    CHINA DAILY | HONG KONG EDITION Friday, July 17, 2020 | 17 LIFE SHANGHAI Shanghai festival livelier than ever By HE QI [email protected] Unlike previous editions, this year’s Shanghai Wine & Spirits Fes- tival does not have a confirmed end date. Rather, apart from the main event that kicked off on June 6, the festival will also comprise multiple sub- events that are scheduled to take place throughout the year. “The biggest difference of this year’s festival is that there are differ- ent topics and sub-events. We want this year’s event to be ‘never-end- ing’,” says Xu Qin, director of the Hongkou district commission of commerce, one of the main organiz- ers of the event. “This festival is no longer just a wine activity for distributors and agents to interact. We want to share the wine and spirits culture with more people so that they will have a greater understanding of these products.” Organized by the Shanghai Iconic tourist hotspot Municipal Commission of Com- merce and the government of Hong- kou district, the festival has attracted hundreds of enterprises from more than 50 countries since its launch in 2004. Besides featuring famous liquor given an injection of youth brands such as Wuliangye, Changyu and Cavesmaitre, the festival this year also invited a host of bartend- ers to prepare cocktails for guests.

It has been exploring new modes of international exchange and has been actively engaging in a variety of international culture exchanges on different levels in broad fields. On behalf of the entire staff of the SICA, I hereby would like to extend our sincere gratitude for the concern and support offered by various levels of government departments, Council members of the SICA, partner agencies and cultural institutions, people from all circles of life, and friends from both home and abroad.

  • Shanghai, China Overview Introduction

    Shanghai, China Overview Introduction

    Shanghai, China Overview Introduction The name Shanghai still conjures images of romance, mystery and adventure, but for decades it was an austere backwater. After the success of Mao Zedong's communist revolution in 1949, the authorities clamped down hard on Shanghai, castigating China's second city for its prewar status as a playground of gangsters and colonial adventurers. And so it was. In its heyday, the 1920s and '30s, cosmopolitan Shanghai was a dynamic melting pot for people, ideas and money from all over the planet. Business boomed, fortunes were made, and everything seemed possible. It was a time of breakneck industrial progress, swaggering confidence and smoky jazz venues. Thanks to economic reforms implemented in the 1980s by Deng Xiaoping, Shanghai's commercial potential has reemerged and is flourishing again. Stand today on the historic Bund and look across the Huangpu River. The soaring 1,614-ft/492-m Shanghai World Financial Center tower looms over the ambitious skyline of the Pudong financial district. Alongside it are other key landmarks: the glittering, 88- story Jinmao Building; the rocket-shaped Oriental Pearl TV Tower; and the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The 128-story Shanghai Tower is the tallest building in China (and, after the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the second-tallest in the world). Glass-and-steel skyscrapers reach for the clouds, Mercedes sedans cruise the neon-lit streets, luxury- brand boutiques stock all the stylish trappings available in New York, and the restaurant, bar and clubbing scene pulsates with an energy all its own. Perhaps more than any other city in Asia, Shanghai has the confidence and sheer determination to forge a glittering future as one of the world's most important commercial centers.

It was first founded in 1879 under the name of ‘Shanghai Public Band’ and was later, in 1907, developed into an orchestra with 33 members under the baton of German conductor Rudolf Buck. Since Mario Paci—an Italian pianist—became its conductor in 1919, the Orchestra developed swiftly and was crowned ‘the best in the Far East’ 远东第一 by a Japanese musician Tanabe Hisao 田边尚雄 in 1923. At that time, Shanghai was semi-colonized by the International Settlement and the French Concession controlled by the Shanghai Municipal Council and the French Council respectively. They were both exempt from local Chinese authority. The Orchestra was an affiliated organization of the former: the Shanghai Municipal Council. When the Chinese Communist Party took over mainland China in 1949, the Orchestra underwent dramatic transformations. It was applied as a political propaganda tool performing music by composers from the socialist camp and adapting folk Chinese songs to Western classical instruments in order to serve the masses.

Founder, choreographer, and artistic director Lily Cai sat down to tell us a little about her company, how she helps her dancers find their Chi, and what it was like to perform for 16000 Deadheads. You started out as a dancer with the Shanghai Opera House. Can you tell me about that? Shanghai Opera House had two different departments—dance and opera—and over 1000 employees. It was a big company, fully funded by the government. In the early 1950s Russia and China had a very close relationship. Russia sent a lot of artists to set up systems for China because Mao had taken over everything in 1948, so it was run by Russians. In the dance department we did Chinese classical—different dances from over 5000 years of Chinese history—then we had folk-ethnic dance as well, with over 56 different ethnic groups. We also had to learn foreign styles of dance. And we also did ballet. The opera department sang Western style operas. That's why the Shanghai Opera House was such a big house. It was just like a school system in that sometimes we spent years learning something we never used.
