The number of hours it takes to travel from Shanghai to Xi’an by train. Previously you would either have had to fly or get on an 11-hour train ride to visit Xi’an’s Terracotta warriors. Now, thanks to the new and improved Zhengxu High-Speed Railway, it will take only six hours. Adding to this fast track addition, the Shanghai 6 Railway Bureau says it will introduce a new route map to improve service, as well as adding 47 new trains to the fleet. Other high-speed railway services will also be added between Shanghai and Taiyuan (Shanxi Province) and Shanghai and Shijiazhuang (Hebei Province), and neighboring cities in Zhejiang Province. The railway will be the first of its kind to connect the Yangtze River Delta with northwest China, truly elevating the platform to the next level.

Lila is entering Grade 4 this year and is the best Mandarin speaker in the village

S hanghai-based American photographer Benjamin Newbry often travels to remote areas of China by motorcycle to find interesting subjects for his work. One particular village occupied by a Tibetan family in northwest Sichuan has captivated him for the past six years. It all started when Newbry first visited the area in 2010 on one of these motorcycle journeys. During a small detour on his way to the city of Dege (along the border with Tibet), he encountered members of the family, who invited him into their home for tea. “I was hooked,” says Newbry of that seren- dipitous meeting. “I came back [over and over again in subsequent years], staying longer and talking more with the family and the small village of 17 houses each time.” More of the family and the village’s backstories were revealed to Newbry on each visit. Meanwhile, fascinating changes to the infrastructure of the community and the people add a colorful touch to his series of candid shots of the simple daily lives of the villagers.

“They’ve gone from no reliable electricity to having solar panels feeding a battery in every house; from no cell phone reception to having ubiquitous iPhones [over the years]. The 5-year-old girl who spoke no Mandarin when we first met has grown into a whip-smart 11-year-old who won an award for having the best Mandarin skills in the region,” Newbry explains. For his next trip, he hopes to play with the juxtaposition of the foreign romanti- cized notions about Tibetan life with the reality. “I’d like to showcase a staged por- somethingtrait of the membersin their everyday of the family routine." in tra - ditional garb, next to a shot of them doing to see more of benjamin newbry’s work, visit www. cassiusproductions.com.

Since leaving Oklahoma City Thunder to join Houston, shooting guard James Harden has established himself as one of the NBA’s premier scorers. Two seasons ago, he finished second in MVP vot- ing behind Steph Curry, while leading the Rockets to a surprising Conference Finals appearance.

O LeBron (the tag also resulted from his unholy combination of size, shooting, court vision and ball handles). At just 23 years old, the former point guard already finds himself on the road to redemption. Drafted first overall in 2012, having lead Kentucky to an NCAA Championship, Davis has made three All-Star teams and was the youngest player in league history to score 59 points in a game. After leading the New Orleans Hornets (as the Pelicans were formally known) to the playoffs two seasons ago, many predicted that Davis would contend for the league’s MVP. What actually happened was an injury-plagued season with his stat line of 24.3 points, 10.3 rebounds and two block shots per game somehow deemed a bust. Following a disappoint- ing 30-52 season, the Pelican have undergone a makeover. They released oft-injured veterans Ryan Anderson and Eric Gordon (to the Rockets, in- cidentally), while signing grittier talents like Solomon Hill and Lance Stephenson.

The Toughest Mudder Will Dean’s Insane Obstacle Course

While neutral tones domi- nate the apartment, Bilal incorporates dashes of bright colors around the room in the forms of fresh fruits, plants, rugs and books, to give it some life.

Seen here with her cat Bakerloo, Bilal takes pride in the greenery installed on the balcony – one of her favorite places in the house. It also takes her back to the times when she first met her husband in the UK, where the couple would always go on dates in gardens and parks.

Two Chinese-style calligraphy pieces in Arabic by Hui artist Mi Guangjiang (AKA Haji Noor Deen) are displayed prominently in the dining room. One is a blessing to the couple, and the other is a passage from the Quran that translates to: “O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted.”

Upon entering the apartment, guests receive a warm welcome from a painting by Bilal.

When she’s at home, Bilal spends a lot of time in the study, which is blessed with plenty of natural light during the day. She enjoys doing most of her writing here, and describes herself as a ‘ferocious reader,’ consuming around four books per month on average.

Continuing with the clean aesthetic, the master bedroom is simply deco- rated with plants and Bilal’s photographs taken during her travels. The daybed by the window also makes for a cozy place to read on a lazy afternoon.

The Dreamer Classic Stories with a Gecko Touch

To mark the 400th Anniversary of two renowned literary masters’ deaths – Shakespeare and Chinese legend Tang Xianzu – the award-winning British physical theatre company Gecko has teamed up with Shanghai Dramatic Art Centre to present the experimental play, The Dreamer, which combines both artists’ classic works. Director Rich Rusk from Gecko is obviously thrilled about what’s about to happen this month.

We’ll have many things happening simultaneously to have the audience fully focused and en gaged,” Rusk explains. Fortunately, Gecko is known for its wild imagination and witty performances. With eight years of experience - working at the company, Rusk has been involved in almost all of their major productions. While he’s delighted to ap ply all experiences into this new project and presenting it in a city he loves, he admits he has some worries. “The creation process was less exhausting, but to find

China’s Bitcoin Revolution

words by Noelle Mateer graphics by Holly Li additional reporting by Emma Huang and Xinyu Li

hen Eric Mu says that the village of Moyu in western Sichuan is remote, he means it. Culturally more Tibetan than Han, the tiny settlement sits in a valley among soaring mountains and deep gorges. The village is only connected to neighboring com- Wmunities by a rickety suspension bridge, which wobbles above river rapids below. Mu crossed it once. He’ll never cross it again. It was terrifying, he says. Life in Moyu is slow. When Mu is there, he runs – passing along winding roads and through tunnels that pierce the mountains, some as long as 3 kilometers. His coworkers entertain themselves with mahjong and smartphones. Some of the villagers grow corn. Industry in Moyu has also been slow. A hydropower plant was built years ago near the waterfalls that crash down from the steppe. The plant’s engineers had hoped to sell their hydropower to the national grid, but demand wasn’t as high as they’d projected. The plant made barely enough

So when Mu’s employer, HaoBTC, pitched the idea of building a bitcoin ‘mine’ that would run on the town’s ultra-cheap hydroelectric power, local reception was positive. It didn’t matter that the managers at the plant had no clue what bitcoin was. It was bringing money, and it was bringing "People keep buying more jobs.

According to the World Cancer Research Fund International, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women around the world, making up about 25 percent of all female cancer cases. Nearly 1.7 million women were diagnosed with breast cancer in 2012 worldwide, with 53 percent of cases found in developing countries. Although breast cancer awareness may be more prevalent in the West, China is no exception to being affected by this deadly disease. While you may regularly see pink ribbons proudly displayed on women’s bags and shirts back home at one of the many fundraising events for breast cancer research, it is less common here in Shanghai and Asia at large. However, as more awareness is being raised among Chinese people, organizations are beginning to pop up to help the community cope with

While families and friends can give support, no one really knows what having breast cancer is like until they’ve experienced it, and that is the purpose of the 'thriver groups.' “We replaced the word ‘survivor’ with ‘thriver’ because we are more of a proactive group to wellness as opposed to a reactive group,” she says.

www.thatsmags.com | october 2016 | 67 We can’t lie – delicious food is one of the main reasons we get out of bed every morning. But just once a year we get the opportunity to eat for a good cause and help others in need. It can only be Chi Fan For Charity (CFFC), AKA Asia’s most delicious philanthropic event.

Taking place in Beijing, Hong Kong, and Shanghai for one night only (November 12), top restaurants across the city dedicate one table for 10 to the CFFC cause and put on a one-of-a-kind multi-course menu, which can be bought by any group of people. Afterwards, a legendary after party with free-flow drinks takes the celebrations long into the night.

This year’s line up is nothing short of stellar, including some of our favorite chefs and restaurants, from high-end classics and veteran chefs to up-and-coming movers and shakers. Here’s an exclusive sneak peak into 10 of CFFC’s most show-stopping dishes. Eating for a Cause Our Sneak Peak into 10 Chi Fan For Charity Restaurants

On56 Mixed Grill Platter with Lobster, Rotisserie Chicken, Sausage, Dalian Snow Dragon Beef Once again under the watchful eye of progressive Swiss-Canadian Executive Chef Rolf Knecht, On56 is putting on a classic steakhouse grill menu for CFFC diners. The self-professed “tree-hugger” chef is a stickler for sustainability, and puts premium traceable ingredients in his dishes. “For me, this showcases what On56 does best: grilling and roasting. This is one of the purest ways of cooking – if you have inferior ingredients, there is nowhere to hide. We pride ourselves on the quality and traceabil- ity of our materials, using New Zealand lamb, chicken from Chongming Island and Snow Dragon beef from Dalian. My ultimate goal is to source everything on our menu from the very best sustainable and natural farms in China, and change people’s perception that locally grown ingredients are lesser than imported ones.”

www.thatsmags.com | october 2016 | 95 city scenes CITY SCENES Speed Queen Opens Flagship Store in Shanghai By Jonty Dixon Founded in 1908, US laundry service expert Speed Queen opened its brand new flagship store on the third floor of Carrefour in Shanghai’s Xujing area on September 9, marking an important milestone for the company’s new stage of expansion in China. Since end of 2014, Speed Queen has already established 20 locations in Shanghai and it plans to bring its self-service laundry services across the country. Rick Pyle, President of Alliance Laundry Systems – the parent company of Speed Queen – says that this new style of doing laundry is cheaper and takes less time than traditional laundry services, while still emphasizing on quality, hygiene, safety and eco-friendliness. Using state-of-the-art machines at its outlets, Speed Queen hopes that the cost effectiveness will provide an edge over its local competition in a country where only seven percent of the population have their own washing machine at home. Wet-cleaning expert Arnaud Guerin showed us around the new store and demonstrated a few techniques that the on-site laundry consultants will be providing to customers, including advice on fabric care and the ideal wasting process for various materials, and spot cleaning services for those hard-to-remove stains. With over a century of experience in the industry, Speed Queen’s aiming to open 2,000 outlets in China over the next decade, and the new flagship store is paving the way for this ambitious expansion plan.
