Lamb of God

Article Abstract:

Samuel Lamb's house church in Guangzhou, China is one of thousands of illegal, unregistered churches in China. The Chinese government is concerned about the potential of religion to undermine adherence to state policy, but it appears to tacitly accept these churches. Lamb's congregation claims 1,000 members and is one of the largest house churches in the city. Lamb states that he is not anti-government but acknowledges that he and his followers obey God before obeying the Chinese government.

The storyteller

Article Abstract:

Louis Cha, writer of martial-arts epics, is the most popular author in Asia. Sales approach 100 million. He has not written a novel since 1972, although he founded and has written for a daily Hong Kong newspaper and has published a series of scholarly books on Chinese history and culture. Scholars, critics, and Cha himself attribute his books' success to good storytelling and their being steeped in Chinese culture. At age 72, he contemplates writing a history of China or a historical novel.

Rooms without a view

Article Abstract:

The Hotel Bela Vista in Macau is a Victorian relic which has been restored to its traditional splendor complete with high ceilings, polished floors and slow turning fans. The Bela Vista has only eight suites and one restaurant and caters to guests who simply want to relax. The property was in disrepair when the Mandarin Oriental Group of Hong Kong purchased and refurbished it. Today the company operates the Bela Vista as a type of boutique showpiece.
