		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m pleased to find the local library in Singapore has some of Qiu Xiaolong&#8217;s detective novels, which feature a Chief Inspector of Police, Chen, who also happens to be a poet and English major. The novels are in translation (naturally, for me to read them); they take place in Shanghai in the 1990s, and have [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The word &#8220;general&#8221; originally is derived from Latin &#8220;generalis&#8221; which in turn is derived from &#8220;genus&#8221;. Genus means birth, descent, or origin. It also means kind or sort. It is this second meaning that generalis is derived from. Generalis means applicable to all, as opposed to specialis (which is derived from &#8220;species&#8221; and means &#8220;particular&#8221;). [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hello. I&#8217;m currently editing a scholarly book that will soon be published on the history of Tibet and China in the 1920s and 30s. I have lots to say about it from a translation point of view, since it was based on Chinese and Tibetan sources, written in French, translated into a Gallic English, and [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It seems that every ten years or so animators realize that there&#8217;s a market for Chinese-themed feature-length cartoons. Mulan took the U.S. by storm in 1997 (Mulan II less so later), and now we&#8217;ve got Kung-Fu Panda. Which I like &#8211; it&#8217;s visually and stylistically very interesting, has lots of jokes about Hong Kong kung-fu [&#8230;]]]></description>

Partly because I like Brendan Fraser, who doesn&#8217;t seem to take himself too seriously &#8211; at least not in [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The big-budget movie of the Battle of Red Cliff was so cumbersome that it was split into two thrilling installments. One was released last July just before the Beijing Olympics, and the other is now out in theaters, at least here in Singapore. Part I starts with the rescue of Liu Bei&#8217;s son, Ah Dou, [&#8230;]]]></description>
