Dear Friends,
Are our appearances meant to define our identities, or vice-versa? There is a feminine touch in our Focus this month entitled “My Face, My Self”. Contributors share their approach on the relation between identity and appearance through aesthetic concepts: Aimee Hsu is a painter and a make-up artist, she describes the art of colors in “My Face, the canvas of my life”. Aurelie Kernaleguen provides us with a report on eyelid surgery in Taiwan. Wen-chun Kuan shares with us her intimate journey into self-photography. Alice Lin wonders about the mathematical equation of beauty and how appearances can be tricky when it comes to the overseas Asian youngsters today.
As you know, eRenlai uploades multimedia features on a regular basis; don’t forget to check our weekly commentary on the homepage. In our March editorials, watch short videos brought back from a village in Jiangxi Province: start with Good morning Changxi village! or The Blacksmith.
Also read and watch an exclusive interview with 92-year-old Spanish Jesuit priest Fr Andres Diaz de Rabago, who has lived in China, the Philippines, East Timor and Taiwan. Other videos, flash animations and articles broach subjects such as language education and Buddhist Master Sheng Yen who passed away in January.
Finally, we would like to thank you for your encouragements and the positive feedbacks we have received regarding eRenlai’s new layout. Nevertheless, we know that the new version has had some technical problems and we apologize for it. If you still encounter troubles in entering or opening our website pages, you can either try clearing your browser cache or pressing F5 to refresh your browser.
