12-28-2012 14:07 BJT
China’s first under-river subway line crossing the Yangtze River has opened in Wuhan, capital of central Hubei province.
It takes three minutes to pass through a 27 kilometer tunnel that links Wuchang and Hankou, two major urban areas in Wuhan. Trains started operating on Friday morning at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour. The line took six years to construct and another three months of passenger-less test runs. It is expected to carry 5-hundred thousand passengers daily, with 26 trains scheduled to run every six minutes.
The 63 hundred kilometer Yangtze River, which flows from northwest China’s Qinghai province through 10 provinces and municipalities before reaching the East China Sea, is a major transport link between west and east China.

Cats, an award-winning musical by British composer Andrew Lloyd Webber, is captivating Beijing audiences with a Chinese version. After its premiere in Shanghai in August 2012, the musical toured cities including Guangzhou and Chongqing, and now celebrates its 100th show in Beijing.
The world renowned musical was composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber and is based on the "Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats" by T. S. Eliot. It first opened in London’s West End in 1981. It has since been performed around the world many times and translated into more than 20 languages.
The show tells the story of a tribe of cats called the Jellicles and the night they make "the Jellicle choice", which is when they decide which cat will ascend the Heaviside Layer and come back to a new life.
Lloyd Webber’s eclecticism is very strong here; musical genres range from classical to pop, music hall, jazz, rock and electro-acoustic music as well as hymnal songs.
To cater to local tastes, some songs were performed in a Beijing dialect. In terms of stage design, the director has incorporated Beijing elements as well, such as bird cages and Peking duck.
The musical has attracted scores of viewers, among which are many stars.
Actor Han Tongsheng said, "The musical is intriguing. Both the dancing and singing were beyond what I imagined."
Actor Huang Bo said, "It’s very impressive that we can translate such a renowned Broadway musical so well."
The mandarin "Cats" is being shown at the Century Theatre in Beijing until February 3rd, 2013.

"The Last Tycoon" ready for 2013 release
12-28-2012 08:31 BJT
Chow Yun-fat is returning to the big screen with a new movie, "The Last Tycoon". Directed by Wong Jing and produced by Andrew Lau, the movie tells the story of a local hero whose gang empire ruled Shanghai in the 1930s. A newly released trailer provides us a glimpse of the movie.
In the new film "The Last Tycoon," Chow Yun-fat will once again be wielding a gun.
Chow is revisiting a storyline that’s similar to the hit television period drama "The Bund" that gave him his first taste of stardom in the 1980s. Like "The Bund", the story of "The Last Tycoon," set in turn of the century China, is about the rise of an infamous Chinese mafia in Shanghai.
Directed by Wong Jing and produced by Andrew Lau, The Last Tycoon revolves around the life of a crime boss, Du Yuesheng, who built his empire in Shanghai, and chronicles his power struggles between influential local figures. Chow plays Du Yuesheng and Chinese actor Huang Xiaoming plays the younger version of Chow’s character.
Huang also has a strong connection to the storyline. In 2006, in the remake of "The Bund" television drama, Huang played the same character as Chow, a role which propelled his career to a new level.
Huang said it is a true dream come true to be in the same film as Chow, as the veteran actor has always been one of his idols.
"The Last Tycoon" is set for release in Chinese mainland and Hong Kong on January 3rd.
