中英文介绍
2015 Issue 6
Today, mental health is an issue discussed at the highest levels of government, but the mechanisms in place and social discourse alike are sorely in need of an update. Also, as the tattoo industry grows, consumers are looking for quality over quantity, something they can find in “Middle Ink-dom”. In “Game Theory” you can learn more about how China’s international needs are changing gaming, and “Unwed and Undefended” will take you into the harrowing world single moms face every day. This issue also has an in-depth interview with Hugo Award Winner Liu Cixin, where he tells us all about his newly-translated Dark Forrest, his views on science fiction, and the upcoming film for the Three-Body Problem. Along with all that, we host the news, views, and issues you’ve come to expect from us here at The World of Chinese.

COVER STORY
The Brain in Pain
墙与路：聚焦精神健康问题
Solving the evolving troubles endemic in China’s mental health care system will involve a great deal of hard work. You’ve got new diagnoses on the rise, health care workers on the brink, and an underused, over-regulated private option that can’t seem to get off the ground. The solutions are everywhere, but none of them are easy.

Features:
Game Theory
入乡随俗的电子游戏
Skeletons vanish, snipers get girlfriends, and warriors don spiked armor. The US and China both have hundreds of millions of gamers on phones and PCs alike, so developers are increasingly localizing their games in weird and creative ways for their global market.

Unwed and Undefended
婚姻是生娃的必经之路吗？
If you don’t want or have a husband, the fortress of policy preventing single women from having and caring for their children can seem insurmountable, and while this byzantine nightmare of harassment and bureaucracy shows few signs of slowing, neither do the hardworking women who just want their children to have a decent start in life

The Middle Ink-dom
身上锦绣，针底风流：刺青艺术在中国
Get an inkling of the foundations of China’s tattoo culture. No longer the province of shady characters on street corners, skin art is increasingly making its way into the homes and onto the bodies of China’s middle class. China has quantity now, but can it get the quality of ink it needs?

Gallery:
Desperate Faces
至亲至疏夫妻
Yang Chongqing experiments with moments and expressions in his powerful “Couple Faces” series where he tries to look behind the veil of perception. His color and style are unique and the works themselves are haunting.

Kaleidoscope
Wine with the Hakka
一碗米酒，一脉乡情
Journey to the warmth of China’s south to cook up some rice wine with the Hakka of Zhixi village in Fujian Province. If you’re trying to get to Zhixi and you can’t smell the aroma of freshly brewed rice wine, you’re probably going in the wrong direction. For these kind people, rice wine is a way of life.

On the Road
Road to Winter
冬奥会到来之前张家口最后的寂静
You may have heard about Zhangjiakou recently, what with the Winter Olympics announcement and all. But, now is the time to head north, where the lowlands of Beijing meet the plains of Inner Mongolia for empty streets, old walls, and the drive of a lifetime. Get there before the Olympics do.

Made in China
Spare Change and Wishes
每一枚硬币都是一个愿望
How far would you go for good luck? Would you hit a turtle in the head with a coin? Chuck some small change at an ancient mummy? We take a look at why people throw money into fountains in China, a trip that takes us from the Fontana di Trevi to the Ming Tombs outside Beijing.

Pioneer
Liu Cixin, China’s Sci-fi Master
对话刘慈欣
We speak with the hottest name in science fiction—fresh off a Hugo Award win and the English release of Dark Forest. He tells us about his Golden Age inspirations, his first attempt at writing, and his thoughts about the upcoming film.

Social Chinese
How to Break a Heart
一别两宽，好聚好散

Zoetrope
Wolf Totem
《狼图腾》
The book broke records and hearts, but can the movie keep that momentum going? Carlos Ottery takes a look at the failings of this Inner Mongolian tale of ethnic minorities and political turmoil and tries to discover why Wolf Totem seems to have lost its bite.
