The January issue of That's PRD is out now, in both paper-and-ink form citywide and digital PDF form on our website. Here, Senior Digital Editor Matthew Bossons introduces the magazine:
China made global headlines on seemingly endless occasions over the past 12 months: a high-profile visit from the ‘Tweeter-in-Chief,’ the boom of shared bikes, China’s inaugural Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, a lackluster performance by Apple’s iPhone 8, a seventh consecutive Chinese Super League title for South China’s powerhouse Guangzhou Evergrande, the list goes on. Simply put: 2017 was a doozy of a year, both in China and beyond.
As such, we’ve decided to start 2018 off with an in-depth look at the year that was. On pages 36-45 we recap social media, arts, sports, fashion and food in China in ’17.
In our City section, That’s Shanghai Editor-in-Chief Dominic Ngai explores drone photography and the folks documenting China’s ever-changing rural and urban landscapes from the sky.
Elsewhere in the mag, Jewelz & Sparks, the handsome German DJ duo that collaborated with Quilla on ‘Unless We Forget,’ tell us about their upcoming debut show in Canton. And, on page 29, American college dropout turned Chinese social media sensation Jonny Long fills us in on his past successes, present projects and future goals.
While many of you may be in the initial thrust of a soon-to-be fruitless New Year’s resolution (perhaps one involving food and/or booze…), we nonetheless have a spread of mouth-watering and intoxicating new F&B establishments to introduce. Turn to our city-specific food and drink section in the second half of the magazine to indulge your foodie fascinations.
This issue marks a new page for the That’s PRD team, as we welcome two new members to our editorial department: Guangzhou Editor Daniel Plafker and Shenzhen Editor Adam Robbins. Our entire operation looks forward to bringing you more breaking news, informative features, event info and foodie-focused goodness in the year to come!
Until next month,
Matthew Bossons
