Beijing Discussion On Internet Publishing In China, September 4 At 7:30 pm, At The Beijing Bookworm
I know it is already Monday in China, but since there is still time and since the discussion leaders are truly tops in the field, I am running with this, adding an apology for not having learned about it sooner.
On Monday, September 4, 2006, starting at 7:30 p.m., there is going to be a free discussion regarding internet publishing in China, led by Jeremy Goldkorn, Roland Soong, and Hong Huang. Jeremy (I should call him that because I know him) is a Chinese media/internet veteran and the brains/driving force behind the pioneering and always interesting blog, Danwei.org. Roland Soong is behind the venerable and enlightening blog, EastWestSouthNorth. For a BBC interview of Mr. Soong, go here. Hong Huang writes the blog (in Chinese), Hong Huang Writing for Fun. I have learned from this Danwei post that Ms. Huang is "the CEO of CIMG, which is the company that produces Time Out's Beijing edition, China's version of teen girl mag Seventeen, and a women's rag called iLook. Hong Huang is also the daughter of one Zhang Hanzhi, who was Mao Zedong's English teacher."
The discussion will be at the Beijing Bookworm, Building 4, Nan Sanlitun Road, Chao Yang District. The bookworm's website has a map to the bookstore.
For those of you in Beijing, I would not miss this.

Hi, I would love to be in Beijing right now attending the conference but no..instead I'm stuck in Bologna Italy studying my final exams in law. Aside, I also study Chinese and have attended the Beijing Wen Hua Yu Yan Da Xue for a couple of months. Thus many university time consuming events, I am trying to keep up my Chinese. I am also interested in writing a thesis on the new labor law that is going to be issued soon in china. Is there more info I could/should know about that? Thank you. And also, will you post an outline of what will be discussed today? Thank you in advance, Riccardo.
