This is a series dedicated to my hometown, Changping, usually called the
garden of Beijing; a suburb of eighteen districts.   During the summer
2013, I went along the Changping metro line tracks. As proof of the
compelling ambition and overwhelming speed of the development of the
country, Changping metro line took only one year to complete, and became
the fourteenth line in Beijing.

China has recently exhibited a resurrection of the industrial revolution. A
booming capitalist economy has shaken the old system of wealth, as rapid
technological developments cannot wait to replace traditional living habits
and the decline of ethical standards tolls the death of parting days. My
series is not meant to be simply an elegy for a loss of naturalism in
modern society. China’s changes are even more fundamental and drastic.
Socialism and its countless variations leave this land with an undeniable
legacy, and an unbearable spiritual debt. However, this series is not
merely a judgment of a certain scheme that tries to benefit the people but
ultimately results in the exact opposite. It’s an epitome and allegory for
the dilemma of the country.

“An excellent, much-needed introduction to the racial, political, and
economic dimensions of mass incarceration.” —Michelle Alexander

essential resource for those engaged in criminal justice activism as well
as those new to the subject.

*The Bike Project: Weekly Rides*

Every Friday we meet up at the Campus Bicycle Center after closing for a
short (4 to 10 mile) ride through and around Champaign-Urbana. We usually
end up at a place that offers food or drink. This is a good way to meet
other cyclists, learn to cycle in traffic and in a group, and maybe find
some parts of the community that you didn’t know about. You will want to
bring your helmet and your lights, because it can be dark at the end of
this social and fun ride.
