Happy Chinese New Year!


Shaw star Pat Ting Hung on the cover of The Young Companion (Feb. 1958)

Gong Xi Fa Cai! Best wishes for a happy, healthy, and prosperous Year of the Rabbit! I mentioned before that I had some unfinished blog business to wrap up before I finally call it quits. And so, later this month you can look forward to some vinyl delight from Singapore songstress Zhuang Xue Fang and a post about one of Anna May Wong's lost films. In the meantime, why don't you check out the latest episode of Lucky Cat's always entertaining radio podcast or the ear-opening new installment at Antique Shanghai Pop Music devoted to "The Gentleman Singers of Shanghai". See you again soon!

Dave,

I long told you that you need to learn Chinese, both written and conversational, especially you like the Chinese culture and the Chinese entertainment world from the past. Being able to read in Chinese will definitely offer you a more in-depth scope and understanding of the Chinese entertainment world. Good luck in your future endeavor!

Regards,
Chris Tan
