The April issue of That's Shanghai is out now – paper-and-ink-form citywide, digital pdf-form right here or in your browser here.
Attending a bodybuilding competition as a spectator can be pretty heart-wrenching for one’s self-esteem – particularly if, like us, you spend most of your daily life chained to a desk. It can also be slightly disturbing, with all the spray tan, biceps and out-of-this-world bodies that seem to define the practice. Not to mention gender stereotypes and steroids use. But if you can bear the sight of freakish men and badass women, you’ll find this month cover story on page 54 quite the thing. That’s Beijing’s Editor-in-Chief Oscar Holland and photographer Holly Li went and reported all about it for us.
Elsewhere in the magazine, Dominique Wong looks at domestic violence in China in light of a new law designed to empower and protect victims (page 14), I explore the ridiculously luxurious rise of China’s pet market (page 29), Andrew Chin talks to rock legends Iron Maiden (page 42) and Betty Richardson brings you a beautiful looking five-page spread on healthy bowls for spring (page 74), as well as a slew of restaurant reviews (from page 80). In our Community Section, we also cover two upcoming Urban Family events (page 66 and 67), as presented by UF’s Editor-in-Chief Alyssa Wieting.
Crack on reading, y’all.
Until next month,
Marianna Cerini, Editor-in-Chief
