'It is a hard place to reach from the provincial capital of Guangzhou -- a six-hour haul by bus from lowlands through increasingly rugged countryside over steadily narrowing roads.

Cricket fighting still a hit. Deng Xiaojin has sold crickets in Shanghai for more than 20 years. Each autumn, the 70-year-old man would bring his crickets from Hangzhou, one of the major native haunts of crickets in China. Commuting between Shanghai and Hangzhou in neighbouring Zhejiang Province every other day, Deng can sell more than 2,500 crickets within 50 days. "I can make over 10,000 yuan ($1,250) from the cricket business annually," Deng said, taking out his little porcelain bottles and bamboo sticks, which he uses to transport the crickets.

The Olympic Leap. That long nightmare began to wane with the rise to power of Deng Xiaoping. Astute and pragmatic, Deng understood that Mao's peculiar statecraft doomed China to further decades of servitude and lassitude as a teetering third-world economy with more than a billion mouths to feed. So he threw out the Little Red Book and replaced it with the Axiom of the Black and White Cat: "It doesn't matter," he would say, justifying the occasional obvious deviation from Communist economic orthodoxy, "if the cat is black or white, as long as it catches the mouse." It will take the mature fullness of history for the late Deng (relentlessly clear-eyed and as practical as possible under the lumbering system) to be appreciated as the maker of modern China and for Mao to be seen as its fierce liberator.

Pop tunes excite Chinese mainlanders. When China started to reform and open to the outside world, the fresh sounds of Taiwan singer Deng Lijun (Teresa Teng) captivated many Chinese mainlanders overnight. Though she was but a love song singer, Deng showed most would-be mainland pop musicians what pop music was. Deng's songs were what young people were looking for after hearing too many revolutionary songs: easily hummed melodies, romantic lyrics and a rather bourgeois attitude. by Mu Qian China Daily 10/07/1999

MAC warns against China dangers. Investment in China can be an attractive proposition for Taiwanese businessmen, but they should be aware of the hidden dangers in doing business in China, said John Teng (鄧振中), vice chairman of the Mainland Affairs Council of the Executive Yuan in an interview Tuesday. In an interview with the Central News Agency, Teng said that China is an important part of the world economy and one which cannot be ignored. He said that Taiwanese businessmen's activities in China are bound to increase. "Currently there are no fewer than 50,000 Taiwanese companies operating on the mainland and they have recruited some 500,000 staff members, mostly of the executive levels, from Taiwan," Teng said. "As a matter of fact, the figures are very likely underestimated, because no official records are kept," he added. Taipei Times June 28, 2001

Chinese Scientists Breed New Variety of Tomato. The new variety of tomato is "an unusual leap forward" from previous species in terms of quality and quantity, according to the scientists with the Heilongjiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences (HAAS), in northeast China's Heilongjiang Province.

Natural sound music to the ears. Deng Erbo, dean of the Composing Department, recalled an incident that helped him decide to set the policy. In this April, the school held entrance exams for children who love music. They were asked to write an article about the cuckoo. But a child from the countryside asked the teacher, "What does the cuckoo look like?"

They often encourage their students to get in touch with the animals on campus. by Shen Jialu China Daily 06/29/2001

Come, web ads. Mr. Deng Hailin of Sina.net says that the development of the Internet in China has only a 10-year history. Online advertising is a new thing. China's relevant laws and regulations are obviously backward. China's ICPs are still at a stage of self-discipline. There are no concrete laws or regulations to follow. They can only try to follow international norms. China Youth Daily, July 1999

Where High-Tech Talent Is Scarce...and Help May Be a While Coming. As an industry veteran, Elvis Deng thought his new semiconductor-testing company was a sure thing. He offered faster and more efficient testing services, provided support for his customers from design to finished product, and had good relations with the manufacturers.
