World Book Challenge: China

Officially, the People's Republic of China (PRC). It is the world's most populous country, with a population of around 1.4 billion. It covers approximately 9.6 million square kilometers, and is officially divided into 23 provinces, five autonomous regions, four direct-controlled municipalities (Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, and Chongqing), and the special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macau.

The areas in dark green are under direct Chinese control; the areas in light green (Tibet and Taiwan) are contested. For the purposes of this challenge, I’m treating China, Tibet and Taiwan as three separate countries. Because I can.

Number of Chinese people in New Zealand: As of the 2013 Census, there were 163,104 people of “Chinese (not further defined)” ethnicity in New Zealand - 10,008 of those were in Wellington City.

Have I been there? Yes! I visited Shanghai with my Dad in December 2011. I bought a really nice coat, had tea that tasted like warm Fanta (it was oddly addictive), and got hugged by Dave Grohl. So, the usual Chinese experiences, really.

I also had Peking Duck for the first time in my life, and holy hell I didn’t know what I was missing. I’ve tried to make up for it by eating copious amounts of it since.

The books

For “China” on my reading challenge, I read three fantasy novels - Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation, by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu, and the final two books of the Poppy War trilogy (The Dragon Republic and The Burning God) by R. F. Kuang, a Chinese-American author.

Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation (魔道祖师 / Mó Dào Zǔ Shī)

(Book 30 of 2021)

Given the fact that I have an entire subsection of my blog about how much I love the live-action TV show based on this book, it probably shouldn’t be a surprise that I had Mó Dào Zǔ Shī at the top of my list of Chinese books to read.

Mó Dào Zǔ Shī tells the story of Wei Wuxian, a loathed cultivator of dark and demonic arts who resurrects 16 years after his tragic death. His return to the world brings him to reunite with the people in his first life, including his soulmate, the honored Lan Wangji (who mourned him for 16 years, during which he branded himself with the same mark as Wei Wuxian and kept his memory alive and I’m okay, I promise). Wei Wuxian then begins to remember his time before his demise 16 years ago, from his beginnings as a young cultivator to his descent to dark magic. Together, they solve a mystery linked to a dark tragedy from Wei Wuxian’s first life, then live happily ever after.

This novel was originally published on the Chinese web novel site JJWXC from October 31, 2015 - March 1, 2016, with additional side stories that continue to be released sporadically. The revised version of the main story was later published online until September 7, 2016. A paperback version was released on December 12, 2016, with a total of four volumes in traditional Chinese. The first of three planned volumes in simplified Chinese, titled Wuji, was released in 2018, but release of the following installments has stalled after the locking of the novel on JJWXC since January 2019.

Mó Dào Zǔ Shī isn’t officially available in English, and given that it depicts an explicit danmei relationship between Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji, I don’t think we’ll ever see an official version. Though there are official translations into Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Russian, Japanese, and Burmese, and the tour for the TV traveled to Toronto, Los Angeles and New York, so maybe one day there will be an official translation.

For now though, you can read the entire novel for free at Exiled Rebels Scanlations, where it has been translated in full by a then-highschooler called “K-san”. It’s hard to actually judge the merits of the writing of the original novel, given I was reading an unofficial translation, but that was actually half of the sweetness of it. It was kinda rough - K-san tweaked the terms they used as they gained more confidence with the translation, and I enjoyed reading the translator and editor notes that accompanied most chapters - especially notes such as “we’re translating as fast as we can, stop asking for faster updates!”. It felt really organic and friendly, and the story is good (though much gorier than the TV show and good god boys, learn what lube is, it’ll make your lives better I promise).

I read the book more as a companion to the TV show though, rather than a novel on it’s own merits, so I’m not sure I can judge it as a novel on it’s own merits. Though the book did teach me one very important piece of information: Lan Wangji canonically smells of sandalwood.

Would I read it again? If an official English translation comes out, I’d probably read that. I’m more likely to watch the TV show again, or dive into one of the sesquillion Untamed fanfics on AO3 ( Lán Zhàn | Lán Wàngjī/Wèi Yīng | Wèi Wúxiàn was the most popular ship on AO3 in 2020, with 12,878 new works about these characters being published that year).

The Dragon Republic and The Burning God

(Books 34 and 35 of 2021)

I read The Poppy War and The Dragon Republic back in September 2019 (when I wasn’t counting how many books I was reading, but I did have a record of them), and I decided to re-read The Dragon Republic because I couldn’t exactly remember where the story was up to.

And it’s a good thing I did, as something I thought happened at the end of The Dragon Republic actually happened at the end of The Poppy War, so oops?

The Poppy War trilogy is a grimdark fantasy novel set in fantasy China, with a Chinese protagonist and written by a Chinese-American author. It’s spectacular. The trilogy draws its plot and politics from mid-20th-century China, though it’s atmosphere is more inspired by the Song dynasty. The conflict in the first book is based on the Second Sino-Japanese War (though this time, it’s the Chinese empire against the Japanese empire), in the second on the start of the Chinese civil war (Chinese empire against nascent Republican movement), and in the third on the end of Chinese civil war (Republicans versus not-Republicans).

It’s a massive trilogy. It’s incredibly complex, with a huge scale and massive numbers of characters, though the fact it’s all seen through Rin’s eyes (with the occasional first and last chapter from the point of view of other characters) helps.

The story follows that of Fang Runin, better known as Rin, a poor war orphan in southern Nikara who trains in secret to test into the elite Sinegard Academy. Throughout the trilogy she deals with racism, sexism, elitism...most of the isms, really. Author R.F. Kuang said that Rin's life is meant to parallel the trajectory of Mao Zedong, and I had fun trying to match events in Chinese history to the events in the book (the easiest ones to spot are the Rape of Nanjing, the nuclear bombing of Japan and the Long March).

I don’t remember Mao Zedong having the power to call on a fire god, however. It’s probably a good thing that’s not something that happened in real life China, as Mao’s policies killed enough people without him literally being able to spit fire.

I described the first book as “If Kvothe from The Name of the Wind was female, Chinese, and allowed to say fuck.” Those two books felt really similar to me - they’re very much your “outsider is accepted to elite academy, winds up pissing off most of their classmates and chooses an obscure major to specialise in before being thrown into a conflict they are key to winning.” But honestly, I preferred the Poppy War trilogy, even if the final book did get super dark.

Rin is a really refreshing character, and the world seen through her eyes is a very different place to one I’m used to reading about. Kuang said that she "chose to write a fantasy reinterpretation of China's twentieth century, because that was the kind of story I wasn't finding on bookshelves", and I’m so glad she did. The world needs more books like this. I’m as pasty and as white as they come, and I loved reading a book where the heroine was authentically Chinese. This isn’t a pakeha author trying to fit themselves into someone else’s shoes - this is someone with a deep understanding of Chinese military history and collective trauma using that understanding and pain to build a new fantasy world.

I loved it, and if you can stomach war scenes, I recommend this trilogy.

Will I read the Poppy War trilogy again? I might do. It’s a bit darker and more desperate than I usually read - particularly The Burning God - but I did enjoy them. So that’s a firm “never say never”.

Bonus book! 

These Violent Delights

I read NZ-Chinese author Chloe Gong’s These Violent Delights earlier this year (book number 20 of 2021), before I set myself this challenge, so it doesn’t technically count as an entry for “China” in my book challenge. But it is amazing, and I love it, so I wanted to give it a quick shout out here (because if we’re talking fantasy reimaginings of Chinese 20th century history by Chinese diaspora authors...).

These Violent Delights relocates the story of Romeo and Juliet to 1920s Shanghai, casting the two leads as the heirs to rival gangs. It’s brilliant, it’s beautiful, there were sentences that made me stop and gasp for the sheer delight of having read them, and there’s a monster made of bugs driving the citizens of Shanghai insane. The way Gong has woven the characters from the play into their 1920s counterparts is delightful (I say this as someone who’s never actually read the play, though I think I saw the Leonardo DiCaprio movie because it was difficult to be a tween in the late 90s and not be exposed to his films).

15/10, would definitely read it again, it’s been on the New York Times bestseller list for weeks for a very, very good reason. Stop reading this blog and go get a copy. Now.

The feast

I admit, using China as my first country may have been a bit of a cop out, given my familiarity with Chinese food - though, living in a Western country, I’ve probably eaten more Westernised Chinese food than authentic Chinese food.

Which is why I was chuffed to learn that spring rolls are, actually, authentic Chinese food. I always thought they were a Westernisation, like sweet and sour pork or fortune cookies.

For my Chinese feast, I turned to The Woks of Life, a delightful Chinese cooking blog that I can’t open without being inspired to cook like 9 million things.

When I started this project, I originally was only going to cook one dish from each country. I figured I’d go easy on myself for China, and make 花生酥 (hua sheng su), a traditional sesame peanut brittle.

It’s something I’ve made before - I make little bags of it for my colleagues each lunar new year.

I don’t follow the Woks of Life recipe exactly - for example, I’ve never once roasted and shelled my own peanuts. I tend to use a mix of blanched and pre-roasted peanuts in my 花生酥, and I think it comes out okay. Next time I’m going to increase the amount of sugar I use - I find that 270g of rock sugar is not quite enough to cover the peanuts totally. Which is a pain. Next time I think I’ll use 300g, and turn the heating on in my kitchen so it’s warmer, to stop the brittle from hardening before I can properly get it into the tray to cool.

But then I changed my mind, and decided to throw a full on feast.

For the feast I threw, I made two more dishes from the Woks of Life - Easy Peking Duck with Mandarin Pancakes, and 年糕 (nian gao), or stir-fried rice cakes (though I did them with chicken, not pork, as that’s what I had in my freezer). I also cooked up some spring rolls, as I had them leftover in my freezer from my housewarming (for which I over catered, because I cannot do anything but over cater any event I throw). I should have marinated the duck longer. That one was on me.

I also made some 核桃酥 (he tao su), walnut cookies, which were delicious and I definitely want to make again. I think I’ll add some hazelnuts in as well for additional crunch, and make them slightly smaller - they were 12 very big cookies.

But delicious cookies.

Kisu was most distressed that we did not feed her anything from this feast.

The Playlist

I ended up finding this “Chinese Indie & Rock” playlist on Spotify, which I really enjoyed. I could understand none of the songs, but I enjoyed the heck out of a lot of them. I’ll probably keep listening to this playlist - they were definitely my sort of jams.

A tortured soul

in this short story i decided to wright  form the mind of Kenshin and how perhaps at night his mind would work before he met the NC. this is somewhat  angsty, and 100% how i see his yandere mind working. wan alone with this thoughts of his lost first love and how it might have a effect on him to this day.

His people revered him, believed him to be the living embodiment of the god of war Bishamonten. While other still feared him often calling him a woman hater., A warmonger and the deadly dragon of Ichigo. Oh if they only knew the truth that drove him and his bloodlust on the fields of battle. Then perhaps they would understand why he lusted for his own death, for his life to come to a bitter end so he could finally have true inner peace. Perhaps then they would understand why he had chosen to cut the fair sex out from his life.   Kenshin clutched at his chest while he lay abed with his thought. He wanted to rip this crusade heart of his from his chest, just so he would not have to relive that nightmare, of love and loss But yet still he longed to feel warm loving arms hold him at night. To fell ever inch and curve of a womanly body writhing with lustful passion under him. To her a woman's soft cries of blissful delight as he ravished her with all that he was and could be.   If he were honest with himself he craved it with all his being. But yet he still denied himself of that which he wanted most. Kenshin closed his eyes against these wretched thoughts filling his mind. ”augh” he uttered as he swatted the air in front of his face. Why oh why did it have to be this way. Every damn night was the same and tonight was no different. No sooner had he closed his eyes did her face drifted in to view. First, as he remembered her when she was young and vibrant. Oh by the gods he had loved her then with all that he was and even now he felt the same. But that face twisted and aged to what she would have looked like now. Oh .., she had only grown in her beauty from her youth to the woman she would have been today. Her body now well-formed and shapely. Her every curve limed in the outline of her kimonos folds and the drape of the lush fabric. Her waist and full ample breasts only accentuated by here lovely obi sash. Once more Kenshin clutched at his chest. His heart aching from his cursed mined and it’s train of thought. oh by the gods and the 9 hells.  WHY!  why did he torture himself this way every damn night with these images of the young love he lost. All too soon a single tear shed from his emerald eye, then another joined it from his eye of sapphire. worm and salty his twin tears rolled down his elegantly sculpted cheeks to pool on his delicately chiseled chin. Soon the pooling tears dripped off only to brake softly with a splash on that hollow of the neck where his Adam's apple sat. With mounting frustration and self-hatred, he violently rubbed at his eyes with the back of his right hand and part of his lower arm. But it did not stop the tears from coming one after the other, burring a hot sting trail as they fell unwontedly. All he wanted was to die at that moment. How he so wished to be on the field of battle right now sword in hand a worthy enemy across from him. By the gods he wanted to die so this would all come to an end. Death was better than this hell he was living. It was better than thinking of her, Of think of what might have been, the children they would have had by now.   In tortured agony, he flung the cover off before springing to his feet. He was seething with anger and self-loathing as he padded across the floor his every step sing of this He barely held himself rigid to keep the shaking at bay he was that upset with himself. One eye of forest green and one of ocean blue where a light with his self-hatred and anger. Smothering with this sheathing fire his eyes flitted over the dark room of the inn. They first fell to his bed the covers a rumpled mass and he uttered a curse to himself. Next, his eyes of blue green fire came to rest on the low table and a single cup and a sake jug that sat on it. With favored hast Kenshin moved to the low table and sat before it. one hand reaching for the cup the other for the jug.he used his teeth to pull the cork from the jug. The popping sound like a  Siren's song started to soothe his pained and troubled mind. Soon enough he was downing one cup after the other. In the in vain hope, it would take all these unwanted thoughts and feelings from him. The clear liquid burnt as it went down. Ever cup was doing its job of numbing his senses. Yet his heart, his mind and most of all his soul were still in utter anguish. No amount of drink would end this torment he knew that, but still, he drank until The Jug was empty. Stand perhaps a bit too fast Kenshin wobbled on his feet. He could barely feel his body now even as he staggered he was back to bed. As he pulled the covers over him once more or at least tried to his eyes where hooded slits fluttered closed. Blissfully from drunk to think let alone cair. he drifted off into a dreamless sleep. No more thoughts of her filling his mind and tearing at his heart and soul. This was how even night was for Kenshin Uesugi. from the day Isme took her own life to the present.  His heart mind and soul constantly wracked with grave pain of what he thought he had lost. What he thought cursed by his own love had killed and would kill if ever he would open himself up to love the other woman.      He could never doom a woman to that cursed fate never.  So he would live in this hell night after night. Hoping that the new day would bring what he wishes for most yet it never came and this left him with this one thought. He Kenshin the god of war could only be what he truly was. A tortured soul longing to find love.

okay, my head is buzzing and i’m gonna rewatch the premiere already tomorrow for more details but initial thoughts:

data mining!! god i don’t even know where to start on this

“what is real?” / “that which is irreplaceable.” / “that’s not the whole truth, is it?” 

this is...finessed. i’m going to be thinking about this for a while 

the metaphor for the american buffalo throughout both the opening credits and in the episode is really interesting. they're often used to represent the tragedy in american western expansion and the cruelty and loss in the “way the west was won” which is obviously....relevant, this is westworld.

sidebar: my friend who i saw it with disagreed with me on this, but given the above buffalo metaphor, i wonder, when dolores said to the native american host that she killed that “the valley is not meant for everyone” (i’m paraphrasing) and then went on later in the episode to basically talk about pursuing further...well, let’s call it frontier-ism, i wonder if this was meant to be some sort of historical commentary? i mean, so much of westworld is about loops. or is this too intimate a read on a character that happened to be native american? deliberate or no?

but then we also have other worlds within the park set up, including a samurai-era japan and another which contains bengal tigers, so obviously there is an element of colonialist fantasy has been very interesting---

but again, one which i’m not sure is a set up for commentary, or just a byproduct of the writing and/or source material itself? thoughts on this? 

i instinctually feel like there must be more secret robots, just for the sake of the trope, and there was a very quick moment between bernard and Tallest Skarsgard (opposing: smallest hemsworth) wherein they accidentally said the exact same line and my big red alarm bell went right off. idk, i’m gonna be paying attention to that dude  

so we can officially assume that westworld is not, say, a terraformed planet, but seemingly a massive manmade island in the pacific ocean? 

the mesh network thing is really interesting, and explains how dolores and maeve seem to be able to control other hosts? this part is still kind of fuzzy to me, and it may be something i’m forgetting from s1 (did not have time to rewatch before the premiere) but i need a refresher and/or more information on this tech/data plot point

where the fork is not-ellen-page?? 

the scene involving the stripping down of actual-dick-joke-for-a-name (i had to confirm my recollection of his last name as sizemore) was really powerful, not just in a role reversal for the audience---how often are female actors stripped down to the front---but also in the way this writer character has done little but force female characters into specifically sexual positions, and in fact earlier laughed at the fact that maeve was wasted as a mother and did much better as a madam, but in a role he created and even wrote much of, speaking as much to him as her history in that same moment. it was a fascinating power move on multiple levels. 

him being chased and tormented by his crap writer tropes was some just deserts. i’m so curious to see where this character goes, bc right now it’s just in that sweet spot of meta skewering from the show writers and this human that is far more a caricature than the hosts

again, this is where my memory is fuzzy (to be fair, westworld s1 was like, two years ago) but wasn’t ford building something new within the park right before his death? couldn’t that have included the lake? or is this supposed to be a big mystery, where it came from?

was angela (i think her name is?) wearing a crown of thorns? i mean, westworld can be heavy handed, but is it that heavy handed?

then again, one of my favorite parts of westworld is the way they play with tropes in a way that’s so overt that it’s meta, because at it’s core it’s almost a show about writing. like when they put a “minotaur” in the “maze.” genius. subtle and obvious all at once

i’m glad we’re seeing peter abernathy again---that actor’s performance was beyond almost anyone else’s in s1, even contained within a single scene---but particularly because he was the start of this entire thing. he’s one of the older hosts, and was the first to “wake up” in the sense that he began accessing old memories, and his utterance of “these violent delights have violent ends” are what triggered dolores, who then triggered maeve. 

so the fact that he is the insurance policy is quite interesting. and given that much of s1 were the machinations of ford’s programming updates, it’s quite possible that ford was aware of the depths of the data mining and found it immoral to the point that he wished for the robots to have autonomy, but also to protect the world from the corporation? 

and thus in setting up abernathy to “wake” and trigger the events of the current timeline, it’s part of a larger plan that it’s all back to this specific host? something to think about

i have more thoughts but i’ll save them for my rewatch. send me your theories and takeaways!!! god!!! i love this show!!!!!!!!!!

Music Review

Public Rating Average: 5.1 / 10 (rated by 411 viewers)

sar•casm (sär k z m) - n. 1. A cutting, often ironic remark intended to mock or insult. 2. A form of wit that is marked by the use of hyperbole and is intended to make its victim the butt of contempt or ridicule. E39 bmw rear suspension.

2003 is shaping up to become one of the greatest years the Indian film industry has ever seen. Release after release this year has raised the quality bar in Bollywood to dizzying heights. Certainly it’s hard to imagine films better than recent contemporary classics such as “Chura Liya Hai Tumne” or “Love At Times Square,” but audiences are in for a pleasant surprise with Anandi Art Creations’ latest offering. Aptly titled “Yeh Dil,” the film stars a stalwart Tusshar Kapoor opposite a sensational Natasha (who was recently seen in the who-done-it

'Kucch To Hai') in one of the most inventive and well-written love stories ever committed to celluloid.

Yeh Dil’s storyline deserves plaudits for attempting a theme that has seldom been seen before in Bollywood films. The originality and inspiration behind the situations and characters in the film are simply superb. Ravi (Tusshar Kapoor) is a rich sportsman at his college, where Vasundhara (Natasha) is a poor but studious girl. The two are diametric opposites in terms of personality, but realize that they are soul-mates and decide they must get married.

In a completely unexpected twist, however, Ravi’s multi-millionaire father and Vasundhara’s milkmaid father do not think the two should get married. Accordingly, they hatch intricate plots to make sure the lovers cannot unite. The suspense filled, breathtaking, and heart-wrenching drama that ensues determines whether or not Ravi and Natasha’s true love can overcome the opposition of their family members.

The plot’s innovativeness never lets up. The parents, looking out for the well-being of their children, don´t hesitate to go to any lengths to make sure their children never unite. The parents have a dark, violent, and unpredictable nature that has never been explored before in Indian films; they even try tactics like kidnapping their own children and forcing them to marry other people. The hard-hitting, Scorsese-esque violence towards the end of the film merits a special mention as-well - it really enhances the intensity of this already gripping romantic drama.

Of course in a film featuring leads in the caliber of Tusshar Kapoor and Natasha, performances are bound to be top-notch. Tusshar Kapoor delivers on the immense promise he has shown in earlier films, and delivers a carefully calculated and nuanced performance one would ordinarily expect only from a veteran actor. The manner in which he overreacts almost identically to love, hate, and violence really helps to create a sense of consistency and permanence that is simply not present in the work of Kapoor’s contemporaries like Vivek Oberoi. While Sonu Nigam in “Kash Aap Hamare Hote,” still ranks as the most emotional performance by a younger star this year, Tusshar Kapoor comes dangerously close to dethroning Mr. Nigam with his tour de force work in this film.

Natasha complements Tusshar on every level. The chemistry and comfort the lead couple share on screen in as delightful to watch in this film as it was earlier in the thriller “Kucch To Hai.” Natasha is not quite as dramatic as Tusshar, but her restraint is excusable. The character artists who enact the roles of family members are not short of award-worthy.

Yeh Dil 2003 Full Movie Download

The drama and suspense is handled masterfully by director Teja. Not since Hitchcock has someone married intense romance and thrilling suspense with so much success. The editing is likewise excellent. The background music and the soundtrack by Nadeem-Shravan is cutting-edge. It marries the modern feel of a 80´s synthesizer with classic Indian beats to create music that strikes the rare perfect balance between experimentation and appeal. Cinematography is on an international standard. The dance numbers – ravishing cinematic spectacles, all of them - are flawlessly choreographed and brought to life by the unbelievable skill and dexterity of the leads. Even recent Hollywood benchmarks in the musical genre pale in comparison.

Yeh Dil (2003)

“Yeh Dil” is an incredible cinematic journey. Part allegory on class-warfare, part intense love story, there are few more meaningful or more entertaining ways to spend three hours. True, sometimes the director strays so far from Bollywood convention it seems disorienting, but this complete disregard for convention only improves the film in the long run. A 'must see' in every sense of the phrase.
