Chinastuck: kids' accents/dialects/speech

most of these just correspond to where they live lmao. the rest of their typing is close to canon (emote usage etc) ill put context for how chinese texting slang works if anyone asks for it

John: the most typical beijing mandarin you ever heard. talks in a fairly enunciated manner. when typing, sometimes uses kaomoji, number abbreviations, and uppercase latin letter abbreviations. occasionally uses single tildes after normal punctuation like this!~

Rose: shanghainese + kinda accented mandarin. hears john is from beijing and is like TEACH ME HOW TO SOUND LIKE U

uses abbreviations very occasionally. will sometimes use lots of tildes after messages~~~

Dave: bro raised him primarily on chongqing dialect, and he picked up other stuff on the internet. nearly incomprehensible to the other kids when they meet irl. frequent english loanwords. types with lowercase latin letter abbreviations even though they're a pain in the ass to do on a chinese keyboard.

Jade: jin mandarin, picked up some mongolian from grandpa harley. types similar to john but more tildes and kaomoji

Jane: uses some antiquated/outdated phrases like in canon. also very standard beijing mandarin, less enunciated than john. tendency towards using multiple punctuation marks!?!?!

Roxy: what would one sound like growing up without hearing other humans. uses lots of abbreviations like in canon. mayhaps the lots of tildes is a lalonde thing~~~

with gender stuff i could see them referring to everyone as TA in writing unless asked otherwise

Dirk: again, what would one sound like growing up without hearing other humans. uses traditional and sometimes even archaic spellings, unlike every other kid (he isn't taiwanese; he's just dirk). occasional "ironic" kaomoji. semifrequent japanese loanwords, sometimes english loanwords.

Jake: uses frequent antiquated phrases like in canon. jin mandarin + mongolian. sounds and types sort of like john.

FEDS Paper: Workplace Automation and Corporate Liquidity Policy

Thomas W. Bates, Fangfang Du, Jessie Jiaxu Wang Using an occupational probability of computerization, we measure a firm’s ability to replace labor with automated capital. Our evidence suggests that the potential to automate a workforce enhances operating flexibility, allowing firms to hold less precautionary cash. To provide evidence for this mechanism, we exploit the 2011–2012 Thailand hard drive crisis as an exogenous shock to the cost of automation. In addition, the negative relation between prospective automation and cash holdings is greater for firms with a lower expected cost of worker displacement and greater labor-induced operating leverage. from FRB: Working Papers https://ift.tt/R1CVkmG via IFTTT

Drama recommendations

Ok so I just finished watching meteor garden and accidentally in love and I love the bad boy goes soft for girl (si and shancai) (fangfang and yiyang) so if anyone has any recommendations based on this trope then please comment. I would prefer in a high school/college/university setting but I'm open to all and they can be from anywhere

Wang Leehom will steal all your tears in Forever Young

[fyhuangxiaoming]

Zhang Ziyi and Huang Xiaoming's lost film to release next year

The mysterious epic FOREVER YOUNG starring Zhang Ziyi will be unveiled in January 2018 - 6 years after the project was first announced.

A stellar cast of Zhang Ziyi, Huang Xiaoming, Leehom Wang, Chang Chen and Chen Chusheng attended a press conference on Wednesday in Beijing to announce the release date as Jan. 12 next year.

The film, written and directed by acclaimed writer-turned-director Li Fangfang, was originally planned to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Tsinghua University in 2011, with a budget of over 100 million yuan. The story covers four generations spanning a hundred years of modern Chinese history since World War II.

Actress Zhang Ziyi and actor Huang Xiaoming both mentioned in previous interviews that they cried after reading the script. By the end of 2012, the film had finished shooting but nothing has been heard since. Director Li commented in June 2014 that she is extremely meticulous about post-production and the film will be ready for release by the end of that year. However, it was not.

Sun Zhonghuai, CEO of Penguin Pictures and Vice President at Tencent Holdings Ltd., one of the film's producers, said the nearly 6-year wait has made this production "a legend" in Chinese film industry.

The past five years has witnessed great changes in the actors' personal life. When the cast members shot the film, they were all single. Now they are all married with children.

Huang Xiaoming added, "First I was attracted by the director's good script, then I was moved by her sincere creative work ethic, as she had researched and studied tens of thousands of historical photos and documents to reenact the historical details in her production. I believe a good film is like a good wine, the longer it takes to make the better it will taste."

Director Li Fangfang later joined the cast on the stage and praised them, "every one of them wanted to act as best as they can for their roles. We worked sincerely together and hope to tell a good story."

It is also worth noting that the film was shot in film stock and may be the last film in China produced this way as most film processing studios have closed as Chinese filmmakers turn to digital filmmaking.

The first hydroxide conductivity in anion conducting polymer thin films

As decarbonization progresses rapidly in the world, fuel cells offer potentially higher electrical efficiency than conventional power-generating systems. Anion exchange membrane fuel cells offer advantages of using non-precious metal catalysts than proton exchange membrane fuel cells. One of the challenges of this next-generation fuel cell is to clarify the hydroxide ion conductivity in the ion conductive polymer around the electrode catalyst. The difficulty of studying the hydroxide ion conductivity at the electrode interface is that the hydroxide ion, which is a carrier, easily reacts with carbon dioxide in the air. To solve this problem, all evaluation devices were improved so that the sample did not come into contacting with air.

In a new study published in ChemSusChem, researchers from Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST), namely Associate Professor Yuki Nagao and Ph.D. students Fangfang Wang and Dongjin Wang, succeeded in precisely identifying the hydroxide ion conductivity and the water amount contained in the sample without exposing the thin film sample to air. Fluorene-based cationic polymers were synthesized, and Br- and OH- samples as counter anions were prepared for comparison. It was revealed that the 270-nm-thick thin film containing hydroxide ions exhibits a high hydroxide ion conductivity of 0.05 S cm-1. This ionic conductivity was more than twice as high as the value of the thin film containing Br- ions as shown in Figure 1.

Chinastuck: the alpha kids

Jane Crocker: 王艳芳 (Wang Yanfang). Goes by Fangfang. Lives in Beijing. Han Chinese, with some Korean ancestry.

for the name i sort of went off of pure vibes. wang is ubercommon and means "king", yan means beautiful and i honestly just added it so all the prospit kids could have Y names, fang means "sweet-smelling" or "virtuous".

transmasc jane crocker real to me and he chooses the name 敏敏 (Minmin) meaning "clever" bc detective vibe??

still figuring out how to incorporate crockercorp.

Roxy Lalonde: 刘天秀 (Liu Tianxiu). Lives in flooded, postapocalyptic Shanghai among carapacians. Kazakh and Jewish Han ancestry.

roxy to my understanding means something like "bright dawn". tianxiu means beautiful sky. they share the character xiu with rose's name, xiulan.

Dirk Strider: 赵强剑 (Zhao Qiangjian). Lives alone in postapocalyptic, flooded Chongqing. Jewish Han and Hmong ancestry.

qiang means "strong" or "surpassing" and jian means "sword/dagger", tying into his character and one of the meanings of dirk, a type of dagger. he may be from the mainland, but since He's Dirk he uses traditional and even archaic characters for the ✨vibe✨, much to the annoyance of the other alpha kids. he spells his own name as 趙彊劍 lmao

i feel like doll strider would choose the name 雪莲 (Xuelian), which both means "snow-white lotus", suggesting purity, and is the name of a rare and precious herb. lotuses also have religious significance which she is aware of although dirk is a lil bit of a snooty reddit atheist to me. again she'd spell lian as 蓮 for Dirk Reasons

dirk is as much of a weeb and brony as in canon. he likes yapping abt chinese/japanese/western cultural comparisions and tries to teach himself japanese.

Jake English: Angli, sinicized as 洋格李 (Yang Geli). Lives in rural Inner Mongolia. Mongolian.

mongolian names typically are only the given name. jake's name is literally "english"; post scratch jade named him this to spite the condesce, similar to her taking on the last name english in canon. this also reflects a somewhat old fashioned mongolian naming practice of giving a child a strange/inauspicious name to drive away misfortune. (i am not mongolian myself apologies if this explanation did not make much sense) the sinicization of his name starts with a Y to match all the other prospit kids, with the character 洋 meaning the ocean with a connotation of vastness. this references him growing up in the middle of the ocean.

i like transfem jake english choosing the name lara. in china its spelled 勞拉 👍

idk what other details to change abt jakes life... the general arc of it is similar obviously

Why does Chinese gymnasts hardly do double layouts on floor?

for the most part, current chinese gymnasts tend to focus on twisting passes as they struggle to generate the height to do DLOs (and coaches seem to enforce converting all the girls to twisting passes but that’s another story...), but there have been quite a few who have trained/competed them throughout chn gym history!

here’s a list of them who have competed it: yu feng (1985), yang changmin (1995), mo huilan (1995), mao yanling (1995), kui yuanyuan (1996), ji liya (1996), xu jing (1996), sang lan (1996), chen mi (1997), chen maojie (1998), bai chunyue (1999), wang tiantian (2004), kang xin (2004), zeng panpan (2011), yao jinnan (2011), wang wei (2013), liu jingxing (2016), luo huan (2017), wang yan (2017), jia fangfang (2018), liu jinru (2018), & qi qi (2018 internal test, no footage)

Gad builds bamboo-fronted exhibition centre for Shaoxing rice wine

Chinese architecture studio Gad has completed a building with a gridded bamboo facade, which serves as an exhibition centre for a traditional type of Chinese wine.

The Shaoxing Rice Wine Town Reception Room is located in Dongpu, a town in China's Zhejiang province where this particular type of yellow rice wine originates.

The building is an "exhibition and experience hall" for Shaoxing rice wine

Gad – one half of former Dezeen Awards winner Gad Line+ Studio – designed the building for a part of the town that is still largely undeveloped.

It will initially serve as an "exhibition and experience hall" for Shaoxing rice wine, but will later be converted into a commercial building containing three restaurants. The centre also currently includes a bookstore and a flower shop.

It features a gridded bamboo facade

With this adaptability in mind, Gad adopted a modular approach that allows the building's layout to be easily changed.

Although the original intention was to use a wooden structure, Gad eventually opted for steel as it was felt the material would be easier to assemble and would better serve the region's rainy climate.

The building will later be converted into restaurants

This modular structure extends out to the building's facade, where the steel members are framed by lengths of bamboo.

"The bamboo planks are preprocessed into L-shaped members in the factory, which reduces the on-site assembling workload and joint treatment, and improves the construction speed and the accuracy of on-site installation," said Gad.

It is located beside the Dashu River in Dongpu

The building is located beside the Dashu River, in a largely undeveloped area of Shaoxing Rice Wine Town.

The site was originally a rice wine factory and the red brick chimney of this former structure is preserved in tribute.

A recessed ground floor creates space for outdoor seating

"The site is surrounded by dense water network," said Gad. "In ancient times, it was the waterway of Shaoxing Grain transport, facing the Dashu River in the east, with good landscape conditions."

The three-storey building takes advantage of its waterside setting, with large sections of glazing set behind the bamboo grid.

At ground level, the exterior wall is set back by one module to create a sheltered seating area for visitors.

The three-storey building has a modular structure

"Adding another frame to the outer wall of the building allows the interior solid space to retreat and form a deep and layered facade," said Gad.

"The awning, which refers to the removable windows of Jiangnan folk houses, further increases the depth and layers of the facade."

The modularity is further emphasised inside, where furnishings follow the structure of the grid. Partitions walls are formed of gridded bookshelves, while display stands feature wooden lattices.

"The project is an experiment in modular design and construction," added Gad.

"It responds to complex functional construction demands with a unified modular design language, infusing the vitality of the times into the thousand-year-old ancient town."

 I cried three times in the process of editing this review. This sweepingly beautiful but simple ode to Tsinghua University is a tear-jerker for all seasons.

Set against one of the most stunning visuals of the year, Forever Young 无问西东 tells its simple tales with an incredibly romantic lens that makes it difficult not to admire.  Director Li Fangfang (Heaven Eternal, Love Everlasting) always manages to play my emotions just right to evoke all my emotions for the world she captures.

The film from centers around four loosely connected stories of six characters (played by Wang Leehom, Zhang Ziyi, Chang Chen, Huang Xiaoming, Tie Zheng, and Chen Chusheng) facing their true selves through making difficult choices, from scary ones like life-and-death decisions to the even scarier decision of picking a college major.

First up chronologically is Tsinghua student Wu Yuelan (Chen Chusheng), who clearly has one of the toughest decisions in life –    what major to chose. He excels in literature, but feels like he needs to prove himself by sticking to a “hard” STEM major. He runs past the violinists playing in the snow as he seeks his own tune in life. The story, set entirely in the snow-covered halls of Tsinghua, is super short but connects well to the next story.

“I’m afraid that before you can chose what type of life you want to live, your will no longer have a life to chose.” –  Forever Young

There, we meet one of Wu’s students, Tsinghua student Shen Guangyao (Wang Leehom), the beacon of perfection who escaped with the school after the fall of Beijing in 1937.  Set in the rice paddies of Yunnan, the tale shifts from a rich green to barren redness as air raids begin to become more and more common.  Students hide in ditches as they try to learn while bombs are going off around them, while professors scramble to protect artifacts while they’re running for their own lives. The film’s oil painting-like depictions of hope and determination in the face of tragedy are etched in my brain to this day.

The rain drops drown out the sounds of teaching, so the teacher returns to the board and gives the instruction of the day: “Sit and listen to the sound of the rain.”  Unsettled by the noise, Shen Guangyao opens the window and see the lush, vibrant world outside. He  feels tempted to leave behind his books to fight the air raids in the new American-led air force, but is dissuaded by his stately mother’s hopes for him to live a full and fulfilling life. “I’m afraid that before you can chose what type of life you want to live, your will no longer have a life to chose.”

This segment is beautifully shot, with amazing set design, cinematography, costumes, and a perfect cast. The use of music along with the choreography of the students and locals toiling in the sun makes the film feel like a musical at time.  The then 36-year-old  Wang Leehom doesn’t look a day older than 20 and is perfectly cast as this ray of sunshine. Michelle Yip also gives a brief but stellar role as Shen’s loving mother.  This segment made me cry at seven different points despite being only a quarter of a movie.

“The last time I thought I was dead, I found you. This time, I must find you before death arrives.” – Forever Young

Fastforward to the Cultural Revolution, where we meet three high school best friends who are making difficult decisions of their own. Tsinghua student Chen Peng (Huang Xiaoming) has the opportunity to work on the nuclear project, but wants to stay for love.  Pharmacist Wang Minjia (Zhang Ziyi) chose between a white lie that could ruin her life, and one that could save that of another. Doctor Li Xiang (Tie Zheng) must chose whether to tell the truth and risk his career.  Zhang Ziyi is the clear star of this tale, with the light bouncing off her smile at times, and other times  the sorrow of her eyes. With excellent performances from Zhang Ziyi, Tie Zheng, and Zheng Zheng as their teacher’s abusive wife, the segment was a visually lovely and well-told story.

Seriously look at how gorgeous this is.   To top it off, it’s also a choreographed musical number.

 Finally, back in modern day, advertising exec Zhang Guoguo (Chang Chen), Tsinghua grad and the son of two people saved by Li Xiang, is faced with the dilemma of whether to seek revenge on a colleague. The story is really bland, his acting is bland, even all the side characters in it are bland.

Setting aside the blue tint that seeped through the entirety of her last film, director Li Fangfang works with cinematographer Cao Yu to use colors to reflect the mood in her new film. From the white hospital sheets  that changed to the yellow of the apricot leaves and the brown of the huts, to the red of the Earth,  and even the cold metal of modern skyscrapers, the film uses color and lighting to advance the story.  Her editing and scriptwriting has also improved significantly, with  much smoother transitions and natural dialogues. While most of the score is not memorable, one particular song is used cleverly to connect two stories and bring out a major tear-jerking moment.

The film’s tales range from moving to boring, and is connected through a rather loose theme of one generation building on another,  but what really stood out to me was how the filmmaker builds this almost dreamlike world with such romantic and enlightened details throughout. Sometimes a simple story told well can still move the audience, and this one definitely left me with a bit more appreciation for the world and lot of used tissues.

The film is now available on QQ here and iQiyi here.

“This film is dedicated to each and every one of you. May you always remember how precious you are.”
