Thanks to the untiring effort of our English teachers in promoting writing, Oasis has become a culture in Pui Ching. Many students have developed the readiness to write. They are willing to write and they take pride in sharing their work with others. Some have taken contribution to Oasis as an important annual event. As the principal of Pui Ching, there is nothing happier and more encouraging than to see students love writing and to see life and creativity in their work. Time passes and the year goes. When a student no longer walks up and down the steps, what refreshes his youthful reminiscence may be the inspiration that has been planted in this student classic. Students, why hesitate? Open your minds to the world around you, be aware, read, be inspired and write. Tam Yat Yuk Principal 7 January 2016 tŽƌĚƐĨƌŽŵƚŚĞĚŝƚŽƌƐ Subsequent to the previous revised publication of 2DVLV, there comes the heartwarming applause from various sides. With the precious experience and generous comments, we are now very honored to present to the readers yet another issue of this continual series, with a compilation of our students’ creative expression of their perception towards life. 2DVLV is a collection of essays, which are primarily the creative work of our students who, through constant practice of reading and writing as well as shrewd observations of their immediate world, pour out their hearts in the form of short stories, novella, letters, diaries and articles. We understand that such precious perception and spontaneity towards life should never be allowed to be laid waste and it is our very aspiration to cultivate creativity in young leaders even at their early age. Sharing of insights, nourishing of the writing culture and an appreciation of literary writing can inspire introspection and unleash the beauty of human minds, thus rekindling our passion for living. Linguistically speaking, it is indeed also our intention to help our students to master the language to express themselves more than adequately. We are so blessed that teachers and students are so supportive in conceiving as well as giving birth to this publication, despite all the sweat and blood through the travails. In taking greater pains to bring forth this issue into existence, we very much hope that when you are reading through the pages, savouring a line or two, may you envisage the oasis of freshness on the parched land of modern hectic life.

  • For Immediate Release
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CHINATOWN NEW YORK CITY IS THE MAIN COURSE FOR DIVERSE ASIAN DINING More Than 10 Original Asian Cuisines Make Chinatown a Food Lover’s Heaven NEW YORK, NY - In Chinatown, deciding what kind of Asian cuisine to eat might take you longer than actually eating . Not that window-browsing past dozens of tempting restaurants, all located within blocks of each other, is so unpleasant a way to work up an appetite. Cantonese, Shanghainese, Szechuan…. and those are just the Chinese cuisines! Thai, Korean, Japanese, Indonesian, and others round out a list of fares representing a gastronomic dream for lovers of Asian food. More than 10 distinct Asian fares grace Chinatown’s bustling streets. The plethora of cuisines reflects the myriad of regions from which people have migrated to Chinatown, a neighborhood that has been steadily growing for some 150 years. Another great aspect of dining in Chinatown is the value. Most menus are as inexpensive as they are diverse, perfect for an impromptu, casual dinner for two, for four or for the whole family, leaving diners as pleased with the check as they were with the food. Following is a sampling of various cuisines that can be found in Chinatown, including examples of restaurants serving that particular cuisine. • Cantonese: Cantonese cuisine is the one most familiar to most Westerners. Cantonese cooking is known for its fresh and simple approach to a diverse array of food, including seafood, chicken, beef and vegetable dishes. Steaming is used more often than frying to prepare food, with vegetables cooked in the shortest time in order to retain the natural crispness and flavor.

  • Displeasure, Star-Chasing and the Transcultural Networking Fandom
    . Volume 10, Issue 2 November 2013 Displeasure, star-chasing and the transcultural networking fandom Egret Lulu Zhou The Chinese University, Hong Kong Abstract: Pleasure and its politics have been overemphasised in audience studies for many years. To delineate a more well-balanced picture of everyday-life consumption practices by fans, this paper aims to directly study the experiences of displeasure using a case study of star- chasing fans of Hong Kong television stars in Mainland China. In this paper, displeasure is defined and analysed culturally rather than psychoanalytically. Seven years of auto- ethnographic experience and seventeen in-depth interviews are the sources used in this qualitative study. Drawing on Castells’ ‘network society’ thesis, displeasure is identified by mapping out the power relations within transcultural fan communities, in which the traditional industry/fan dichotomy is replaced by multiple social players. Displeasure occurs in tandem with pleasure; thus, the fan identities in this case are constantly negotiated, reshaped and even discarded. Keywords: displeasure, star-chasing, networking, transcultural. Introduction Popular culture studies appear to be inextricably intertwined with the politics of pleasure. This type of research can be roughly categorised into two traditions. The first is ‘Pleasure is bad; it makes people passive and dull’. Cultural scholars who subscribed to this belief looked down on mass culture and often treated audiences as ‘cultural dopes’ because they indulge in the consumption of pleasure; most of the Frankfurt School theorists are exemplars of this tradition. The spectatorship studies of the British Screen journal also generally degraded popular pleasure. For instance, Mulvey (1975) proposed the ‘destruction of pleasure as a radical weapon’ in criticising mainstream Hollywood narrative movies.
