ive been a bit of a stranger lately so maybe this is already been discusssed...but i was so happy to see this under "latest news" when i logged back into the cpod! Has it been discussed on a N&F yet and i missed it??

I can't wait to hear this...I think a new culture show is long overdue and I'm really excited to hear what Jenny has in store for us.

Urbandweller -

There's a sneaky mention of it at the end of this week's news and features...

Will Jenny introduce us to 60 Years of New China like suggested elsewhere? ( http://twtpoll.com/2p1nov)

60 years of New China?

15 years maximum: 1994 ~ 2009.

The 45 years before 1994 will not be mentioned anyway.

What's so specific about 1994 in China? Is this just to use the same numbers as in 1949 (like 1948 - 1984)??

Perhaps referring to 1994's fiscal reforms?

Jenny is quite the culture vulture and was well able to hold her own when paired with the inimitable Aric. Dedicated, solid and dignified and a barometer of good taste, the Jenny Show will run and run...

Hi Joachim

A lot of people point to 1994 as the year when Shanghai really started to take off economically. But I have to agree, I find that date a bit arbitrary. The more conventional starting point for the modern history of the PRC is 1978, when the 改革开放 reform and opening really got going. Interestingly, many of the reforms had been tried out of desperation at a local level in the years before 1978, but they were still considered dangerously unorthodox.
