We now have access to the Global Market Information Database (often called "gee-mid" GMID) from Euromonitor. Country coverage includes Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bangledesh, Bhutan, Brunei, Cambodia, China and Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Macau, Malaysia, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal, North Korea, Pakistan, Phillipines, Singapore, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Tajikistan, Thailand, Turkmenistan and Vietnam.
Data and narratives will include consumer/lifestyle/market analysis, industry and country information, demographics and other statistics, compiled by Euromonitor staff in the field.
Please note that this database is licensed only for UH students, faculty and staff (and East West fellows). Walk-ins and other visitors will not be able to access the database on their own while in the library because each user has to first go through the proxy server (even while in the building) and then create and use a personal account with Euromonitor.
Though the interface just recently changed, it still has room for improvement... but, once you get the feel for it, there is a lot of primary information that is often hard to find in one package. This should be a good compliment to the EIU reports and profiles.

Summer Advanced Chinese Study in Qingdao
Bard College: Summer Advanced Chinese with Research Practica
Qingdao University, Summer 2009, (June 2 – July 25)
Bard College is offering an inexpensive way for students to pursue intensive advanced Chinese while conducting individual research projects and developing specialized language ability in their areas of interest. The program will enhance the students’ capacity in Chinese and area studies and position them for future careers that employ Chinese language.
Supported by a grant from the U.S. Department of Education, Fulbright Hayes Group Projects Abroad, Bard College and Qingdao University have set up an 8-week summer study program: seven weeks at Qingdao University; one week in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province. While in Qingdao, students attend Chinese classes (3 levels provided) in the mornings, with afternoons, evenings, and weekends for research and study. Each student is assigned an advisor appropriate to the student’s research proposal from the faculty of Qingdao University; the advisor chooses a “research buddy” from among his or her graduate students to assist with many phases of the research, such as library use, understanding texts, local travel, interviewing, etc. The week in Jingdezhen, famous for its pottery works and the revolutionary history of the surrounding area, is devoted to field research. Weekly group meetings are held to discuss research progress and solve problems. An outline and progress report in Chinese is due in the 4th and 6th weeks respectively, with the 8th week devoted to completing the final draft of the research report in Chinese, with an English translation. A reunion and research report meeting is held in the fall.
The cost to non-Bard students is $3,500. This includes international airfare, travel within China, room, board, and tuition. Insurance ($67) and visa ($130) will be billed to or paid by each student separately. Bard does not give credit for this course. Other schools may award credit based on records from Qingdao University.
The applicants should be juniors, seniors, or graduate students, and US citizens or legal residents. Projects should be in education, the humanities, social sciences, languages, or area studies. Applicants must have completed at least two academic years of college-level training in Chinese.
The application process requires a completed application form, a research proposal, a transcript, and letters of recommendation from the student’s academic advisor and the student’s Chinese teacher. Applicants must pass a phone interview in Chinese to be accepted into the program. Candidates will be selected for their language ability and the quality and feasibility of their research proposals.
Please contact Li-hua Ying (ying@bard) and Katherine Gould-Martin (gould@bard) for the application form.
This trip is conditional upon successful renewal of the government grant. Applicants will be informed as soon as we are notified of the renewal.

Chinese Picture Story Book (Lian Huan Hua) Exhibit
Chinese Picture Story Book (Lian Huan Hua)Exhibit
Asia Collection, Hamilton Library
February 2008
Visit Hamlition Library's Digitial Collection to view more than 150 colorful bookcovers.
Lian Huan Hua 连环画 literally means “linked serial pictures.” They are pocket sized picture-story books first published by a Shanghai publisher in the 1920s. Lian huan hua is also commonly known as Xiao ren shu (小人书), children’s book for their simplicity and heraldic subjects. They combined pictures with text. Unlike the western comic books, the text is usually placed either at the bottom or on the right side of the picture, rather than issuing from the characters’ mouth in balloons.
The origin of lian huan hua in China is hard to trace. However, there are two recognized forerunners of this popular medium, the traditional drawings in Chinese classical literature or popular romantic novels and Chinese New Year’s pictures (nian hua 年画). Many story books of the Song (A.D. 960-1279) and the Yuan (A.D. 1279-1368) dynasties often had illustrations at the top of each page, including The Water Margin (Shui hu zhuan 水浒传) and Romance of the Three Kingdoms (San guo zhi 三国志). During the Ming (A.D. 1368-1644) and the Qing (1644-1911) dynasties, popular romantic novels, such as The Dream of the Red Chamber (Hong lou meng 红楼梦) and The Romance of the Western Chamber (Xi xiang ji 西厢记), often included portraits of the main characters at the beginning of the novels and sometimes at the start of each chapter. Traditional Chinese New Year’s pictures are often colorful prints of stories of legendary heroes and episodes of operas. Tales such as Twenty-Four Legends of Filial
Piety (Er shi si xiao 二十四孝) is one of the favorite subjects of New Year’s pictures.
In the early 1920s, lian huan hua first appeared mainly as adaptations of Jingju 京剧 (Peking Opera) and Chinese literary classics. The pictures were created mostly in line drawings, sketches, and oil-wash painting. After the People’s Republic of China (PRC) was founded in 1949, lain huan hua became an extremely popular art form and was used to popularize new government policies and regulations. From 1951 to 1956, more than 10,000 titles, and approximately 26 billion copies were published in China.
The popularity of lian huan hua diminished in 1966 at the beginning of the Cultural Revolution (1966 to 1976); however, the publication was revived by Premier Zhou Enlai in the early 1970s with heroic stories of the time that were used as a propaganda tool. From the late 1970s to mid-1980s, lian huan hua became an important source of education and entertainment for children and adults alike. With a wide range of other reading materials appearing in China during the 1990s, lian huan hua lost its glamour. Since 2000, lian huan hua started appearing in shops and has become hot collectible items in China today.
The Hamilton Library’s China collection has collected more than 150 titles of lian huan hua that were published mostly during the Cultural Revolution, particularly between 1971-1976, when the publication of lian huan hua was rare and difficult at that time.
For the exhibit, the China Specialist Librarian has selected some representative titles and placed them in the display cases on the 4th floor of the Asia Collection.

"The Big Read Performance" - Joy Luck Club
via Hawaii Public Library System -
"A staged readers theatre style performance of Amy Tan's "The Joy Luck Club" takes us on a journey from pre-World War II China to modern day United States through the words and lives of four mothers ("The Joy Luck Club") and their very westernized daughters. Join us as East meets West and cultures sometimes collide in this heartwarming tale of love and the constant need to adapt in order to keep that love alive."
The performance is going to be at four different Hawaii libraries this month, is sponsored by a ton of arts endowments (including the Manoa Outreach College) and looks way cool! Check here for dates, times, locations & performer info.
