China Today (Beijing, 2013)

Rapid modernization and development has drastically changed the face of Chinese cities. During the Cultural Revolution, one could be beaten just to wear something regarded a little bit too fancy, like a red shoes with flower decoration. But today, Beijing youngsters are too keen of world fashion and world-class branded stuff. Naked models on billboard are not out-of-place either. The China today is already very much different even compared to when I came first time to Beijing in 2000.

China Hari Ini (Beijing, 2013)

Modernisasi dan pembangunan yang begitu cepat mengubah wajah kota-kota di China secara drastis. Pada masa Revolusi Kebudayaan, orang bisa dipukuli dan dihajar hanya karena tampil cantik misalnya dengan sepatu yang ada hiasannya. Tetapi hari ini, generasi muda Beijing menggilai mode pakaian dan produk merek dunia. Model yang tampil telanjang pun sudah bukan hal yang istimewa. Hal ini bahkan sudah sangat drastis perubahannya dibandingkan dengan ketika saya pertama kali datang ke Beijing pada tahun 2000.
