In this respect, the release of documentaries like A State of Mind (which follows two girls in Pyongyang as they prepare for their participation in the mass games, the most important sporting and theatri- cal event in North Korea) has helped shift people’s percep- tions. They draw attention to the human side of the country, rather that its military and political ones.

How did you get into documentary making in the first place? TV sports producer Dan Gordon approached me in 1999 trying to find out what happened to the North Korean football team that shocked the world in 1966 by beating Italy 1-0 in the World Cup in England.

n Chinese folklore, horses in ancient times had wings and were called tianma 天马, or sky horses. Galloping, flying or swimming, they were so powerful that there seemed no limit to what they could do. Favored and spoiled by the Jade Emperor, the sky horse gradually became insufferably arrogant and imperious. One day, he flew out of the sky palace and tried to break into the Dragon King’s palace in the ocean, but ended up kicking the turtle guardian to death. The Jade Emperor was so angry at the sky horse Ithat he gave an order to cut his wings off and have him imprisoned under Mount Kunlun for 300 years. After 200 years, a human ancestor passed by the mountain and heard the horse lament how regretful he was, saying that he wished to come to the human world and work for humans. Out of sympathy, the human freed the horse from under the mountain and brought him to the human world. As promised, the horse plowed and was burdened, saddled and armored, bearing all kinds of hardship without complaint. From then on, the horse became a very good friend of human beings and was elected as one of the candidates to be in the Chinese horoscope. The Jade Emperor was moved by the horse’s penance too, and allowed it to become a horoscope animal.

Chinese people’s admiration for horses is also reflected on the horse to- tem, especially in the ancient Han and Wei Dynasty. Horses were not simply an animal back then, but a symbol of speed, efficiency and success, which meant great fortune and good luck. In fact, many of the idioms with the horse character ma 马 are still popular today, such as ‘long ma jing shen’ 龙马精神, or dragon-horse spirit, meaning people who are energetic; ‘ma dao cheng gong’ 马到成功, horse victory, which expresses gaining immediate success; ‘si ma nan zhui’ 驷马难追, once a word is said not even four horses can pull it back, meaning every word and promise counts.

Three years ago, Wiger took over the ﬂat from two of her colleagues. Aside from the thick dining table and cozy sofa they left behind, the house was completely unfurnished – the perfect canvas for Wiger to work on. An avid collector, she has filled the place with gorgeous vintage finds, furniture, art and trinkets from markets, indie shops and designers.

H&M’s trend developer and head of heavy knit innovation Nina Wiger knows a thing or two about style. Her house, a beautiful pad overlooking Jiashan Market, is a reflection of her personal passions, travels and aesthetic – a striking retreat where the young creative can chill and play when she’s not traveling around the world in search of the next big fashion forecast. Here’s a peek into her urban oasis. Using the space as an open closet, Wiger has dotted the entire ﬂat with her jackets, shoes, bags When she’s not analyzing fashion trends for H&M, Wiger dedicates most of her time to photography. She’s and hats - a remarkable mix of also very much a contemporary art lover. When she first moved in, she had a Swedish artist make this high-street numbers and designer painting, which was meant to replicate a photo of Wiger with her boyfriend at the time. “It turned out she pieces. They perfectly complement didn’t like to draw boys,” Wiger explains. “So the one on the right is supposed to be my ex. It’s definitely very the rest of the boho-chic décor unique.” and have seamlessly become part of the furniture. Photos, one of Wiger’s main interests, are also everywhere in the house.

Wiger describes her personal style as “bohemian and ethnic, mixed up with a bit of vintage and tons of modern.” The pad definitely mirrors that, blending hippie details with retro touches and sleek, hip items with traditional craft pieces collected around the globe.

Under her bed, piles of glossies and fashion magazines keep her creative juices ﬂowing when she’s not working or traveling.

The sunny terrace – from which Wiger has a prime spot to check out anything happening at Jiashan Market and Melange Oasis – is punctuated by pots of plants and ﬂowers. The rusty coﬀee table that she chills at whenever the sun shines is a find from Pudong Antique Market.

The kitchen reveals an interesting mix of wood, black marble and exposed concrete – a modern feel that goes hand in hand with Wiger’s own style.

The show will see Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood joined by special guest Mick Taylor.

In honor of only the second ever Stones show in China, we’ve not only landed an exclusive interview with the living legend that is Sir Mick Jagger, but have also taken the chance to have a look over the history of yaogun – Chinese rock’n’roll – on which the Stones were a major influence. So get yourself a ticket (before they go!), sit back, have a good read and crank those anticipation levels up to 11.
