K-pop

In 1996, there was a song “We Are The Future” let us know who is “H.O.T” and what’s k-pop. Nowdays, each of us would have several k-pop songs in our playlist. Form “H.O.T” to “EXO” ( a South Korean-Chinese boy band produced by S.M. Entertainment in 2012), great changes have taken place in k-pop. If you like k-pop, come with me and finding the k-pop’s yesterday and today!

Xue Han 120307237 Class 4

Look back to the history of Korean popular music, there are four important periods: the early K-pop, the turning point of k-pop, the birth of the Korean wave, and the global k-pop.

Begin talking about K-pop, we should know some of its history. The history of K-pop music can be traced back to 1885 when an American missionary, Henry Appenzeller started teaching American and British folk songs at a school. At this time, the western music started enter into Korea and started influencing Korean music. From one perspective, this is the originating of K-pop.

At the end of the 1960s and beginning of the 1970s, Korean pop music has a very important change. Because people in this time, unlike their predecessors who had to experience war and Japanese oppression. Additionally, these young musicians were heavily influenced by American culture and lifestyle. So they had a more open and free mind, and their music pay more attention to fun and self entertaining.

Different time has different fashion cycle, for example: in the 1970s, DJs started to become popular, but 10 years later, the era of ballads become more popular. Because of more and more different kinds of music come into vogue in Korea, the k-pop started blooming.

There was a time has to mention. In the 1990s, early Korean pop musicians mixed American popular music styles like rap, rock in their music. The Seo Taiji & Boys brought a true turning point in the history of K-pop. The lyrics of Seo Taiji & Boys dealt with the problems of Korean society, which other entertainers of the era failed to do. And their sound paved the way for the “success format” of K-pop songs. In other hand, the 1990s were also a successful period for underground music clubs, punk rock bands managed to gain mainstream popularity.

In 1995 Korean entrepreneur Lee Soo-man founded South Korea’s largest talent agency and record label, SM Entertainment. By the late 1990s, YG Entertainment, DSP Entertainment, JYP Entertainment, and FNC Music had become the most important part of k-pop music market. And SM, YG and JYP often referred to as the “Big Three.”

Towards the turn of the 21st century, the K-pop music began spreading out to other regions of the world as part of the global Korean wave. In 2012, the number of fans in Turkey over 100,000 for the first time, and reached 150,000 in 2013. That year, there were 70 K-pop fan clubs in Mexico, with at least 60,000 members altogether. All this number shows the k-pop music become an indispensable part in present international music market.

If now you are only know western pop music, you are out of fashion. K-pop, the new music bomb had already threw to the global  music market. Maybe the song “We Are The Future” really predicted the future of k-pop. Like the lyric in this song “I want to create my own world, don’t force me to live the same life, I want to set up my own life, we are the future!” The special, bright future belong to K-pop!

You know, when two funny guys run across each other, there will be always a hit between them. So, can you imagine what will be like when Street Arts run across Tourism? It must be fun.

I once heard a story about a town, Sheffield in Australia, which was a relatively backward area. However, the residents of Sheffield revitalized their homeland by Art. After discussing how to reform and innovation, at last some residents proposed to develop the tourism in order to attract more people to come. An inventive style of Art—Draw mural painting came up later. With the remarkable improvement and great effort, the town has realized its blueprint. The murals attract an estimated 200,000 people to the town annually. What a big change! Wait, wait, it’s not the only case to run across.

Huangjueping graffiti street is located in Chongqing City, is the Chinese and even the world’s largest graffiti art works. Chongqing graffiti art street is attracting more and more people to come. This street has become the first to Chinese graffiti art. Huangjueping graffiti art also takes on a new aspect, has become a new place for tourism in Chongqing. It is understood, graffiti street is to promote an innovative initiative of cultural and creative industries in Chongqing City. At that time the Huangjueping has the appearance of many old buildings are dilapidated, in urgent need of transformation, then the government boldly and Academy of Fine Arts artists after several times to discuss, finally determined to graffiti this form as a retrofitting scheme on this area of appearance. All of this really make a great difference. A tourist city must has something related to Art, or it seems less vigor, passion and artistic atmosphere.

Street Art more or less gives the city visual shock, a feel of freedom and injected new vitality and unique elements. If you are into Street Arts, there are some good place you can visit. First , The Berlin wall remains colorful graffiti that known around the world. In 20 years, East Gallery gradually becomes one of the most popular tourist attractions in Berlin. Second, The National People’s Congress graffiti wall located at people’s University in Haidian District Road, which is the largest, the largest area of a graffiti wall. In November 12th, after the Olympic countdown 1000 days, the wall was named “Beijing wall”.

Maybe you can run across them next time.  And there is other matter I want to suggest, if we happen to fall in love with two interesting things, maybe we should try to find a way to let them run across and combine them in order to get full use of both and then people will see something unexpected. Just like the Street Arts and tourism. No soul, No spirit, the city will be dying . Street Art brings a new spirit to the city, which will sure helps the development of tourism. I strongly recommend that city should welcome Outdoor art behavior. Do you support me? Let some beautiful run across.

To see is an autobiographical book of a well-known journalist Chai Jing. At least 1.5 million of the books had been sold. It’s a big number for a writer in China. It tells Chai’s growth in CCTV and changes of China during the recent decade by a journalist view. Ten years ago she was chosen to become the national television news anchor. Because of inexperienced, she suffered defeat. Nowadays she becomes a famous reporter, after a decade’s experience.

Do you remember SARS in 2003? It’s a big catastrophe. We think doctors and nurse are heroes at that time. But we forget people who reported these are also heroes. In this book, Chai recalled the things in this book.

In April of 2003, SARS became more serious that make people panic. The fear of people comes from unknown situation. The best way to know all of the things is going to first-line to interview. But when she saw patients at first time, she was frightened. People who get SARS lay on the bed without any expression. At that time she knew what desperation is. The deathly silence made her uncomfortable. “You can smell the smell of death” Chai said. By her report, the public begin to know how situation is.

When faced with disaster, people recognize the preciousness of life. Chai and her colleges lived in a hotel. There were no people in the hotel, even the staffs in the hotel had gone to their hometown. Chai and her colleges begin to think whether they may get SARS. The heart beat make she felt that life is so real. She received a message from an unknown number: I’m very pride of your courage. If you get SARS, I will marry you.

Fortunately, she and her colleges were safe. But many doctors got SARS in one hospital. She went there to investigate what happened in this hospital. A doctor who worked in this hospital told her there were not well protection at that time. “And what did you use to protect yourselves?” Chai asked. “Only courage” the doctor said sadly. 75 people got SARS and 45 of them died.

During ten years, there were many things happened in China. SARS, Earthquake in Wunchuan, Beijing Olympic Games ，etc. Through these things，China is growing. Chai is also growing as a journalist.

Chai is a good journalist because she cares about people in news. She is patient and listen them carefully. Another reason is that she is an objective. “There are not good man and bad man in this world. There only people who do good things or bad things” Chai’s college told her .As a journalist you should bring fact to audiences. Many journalists like to guide audiences to get more attention. It’s wrong. People have their right to analyze an event. In this way, people will become more independent and freedom and countries will become more democratic. Journalists are eyes of people and conscience of a country.

“It’s an excellent book. I recommended this book to my friends.” An Internet user from Amazon said. You will not want to miss it, if you want to see something invisible behind news and view the world wisely like a journalist. You can visit Douban for more information about the book.

　Mention of Hollywood, everyone not strange. As we all know , Hollywood is famous for the place that movie stars shine on. Everyone has favourite movie stars and l believe the number of these stars can make up a dictionary.
However, one of them that must be mentioned. She is so beautiful like an angle from the heaven. She is loved by almost everyone not only her beauty but also her kindness. Guess who she is? She is the actress in <ROMAN HOLIDAY>, she is Audrey Hepburn!
By: shi mi Chen 134302124 Class2

When the first time l saw her, l fall in love in her eyes, Her eyes look like a story. In Roman Holiday, she acted as a princess. She won the Oscar Ward for this film. l think everyone knows the film <>. In the play she wore a black strapless dress beautiful shadows make fans think constantly of, this costume opportunity at Christie’s in London, sold for 410000 pounds, became the “most expensive” costume.

In the epic movie “war and peace”, play a well-known actress in the drama “Natasha Audrey”. This is Audrey and her husband Mel Feller for the first time in the film.
Movie “wild oats”, as a fashionable dress exaggerated telephone operator in the movie; movie “laughter in paradise”, Audrey plays a sweet sexy sell cigarette girl in the film; the movie “robbery armored car”, as “Qi Ji tower in the film” (Chiquita), and actor Alec Guinness performing opponents play movie “young woman” (Young Wives’Tale) anecdotes, in the play, Audrey played a single beautiful typist; movie “Monte Carlo Baby” (Monte Carlo Baby), because Hepburn knew French, so in the “Monte Carlo Baby” of the English and French versions as the same role; movie “Shu Yan”, as “Nora Brentano” (Nora Brentano), during the election campaign, the director announced that Audrey is the first candidate for this role.
Movie “forever”, Audrey guest stars as a noble, nostalgic angels in the film. This movie is Audrey’s celebrity for. I think no one can act better than her in this film because she is the angle in our heart.
I think the most important thing is that she not only has beautiful appearance, the Hollywood actress inherent, and others can not better than acting can be said to be a born actress, is a precious treasure in movies.
In fact, Audrey Hepburn is just a microcosm of the development of the Hollywood film. Nowadays, more and more people love the movies, they love Audrey Hepburn, until today, although Audrey Hepburn has passed away, she still was the goddess of the same in many people’s mind, this is not only attributed to Audrey Hepburn’s own charm, but also because of the Hollywood film strong star power.
I like Audrey Hepburn and like many people, I also like the movie, I think movies can let me relax, movie movie stars have their own characteristics, worthy of our love!

  Taylor met her friend on the side of the road in a red skirt today; Taylor took the dance training course in the afternoon wearing a pair of Nike Air Max; Taylor, carrying her beloved black barrels pack, went shopping again. Taylor! Taylor! Why always her? And, who is Taylor Swift? She is a singer,but why is the rate of her street snaps so high? How do the reporters know exactly her where about? Is she really pleased that these reporters follow her wherever she goes? Why is she so crazy about fashion rather than pay more attention to her music albums? When people read the fashion magazines, they will invariably see the latest street snaps of Taylor. Perhaps her frequent appearance caters for her loyal fans, who are delighted to be informed of whatever happens to her. However, for most of the readers who know little about her or despise her, she is rather a nuisance at all.

By:Fu Dongyang  110909121 class 2

Taylor Alison Swift  is an American country pop singer–songwriter, guitarist and actress. In 2006, she released her debut single “Tim McGraw”, which preceded the release of her self-titled debut album. Her album was certified Platinum several times by the Recording Industry Association of America.
Taylor released her second album, Fearless, in November 2008. According to Nielsen SoundScan, Taylor is the highest-selling artist of 2008 in the United States with combined sales of more than four million albums. Taylor’s Fearless and her self-titled album finished 2008 at number three and number six respectively, with sales of 2.1 and 1.5 million. Fearless has topped the Billboard 200 in 11 non-consecutive weeks, a feat no album has spent more time at number one since 1999-2000. According to Forbes, Taylor is 2009’s 69th most powerful celebrity earning $18 million.

But according to the fashion magazines, many readers may wonder why Taylor is so keen on taking street snaps by the entertainment reporters? Is she really willing to let her daily life known to the public? Does she need to sacrifice her privacy so as to capture the attention of her fans?

To these questions, my answers are absolutely yes. Here are the reasons.

First of all, it is hard for Taylor not to catch people’s eye. As we can see, she has a height of 180cm. Long legs, beautiful face with perfect shape, coupled with fair skin, she is more like a super model than a singer! No wonder she becomes the object of paparazzi every day.

Second, Tyler’s fine character gains her great popularity. For one thing, She is very cheerful and approachable, which makes it pleasant to work with her. For another, she knows very well what she wants from the media. Exposure rates means almost everything for any star. While she is reluctant sometimes, most of the time she has to cooperate with paparazzi. I think both she herself and her team understand the importance of exposure to her. So taking snapshots can be a mutually beneficial thing. We must admit that Taylor’s professional quality is also very high.

Third, Taylor, in common with stars in the cycle, knows that it is impossible to please everyone. Though some readers feel bored with her frequent appearance, she still has a large number of fans who support her and expect a lot from her. So she must do something, for example, by offering lovable pictures and street snaps of high quality, to satisfy her fans. She should never let them down. After all, for the fans, it is always a pleasure to see their idol in any way, even if her story has nothing to do with music. In terms of this, it is best for her to get the highlight of the media.

To summarize, whether you like her or not, whether you are willing to see her street snaps or hear her songs, we have to admit that in the society where people advocate sexy. fame and wealth, many stars have to establish themselves in the entertainment circle depending on strange style or distinctive look, Taylor can easily get the attention of people from all walks of life in a mere way of street snaps. She doesn’t need to sacrifice her dignity or get involved in scandals, it is really admirable for a female star.

Maybe in the future there will be more about her street photos. I do hope we can be open to the graceful girl, for she is indeed a feast of eyes for those who love fashion.

As an ordinary person, the world of art seems to be very far from our daily life. A lot of people lack of interest of art exhibition, perhaps it is because there is a gap between artists and us. It is likely that to understand the meaning of many art works is difficult for us. However, Yayoi Kusama exhibition a boom, let many people rarely picked up interest in art, trying to feel the real world of art. Why do so many people so keen on the Yayoi Kusama’s work, hope that by this article to explore.

Zhang YuHeng, 110909241, Class 2

Following the recent Dior exhibition, ‘A dream I dreamed’ was another popular exhibition in Shanghai. People interested in Dior exhibition could be well understood, Dior is a well-known brand name all over the world, whether to buy or not to buy it, people all want to go to see her style. Or the exhibition of Monet, who is the world famous artists, who do not want to watch the painting by their own eyes? However, before the exhibition, the audience knows nothing about Yayoi Kusama at all. It is hard to deny that its boom seems to be kind of weird.

People first impression of this strange exhibition is “dot”. It was likely that her world is form by dots, the interpretation way of the world aroused my interest, and at least, it is an important reason why I went to see the exhibition. I am unable to hold myself back to know, using dots to interpretation her own world, what she really want to express? How did she use the complicated pattern to express her own mind? The answer of this question must be answer by myself after I watching it. I guess there are many fans of polka dots like me, deeply attracted by the impression of it. We almost never see any exhibition give simple but strong impression to the audience like ‘I have a dream’ before. It is common that the posters of the exhibition cannot find any clues of it. However, her works is too strong, can let a person immediately familiar with her style. Probably because the exhibition style approaches to daily life, Yayoi Kusama gives us a hint that we can understand her.

It is worth mention that, there is a psychological study popular in recent years. Many people have claimed to be intensive phobia, seeing intensive things makes them could not help sick. These people can not accept anything intensive, but the funny thing is, there are a lot of intensive phobia patients are also eager to see the Yayoi Kusama exhibition. This strange mood somewhat dumbfounding people, even many people call it the “intensive fear exhibition”.

However, many people do not know the story behind. Kusama fears about trauma since her childhood and she had lived in New York for a long time, which was dominated by male powers. However, her works was not to show what she can see in the world. Kusama created thousands of dots and net patterns to conquer her fear towards the life, and by the works she turned her horror into something funny and familiar. According to her biography, she said “in any case, I was terrified of sex, and of the phallus. My fear was of the hide-in-the-closed-trembling variety. And it was precisely because of this that I made tons and tons of these shapes. Creating them, putting myself right in the midst of the horror, helped me to heal the wounds in my heart and, little by little, escape the fear. Each day I would produce forms that I gradually turned the horror into something familiar.” That may give people who are fears of intensive deeply thought about how to conquer fears. It is possibly that many people believe that the feeling of familiar can heal their afraid of something so they came to the exhibition and try to be relax and enjoy.

Basketball brings you more.

Want to achieve weight-losing  in your basketball ways?  When falling in love with basketball,it seems basketball brings more than weight-losing.What’s more, taking part in the teamwork definitely brings benefits.

Jing Li          134102208         Class 3

His last basketball match was undoubted great. No one likes failure, especially successive ones. While for Sun, it’s no doubt that he has become a legend in Journalism Institution history not because his amazing performance and leadership in the team, but also the unbelievable “self-changing” in his last 4 years college life.

At April 4^th, this year‘s School Basketball Championship started with many people’s craziness and enthusiasm，Journalism, last year‘s champion, showed great passion and competence in their first match against team Universal Culture Communication in a big margin. Sun Xuning, captain of Journalism, scored 21 points in this match, surely the highest and best performance above all, which was definitely usual compared with last year.

Things went steep after first match. Everyone had not imagined the situation changing so sharply that it gave no more time for them to scrutinize whether they had lost something.

It surely belongs to the absence of Sun, though his teammates had dedicated their whole personal power to attain the victory of the later 2 matches which sadly turned out to be lost in a row. Sun is in grade 4 and have to pre-find a job which meant he had no time and energy to lead the basketball team and play with his great teammates again. However, Sun made the decision, coming back to school and play the first match for his team.

“I merely go outside for anything before college. When I’m in grade 1, I nearly weighed 100 kg, a typical big fat guy. I decided to change immediately, or I would have no chance, no time and no passion when I go into higher grades”, said Sun. “He has no other hobbies except basketball, so, with no hesitation, he just take a ball and go directly to courts and play until after dusk”, teammate Tao Guilong said. “We’re all proud of him seeing him successfully lost weight and changed to be a 80 kg ,pretty strong guy!” said scoring guard Zhu Yanchao.

“If we believe in what we do, then there’s no big deal to be afraid about”, said Tang Xiaobo, vice-captain of Journalism team, when asked about the prospect in this year’s School Cup basketball game.

“Actually we are still competitive even without Sun”,center-forward Cheng Yi showed a big confidence facing the absence of the one who used to lead them to win the final champion last year.

On the other side, Sun has a more different opinion, “I don’t think it’s the most important to win a certain championship or to show people that we are always the NO.1 team and unbeatable, in my view, playing basketball brings more than victory and failure, and personally speaking, more than losing weight to 80 kg  . Communicating and working with a couple of interesting guys shows me what basketball, even sports, means to us modern college folks.”

“Besides gardening and painting, I don’t know a thing”.——Monet

Lately there’s an art exhibition called “Master of Impression—Claude Monet” held in Shanghai, which contents most of Monet’s famous artworks like “Water Lilies”, “Wine of Bordeaux” and “House of Parliament” . Additionally some of  his collections and personal belongings are also on display.

By: Zhang Yao  110909221  Class 2

This art exhibition started at 8 March in K11 Art Space and it will last until 15 June. All the exhibits are provided by Marmottan Monet Museum, 52 paintings are divided into five themes, named as “Monet’s Friends”, “Monet’s Caricatures ”,  “Monet’s Voyage”, “Monet’s Garden”, “Monet’s Ultimate” based on a timeline of Monet’s life, displayed in two showrooms. The first showroom mainly includes his earlier works and landscape paintings, can be considered as a preparation for his Garden works. The second one mostly contains his later works created in Giverny when Monet reached the peak of his career, with flowers and water as the subjects. At the first weekend it has attracted more than 6,000 art lovers. The set decorator Margo thinks that Monet’s art has the power to make people slow down and feel it, approach it.

In the first part you can see some paintings from other impressionism masters. Like Eugene Boudin, Monet’s first teacher on oil painting, his “La Plage De Trouville” is on show. Also one of Renoir’s most famous paintings “Blonde Node” and some other portraits. These paintings used to be Monet’s private collections and also, serve as witness to his friendship. The second part is kind of interesting. People once knew Monet well for his caricatures, and the most famous one is “Wine of Bordeaux” showed on this exhibition. Additionally, Monet’s palette, pipe and glasses, all these personal belongings make this display area more meaningful. The third part, however, is consist of 14 landscape paintings created during his tour. This period plays an essential role in Monet’s painting career, he painted the same scene over and over in various lights and different times. In that, most of his paintings in this period are known to the world.

One part that really impressive in this exhibition is the series of water-lily and the Japanese bridge paintings created in Monet’s old age, his most depressed period. Monet spent the rest of his life at Giverny and his garden seems to bring a great inspiration. Especially the series of “The Japanese Bridge” on show. You can see him played with light and shade, changed canvas with the changes of light. So the cross of light and shade created flexible tone on these paintings. With the falling of eyesight, the use of color in Monet’s paintings are also getting deeper and bluer, leading to a unique style on his works.

The most interesting thing is,  people always can not recognize the motive of his bridge paintings immediately,  but after they look at the name and observe it again,people start to marvel at how amazing they are. Even you are familiar with artworks in some other way,  you may still experience a number of surprises and feel touched at the moment you facing them. So while the sun is shining,  while the spring breeze blowing,  it is time to find the beauty in Monet’s garden,  feel the art in your soul.

With The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug showing, The song I See Fire become popular around the world. Many people in China began to knew this talented singer, Ed sheeran. The interesting thing is lots of Chinese people already heard his song in 2011, but few of them know the song was made by Sheeran. In 2011, Sheeran’s music video Lego House was popular in China, people all liked it and shared it on the Internet. Somehow most of them said “Whoa! Ron turned to a singer now! And his voice is very nice! ”. They believed that this song was made by Rupert Grint, the one who act as Ron Wesley in Harry Potter.

By :Zhang Yarou 110909237 Class 2

It’s a funny mistake which result from the complicated story in the video. The video’s narrative at first portrays Grint as Sheeran, performing such activities as writing lyrics for the song on a pad of paper, lounging in his tour bus, and ultimately taking the stage for a cheering crowd. However, after Grint takes the stage and is immediately tackled by security, it is slowly revealed that Grint is actually a doppelganger of Sheeran and an obsessive fan, and that the events of the video were actually him stalking the real Ed Sheeran with increasing severity and mental instability (writing the song was actually transcribing the lyrics from the album cover, and lounging in the bus was him breaking into it), ending with Sheeran and Grint meeting as Grint is forcibly removed from a music venue and Sheeran comes out of an elevator.
Besides, Rupert and Sheeran looks so similar to Chinese people. So they strongly believes that this song was made by Rupert. The music video was so popular on the internet. Ironically, they even not know who is the real singer.
But to fans of Taylor Swift, Sheeran ‘s name may be more familiar. He made a guest appearance on Taylor Swift’s fourth album,Red. And he spent much of 2013 touring North America as the opening act for Taylor Swift’s Red Tour. They are amazing partner and have a great cooperation.

At the 2013 Grammy Awards, The A Team was nominated for Song of the Year. And he performed the song in duet with Elton John during the ceremony. They showed us a perfect cooperation and taken a different The A Team to us. Through the ceremony, more people in China knew Sheeran.
In 2014, Sheeran’s song I See Fire had a great success in China. Till that, much of people started to know him and search his name on google. Then they realized that Lego House was made by Sheeran rather than Rupert Grint. This talented singer-songwriter from British surprising Chinese with his amazing songs. His songs are mixed folk songs, pop , new wave and hip hop beast. It makes his songs so touching. And his voice just like your love whisper to you. No wonder people will like his songs. There is no question that he will become a new super star in the future. We are looking forward to more great songs from him.
