As an annual tradition, our cover story for the December issue is the ‘Year in Review,’ and while reflecting upon the most memorable events of the year in social media, arts, sports, fashion and food, we couldn’t help but think that 2017 was actually quite a funny one.
Remember Kris Wu’s famous quote, “Do you even freestyle? (你有freestyle 吗？)” The model who took a tumble on the stage of the Victoria’s Secret show? Or the new Chinese name of McDonald’s? Turn to p42-53 for a good laugh.
Christmas is just around the corner so we’ve prepared a special festive guide in the City section. See where you can get your fix of holiday meals, shows and events, gifts and Christmas markets around Shanghai on p10-17.
In her section, Arts Editor Erica Martin speaks to Hong Kong photographer Wing Shya (p38) ahead of his exhibition at the SCoP. Find out what he has to say about working with his longtime collaborator, legendary filmmaker Wong Kar-wai.
Elsewhere in the magazine, I speak to a few advocates of veganism in China (p26-28) to understand the challenges they face in pushing their agenda toward the mainstream, and what they’re doing to change this.
If a plant-based diet isn’t your thing, then check out Betty Richardson’s reviews of the newest bars and restaurants (starting on p56) in the Eat & Drink section.
Until next month,
Dominic Ngai
Editor-in-Chief
