Beijing's Catch-22s: Real Life in the Capital of Contemporary China

At the start of the Lunar New Year, the China Seminar also begins its twenty-eighth year and welcomes to its speaker’s rostrum a young journalist from China. Lin Zhishen, also known as Frank Lin, has been a resident of Beijing for the last ten years and is a keen observer of the many dramatic changes in Beijing and throughout China. His subject should be of considerable appeal to all who are interested in everyday life in China.
