Catching a falling baby
Have a nice weekend links. Speaking of weekend... on Sunday, in an event that will probably be cancelled (shh, don't tell anyone), professors Yan Hongbiao and Ding Dong will talk about "ordinary Chinese people's views of the Cultural Revolution" from 3 to 5 pm at the Crossroads Centre (18 Da Shiqiao Hutong, Jiu Gulou Dajie; directions and contact info here). 40 rmb (30 rmb for students). The talk will be in Chinese, if it happens.
