RAS/Beijing Postcards Historical Quiz Night
When was prostitution legalized in Beijing?* Where is the first ringroad?* When did China get its first foreign ministry? *Why did the concubines of the emperor Jiajing try to kill him?* When did you stop using ration coupons in the Capital?*
Test your knowledge about the city you live in when the “Beijing Postcards historical pubquiz” premieres at the Bookworm on Sep.7
This pub quiz is a combination of a talk and a game show. All questions are about the history of Beijing. We strive to inspire curiosity and new perspectives on the city that you are living in.
The topics have roots in the archival research Beijing Postcards do. We find the answers in dusty archives not on Wikipedia, but don’t be afraid. The questions are made in a multiple choice format so everybody will have a chance.
Register teams of up to 6 people and accept the challenge!
On Sep.7 the Royal Asiatic Soceity will co-host the event so we have added a segment with questions about this mysterious society- An organization with more than a hundred years of history in China.”

Book Talk with Glyn Ford
Despite recent attempts at ‘negotiation’, theattitudes of both Kim Jong-un’s regime and the West seem unchanged. North Koreais still shrouded in mystery, and there are no clear plans for the future…Can we trust either side to bring about peace? And if so, how?
This provocative insider’s account blasts apartthe myths which paint North Korea as a rogue state run by a mad leader.Informed by extraordinary access to the country’s leadership, Glyn Fordinvestigates the regime from the inside, providing game-changing insights,which Trump and his administration have failed to do. Acknowledging that NorthKorea is a deeply flawed and repressive state, he nonetheless shows thatsections of the leadership are desperate to modernise and end their isolation.
With chapters on recent developments includingthe Trump / Kim summit, Ford supports a dialogue between East and West, whilstalso criticising Trump’s facile attempts. Talkingto North Korea provides a road map for averting the looming threat of a warin North East Asia that would threaten the lives of millions.

About Brecht
关于布莱希特
Bertolt Brecht (1898-1956), German poet, playwright and theatre director. World famous drama works include The Good Person of Sichuan, Caucasian Chalk Circle, Schweik in the Second WorldWar , Mother Courage and HerChildren, etc.
贝尔托·布莱希特（1898-1956），德国著名诗人、戏剧家、编剧、导演。
主要戏剧作品有《四川好人》《高加索灰阑记》《第二次世界大战中的帅克》《大胆妈妈和她的孩子们》等。
Brechtis an influential theater reformer in the history of modern theater, and isregarded as the pioneer for contemporary “Theatre in Education”. Hisplays and dramatic theories had greatly influenced the contemporary theatricalworld and became the main object for research.
布莱希特是现代戏剧史上极具影响力的剧场改革者，被视为当代“教育剧场”的启蒙人物。布氏的剧作及戏剧理论对当代戏剧界产生过巨大的影响，并由此成为各国戏剧家的主要研究对象。
Brecht’s system of dramatic performance,together with the ‘Peking Opera art system represented by Mei Lanfang’ and theRussian ‘Stanislavsky system’, constitutes the world’s three major systems of dramaticperformance, which represents his outstanding contribution to the history ofdramatic art.
布莱希特的表演体系与“以梅兰芳为代表的京剧艺术体系”和俄国的“斯坦尼斯拉夫斯基体系”组成了世界戏剧三大表演体系。可见他在戏剧艺术史上的突出贡献。
About the Book
关于本书
（Brecht’splay The Good Person of Sichuan 布莱希特戏剧《四川好人》剧照）
Brecht, Music and Culture- Hans Eisler inConversation with Hans Bunge.
The initiative behind the fourteen conversationswas Eisler’s wish to keep alive the memory of his great friend and colleague,Bertolt Brecht. But Eisler’s dynamic conversational range embraces far morethan his relationship with Germany’s greatest twentieth-century playwright. Hereflects on their exile from Nazi Germany in Los Angeles where they numberedamong their many friends and acquaintances Charlie Chaplin, Arnold Schoenbergand Thomas Mann. He also recalls their bruising encounters with the HouseCommittee on un-American Activities. Back in post-war Europe, he considers thequality of artistic, political and intellectual life in the German DemocraticRepublic; the social significance of music; and far broader philosophicalthemes concerning the future of the arts, artists and the lives of ordinarypeople.
《布莱希特音乐与文化》又称汉斯·艾斯勒谈话录，艾斯勒希望能够以谈话录的方式记录下贝托尔·布莱希特，这位他最好的朋友和伙伴的日常点滴。但在这十四次谈话中，艾斯勒所涉及的话题远远超越了他与这位二十世纪德国最伟大剧作家的关系。
在谈话中，艾斯勒回顾了他们从纳粹德国流亡到洛杉矶的经历，谈到了在洛杉矶与他们交往密切的的朋友和熟人，如查理·卓别林、阿诺尔德·勋伯格和托马斯·曼。他还回忆起他们与“非美活动调查委员会”的激烈交锋，谈及战后欧洲民主德国的艺术、政治和知识分子的生活，音乐的社会意义以及关于未来艺术、艺术家和普通人生活这些意义更深远的哲学话题。
About the Authors
关于作者
Hanns Eisler, who was born in 1898 in Leipzig,is one of the most fascinating and controversial Austrian composers of theTwentieth Century. Committedly left-wing and enormously versatile, he composedin various genres: from chamber pieces in the style of the Schoenberg school to‘agitprop’ ballads and choruses for the Workers’ Movement; from full symphonicworks to the more conventional film scores he wrote for Hollywood. He alsocomposed the music to the National Anthem of the German Democratic Republic.
汉斯·艾斯勒是二十世纪最杰出亦是最具争议的奥地利反法西斯作曲家。也是充满智慧，拥有娱乐精神的交谈家，他犀利，风趣，诙谐，充满活力且知识渊博，对历史轶事有高深的见解，甚至到今天听到或读到他的文字也是一个比较令人振奋的事情。同时他也是音乐理论家和社会活动家。
Hans Bunge was one of Bertolt Brecht’sassistants at the Berliner Ensemble and, after the playwright’s death in 1956Brecht’s widow, Helene Weigel, gave him the responsibility of creating theBrecht Archive.
汉斯·邦格汉斯·邦格,曾就职于柏林剧团，任贝托尔德•布莱希特的助理。1956年布莱希特离世后，他的遗孀海伦娜·韦格尔委托邦格整理布莱希特的文档。

Book talk: Cities in Science Fiction
Cities in Science Fiction
Copenhagen-Beijing
Please join us for this event, where we will explore the urban future from the vantage point of Copenhagen, one of the smallest capitals in the world, and Beijing, the great megacity.
The cities of the imagined future are often gigantic, glittering creatures, covering entire coastlines or even planets. They are floating on risen oceans, lie domed under the sea or deeply buried underground. In speculative fiction, many different types of narrative city structures keep reappearing – abandoned cities, feral suburbs, the city as a machine or a bazaar. A large portion of the Earth’s population already inhabit an urban world and share an urban future, and looking at the social and technological problems facing real cities today, even some of the most dystopic sci-fi scenarios do not seem farfetched anymore.
In his fiction, the Danish author, Kaspar Colling Nielsen, has laboured to build a 3,5 km high mountain for human habitation in a near future Denmark, a country with no skyscrapers of any significance (Mount Copenhagen, 2010). And he has unfolded a future, civil war in Copenhagen that takes place due to a collapse of the welfare system and greediness of the financial sector (The Danish Civil War 2018- 2024, 2013.) Colling Nielsen is celebrated as one of the most original voices in contemporary Danish fiction and has a style characterized by imaginative and tragicomic tales about life’s existential conditions and dilemmas. In this discussion, we will cover important topics as how to mitigate the complex physical and mental living environments in modern cities and literature’s role in shaping and visualizing better futures for all.
Kaspar Colling Nielsen (b. 1974). Born and raised in Copenhagen. Alongside his writing, Colling Nielsen works as a lecturer at Copenhagen Business School and as a screenwriter for film and television. He holds a degree in Business Administration and often participates in public discussions on socio-economic matters. He has a long standing interest in China.

34 Years Among the Birds of China: New Species and New Threats
Prof. Per Alstrom is a world-renowned ornithologist at the Department of Ecology and Genetics, Uppsala University, and the SwedishSpecies Information Center of the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. A prolific author and editor, Alstrom also has close ties to several scientific institutions in China and neighboring countries.
He writes: “I’ve travelled extensively across China since 1984, many times to places where the locals had never seen a Westerner before. The main aim of these trips has been to study birds, in the beginning just for pleasure (birdwatching), later for scientific research in collaboration with Chinese colleagues (still a pleasure!). These excursions have led to the description of five bird species new to science, and to revised treatment of several subspecies to species status. Using photos, sound recordings and video clips, I’ll bring the audience along on some of these trips, to show a fraction of the incredible variety of birds, mammals, insects, plants, cultures and sceneries found in China. I will also touch on the perceived changes and present threats to the Chinese avifauna.”
Per Johan Alström是瑞典鸟类学教授。他在分类学，系统学和进化方面进行研究，将亚洲鸟类作为专业。 Alström在乌普萨拉大学生态与遗传学系和瑞典乌普萨拉农业科学大学瑞典物种信息中心工作。
