Knowledge on cabin safety: No Smoking in Cabin!

Case: On December 24, 1982, an II-18 aircraft of China was on re when landing at the Guangzhou
Airport, which caused 25 dead and 37 injured among 69 people on plane. According to the
1982 12 24 18
investigation of the expert group after the accident, the reason was that a passenger smoked
69 25 37
on the plane but carelessly the unquenched cigarette end was blown to the oor from the gap
between seat slide and cabin wall and nally it developed into re under the ventilation of air ow
in the cabin.
1983
153 1992 10
8
1996 7 1
In 1983, CAAC issued the regulations to forbid smoking on the planes of both domestic and
international passenger flights. Representatives of the 153 member countries of ICAO passed
a resolution on smoking on plane on October 8, 1992, in which it mandates no smoking on
international passenger planes before July 1, 1996 for each airline company.
If passenger smokes secretly in the restroom on plane and throws the cigarette end into the
waste basket, it may get the waste tissues and wet napkins burnt in the basket and then turn to
re. According to the ICAO statistics, 80% re on plane is caused by the same reason. Concerned
person said that it is hard to nd once the restroom at the tail of the cabin catches re. In particular,
80
control lines including horizontal rudder and vertical rudder are equipped at the end of cabin, and
once ring, it is easy to make the plane out of control with incalculable consequences.
Smoking is not only harmful to our health, but also will pollute the on-board air environment.
Secondly, smoking may cause re and threaten ight safety. Therefore, for your health and ight
safety, please do not smoke in cabin.
Note: Article 25, Chapter 3 of the Regulations on Civil Aviation Security of the Peoples Republic of China: The
following acts are prohibited in an aircraft:
(1) Smoke in no smoking area;

(2) Race to occupy seat or baggage compartment (rack);
(3) Fight, get drunk, or pick a quarrel and make trouble;
(4) Steal, damage deliberately or move without authorization lifesaving articles or appliances;
(5) Commit other acts endangering ight safety and disturbing the order in aircraft.

Recycled Textbooks
For many Chinese students, graduation from school involves
not only attending a ceremony, but also selling piles of
textbooks as waste paper. This is because that it is meaningless
for the students to keep most of the used textbooks, except
as monuments and reminders of their school life. Since this
winter semester, Hefei has instituted a new policy: schools
should not levy textbook charges on students undergoing
compulsory education.
Photo/FOTOE
This new policy also requires that some of the textbooks be

reused. Textbooks covered by this new set of rules include
the Music, Art, Information Technology and Science books
issued to primary school students, as well as the Music,
Art and Information Technology books used in junior high
schools. At the end of the semester, schools in Hefei will take
the textbooks back and offer them free of charge to students
who need such books for the next year.
Wuhan
Women Waiting Zone

Sexual harassment of women is one of the most serious problems in metro stations
during rush hours. The Wuhan Metro has recently announced that all the camera
systems in its metro stations will now have two sets of cameras, one belonging to the
police, one belonging to the transit operator. The improved camera system will enable
staff to better monitor behavior in metro stations.
In addition, metro stations will provide special waiting zones for women before 7
am and after 9 pm. Netizens have put forward many ways for preventing sexual
harassment on metro trains and stations. For example, someone suggested that women
taking the metro avoid skimpy dresses. However, a young lady used to stand in a
metro station holding a sign with words I can be sexy, and you cannot harass me.
Essentially, we need sound legal system, as well as firm moral constraints, not a few
extra cameras, to thoroughly eradicate sexual harassment in public.

Height Standard
10cm up to Take Buses Free
Photo/FOTOE
Yixing, a county-level city near Wuxi in Chinas Jiangsu Province, has

relaxed its height standard for taking buses free from 110 cm to 120 cm
since October 1st. Previously, according to Regulation of Taking Public
Vehicles, children taller than 110 cm should pay the same fare as adults do
when they take the bus. The reason for the adjustment of the regulation is
that the average height of children has seen a sharp rise due to improvements
in the local economy. A survey conducted by the Yixing municipal sports
bureau shows that the average height of boys under six years of age is 1.2
meters, the record of which in 2008 was less than 1.2 meters.
Beijing
Ophthalmology Night Surgery

Beijing Tongren Hospital, one of the best ophthalmology hospitals in China, has
recently decided to normalize its night surgery. Eighty percent of the patients
coming here are from other provinces around China. They come to Tongren
because they cannot get proper treatment anywhere else in the country. During the
summer, when most of students choose to see the eye doctor because they are on
holiday from school, registering at the hospital becomes even more difficult. As a
result, for eight years now, Tongren has instituted summer-time night surgery.
Photo/Imagine China
It is estimated from the beginning of July to the end of August, the number of patients
visiting Tongren totaled 158,000. During these two months, the number of patients
coming for night surgery surged 77.8%. In order to meet the needs of all those patients,
the hospital has decided to normalize night surgery. Night surgery is carried out on the
first floor of the east wing of the hospital, and patients should register when they
arrive at Tongren, after 7:30 in the morning. Doctors begin doing vision tests at
15:00 in the afternoon and start treating patients at 16:00. Doctors doing the night
surgery shift are all experienced senior physicians. Two to three doctors will be on
duty to serve patients every day, which will significantly enhance Tongrens ability
to treat larger numbers of patients.

You may find many distribution boxes with warnings like

Dogs Tinea are also pasted on their surface. These miniads have become eyesores in the city. In late September,
distribution boxes in Shenyang have been dressed anew.
Actually, the new clothes is a new kind of special coating
which makes it hard to write or paste things on the surfaces
of those distribution boxes. By the end of this year, the
new kind of coating will be painted on distribution boxes
on another 11 streets in Shenyang, including Qingnian and

Singapore
No Home Purchase within a Year
Photo/Imagine China
Why is it hard to purchase an apartment in Singapore? The situation is not caused by high housing-prices;
on the contrary, it is because home buyers use too many resources, creating chaos when following their
inclination to buy several apartments when purchasing a home for themselves. However, after the no home
purchasing within a year if a home buyer changes his mind after ordering a new apartment regulation came
into force earlier this year, the numbers of would-be purchasers canceling orders decreased significantly.
Those who really need an apartment now have a better chance of getting one after this change. According to
the Housing Development Board (HDB), there have been only 48 cases of instances of canceled orders out
of the 6,500 cases (0.7%) of new homes being purchased after the one-year prohibition went into effect in
March. In addition to the one-year home purchasing prohibition, the HDB also added an option fee of 200
to 2,500 Singapore Dollars when citizens order different kinds of houses. And when home buyers sign their
contracts, they have to pay 10% of the whole price up-front. Once the option fee has been paid, if the home
buyer changes his mind, he will lose the money and the house-buying subsidies offered by the government.
He will also have to face the one-year house buying prohibition.

South Korea's
Smoking "Divide"
South Korea has a huge gender gap when
it comes to smoking. It boasts one of the
biggest populations of male smokers in the
world, but ranks near the bottom of the globe
with repect to the number of female smokers.
According to data released by the health
ministry, South Korea has the second highest
number of male smokerssome 44.3% of the
total adult male populationamong the 34
OECD countries. Although the percentage is
still high, it has been drastically been reduced
from the early 1990s, when more than 70 percent of all Korean males smoked.
But the Korea Smoker's Association, an
association founded to defend smokers' rights,
said the figures are incorrect. The association
chairman Chung Kyung Soo said that the
health ministry is trying to show that Korea
has a high number of smokers so that it can
enforce stricter rules in the country. However,
he argues that smokers, like non-smokers,
also have rights. He said: "I know that it
would be better if people did not smoke. But
for those who smoke already, shouldn't their
rights be considered? Consumers have a right
to consume products that are allowed to be
sold by the government." However, the South
Korean government is determined to reduce
the number of smokers in the country. The
plan is to make all restaurants smoke-free by
December 2016.
Tokyo
Electric Charge
Rise Officially
The price of electrical power in Tokyo has been officially
raised. After several months of planning and preparation,
Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) has put the price
increase plan into effect. The Ministry of Economy, Trade and
Industry (METI) of Japan has given formal approval to TEPCO
for its plan to raise the household electricity charge, which
means families in Tokyo see the living costs go up again. The
household electric charge in Tokyo has already been raised by
8.5% since September; and the average monthly electric charge
of ordinary families is now 7,548 Japanese Yen (or about $97).
When the rising cost of fuel is factored in, the average monthly
electric charge has been increased by 575 JPY (or $7.36).
Photo/Imagine China
According to METI, TEPCO has raised the price of electrical

power for manufacturing and commercial industries by 17%
since April, and this increase has been resisted by some firms.
Originally, TEPCO wanted to boost the household electric
charge by 10.28% to cover the $530-million depreciation cost
of the countrys 6 nuclear reactors. However, the company
reduced the increase to 8.46% due to the pressure from the
public. Previously, the government injected about 1 billion
dollars into the company in July, effectively nationalizing
TEPCO.

New Airport Building
Photo/CITS
Airports have become multi-functional sites for passenger

services, shopping, and the like. Nowadays, with more
and more passengers choosing air planes as their means
of traveling abroad, the standards and requirements of
airports have become diversified. Why cant a small
city own more than one airport? Abdullah, the minister
of Bruneis Transportation Department, says that the
second airport building of Brunei International Airport
under construction will use the successful experience of
Singapores Changi International Airport as its guidepost
and make the care and comfort of the passengers its first
priority. Abdullah says that the new building can not only
enable the airport to better cope with increased flights
and passengers, as well as satisfy the countrys need of
physical distribution and transport junction, but will also
serve as a landmark of the area. He believes that the new
airport building will bring more passengers and travelers
into the country. The country has invested about $11
billion into constructing the new building, which will be
completed by 2014. It is predicted that the new building
can serve a population of 3 million travelers annually.
And it is estimated that the existing airport building can
only handle about 1.5 million a year; however, the level of
passenger traffic last year amounted to over 2 million.

From Pit to Garden

Industrialization is the root cause of the exploitation
of mineral resources and this exploitation has been
a mixed blessing. On one hand, mining mineral
resources has promoted economic development.
On the other hand, it has also created a problem,
namely dealing with those abandoned pits and
how to turn mining waste into something that can
generate new wealth. Zhu Yufan from Tsinghua
University has the answer: turn the no longer used
pits into gardens.
Although a pits unique shape and form provide

designers with an opportunity to create an unusual
landscape, it also confronts them with many
challenges. The first challenge is how to repair the
serious degradation of the ecological environment.
Pits have sparse vegetation and few animal species,
while rock weathering and soil erosion are serious
problems. The second challenge is how to fully tap
and effectively use the landscape value of pit sites.
Thus, designers need to think about the problem of
how to re-establish proper contact between the pits
and human settlements.
After being fully studied and analyzed, the pit
garden was eventually divided into different areas.
In each area, people will use a different design
strategy that fits with its different conditions. In
coming up with these designs, the designer will
be inspired by traditional Chinese landscape
painting.
Eventually, the dangerous, unreachable wasteland
has been transformed into a tourist attraction for
people to get close to the natural landscape and
experience the legacy of the quarry industry.

The Chenshan Botanical Garden is located in the

Sheshan National Scenic Resort, which lies in
the Songjiang District, and covers an area of 207
hectares. From the beginning of the 20th century
to the mid-1980s, the mountain face of Chenshan
Hill had been destroyed by mining, with two pits
being dug on its east and west faces. Tunnels
were also dug into the mountain from the western
pit. The pit garden designed by Prof. Zhu is an
alternative garden park located in the west pit.
The design eschews artificial features by retaining
the natural scenery provided by the stones.
The rusted steel and rubble blocks express the
bygone atmosphere of industrialization. The
special garden makes us ponder the question of
how to get along with the Mother Nature as the
economy rapidly develops.

72-hour Visa-free Transit

Visa-free transit means that foreigners can transit through
and make a short visit in a country without needing a
visa from the transit country. Currently, only a few cities,
like Shanghai, in China offer 48-hour visa-free stay for
travelers from some countries. Most of the cities, including
Beijing, only allow foreigners to stay at transit points like
airports for only 24 hours. Recently, Ding Xiangyang, the
deputy mayor of Beijing, announced at the Beijing World
Tourism Cities Fragrant Hills Summit that the capitals new
visa-free transit policy has been approved by the relevant
departments and will be introduced soon. The new policy
will be made public before long, further boosting Beijings

Qi Xian in Chinese means seven sages. Shi has commissioned Taiwanese craftsmen as technical consultants for
the bamboo plaiting on the panels and executors for the whole production process. Five types of bamboo plaiting
have been used in Ping Qi Xian. They include the Wuyi Twisting, the Windmill, the Hexagonal, the Wave, and
the Free Style, which are all commonly seen in the traditional everyday objects in China. There are another two
works, Ba Fang, a table that has been custom-made for this installation, and Shis Gang Rou, Jun Zi, and
Qin Jian Chairs. The Ba Fang tableBa Fang in Chinese means far and nearis the octagonal version
of Shis Ba Xian table design. This table can be used for both dinner parties and formal meetings. On the other
hand, Shi takes the classic horseshoe armchair chair design as the prototype for his Gang Rou Chair. Comfort
and function are immensely enhanced by utilizing bamboo slats as the main material.

People in Changsha like to eat crayfish, or chicken lobster, which are really not at all

without natural enemy in China, the creature multiplied too fast, creating many problems.
As a result, people in Hunan started to make it a dish on their tables in order to do
some good for the environment. Fang Ji is a new food stall serving crayfish. Special
procedures are taken to make the shell of the crayfish very easy to remove. Before you
move your chopsticks, fresh chicken lobsters look and smell seductive when soaked in

To those travelers who are more knowledgeable

to enjoy its slow-paced lifestyle. The owner of the restaurant named it Athena on the Sea,
which is quite poetic. You can have a drink or a brief meal in the restaurant while enjoying
the establishments collection of hundreds of different models of sailing boats. When you go
out of the restaurant, you can find an old villa standing just a few steps from the Athena on
the Sea. After elaborate decoration, the ground floor of the villa is now being used as another
restaurant, which serves drinks and seafood, while also offering several hotel rooms facing
the sea. The villa shares the name of the restaurant. The sea is just a few meters away from
the restaurant and the villa, so you can even place your table in the open air and enjoy the sea

The inconspicuous little restaurant is located in Kaixuan Street, which is Hangzhous famous Barbeque

wooden tables and chairs give the restaurant both a homely and beautiful appearance. The price of the
restaurant is indeed very reasonable, as you will be served a huge tray of beef for only 30 RMB; this meat
is also quite fresh and tender. The most recommended food of the BBQ restaurant is their chicken wings,
which have a slight milky flavor after it is cooked. Other dishes, like prawns, squid, needle mushroom,
potatoes, and even tiny steamed buns, are all delicious. The only flaw of the dishes in this restaurant is they
are a bit greasy. However, you have other choices, like hot pot, if you dont like oily food. In addition, the
little restaurant serves seafood, such as scallop and oysters.

they will continue working there.
2. Painting is a special procedure for the black-and-white era. During that period, if you lacked the necessary equipment, you had
to ask the best masters in a studio for help if you wanted a color photo. We use watercolor or greasepaint to turn black-and-white
photos into color shots. This kind of photo can be found in every familys old album.

The Last Old Photo Studio

The number one metro is under large-scale construction in Jiucai
Alley, Guping Street, Fuzhou. Few people can notice the Guping
State-run Photo Studio, a small faade along the street, among crowds
of pedestrians and flow of vehicles. Compared with the brand new
wedding photo studio, the old studio looks lonely and out of date.
However, 20 years ago, Guping was famous throughout Fuzhou and
even among other Southeastern Chinese coastal cities. Lin Sen, 54, is
a photographer at the Guping Photo Studio. He has been here since he
was 16 years old. He is used to be called Master Photographer.
There were over 20 people in the studio by the late 1980s,

including a dozen photographers and personnel in charge of postprocessing those photos. Lin says, Customers coming to have
photos taken of themselves and their families had to join a long
queue during festivals and holidays. Some kids were carried here
by their parents in their arms; twenty years later, they carried their
own kids back to the same place.However, today, when all sorts
of new photo studios appear one after another, and when cameras
have become daily necessities, who will choose to take photos in
such an old photo studio? Photo/CFP

Im Going to the Spring Festival Gala

In a one-hundred-year-old building on Shengli Street in Changchun, where the pace of life is fast and the buildings are
made of steel and concrete, a group of people are sticking to their dreams no matter how hard the situation is. For years, the
Changchun Acrobatic Troupe has been performing at regular intervals in the acrobatic hall. During some especially difficult to
perform acts, there are times when acrobats fail to show off their unique technical talents on the first go. When this happens,
they all must bow to the audience and apologize before asking about doing a second try. The photo was shot in late September
during a troupe rehearsal. The 16 newly recruited members are also among the crew. The youngest member is only six years
old. They all have the same dream, namely being able to go to the Spring Festival Gala. Photo/CFP

Parent-Child Lesson
Over 30 families from all around the country gathered in Simin Guild Hall during the
Mid-Autumn Festival for Reading the Classics with my Kids, a parent-child activity
dealing with traditional Chinese culture and cultural practices. Children aged between 5
and 10 are invited to read literary classics, make mooncakes, and decorate things with
red lanterns with their parents. The organizers hope to make learning about Chinese
culture and traditions a bridge between parents and children. In this way, the classics can
walk into the lives of ordinary families. Photo/Imagine China
The Tao of Laughter

The Tao of Laughter, Yue Minjuns exhibition showing his new sculptures, opened in
Hong Kongs Harbor City on September 23rd. The protagonist of the exhibition is the
Smirking Manan idol created by Yue through a process of continuous duplication.
Yue says that the spirit of Smirking Man originated from the philosophy of Taoism,
while the Tao of Laughter theme derives from the main theme of Tao-te-ching. In

In early winter, the ground of the Pingan

Village, Longji County in Guangxi
Zhuang Autonomous Region is covered
with thin frost. The Zhuang people have
rebuilt the slopes of the mountains into
terraces, and then constructed wood
stilt building on the terrace layers. A

The Zhuang Peoples

Tilling Wisdom
Written and photographed by Meng Fanhong
Due to the lack of rugged topography of this mountainous region, the Zhuang people, who are the
major ethnic group living in this area, have from the time of their earliest ancestors racked their
brains on how to maximize the amount of land that can be plowed for planting rice seedlings and
other crops. After many years of hard toil, the Longji terrace came into being. The terrace seems
to be a miracle in the eyes of outsiders; however, when the Zhuang people pick up their hoes, all
they see are blocks of land which can support their families.

rooms, while the top floor has the bedrooms.
These structures are genuine wood buildings,
as they lack any kind of brick or tile. This kind
of construction is impossible in Northern
China, as the weather is very dry, so if a fire
breaks out, people will have little chance of
being rescued. Since visitors from Northern
China worry about this possible danger, the
owners will symbolically put a fire bucket at
the doormost of the time, unless the owner
forgets, the bucket will be filled with water, so
as to put these guests minds at ease.
The narrow mountain road winds up
between the wood complexes, taking
an intricate and complicated path. Most
of the buildings are very close, but since
the road to them is a kind of maze, the
structures are nonetheless hard to reach.
With the development of tourism, the
wood buildings have been given many
decent names, such as XX Hotel, XX
Restaurant or XX Inn. Most of the rooms
cost around 100 RMB per day; all have a
window through which guests can gaze at
the terraces.
In the evening, a man dragging a
string of lit firecrackers came over, followed

Longji Terrace
As the largest terrace on the Longji Mountain, Longji Terrace is one of the 20 primary attractions in
Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. With a history of over 700 years, the terrace was reclaimed
and naturally scattered high and low in the mountain. In the past the Longji terrace referred to the
Qixingbanyue terrace in the Pingan Village. In a broader sense, the Longji terrace is the name of
the entire scenic spot and referrs to the whole terrace group in this area.
Two entrances to get into Longji Village:
1. Pingan Village
a. Take the Express Bus from Guilin to Longsheng County, then transfer to the shuttle bus and get off at the
Pingan Parking Lot (Longji). Pingan village is a twenty minute walk from the parking lot.
b. Take the slow train from Guilin to Heping Township and then wait for the shuttle bus from Longsheng to Longji
at the Longji intersection.
c. Take the shuttle bus from Longsheng to Shuanghekou and get Huangluo. You will reach Pingan village after
an hours walk.
2. Longji Village
a. Walk to Longji Village from the Qixingbanyue scenic spot in Pingan Village. It takes about 40 minutes.
b. Walk from the Longji intersection for a few minutes toward the direction of Longsheng County, then walk along
a trail which is under construction for about 3 hours and one can get the Longji Village. This route can save one

because they seldom see strangers. But

they never display hostility when facing
strangers. If the animals see you coming
from the opposite direction, they will get
out of your way. When going in the same
direction, they will follow you but keep
a certain distance; the animals behave
as if they are embarrassed to get one
step closer. The dogs are all similar in
appearance, size, and even in behavior.
Twenty dogs act like one, that is to say all
of them will make a quick escape when
encountering people. The types and
appearances of Chinese local dogs are
almost as pure as purebred dogs, so even
hybridization has not given rise to any
exceptions in this behavior.

The chicken, ducks, dogs and cattle of the village are all very shy, perhaps because they seldom see
strangers. But they never display hostility when facing strangers.
Unlike the wood buildings in Pingan

Village, the ones in Longji are really old. Many
of them have a history stretching back over
200 years. Longji has no new houses. There
is not even one shop, restaurant, or other
business sign in the village. All the villagers,
men and women, old and young alike, share
the family name of Liao. Longji looks more
like the private holding of a declining family
than a village. The surrounding areas are all
tranquil, and the only proof of human activity
is the bacon hung out of the window and
occasional sound of a creaking door being
opened or closed from one of the wood
buildings.
The chicken, ducks, dogs and cattle
of the village are all very shy, perhaps
in the mountain, like the famous No.23

player in American team did.
Travel Guide
Food: All hotels and restaurants offer authentic Zhuang
food, such as the homemade sausages and chili sauce.
One should not go to the Longji Village without tasting
the local Watery wine, which is brewed with rice. The
taste is too good to describe.
Accommodation: Just like the local residences, all hotels
in Pingan Village are stilted wood buildings. Hotel rooms
are mainly standard rooms, where one can see the
terraces.
Travelling: When walking around in the village and look
for scenic spots, one should bear in mind to walk along
the stone road. You can surely ask the villagers if you
can understand them.
Shopping: When shopping at stores in the village, one
must not ask for prices in one shop and go to another
shop to buy, because the two owners might argue with
each other immediately and in the end no one would do
the business with you. In any case, the prices will almost
be similar and youd better choose one shop and buy
goods from there.

Tourbillons Maker
It was only because of the Tourbillon
that Tong Laibao attracted the attention
of the media for the first time. From
the news reporting, people know that
Tong can make tourbillons manually by
himself.
The encyclopedia on the internet
introduces tourbillon using very elegant
language. It says, The Tourbillon is a
kind of watch speed regulating device.
The device was invented by the Swiss
clock master Louis Breguet in 1795.
Breguet invented the tourbillon in order
to counter the effects of gravity on clock
parts. Ordinary mechanical watches
usually have large errors due to the
effects of clockwork tightness, metal
fatigue, as well as the influence of gravity.
The tourbillon governor is currently the
only mechanic watch device whose
annual deviation is less than 1 second
and also can achieve Observatory
level accuracy in keeping time. Today,
almost all the raw materials used in the
watch cores and key parts can only be
produced in Switzerland. A tourbillon
watch core made in Switzerland costs
at least 1 million RMB; in addition, the
mechanical watch with a tourbillon

highly sought after by collectors, making
it almost synonym with hard currency.
Tong tells us that the basic principle
and structure of tourbillons made by him
are the same as those in the Swiss and
European watches. It can also work very
well. He says, But the tourbillons made
by myself are only a rough version, after all,
handmade things can not be compared
with things made by machines in terms
of fineness. Manually handling those
parts, which are several times finer than
a human hair, is really very difficult even
when wearing a magnifying glass.
However, Tong does not regard
tourbillon as something very magical. He
says, In the watch repair industry, the
accuracy and performance of a timepiece
is the most important principle.

Types of Tourbillon
In 2003, inspired by the double axis tourbillon
invented in the 1970s by Richard Good, the
young German watchmaker Thomas Prescher
developed for the Thomas Prescher Haute
Horlogerie the first flying double-axis tourbillon
in a pocket watch and, in 2004 the first flying
double-axis tourbillon with constant force in the
carriage in a wristwatch.
introduction of their Double Tourbillon 30

(DT30). Both men had been working together
since 1992 at Renaud & Papi, where they
developed complicated watch movements. The
Double Tourbillon 30 features one tourbillon
carriage rotating once per minute and inclined
at 30, inside another carriage which is rotating
every four minutes.
A characteristic of this tourbillon is that it turns

around two axes, both of which rotate once
per minute. The whole tourbillon is powered
by a special constant-force mechanism, called
a remontoire. Thomas Prescher invented the
constant-force mechanism to equalize the
effects of a wound and unwound mainspring,
friction, and gravitation. Thereby even force
is always supplied to the oscillation regulating
system of the double-axis tourbillon. The device
incorporates a modified system after a design by
Henri Jeanneret.
In 2005 Greubel Forsey presented their

Quadruple Tourbillon Diffrentiel (QDT),
using two double-tourbillons working
independently. A spherical differential connects
the four rotating carriages, distributing torque
between two wheels rotating at different speeds.
Double and quadruple tourbillions
Robert Greubel and Stephen Forsey launched

the brand Greubel Forsey in 2004 with the

Prescher, Thomas (wristwatch), Triple-AxisTourbillon Regulator Sport. In 2004 Thomas

Prescher developed the first triple-axis tourbillon
for the Thomas Prescher Haute Horlogerie with
constant force in the carriage in a wristwatch.
The world's unique tri-axial tourbillon
movement for wristwatch with traditional jewel
bearings only was invented by the independent
watchmaker Aaron Becsei, from Bexei Watches,

in 2007. The Primus wristwatch was presented
at the Baselworld 2008 in Basel, Switzerland.
In the three axis tourbillon movement, the
3rd (external) cage has a unique form which
provides the possibility of using jewel bearings
everywhere, instead of ball-bearings. This
is a unique solution at this size and level of
complication.
Flying tourbillon
Rather than being supported by a bridge, or

cock, at both the top and bottom, the flying
tourbillon is cantilevered, being only supported
from one side. The first flying tourbillon was
designed by Alfred Helwig, instructor at the
German School of Watchmaking, in 1920 In
1993, Kiu Tai-Yu, a Chinese watchmaker who
resides in Hong Kong, created a semi-flying
tourbillon with only an abbreviated carriage for
the escapement wheel and pallet fork, the upper
pivot of the balance wheel being supported in a
sapphire bridge. Some mistakenly believe this to
be the world's first tourbillon watch with neither
bridge nor carriage.

If people want to achieve electoral

Hoche: Make Clothes with Fish Skin
Written by Shao Cong Photo/FOTOE
Apparel reflects a peoples life style. Hoche people make clothes with fish skin, and this
practice cannot be separated from their original way of life, which was based on fishing.
Chinas Heilongjiang and Ussuri River once had abundant stocks of fish, making it easy for
the Hoche people to obtain large catches from these rivers. The fish they caught were not
only a source of daily food, but could also be used to make fish skin clothes.
Whether we walk into a clothing store or

open a wardrobe at home, most clothes we
can see are made of cotton, linen, fiber or
animal fur. However, in Northeast Chinas
Heilongjiang Province, there lives a national
minority called Hoche, and the Hoche
peoples traditional clothes are made of fish
skin.
The Hoche are one of Chinas smallest
national minorities in terms of population.
They are concentrated in the Three River
Plain, which consists of the Heilongjiang
and Ussuri Rivers, the lower reaches of the
Songhua River, as well as the Wandashan
area. According to the latest population
census, Hoche nationality consists of less
than 5,000 people.

Hoche people make clothes with fish skin,
and this practice cannot be separated from

River once had abundant stocks of fish,
making it easy for the Hoche people to
obtain large catches from these rivers. The
fish they caught were not only a source of

fish skin clothes.
One needs to do a lot of detailed
preparations before making fish skin clothes.
First, one has to strip off the whole skin of
a chub or carp with a Hoche specialized
tool, usually a wooden knife. Hoche people

of ensuring that the fish skin remains largely

intact. Compared to metal knives, wooden
ones will not damage the fish skin. Selecting

the right fish is also important; if the fish is
fresh enough, it is very easy to separate the
skin and meat, and there wont be a lot of
meat left on the skin. This is ideal material
for making fish skin clothes. However, if the
fish is not fresh, stripping off the fish skin
becomes a big challenge.
The fishs stripped off skin will be aired
on a flat door panel. One day later, the skin
will be dry and hard, but it still cannot be
directly used to make clothes.
Hoche people will add some cornmeal
on the hard skin, roll the skin tightly, and
wrap it up. The cornmeal, which is powder
ground from corn kernels, is mainly used
to absorb the skins fat. They then put the

Sixteen Movies Sketch the Fleeting Shadows of Hong Kong

1950s: A Black and White Portrayal
Little Cheung, directed by Feng Feng, is a true portrayal

of poverty in Hong Kong in the early 1950s. Despite being
only 10 years old at the time, Bruce Lee vividly played the
main little culprit role. His character is unwilling to be poor
and is still a little conscientious. The movie is one of Bruce
Lees early enlightening screen performances.
In the Face of Demolition, directed by Li Tie, poor people
as a whole form the collective main character of the film.
These people have no jobs or earn little money but all of
them are kind-hearted.
Sworn Sisters, directed by Wu Hui, tells the different
experiences of several maids from Guangdong Province. The
movie shows various strange things in society by portraying
the situation of lower class female professionals.
1970s, The Comedy Era
72 Guests is directed by Chu Yuan. Many guests live in

an old courtyard, and the owner of the courtyard intends
to drive the guests away taking advantage of the Police
Chiefs power, and turn it into a brothel, gambling den, and
adult entertainment center. Thus causes an eviction and
anti-eviction struggle.
Private Eyes is a movie directed by Michael Hui. The story
takes place in a detective agency, and the movie interprets
what goes on in the agency in a very humorous way.
Follow the Star head, directed by John Woo, is a simple and
joyful comedy action film, with no logical plot or story line.

The film festival has several criteria

for selecting movies. First, its organizers
want movies that are new to mainland
audiences, so films that have been

chosen. Second, in terms of the content,

present to the audiences is not the
fighting or killing present in commercial
movies, but our every day life, such as
the relationship between people and
neighborhoods, where we can see a lot
of human warmth.
Of all these movies, Tos personal
favorite is Private Eyes. He says, At that

Shing Kee Tea House, directed by Gui Zhihong, is about

a teahouse boss, who is involved in the game between the
police and the triad and has to choose between justice
and loyalty. The movie is regarded as the pioneer of Hong

and the emotions of those focused on ethical dilemmas.
The movie has been very well received in Hong Kong,
where it is breaking office records.
Made in Hong Kong, directed by Fruit Chen, is the tragic
story of a failed youth. The movie presents the rebellion
against the family, patriarchy and social power of Hong
Kong youth, as well as their alienation from a boring
existence and fear of death.
1990s, Shadows Behind the Bustling City
In Cage China, director Jacob Cheung focuses his lens

on the disadvantaged, calmly depicting the deplorable lives
of Hong Kongs lowest class citizens.
Father and Son, Allen Fong's first film, is one of the main
works of the Hong Kong New Wave cinema. The movie
has vividly portrayed the hopeful mentality of the strict
fathers in traditional Chinese society.
Akizuki, directed by Clara Law, tells a story of a Japanese
youth comes to Hong Kong to seek the true meaning of life.
After arriving in the city, he encounters a friend and through
this relationship finally understands his inner heart. The movie
describes the collision between and fusion of two generations.
Rouge, directed by Stanley Kwan, is a Hong Kong version of
Ghost.
Sparrow, directed by Johnnie To, tells a story of four
ordinary mens adventures in seeking freedom for the sake
of their favorite girls. It is Johnnies love letter addressed
to Hong Kong.
New Endless Love, directed by Derek Yee, who also
wrote the screenplay for the movie, tells a story of an
underappreciated musician inspired by an optimistic girl
who is terminally ill.

story of an extramarital affair between a married man and
woman who are neighbors in the same apartment building.
