Beijing: Preserving China's Identity
During the last 40 years, China's has seen enormous change and this rapid change lead to an identity crisis for some Chinese people trying to navigate modern times. During the reform and opening up period, many Chinese people didn't understand what it meant to be Chinese.
While cities, like Shenzhen and Shanghai, were building modern China, Beijing was struggling to preserve China's traditional culture and identity. 40 years on and both Shenzhen and Beijing have found their place in forging China's modern identity.
In this second part of the series, we look at how Beijing was able to overcome its own hurdles and find its voice in modern China.

Beijing 4K - Walk in Old Summer Palace on Lantern Festival - China 中国北京圆明园元宵节灯会夜游行走视频
#Beijing #OldSummerPalace #LanternFestival
The Lantern Festival or the Spring Lantern Festival is a Chinese festival celebrated on the fifteenth day of the first month in the lunisolar Chinese calendar. Usually falling in February or early March on the Gregorian calendar, it marks the final day of the traditional Chinese New Year celebrations. As early as the Western Han Dynasty (206 BCE-CE 25), it had become a festival with great significance. During the Lantern Festival, children go out at night carrying paper lanterns and solve riddles on the lanterns.
In ancient times, the lanterns were fairly simple, and only the emperor and noblemen had large ornate ones. In modern times, lanterns have been embellished with many complex designs. For example, lanterns are now often made in the shape of animals. The lanterns can symbolize the people letting go of their past selves and getting new ones, which they will let go of the next year. The lanterns are almost always red to symbolize good fortune.
The festival acts as an Uposatha day on the Chinese calendar. It should not to be confused with the Mid-Autumn Festival; which is sometimes also known as the Lantern Festival in locations such as Singaporeand Malaysia. The Lantern Festival has also become popular in Western countries, especially in cities with a large Chinese community. In London, the Magical Lantern Festival is held annually.
he Old Summer Palace, known in Chinese as Yuanming Yuan , and originally called the Imperial Gardens , was a complex of palaces and gardens in present-day Haidian District, Beijing, China. It is 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) northwest of the walls of the former Imperial City section of Beijing. Constructed throughout the 18th and early 19th centuries, the Old Summer Palace was the main imperial residence of Qianlong Emperor of the Qing dynasty and his successors, and where they handled state affairs; the Forbidden City was used for formal ceremonies. Widely perceived as the pinnacle work of Chinese imperial garden and palace design, the Old Summer Palace was known for its extensive collection of gardens, its building architecture and numerous art and historical treasures. It was reputed as the Garden of Gardens in its heyday.
In 1860, during the Second Opium War, as the Anglo-French expedition force relentlessly approached Beijing, two British envoys, a journalist for The Times and a small escort of British and Indian troopers were sent to meet Prince Yi under a flag of truce to negotiate a Qing surrender. Meanwhile, the French and British troops reached the palace and conducted extensive looting and destruction. Later on, as news emerged that the negotiation delegation had been imprisoned and tortured, resulting in 20 deaths, the British High Commissioner to China, Lord Elgin, retaliated by ordering the complete destruction of the palace, which was then carried out by British troops. The palace was so large – covering more than 800 acres – that it took 4000 men 3 days of burning to destroy it. Many exquisite artworks – sculptures, porcelain, jade, silk robes, elaborate textiles, gold objects and more – were stolen and are now found in 47 museums around the world, according to UNESCO.

CHINA: BEIJING: CHINESE NEW YEAR CELEBRATIONS
Mandarin/Nat
With the Chinese New Year only a few hours away, temple fairs are in full swing all over Beijing.
Perhaps the largest and most colourful, the Ditan Park -- Temple of the Earth Park -- held opening celebrations on Monday for its 13th Spring Cultural Festival.
Crowds gathered despite the cold morning air to listen to the traditional drumming and watch the dancing lions.
One of the most important rituals of the Chinese New Year, which begins on January 28th, is the warding off of evil spirits.
It is widely believed that evil spirits are scared of loud noises such as detonating fireworks and drums.
And so, young men and women drummed and danced before the main gates of Ditan Park on Monday before the crowds filed into the fairground for a day of fun.
The centuries-old Lion Dance is yet another way to keep monsters and devils at bay.
Considered to be very ferocious creatures, lions sway their heads, bodies and tails in an effort to scare evil away but the effect is often quite lighthearted.
Today's dancing lions certainly did not frighten this grandmother and grand-daughter.
Once the evil spirits were warded off, crowds of Beijingers entered the temple grounds.
As the year of the ox gives way to the year of the tiger, representations of this other regal animal can be found everywhere.
Unlike a real tiger this giant plastic version smiled and welcomed the crowds.
The third of the Chinese zodiac's twelve animals, the tiger represents health and vigour and is the second most respected animal after the dragon.
Activities at the fair are numerous and varied.
Success at getting a coin through a hole in a metal plate should bring lots of good luck.
Traditional food also plays an important role during the celebrations... and there is plenty to choose from.
Objects such as this traditional teapot - widely used during the Qing dynasty - decorate the street food stands.
You Cha -- a gruel of sweetened, fried flour mixed with tea -- and candied fruit on sticks satisfy the sweet tooths roaming through the fair.
Chinese minority folk art -- like these hats from Xinjiang -- is also on sale.
And... as the Lunar New Year approaches, people are up to predictions and hopes.
VOXPOP: (Mandarin)
(The year of the tiger represents) strength and vigor which should mean a happy new year for everyone.
SUPER CAPTION: Voxpop
VOXPOP: (Mandarin)
I would like this year to be better and better.
SUPER CAPTION: Vox-pop
VOXPOP: (Mandarin)
I hope my father will buy me a computer.

As the Year of Tiger gets closer, the Chinese entertain dreams of prosperity.

Naadohdi 过渡，在北京，中国 - Beijing, China
Landed in Beijing early morning and had to catch the connecting flight in the evening. I thought it would be a shame to spend the time in the airport, which by the way was as grand as any other airport. The immigration and customs was easy to clear and found something interesting in the immigration officers desk. It is a polling machine to be used by us, it has buttons to say whether the service given by the officer is good, bad and ugly sort of a thing. What we vote cannot be seen by the officer and all the votes during the shift are added and play a role in their performance appraisal. You would think the experience with the officers in a communist country such as China would be difficult, and it is far from it. In addition to this voting gadget, they also have a thermal scanner to check the body temperatures of the passengers, it glows green or red based on your temperature and it helps to sort out passengers in crisis such as SARs.
I had communicated with a driver via eMail and he was to pick me up in the airport and drive me around for the whole day. I did not pay him any advance deposit for the service, so was not sure whether he will show up. I had a plan on using public transit as well just in case, but Xin was right there.
The first stop was Tiananmen Square. Many of us have watched the protests in TV and the bloody result in this square. Today it was quiet, and seems to truly represent its meaning, gate of heavenly peace. I saw a number of cops and the tourists started pouring in and could very well imagine how crowded it would be later in the day. From the square, passed the Tiananmen gates and proceeded to the Forbidden City.
The forbidden city is a vast complex and could take a day on its own. It was the palace of the Ming emperors. It has a number of halls inside, each for a specific purpose, prayer, reading etc. The palace also has a manmade canal inside the complex as well as imperial gardens. As you would expect there are happy and sad stories of marriages and suicides inside the complex and the tour guides could make it dramatic. The hill on the Northern exit has a wonderful view of the Forbidden City. Unfortunately the thick fog would not let the camera see that beauty.
The next stop was great wall. The wall is long enough to be seen from few areas north of Beijing. Each one seem to have their value, I went to the Mutianyu section as it is less commercial and the wall in this section stretches without any break. It took about an hour to reach the base of the wall and then a cable car whisked away to the spot from where the great wall could be experienced. The wall seem to go way high into the mountains and one can walk as long as they wish. I was told that it is quite possible to walk up and then camp overnight. As I climb down, started to think the amount of hard work that must have gone into building this wall as it is located out of now where, right inside a mountain and then started appreciating the experience even more.
I was there in early December and it was quite cold, the terrain was barren, saw snow on the cliffs and would like to think that late fall when the cherry blossoms around the wall must be a great a time to vist, something to remember while planning another trip.

Marking the end of the Chinese New Year celebrations
(10 Feb 2017) LEAD IN
Millions of Chinese people are preparing to celebrate the Lantern Festival - the traditional end of the Lunar New Year holiday.
The Lantern Festival falls on the 15th day of the Chinese lunar calendar, and residents of Beijing celebrate by hanging red lanterns across the city and visiting public displays.
STORY-LINE
Several hundreds of people have rushed to visit a large lantern show at Beijing's Garden Expo Park on the eve of the Lantern Festival.
About 70 sets of large scale lanterns, lit up by thousands of small LED lights, are on display to celebrate the Lantern Festival on Saturday, which traditionally marks 15 days after the start of the Chinese New Year and the end of the New Year festivities.
The lantern festival is one of the most important festivals in the Chinese lunar calendar.
Gathering with one's family and eating sweet glutinous rice dumpling soup is one of the many traditions involved.
Lighting up dragon or phoenix-shaped lanterns is another one, as it shows the optimistic nature of the Chinese people for the year ahead.
The entire Chinese folk culture, including the lantern festival, expresses the hospitable character of the Chinese people, and their expectations, their wish for a happy life, says Liu Ruibo, head of Beijing Beiao Grand Cultural and Sports Events Co., organizer of the Beijing Lantern Festival expo.
Organizing the lantern show took six months of preparation, and he invited 300 craftsmen from Sichuan, in central China, to come to Beijing for a month to make the biggest sets of lanterns.
At the centre of the lantern expo, is a set of lanterns depicting several dragons surrounding a phoenix.
Each lantern is made of silk, iron wires and LED light bulbs. Further away, another installation depicts an old Beijing tea house. Another one, further, is a stage for Beijing opera.
Couples and families navigate their way among the lantern installations, snap pictures and try to stay warm as a bright blue day makes way to a crisp cold night.
Liu Ruibo is keen to show the part of the expo dedicated to the upcoming Winter Olympics that Beijing will organize in 2022. Several lanterns, this time entirely made of LED lights, depict skiers and ice skaters in action.
Which part did I enjoy the most? Wonders Jing Jing, who came with her boyfriend. Each is distinctive. For example, this one, it design is based on the theme of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, she says .
LED lights also help maintain the expo in the realm of the eco-friendly, a word that's become paramount in China as the authorities are trying to turn China into a leader in renewable energy.
I believe that today, every Chinese, every foreign friend who works in China, can follow an environmentally friendly and green lifestyle, says Liu enthusiastically. I believe they can make a contribution in building up a green China. Not just us, but I believe every category of Chinese can adhere to this attitude, he says .
Liu predicts that it will be the busiest on Saturday, the actual day of the Lantern festival.
However, even the night before, families took advantage of the start of the weekend to pay a visit. Such as little Wang Chenxi, 4, who today ate three sweet dumplings at school, and since then is calling the Lantern Festival the Sweet dumpling festival.
His father, Wang Xiaojian, explains that during Lantern Festival, people eat sweet dumplings because the pronunciation of sweet dumplings and family reunion similar in Mandarin.
Chinese people eat sweet dumplings during the Lantern festival. The dumpling is round, it implies a family reunion, which is the best wish for Chinese families. The Chinese wish to get together with their family and live a happy life, says Wang Xiaojian.

Beijing: City life, gay apps, and live streaming girls | VPRO Documentary
In Beijing, city life takes often more place online than offline. You can still not come out of the closet in real life, but live as a gay online. In Beijing gays meet via app and girls live stream when they sing or just talk to the audience. How are gays experiencing life in a city as Beijing, where being gay is still not accepted? And what is it, that makes young girls live streaming?
In the past 30 years, life for people in China has changed drastically. The third world country has become one of the world leaders and still, most of us don´t know a lot about China and their population. Where is this gigantic country headed? And what do ordinary Chinese appreciate or value?
In the second episode Ruben Terlou arrives in Beijing, where he watches a number of popular live streamers and meets the man behind China's largest internet platform for homosexuals.
Without a smartphone life in the big city has become virtually impossible: it is your debit card, your city card, your ID, your entertainment. And more importantly, your smartphone puts you in touch with like-minded people. Gay people no longer have to go to shadowy parks to find a partner. But the question is how long the government allows this online freedom.
In the big city of Beijing Ruben hires a golden bicycle and meets the fighting mother of a Chinese lala (lesbian). The city is overwhelming so that you can easily disappear. Oddly, that´s also what makes it so special. But where you can disappear, you can be yourself. As long as you don´t stand out.

China - Market for parrots
T/I: 10:36:28
Speculators eager to turn a fast profit have created a new market in Beijing and investors are flocking to grab a piece of China's latest money-making opportunity...rainbow-coloured parrots. The Phoenix birds are the hottest new commodity at the Guangyuan Bridge open-air market where hundreds of traders gather, hoping to turn a quick profit. The parrots, originally natives of Africa, are now being bred by the dozen in specially heated apartment blocks in suburban Beijing. Prices for the parrots are doubling every few months. A green-faced Phoenix parrot which sold for 120 yuan (US $15) two years ago can now fetch 1,500 yuan (US $187.50).

Rise of Chinese middle class fuels interest in craft beers
(18 May 2018) LEADIN:
The rise in China's middle class is fueling an interest in craft beers.
Hundreds of craft beer enthusiasts are attending an exhibit in Shanghai, dedicated to expanding the palette of Chinese consumers and promoting sales of high-end brews.
STORYLINE:
Craft beer is causing a buzz in China.
International and local brewers are attending Shanghai's 2018 Craft Beer of China Exhibition (CBCE) to share tips on the latest technology and sales trends.
And, naturally, taste a few of the latest brews too.
Beer consumption in China is growing beyond legacy brews to more experimental, refined and expensive flavours.
After drinking it (craft beer), it feels much better than the domestic industry beer, and then you just can't leave it, says 40-year-old visitor Yu Shiqi, who hopes to brew his own beer soon.
From the taps pour a creative mix of flavours and traditions, a swirling cocktail of Chinese ingredients combined with barley, hops and spices from around the world.
After drinking industry beer, normally you have to go to the bathroom, says 22-year-old craft beer bar owner Sun Chengmin.
But after drinking good ones, you want to drink more. I have tried 500 to 600 different beer in one year, it feels good, so I started to make my own beer and drink homemade beer.
Panda Beer, ''Little General, ''Flying Fist IPA, and Mandarin Wheat are among the offerings on tap.
Laurel Liu, sales director of Beijing-based Jing-A brewery, says she gets calls from small towns asking how to start up a craft brewery.
What's interesting now is you get inquiries from small, very small, cities or maybe even just a small town, she says.
And people will just come just say; 'Hey, I really want to start a craft beer business here, but I need your help.'
And as a craft beer brewery, sometimes you're not just selling your beer, you have to provide beer service as well.
There's money to be made in China, which drinks a quarter of all beer worldwide. Small-batch brewers and giant multinationals are cashing in.
Though craft beer is far from upstaging local beer behemoths like Tsingtao, that dominate the $28 billion USD national beer market, it is rising in popularity.
Small breweries are opening in China's major metropolitan areas, like Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen.
Craft beers are typically more expensive than mass-market, low-alcohol content brews like Budweiser and China's Yanjing.
But as China's middle class grows, so too does its tastes for new products.
The CBCE expects 30 percent growth in the craft beer market every year until 2020.
Craft beer, a couple of years ago, was only 0.3 percent and now we just like about five percent, says Darren Guo, one of the exhibition's organizers.
The Chinese beer market is the biggest, but not because the Chinese beer culture is the richest or the oldest, no, it's because the population is the biggest.
Actually, the beer culture is pretty much on the beginning, starting level.
According to beer industry research firm Drink Sector, more money was spent on beer in China than the US last year.
While craft breweries were rapidly increasing, foreign imports continued to dominate the high-end beer sector.
Chinese companies, on the other hand, dominate the global beer industry's manufacturing sector.
Exhibitors at CBCE boast customers from Argentina to New Zealand, using Chinese-made vats, mashers, mills, taps, beer mats, and kegs.
Boxing Cat claims to be one of the first microbreweries in China.
