Since ancient times, Roman and Greeks linked the star with the hottest days of the year. They even coined an expression—‘dog days’—to indicate that span of Sirius rises late in the dark, liquid sky time in the summer of the northern hemisphere On summer nights, star of stars, when Sirius rose in conjunction with the sun. Orion’s Dog they call it, brightest Those were inauspicious days, characterised Of all, but an evil portent, bringing heat by heat, spells of dryness, thunderstorms, and And fevers to suffering humanity a sudden loss of energy and industriousness, if not outright madness. Curiously, it was in the Homer, The Iliad middle of the long, hot, and feverish dog days of the summer of 2018 that some workers at Shenzhen Jasic Technology took their chances ccording to the Chinese zodiac, and attempted to form an independent union to 2018 was the year of the ‘earthly challenge their employer. This brave action did Adog’. Legends about dogs abound not take long to provoke a coordinated response in Chinese mythology, but the most famous from the company and the local government, one undoubtedly is that of the ‘heavenly dog’ with the workers quickly being terminated, (tiangou). As the story goes, after divine archer beaten, and detained.

QI WANG ABSTRACT: This article studies post-2000 Chinese feminist activism from a generational perspective. It operationalises three notions of gene- ration—generation as an age cohort, generation as a historical cohort, and “political generation”—to shed light on the question of generation and generational change in post-socialist Chinese feminism. The study shows how the younger generation of women have come to the forefront of feminist protest in China and how the historical conditions they live in have shaped their feminist outlook. In parallel, it examines how a “po- litical generation” emerges when feminists of different ages are drawn together by a shared political awakening and collaborate across age. KEYWORDS:

  • 28. Rights Defense and New Citizen's Movement
    JOBNAME: EE10 Biddulph PAGE: 1 SESS: 3 OUTPUT: Fri May 10 14:09:18 2019 28. Rights defense and new citizen’s movement Teng Biao 28.1 THE RISE OF THE RIGHTS DEFENSE MOVEMENT The ‘Rights Defense Movement’ (weiquan yundong) emerged in the early 2000s as a new focus of the Chinese democracy movement, succeeding the Xidan Democracy Wall movement of the late 1970s and the Tiananmen Democracy movement of 1989. It is a social movement ‘involving all social strata throughout the country and covering every aspect of human rights’ (Feng Chongyi 2009, p. 151), one in which Chinese citizens assert their constitutional and legal rights through lawful means and within the legal framework of the country. As Benney (2013, p. 12) notes, the term ‘weiquan’is used by different people to refer to different things in different contexts. Although Chinese rights defense lawyers have played a key role in defining and providing leadership to this emerging weiquan movement (Carnes 2006; Pils 2016), numerous non-lawyer activists and organizations are also involved in it. The discourse and activities of ‘rights defense’ (weiquan) originated in the 1990s, when some citizens began using the law to defend consumer rights. The 1990s also saw the early development of rural anti-tax movements, labor rights campaigns, women’s rights campaigns and an environmental movement. However, in a narrow sense as well as from a historical perspective, the term weiquan movement only refers to the rights campaigns that emerged after the Sun Zhigang incident in 2003 (Zhu Han 2016, pp. 55, 60). The Sun Zhigang incident not only marks the beginning of the rights defense movement; it also can be seen as one of its few successes.

  • For Discussion on 28 October 2008 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL PANEL
    For discussion on 28 October 2008 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL PANEL ON DEVELOPMENT Development of Liantang/Heung Yuen Wai Boundary Control Point PURPOSE This paper briefs Members on the development of Liantang/Heung Yuen Wai boundary control point (LT/HYW BCP). BACKGROUND 2. On 27 May 2008, we briefed Members on the work of Hong Kong-Shenzhen (HK-SZ) Joint Task Force on Boundary District Development (港深邊界區發展聯合專責小組) (the JTF). Members were informed of the progress of two related planning studies on the proposed BCP at LT/HYW: the “SZ-HK Joint Preliminary Planning Study on Developing LT/HYW BCP” and the internal “Planning Study on LT/HYW BCP and Its Associated Connecting Roads in HK”. 3. Both studies were completed in June 2008. The HK Special Administrative Region Government (HKSARG) and the SZ Municipal People’s Government jointly announced the implementation of the new BCP after the second meeting of the JTF on 18 September 2008. Both sides will proceed with their detailed planning and design work with an aim to commence operation of the new BCP in 2018. A Working Group on Implementation of LT/HYW BCP (蓮塘/香園圍口岸工程實施工作小組) has been set up under the JTF to co-ordinate works of both sides. A LegCo brief summarizing the findings of the studies and scope of the new BCP development was issued on the announcement day (Appendix 1). 4. On the HK side, the development of LT/HYW BCP comprises the construction of a BCP with a footprint of about 18 hectares (including an integrated passenger clearance hall), a dual 2-lane trunk road of about 10 km in length, and improvement works to SZ River of about 4 km in length.
