red scraps of firecrackers in the dust at the end of the wedding day.
Cropland concentration powers sustainable intensification of agriculture in China - Communications Earth & Environment
Abstract Over the past few decades, China’s cropland configuration has changed markedly, with important implications for food security and agricultural sustainability. Here we examine how cropland spatial-temporal concentration relates to agricultural intensification across China from 2000 to 2020. We mapped cropland distribution for five benchmark years using Google Earth Engine platform and 234,804 Landsat images and quantified cropland landscape configuration.

In the new Beijing
My generation has seen four paramount leaders: Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin, Hu Jintao and now Xi Jinping. Deng, the only one not to serve as general secretary of the Party Central Committee, initiated the market economy reforms of the 1980s and established Shenzhen’s Special Economic Zone. Jiang accelerated China’s economic integration into the global economy and established Shanghai’s Pudong New District.

Xi Jinping Studies
My local branch of the Communist Party of China has 34 members and is usually quite active. Fourteen study notices were sent out last year, each containing a two to three-hour video course. But in the first half of this year, the branch secretary sent out just three notices. The first was in January, when he posted a ‘Notice seeking opinions on representatives from the Beijing branch for the Twentieth Party Congress’.

Long Ling · In Beijing · LRB 4 June 2020
One morning in mid-March, somebody knocked on my door. Since the apartment community where I live had been closed to the outside world for two months, this was unusual. Through the spyhole I saw a woman wearing a mask and a protective suit that looked a bit like a raincoat: standard gear in an epidemic. She was holding a folder and had a pen in her hand. I put on my mask and opened the door. As I did so, we both stepped back. ‘I’m from the community residents’ committee,’ she said.

Death at the Banquet
Although the events described here occurred only about three months ago, the man’s name escapes me. I’m not at all certain my memory is correct, and of course no one will confirm my recollections. Who wants to remember what happened? Like me, everyone wants to forget. At the time I was working in the western part of a remote province in China, under an arrangement intended to allow government officials from developed areas to work in economically backward regions.
