THE by Beyond Mandarin WORD Hello Everybody! Considering that our foreign friends who live in Ningbo may encounter problems while learning Chinese. Beyond Mandarin Chinese Training & Culture Experience Center would like to take this opportunity to interview some students who are studying in our school to share their learning and life experience in Ningbo. We hope this column can help you in some aspects. Last but not least, we look forward to you have the same feeling after learning about Chinese traditional your suggestions. Please e-mail Nicki with any comments: culture? [email protected]. Thank you for your interest! Justin: I think if you know traditional Chinese culture, and then you think about modern China, you might change your view. For example, The following interview was originally in Chinese, and has been when you see a traffic jam, perhaps you can think of it as "Yinyang" [a translated by Beyond Mandarin. traditional conceptualization of motion, among other things]. I can understand the way most foreigners think about China, but at the For four years, Justin has been a student at Beyond Mandarin. His has a same time I have my own opinion. This is why I think if foreigners busy yet colorful life. By our estimate, he is currently balancing as many as want to know more about China, they have to learn Chinese culture. 10 commitments, including study, work, volunteer activities and his own My idea is that traditional and contemporary things can exist together. hobbies. We often call Justin a ‘China Hand’, and because his story is so Sometimes my students say that I’m old. In fact, I think that my way of rich, we’ve decided to publish it in three installments. This time, we mainly thinking is half old, half new. You know ‘harmony’: old and new things discussed his experiences of living, and he also talks about learning Chinese, can coexist harmoniously. In the next installment, He will share his experiences of working in Ningbo, including interesting places he has visited. and some stories from work. Stay Nicki: I think that many people who like traditional culture also like tuned…! collecting traditional things. I hear that you also have a collection of such things. Nicki: Hi, Justin! Today, we’re here to chat about your life these days. Justin: Ha! Yes, my apartment is a ‘museum’. Justin: Okay. Nicki: So, let’s come back to the question of studying Chinese and Nicki: I’ve heard you really know Ningbo and like Chinese culture. language. I’ve heard that you can speak several languages. How do Justin: I do really like Chinese culture. I think that language and culture are you think this can help you learn Chinese? connected. After studying Chinese, it’s much easier to understand Chinese Justin: We probably should say I’ve studied several languages but can’t people and their way of living. In fact, even before I came to China, I really speak them, since I seldom use them. I’ve studied five languages: liked reading the ‘Dao De Jing’ (the famous book of Taoism), but I could Spanish, French, German, Italian, Latin, and now Chinese. I’ll tell you only read it in English translation. Interestingly, my favorite translator something interesting. Three years ago, I flew from Shanghai to Paris. is Ningbonese, John C. H. Wu. He was also a graduate of Xiaoshi High On the plane I kept practicing my French, reviewing, reviewing, until School, very famous. He translated many traditional Chinese books into I felt I was ready. After the plane landed, I called a taxi. I spoke to the English. driver, he turned his head and just looked at me in surprise. I didn’t realize that I had spoken to him in Chinese. I was really sorry, and Nicki: Now you’ve begun to read the ‘Dao De Jing’ in Chinese? immediately started to think how to speak to him in French, and tell Justin: Yes. After I came to China, I began trying to read traditional Chinese him I was going to the hotel. I apologized, told him that I had spoken characters. My Chinese teacher, Jane, has a good understanding of those Chinese. He looked at me like ‘Why are you speaking Chinese?’ ancient texts, and has taught me quite a lot about those aspects of culture. So studying a language is certainly useful, but if you don’t use it, it So now, I have a better understanding of that way of thinking from the 'Dao becomes difficult to speak. Fortunately, my teacher is really good, and De Jing’. I feel that studying Chinese characters and culture has helped my we speak in Chinese during lessons.

Nicki: You know, many Koreans and Japanese know Chinese culture Nicki: Sometimes I have the same problem that, sometimes I have well, and many of them say "It's a pity", meaning that they dont' know the whole day classes with Japanese students if I see a Westerner, I when [traditional] culture started to change into the China of today.

Justin: I think that when studying a language you need to practice using facial muscles, this is muscle memory. If you try speaking, your muscles can remember. It’s the same when studying music. When I want to remember a word, I repeat it often. This way is boring, but it’s a good method. 万事

Nicki: Yes, I agree. Justin: I don’t like to think that I’m stupid, so when I study something, I want to practice and remember. I remember one time I took a taxi from U. of Nottingham back home. In the front seat was a Chinese man. He and the driver were talking. I could understand them and wanted to join the conversation. They were discussing something about Germany, and I suddenly said: “In fact, my hat is German.” They both looked at me strangely and asked, “Why did you say that?” I told them that recently I was studying the measuring word ‘顶’, and if I didn’t use it, I’d forget it. I often 开头 make opportunities to practice.

Nicki: For you, what’s the hardest part of learning Chinese? Justin: When you learn a word, you need to know how it sounds, how to write it, and how to use it. I often learn words but forget the pronunciation, or the characters. This is extremely difficult. Sometimes I know how to pronounce a character but not what it means. Nicki: “Everything is difficult at the beginning.” When you start to 难 learn characters, it must be quite difficult. How did you begin learning characters? Justin: This is a difficult problem at the start. I practiced writing everyday, read a lot of advertisements and books. Slowly, I was able to read more and more. But now I use the computer and type, so my writing isn’t so good.

Nicki: Now, your teacher, Jane, has become a really great friend. What do you think of her classes? Justin: She’s exceedingly patient, and I’m thankful for her. Often I’m too busy to review, and so forget many characters, still she helps me a lot.

Nicki: One last question: I’m curious, in the States you have already pursued a doctorate, so why go to Nottingham for postgraduate work? Justin: In America I already pursued a doctorate, but I didn’t actually finish the dissertation. About the reasons why I decided to go to Nottingham for postgraduate work, there are many! First, I enjoy teaching English, so I wanted to study Linguistics. I wanted to have a better understanding of research [in the field], so going to Nottingham was a good opportunity, since I don’t have to move to another country. I can just stay in Ningbo while learning and working. Also, at Nottingham I’ve gotten to know some professors. I think that education is important, and I enjoy studying new things.

Nicki: Thank you for sharing so much of your life and your stories. Next time, we’ll talk a bit about your current work. Justin: My pleasure.

Ho Chi Minh city is very different to Hanoi. There is still some greenery here, but this place is the financial capital. It is to Hanoi what Shanghai is to Beijing in that sense (though I’d hesitate to stretch the analogy much further than that…), and it is here where you will find a lot more to do in the evenings: night boat trips, bars, etc. I wasn’t in Ho Chi Minh city long, but was left with the impression of a modern cosmopolitan city which was far more advanced than the capital Hanoi (and which had about 6 times the number of motorcycles!).

Then it was back to Hanoi, and this time a side trip to Ha Long Bay. This is a very well-known and spectacular place which has to be on the agenda of every tourist going to Hanoi. Well, OK, it doesn’t, but if you’re not going to be there very often, then it kind of makes sense. It is three hours away, on roads which are varied in standard (if you’re from the UK, it’s a bit like going from Birmingham to a decent sized town somewhere in Devon, in terms of the roads) as much as they are varied in what you can see from a coach or car window. And then as you get closer, the excitement rises as you start to see Guilin style limestone kast scenery rising first from the fields and then the sea, as you get to the coast.

Ha Long Bay is a tourist resort, but it is also a thriving fishing village. It was great to get up early, see the sun rise over the water (you can stay overnight on a boat,

28 | JUNE 2015 but I didn’t) and see the fishermen (& women) go out in their boats for the day. Once that is done, you get on a boat (if you haven’t slept on the water) and start touring the amazing rocky outcrops such as that featured on the 200,000 Dong note. The caves are beautiful to visit: they are lit up inside in all sorts of colours and are as spectacular as any I have visited, so make sure that you do climb up into one of the rocks on your trip to see them. (I’d be surprised if an organissed tour didn’t have that as part of their itinerary.) The rocks themselves are, well, unlike anything I have seen anywhere else (No, I haven’t got to see Guilin or Yangshuo yet) and it is not surprising that the place captures the imagination. It was a bit overcast when I was there and I do wish to go back and overnight on a boat to get some better shots.

And that was my visit to Vietnam. I did a lot, was able to meet a lot of people and was treated to a fantastic amount of hospitality (I admit: it does help to have friends in the country). It is a country well worth visiting and is not too far from home in Ningbo. I would encourage a little more stability in your 9 days than I had in mine, but please: do enjoy the coffee. Time to go somewhere else now…

Saint Honore's Yinzhou location is a godsend for what's probably Ningbo's most densely foreign-populated area. Simply having baguettes, Paris brest and tart au citron would be enough to win the hearts and stomachs of most, but there is palpable love and care into everything that comes out of the kitchen here. On top of that the owners and management couldn't be more friendly, adding another place to the list of Yinzhou establishments where people actually bother to know your name and smile when they see you again.

Designers, like the one who lovingly put this The food is a step above page together, spend inordinate amounts of time making things what we've come to expect at coffee shops in Ningbo. The place look neat and pretty, but visit their home or their workspace and thankfully keeps things pretty simple with foolproof options like you might find yourself up to your knees and elbows in the most black pepper beef and cheesy baked rice. It's also worth noting that random assortment of paper, tools and junk you've ever seen. Cafe Design has one of the few pieces of cheesecake in the city with any gravitas to it. This mess can be a kind of comforting chaos for people who earn a living making words, pictures and pages look absolutely perfect. Cafe Design is a bit far from anywhere other than C.O.B., making it a bit of a one-off for a cup of coffee (or a tall, ice-cold glass of Cafe Design is a space that exists as a compromise between who it vodka). However, it's definitely worth penciling in next time you're is designed for and who it is designed by. Nearly every wall in the heading eastward (Ikea run, maybe?).

PORK And seeing as pork is a sort of national meat in China, every month ON THE we'll bring you a new way to get the most out of the tasty pig. make FORK How to Red Braised Pork

Recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 lb. pork belly meat cut into two inch cubes •3 tablespoons vegetable oil (or rendered lard, see March issue) •2 tablespoons brown sugar •3 cloves of garlic peeled •3 whole star anise •1 ½ tablespoons cumin •2 teaspoons spicy red pepper flakes (more if you're a fan of the spice) •1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder •1 teaspoon onion powder •2 tablespoons dark soy sauce •1/4 cup Shaoxing cooking wine •1 1/2 cups chicken stock

Usually this section is reserved for something smoky and decidedly western, but this being China, we thought it best to give a nod to a bonafide Chinese Classic, hong shao rou, or Red Braised Pork. Hong

Red Braised Pork is found in a number of different Chinese cooking styles, from the sweeter Shanghai variety to the fiery Hunan flavor. You may have seen or heard of Eddie Huang's New York City version, which employs the spice from his Hunanese roots and a decidedly American use of Cherry Coke to form a modern twist on the Shao classic. Wherever it may come from, the elements of Red Braised Pork remain the same: moderately fatty pork belly browned in sugar and ginger and then braised in a sweet liquid, traditionally rice wine mixed with sugar. The result is a crunchy exterior with a moist, tender and flavorful center.

This is a pretty traditional recipe, but we've merged it with our BBQ Bike spice profile to give it just a hint of Americana. rou

42 | JUNE 2015 Melt the sugar and the vegetable oil in a medium pot over medium high heat. Continue heating until the sugar is starts to turn darker in color, or about three minutes. Turn the heat up slightly and place the cubed pork in the pot and brown it with the caramelized sugar, for about eight minutes, making sure to turn it. Put the dry ingredients, dark soy sauce, rice wine and clear stock into the pot. Cover the pot and simmer over low heat. Cook for about 40 minutes. Stir the meat every 10 minutes to make sure the bottom of the pot doesn't burn (burning it a little is okay, it's just going to be a pain to clean). Take the cover off and turn the heat to medium high. Cook the meat for another 10 minutes until the sauce reduces down to a smooth, sticky, beautiful consistency. 红 烧 肉

Mr. Nick helped theatre, mask making and work finally paid off when we performed everyone workshop their parts in the performance, set creation it on Friday 28th May in our third floor play, and was the mastermind of the and much more. auditorium to an audience of children, script. 54 | JUNE 2015 JUNE 2015 | 55

The day of the performance was hectic. Face paint and hairspray was excessively used, and took multiple washes to get out. Everyone had to be in the right place at the right time, or else the whole play would fall apart. We thought the organization would be the most difficult part, but everyone worked really well with each other. Our favourite part was definitely the monster scene and dancing in the wild rumpus. We could act all crazy like monsters and scream and growl as much as we wanted to. We thought the props we used were amazing, from the scary masks to moving waves to trees and lights.

Overall, this never would have become a reality without Mr. Sylvie and Mr. Nick’s brilliance. We are all grateful for their expertise in creating this epic piece of performance. We would never have the opportunity without them.

We would love to turn The Little Prince, by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry into a play, because we think it’s an extremely good story and would appeal to both children and adults. If you’ve never read it, we seriously recommend it.

Fenghua Big Buddha 雪窦山

Just outside of Ningbo in Fenghua is one of the largest Buddha's in Zhejiang. The large seated buddha towers over onlookers at the top of the mountain. It can be seen from other moutaintops in the surrounding area. It's a very large structure that is impressive to see. The grandeur and scale of the Buddha is impressive to say the least. Be sure to go on some of the hiking trails nearby as well.
