The September issue of That's PRD is out now, in both paper-and-ink form citywide and digital PDF form on our website. Here, Editor-in-Chief Matthew Bossons introduces the magazine:
During my tenure at That’s PRD, we’ve covered a number of troubling incidents of sexual assault and harassment. Most recently, in July, we reported on Sun Yat-sen University’s decision to remove Zhang Peng from the classroom after allegations of sexual misconduct were brought against him. Over the past seven years, the 40-year-old professor is believed to have sexually harassed at least nine students and colleagues.
While the #metoo movement got its start in America thanks to the high-profile accusations against movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, China’s fledging movement has grown and developed via an entirely different path. On pages 36-45, read about the victims and activists that are working to raise awareness about sexual misconduct and abuse in China.
In our City section, we discuss the development of water-soluble plastic bags (page 9) and take a look at the winning shots by Chinese photographers at the 2018 iPhone Photography Awards (page 12).
While summer vacation may now be over, I’m of the belief that the best months for travel in South China are now upon us (the temperatures from September-November are much more agreeable). To this end, we’ve profiled an awesome weekend getaway to Miaowan Island (page 21), a relaxing and picturesque retreat located off the coast of Zhuhai.
Before I sign off, I’d like to take a minute to thank everyone who voted in, supported and/or attended our 2018 That’s Hospitality Awards, which were held on August 30 at the Conrad Guangzhou. The event was a memorable one, and you can see highlights from the awards ceremony by clicking here.
Until next month,
Matthew Bossons
