| | Grumble, grumble. When I try to follow a link from ZGbriefs.com, I get a white page that says in black letters across the top, "Not Acceptable". Not even the ambiguous, "Problem Loading Page" that pops up when most of the websites are blocked (and then I can get to them using a proxy site). No, no, this is "Not Acceptable" and that's the end. In the past, I've also gotten something about "Access Forbidden." It's slightly unsettling to realize that somehow they can even see through the proxy that I'm using.
Anyway, I love ZGBriefs for China news (thanks Todd!). They deliver a weekly condensation of lots of articles, and most of them good. This article was one of the most exciting I've read in awhile. China getting through modernism (I dream of it) and starting to embrace all the wisdom that they now seem to mostly just pay lip service to (though my coworker Zhang insists it's hidden deep in every person as a part of the collective unconcious). I agree with the author about China being amazinly experimental and can't wait to learn more about the stuff of this Whitehead philosophy.
Here's the article:

I found my toothbrush this morning, while packing, in the bottom of my backpack. I left it there, and thought, it's actually sort of appropriate that I've been using a complimentary hotel toothbrush for these two weeks I've been at home sandwiched between these other weeks of being awayl. I am thrilled to be going out again. We have a week of meetings and retreatish time in Kunming. I get to meet others from my organization and talk about why we're in China. Sing hymns, gossip into the night with Catherine, cross-stitch with Carol, laugh alot. Then I get to go even warmer, to Hanoi, where I'll meet ZhaoXing and his dad for another week of vacation. Mmmm. |
