Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sporting Notes in the Far East I am no hand as an Author; but this little volume compiled from my shooting journal, is penned for the use of kindred sport-men in the Service, as a "Guide" to portions of the Coast shooting on the China Station. The greater part is written from my own experiences during three years spent in Far East, with a few additional notes kindly supplied by brother officers. I am in hopes, from the information contained, that on a ship going to a strange port, it will partially obviate all the valuable time lost, and the labour expended, in looking for places where game is likely to be found; which spots, in a great many cases, are only discovered a day or two before the vessel sails and when too late! To a few of the discriptions of the several places I have attached a small map, depicting the most probable ground on which to find sport. Again, as at some harbours little incidents have occasionally occurred which might prove interesting to some readers, I have related them at the end of the shooting directions for those places.

Book Synopsis Reorienting Chinese Stars in Global Polyphonic Networks by : Dorothy Wai Sim Lau
Download or read book Reorienting Chinese Stars in Global Polyphonic Networks written by Dorothy Wai Sim Lau and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-03-08 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph offers a cutting edge perspective on the study of Chinese film stars by advancing a “linguaphonic” model, moving away from a conceptualization of transnational Chinese stardom reliant on the centrality of either action or body. It encompasses a selection of individual personalities from the most iconic Bruce Lee, Michelle Yeoh, and Maggie Cheung to the not-yet-full-fledged Takeshi Kaneshiro, Jay Chou, and Tang Wei to the newest Fan Binging, Liu Yifei, Wen Ming-Na, and Sammi Cheng who are exemplary to the star-making practices in the designated sites of articulations. This volume notably pivots on specific phonic modalities – spoken forms of tongues, manners of enunciation, styles of vocalization -- as means to mine ethnic and ideological underpinnings of Chinese stardom. By indicating a methodological shift from the visual-based to aural-based vectors, it asserts the phonic as a legitimate bearing that can generate novel vigor in the reimagination of Chineseness. By exhausting the critical affordability of the phonic, this book unravels the polemics of visuality and aurality, body and voice, as well as onscreen personae and offscreen existence, remapping the contours of the ethnic fame-making in the global mediascape.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gleanings From Fifty Years in China It was while engaged in his earlier trips on the Upper Yangtse that Mr. Little collected material for the inter esting book (published in 1888) entitled Through the Yangtse Gorges, which established his reputation as a graphic and sympathetic writer on China. This was followed some years later (1901) by Mount Omi and Beyond, which introduced us to the little-known region of Szechuan on the Thibetan Border and to a phase of Chinese life, untouched as yet by foreign intercourse, which his linguistic acquirements and experience enabled him to depict with the perception and sense of humour that had delighted his readers in the previous work.

Book Synopsis Chinese Turkestan by : Percy W. Church
Download or read book Chinese Turkestan written by Percy W. Church and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-09 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chinese Turkestan: With Caravan and Rifle We decided on our somewhat roundabout route partly to avoid the above difficulty and partly because we both wished to revisit Kashmir, a country which when once known has an extra ordinary attraction for most people. There is, of course, a very much more simple and direct route from England than the one we took. This I pro pose to describe further on, and at the same time to give some hints as to which part of the country I consider best worth visiting from a shooting point of view, with notes as to distances, game to be found, best time of year, and anything else which I think may be of service. Recently Central Asia has been a good deal written about, but chiefly from scientific or political points of view. These I have left alone, knowing but little of the former, and considering that the latter does not come into the province of what is merely a journal of travel and sport. It is perhaps rather a large order to give a description of the sport to be got in so big a district, but as the country is practically new to sportsmen I may be excused for my attempt. I have travelled and shot over a good deal of it myself, and have in addition collected much information from natives; this, of course, cannot always be implicitly relied upon.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Round the World in Six Months After my return from making the Tour of the World, I almost daily received letters from friends and acquaintances, containing enquiries on the subject of my travels, and asking for hints.

This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from With Boat and Gun in the Yangtze Valley One reason why the foreigner does not make to-day the huge bags of yore may possibly be that he does not put in that amount of hard work and enthusiasm which characterized the shooters of days gone by. There is a regrettable apathy born of the luxury inseparable from a shooting trip now-a-days undreamt of in the past. But the most despond'ent of those who bewail that we are fast coming to the end of our shooting tether may take heart of grace from the knowledge that game has been in most abundant supply all the past season, and that prices on the average have seldom been more reasonable. The ground and ying game of this favoured valley is plentiful enough, and good bags will for a long time yet result from assiduous and intelligent work. Places like Wuhu, Tatung and Tungliu, amongst many others, must ever remain sanctuaries until such time as the expenses attendant upon reaching them shall be very considerably lessened, while no amount of legitimate shooting can or will ever make any diminution in the countless numbers Of the migratory birds, be they Wildfowl, woodcocks or snipes, whose close season Nature herself has determined and no mortal can hasten or retard, or set aside. Naturally enough there would be much more shooting in what may be termed the houseboat radius were the municipally called close season for partridges, pheasants and quail not so wilfully and obviously disregarded. There are, unfortunately, people who eat, and who, worse still, glory in eating, game right through the summer, while the mail and coast steamers carry away birds in thousands all the year round. A betterment worth working for would be to get the Chinese Government to make the export of game during certain times of the year punishable by law, and to seek the co-operation of the French and International Municipal Councils and the Agents of the several steam ship lines to carry that law, as far as they were able, into effect. The disease is here we wait for the physician. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
