Will old rockers' concert in Beijing be the day the music dies?

By Tian Wei

Cui Jian, the godfather of China's rock'n'roll, was labeled as a threat to social stability for decades, and so denied the possibility of public concerts.
It was such a long and painstaking process that when he was asked what his dreams were, he said: performing publicly in the Chinese capital, watching the Rolling Stones perform, and singing on the same stage with them.
Fortunately, things have changed. Cui managed to realize all of three of his ambitions 20 years after he became a household name in China.

Over the years, the pure underground nature of China's rock'n'roll has changed dramatically.
This is well reflected by the fact that many of the country's rock legends are about to perform. ...

Sinking of South Korean warship another 'smoking gun?'

The term "smoking gun" first entered the vocabulary of international relations in 2002, when the Bush administration was trying to justify its planned invasion of Iraq. At that time the term referred to claimed evidence that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction.
After the invasion, of course, no such weapons were found. That's why we should be cautious of claims of another "smoking gun," this time in the Korean Peninsula. ...

以下是<<环球时报>>英文版对我进行的一次专访。虽然已经过去了一段时间，但是很多朋友还是善意地埋怨我：为什么不拿出来，和大家一起分享？批评的对，不应该这样“低调”和“沉默”，而是应该也渴望更多的交流。所以拿出来晒一晒。还竟然觉得很是有趣。因为一些事变了，一些事原地踏步，一些有了进展，一些事。。。有了不同于以前的看法和体会。

Chinese world cup dreams spur better soccer

By Tian Wei,  Global Times [23:28 July 11 2010]

I received a twitter message from a foreign journalist friend who went to South Africa to cover the World Cup. He wanted to know why when most of the sports reporters went home with their home teams, most of the Chinese journalists stayed in South Af­rica, despite the Chinese team never having even made it to the tournament.

I told him there were a bil­lion Chinese back home thirsty for any information about the World Cup! China has caught soccer fever for over a month, since the finals began. Fans even adjusted their schedules to accommodate matches that fell at 2:30 am Beijing time.
And that is nothing new for the country. ...

Strong will needed to escape Chinese soccer shame

By Tian Wei

Over the weekend, I had a long conversation with a soccer fan who has been following the sport for 40 years. When I asked his thoughts as to why both Brazil and Argentina, two of the most-admired teams, were kicked out at the quarterfinals, he gave many reasons, but concluded with, "Remember, the most important is that soccer is a beautiful game!"
I know he was referring to the unpredictability of match results and the rise and fall of dark horses and legends alike. But later when considering over his words, I felt like turning the question around. Soccer is a beautiful game, but which sport isn't?

For sure, "the beautiful game" has long been a slogan for soccer. ...

Asia still has motive to celebrate at World Cup

By Tian Wei

I was confused. Watching the Sumarais of Japan against the Danes: Is it an Asian team? Are you sure?
Speed, skill, precision and passion, words that were not traditionally associated with teams from our neighborhood suddenly become the most descriptive. As a result, they went into the Top 16 together with the warriors of South Korea.
None of this, though, should be considered a miracle. ...

US emerging as force to be reckoned with in world-class soccer

By Tian Wei

It was a reporting trip that I took seven years ago to the US that led to my fascination with soccer.
I was asked to follow Team USA in the FIFA Women's World Cup, held in the country that year. When I wandered into the RFK Stadium in Washington DC, frustrated by the uninspiring assignment, I was shocked. For a stadium large enough to hold 55,000 people, it was almost full.
It was only natural as a journalist to wonder where that country, well known for baseball, American football and basketball, was heading in the world of soccer. ...
