imaginedongbei.org is a public Engagement Project based on my PhD research. Many thanks for the support from @CamUniEngage and help from my supervisor Prof. François Penz and colleagues at @arch_cambridge
Our website is formally launched! Imagine Dongbei (imaginedongbei.org) is an interactive mapping project sourcing historical footage of Northeast China (Manchuria) as cultural references for the locational imagination of contemporary Dongbei.

Compared to the substantial historical investigations in the same book, my examination of Manchuria's portrayal through films is rather a light touch. Nevertheless, I hope it can still offer a unique perspective on East Asian modern wartime culture.

China historians: some hopeful news. I was able to visit the new First Historical Archive today. It’s true that you need a Chinese phone number to make an appointment online, but the new facility is wonderful. – at Beijing, People's Republic of China

In Shenyang’s old town, some alleys serve their particular functions. In this ‘Chinese painting&calligraphy’ alley, shopfronts added sloping eaves and grey wall tiles to mimic traditional archi features. The guy sitting outside was engraving stone seals. #myfieldfootage

just realised... interestingly the hotel opposite the 'traditional' painting&calligraphy stationary shops got a European-ish porch in contrast... though all the ground facades were the add-on decors to those Khrushchyovka residential blocks...

沈阳同泽女中, est. 1928 by Chang Hsueh-liang to promote female education in Manchuria. The main building, completed in 1929, was designed by Yang Tingbao in a modernised Catholic style. Chang invited Wang Jiexian back from Edinburgh to be its first headmaster #myfieldfootage
