classicBicycle Thieves: a worker, dependent on his
bike for his job, has it stolen and doggedly sets
out to get it back. But pretty soon Wang
Xiaoshuai's film mutates into something more
elemental: a battle of wills between peasant lad
Guei, original owner of the bike, and Jian, a
surly urban schoolkid who claims to have bought it
second-hand. For both the bike is status: for Guei
it secures him his job as a courier, while for
Jian it lets him keep up with his peers and chat
up the girl he fancies. Each sees himself as the
rightful owner and neither will give way, so the
bike swaps hands back and forth, stolen and
re-stolen, as the duel waxes increasingly
personal.There's a diverting subplot about a
beautiful, stylishly dressed girl glimpsed by Guei
who turns out be something other than she seems,
but essentially the battle over the bike is the
meat of the film. The fascination ofBeijing
Bicycle--perhaps especially for non-Chinese
viewers--is its portrait of present-day Beijing as
a buzzing, high-pressure, neo-capitalist boomtown,
impersonal and seemingly as lawless as any Wild
West frontier burg. At no point, in all the thefts
and counter-thefts and mounting violence, does
anyone think to call the police--everyone is left
to fight his own battles. Wang, one can't help
suspecting, is slipping in a hint of social
criticism in this vision of an uncaring society
where possessions are all that matter.On the
DVD:Beijing Bicycleon disc has the original
theatrical trailer (the French version, oddly
enough), filmographies for the director and four
of his lead actors, notes on the film by Nick
Bradshaw and trailers for other Metro Tartan
foreign-language DVD releases. The transfer's in
the full anamorphic widescreen of the original,
with good Dolby Digital sound. --Philip Kemp

Hutongs of Beijing

Advantages: Beautiful buildings and a look at life for many ordinary citizens of Beijing
Disadvantages: Can be busy and cramped

A hutong is an ancient alleyway or lane found in Beijing which can date back as far as the Yuan dynasty of China in the 13th century. The crisscrossing alleys can now offer a glimpse of another part of this ancient city that is quite different to the major attractions such as the Summer Palace or the Forbidden City. The tiny, twisted and interconnected lanes wind through whole areas of the city of Beijing. The lanes are lined with traditional stone houses all arranged in quadrangles, so four houses around a courtyard, which are beautiful old fashioned buildings. They often involve carved pillars, window frames and doors and the open spaces of the courtyard lets in air and light to otherwise quite cramped areas-some of the lanes really are tiny with less than a metre of breadth. Most of the hutongs are still used as housing and are ...

Review of Hutongs, Beijing

A Beijing Bolthole

Advantages: Cheap, with helpful staff
Disadvantages: pricy food (compared to outside of hostel),

I am back again, writing from the East! I write this while still at the hostel, while I wait for a train to Shanghai this evening. We checked out before 12 so effectively my experience of the place is complete. They are storing our bags and allowing us to use the communal facilities as we wait. We booked our holiday to China in November, planning to go to Chengdu to visit a school friend of mine. She told us she would scope out the local hostels for us and that there was a chance we could stay in her friends flat instead. Then the earthquake hit Sichuan, and our holiday looked like it was going to be cancelled. We decided to change our destination to Beijing instead, and my friend came to join us. She recommended the hostel that she had stayed in on her last visit and it looked nice enough online, so she booked it for us a couple ...

Review of Red Lantern House, Beijing

GT Aggressor XC2. What a Bike for the Money

Advantages: Strong Frame and Wheels, Tyres do not let go
Disadvantages: None really!!

Bought this bike with my work cycle to work scheme. A great buy from Halfords. Excellent speck for the price and a very strong bike. I'm 18st 10 (253 ibs) and in my opinion this bike can handle this weight easily. Great colour Black with like a Pearlesent White, Very good speck components, Shimano Deore derauillers and Sram Truvatic Crank. Hydrolic Brakes and Discs. These will stop you instantly and do tare a little time to get used to or a flight over the bars could come along. These sqeak when covered in Muck and Water for the first few occasions, but when used this disapates. Wheels are Alex DP17 rims, Strong, Maxxis Ingnitor Tyres Grip like hell. Suntour XCR forks are ok for Cross Country riding, Not a great Jump fork, but hey Im no Jumper! (I think that if yoiu are lighter than me you could have some safe landings with these ...
