PRESIDENT’s Note<br />

Dear Members and Friends<br />

It is a great honour and privilege for me to take<br />

over as President of RAS <strong>Ch<strong>in</strong>a</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>Shanghai</strong>. May<br />

I first take this opportunity to s<strong>in</strong>cerely thank<br />

Peter Hibbard for his dedication and<br />

commitment to resurrect<strong>in</strong>g the <strong>Society</strong> and for<br />

all he has done over the past four years. I am<br />

very pleased to tell you that Peter will cont<strong>in</strong>ue<br />

his <strong>in</strong>volvement and assist whenever possible –<br />

thank you Peter.<br />

I would also like to extend thanks to the newly<br />

elected RAS Council and I have further good<br />

news to share with you. We have had an offer<br />

from a member to take up the position of<br />

Honorary Secretary, who will be co-opted to<br />

Council at our meet<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> February. We now<br />

have a larger Council with vary<strong>in</strong>g expertise<br />

and new ideas – as L<strong>in</strong>dsay Shen said at our<br />

recent Council meet<strong>in</strong>g, “it’s amaz<strong>in</strong>g to see<br />

so many people <strong>in</strong>volved on Council… <strong>in</strong><br />

comparison to the newly formed Council <strong>in</strong> 2007 when there<br />

were only a handful of people”.<br />

It is also worth mention<strong>in</strong>g that we have other key members co-ord<strong>in</strong>at<strong>in</strong>g our activities who are not Council<br />

members, but operate under the direction of Council and provide excellent service to our <strong>Society</strong>, for which<br />

we are extremely grateful. In the fullness of time, we are hop<strong>in</strong>g to take on some permanent support to deal<br />

with the <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g adm<strong>in</strong>istrative load and day to day runn<strong>in</strong>g of the <strong>Society</strong>. I’m sure you will all be aware of<br />

the amount of organization <strong>in</strong>volved <strong>in</strong> all our activities and we really need to address this now, so that when<br />

the time comes for Council members to move on, there is cont<strong>in</strong>uity of support for new people com<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>.<br />

Two other important people who have been with us from the very beg<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g, are Jennifer and Stephen, and we<br />

are <strong>in</strong>debted to them for their cont<strong>in</strong>ued valuable <strong>in</strong>put.<br />

The first item to address is our bulk e-mail<strong>in</strong>g system. We are <strong>in</strong> the process of chang<strong>in</strong>g this to facilitate<br />

quicker and easier communication with you. Please bear with us while we do this. Some names may<br />

<strong>in</strong>advertently fall by the wayside, so please do let us know if you th<strong>in</strong>k you are not receiv<strong>in</strong>g our mail<strong>in</strong>gs. We<br />

will endeavour to make the transition as smooth as possible. Can I rem<strong>in</strong>d you that details of all our activities<br />

are listed on our website.<br />

As we celebrate the New Year 2012 and prepare to welcome the Ch<strong>in</strong>ese Year of the Dragon, we have managed<br />

to squeeze <strong>in</strong> some RAS events and we do hope to see some of you at these dur<strong>in</strong>g the first half of January.<br />

Our first Lecture of the year is very timely <strong>in</strong>deed, given recent events <strong>in</strong> North Korea, and promises to be a<br />

fasc<strong>in</strong>at<strong>in</strong>g talk.<br />

DECEMBER EVENTS<br />

December started with a planned light schedule:<br />

one RAS Weekender and one RAS Lecture, the<br />

regular two meet<strong>in</strong>gs of the RAS Modern Ch<strong>in</strong>ese<br />

History Study Group and a RAS Film Club<br />

gather<strong>in</strong>g. Late opportunities meant that we<br />

<strong>in</strong>cluded two further RAS Weekenders.<br />

Heaven’s Embroidered Cloth was the topic of<br />

Chris Hall’s talk <strong>in</strong> which he lead us through<br />

some of his outstand<strong>in</strong>g collection of Ch<strong>in</strong>ese<br />

Antique textiles; rang<strong>in</strong>g from a Han Dynasty<br />

robe to the changes that occurred <strong>in</strong> both<br />

dress and decorative fabrics <strong>in</strong> the Q<strong>in</strong>g<br />

period. (photos left)<br />

Follow<strong>in</strong>g the bus tour <strong>in</strong> November, some<br />

members were able to take advantage of<br />

Alvaro Leonardo’s special tour of the<br />

Abelardo Lafuente Exhibition he directed<br />

and produced. The exhibition while small was one of<br />

the highlights of <strong>Shanghai</strong>’s exhibition programme. The<br />

creativity of the exhibition presentation coupled with<br />

excellent <strong>in</strong>formation and images made it a really cherry.<br />

(photos right)<br />

John Service, an American diplomat on service <strong>in</strong> <strong>Ch<strong>in</strong>a</strong> is<br />

the subject of Lynne Jo<strong>in</strong>er’s highly acclaimed<br />

biography of the man, and was the topic of her<br />

talk when she enterta<strong>in</strong>ed us with many anecdotal<br />

accounts of her experiences dur<strong>in</strong>g the process of<br />

writ<strong>in</strong>g this work. (photos right)<br />

Anna Greenspan presented to us the research<br />

and development of her work on <strong>Shanghai</strong> Retro<br />

futurism and how our city has come to<br />

look and be like the future of cities. Treat<strong>in</strong>g us<br />

to some excellent footage she illustrated how our<br />

ideas of aesthetics of the future have been<br />

shaped and <strong>in</strong> turn <strong>in</strong>fluenced the aesthetic image<br />

of <strong>Shanghai</strong> of today. (photos left)<br />

SUZHOU CHAPTER: Bill Dodson, VP Suzhou,<br />

welcomed Ian Gow, who shared his<br />

research and enthusiasm of western<br />

<strong>in</strong>fluences on Ch<strong>in</strong>ese Higher Education. (photos<br />

well as the co-ord<strong>in</strong>ators of RAS Film Club and RAS<br />

RAS FILM CLUB LAST MONTH… we saw Jiang Wen’s<br />

Guizi Lai Le or “Devils on the Doorstep”, a film that we all<br />

agreed is a complex and <strong>in</strong>telligent <strong>in</strong>terpretation of the effects<br />

of wars. Set at the close of the Japanese occupation of <strong>Ch<strong>in</strong>a</strong><br />

and filmed <strong>in</strong> black and white, members’ comments confirmed<br />

that it is both a comedy and a tragedy, rendered with historical<br />

accuracy and shock<strong>in</strong>gly <strong>in</strong>cisive on the ru<strong>in</strong> that war can br<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

Particularly impressive was the lead performance of Jiang Wen<br />

who appears <strong>in</strong> almost every scene as well as direct<strong>in</strong>g. He is<br />

thoroughly conv<strong>in</strong>c<strong>in</strong>g as he moves through the story, battered<br />

by his experiences. The f<strong>in</strong>al dramatic scene was cause for<br />

discussion and whilst some of the audience were disturbed by<br />

the violence <strong>in</strong> the latter part of the movie, others felt that it was<br />

pitched at a level necessary for the <strong>in</strong>tent of the movie. From<br />

the comments I received it was another satisfy<strong>in</strong>g meet<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

THIS MONTH… cont<strong>in</strong>u<strong>in</strong>g our exploration, the film for<br />

January is Lou Ye’s Suzhou He or “Suzhou River”. Like “Devils<br />

on the Doorstep”, it was made <strong>in</strong> 2000 but is very different <strong>in</strong><br />

form and content. Firmly set <strong>in</strong> <strong>Shanghai</strong> and filmed largely with<br />

a handheld camera, it is a multi-layered love story that has<br />

been compared to Hitchcock’s Vertigo and Wong Kar-Wai’s<br />

Chungk<strong>in</strong>g Express but is also a re<strong>in</strong>vention of the ghost story.<br />

Another award-w<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g movie by a director who has made<br />

several banned <strong>in</strong> <strong>Ch<strong>in</strong>a</strong> movies (the last be<strong>in</strong>g Summer<br />

Palace), it gives us a very different look at contemporary<br />

Ch<strong>in</strong>ese film.<br />

Book early to avoid disappo<strong>in</strong>tment.<br />

Happy New Year!<br />

THE FILM CLUB WANTS YOUR INPUT…<br />

There are a huge number of Ch<strong>in</strong>ese movies worth watch<strong>in</strong>g<br />

and decid<strong>in</strong>g on a programme of films raises an array of<br />

possibilities as to where to draw the parameters of what we<br />

screen. From time to time we will ask members to give us their<br />

op<strong>in</strong>ion on whether a particular category of film should be<br />

excluded or <strong>in</strong>cluded from consideration. Thank you for the<br />

responses you sent last month that told me you would like to<br />

concentrate on Ma<strong>in</strong>land films, supplemented by other Ch<strong>in</strong>ese<br />

language films that are significant to the genre. This month we<br />

are pos<strong>in</strong>g the third question:<br />

DO WE WANT TO INCLUDE DOCUMENTARY FILMS?<br />

<strong>Ch<strong>in</strong>a</strong> is considered to have made a huge contribution<br />

<strong>in</strong>ternationally to this genre of film. Prolific <strong>in</strong> <strong>Ch<strong>in</strong>a</strong>, it would be<br />

possible to have a club dedicated just to documentary.<br />
