Their use in ancient China is attested in the Huainanzi , a collection of essays compiled before 139 BCE. Following this early example, weathervanes in classical antiquity often assumed the form of animals and mythological beings – often deifications of the four compass winds – traditions that carried on in Europe long past the fall of Rome.

Chris from Beijing wasn't able to comment (Animal Person is blocked in China) but he did write me to say he looks forward to Jonathan Safran Foer's sequel to Eating Animals. Compassion, as most people define it, is virtuous, but it smacks of mercy, which screams subjection. Not Eating Animals. That has to be good, I tell myself.

This year will be tough on many birds as further mudflat destruction to construct factories in China means that they may not be able to feed in areas that they have known in the past. We receive some beautiful photos from China of individually marked shorebirds on migration each year as they travel through the Flyway. Wicked, right?

For the Chinese New Year 2022 holidays, my girlfriend and I decided to visit the remote areas of Guangxi in the South of China, at the border to Vietnam. We jumped into our rented SUV Jeep Compass for a trip of 6 days. At that time, China was strictly applying the zero COVID-19 policy. On February 3, our plane landed in Nanning.
