‘The castle in the summer haze‘ from the book “The Silent Traveller in Edinburgh” (1948) by Chinese poet, author and painter Chiang Yee (1903–1977)
Self-styled "The Silent Traveller", Yee moved to London in 1933 with the hopes of getting a Master's Degree at the London School of Economics and then return to China. At the time he was 30 years old and had left his wife and four children under the care of his brother.
During this time, he taught Chinese at the School of Oriental Studies and later worked at the Wellcome Museum. In 1937 he published his first travel book. Titled “The Silent Traveller: A Chinese Artist in Lakeland,” the work was well-received and several more followed. London, the Yorkshire Dales and Oxford were all printed during the war (even with paper shortages) and, in 1939, he published “The Silent Traveller in War Time.”
Post-war he traveled further afield – Oxford (1944) first but then Edinburgh (1948), New York (1950), Dublin (1953), Paris (1956), Boston (1959), San Francesco (1963) and Japan (1972). His work was hugely popular and he served as an influential cultural ambassador of China to the west.
In addition to his travel works, Yee also collaborated on a Chinese cookbook, painted landscapes, wrote on Chinese calligraphy, designed sets and costumes for the Royal Ballet and even wrote and illustrated books for children.
In 1955 he moved to the United States where he lectured at Columbia University. He died in 1977 while in China.
Last year, his former home in Oxford was honoured with a blue plaque. He is one of only a few ethnic minority figures to be recognised by English Heritage.

This July, The Fool Theatre 愚者剧场 presents Rock Guardians of the Sea - a brand new Chinese musical based on the legends of Pulau Ubin!
See through the eyes of an ordinary school student Wang Cai - a boy who sees history and heritage as homework and grades. His attitude takes a sharp turn after he is warped into the mythical landscape where he comes face to face to the legendary characters he read in books. Perfect for school-going kids, the musical will open their eyes (and ears) to the significance of Pulau Ubin’s forgotten stories and our modern connections to local history and heritage. And yes, it comes with English surtitles. 😁 Visit www.sistic.com.sg/events/rock0719 for tickets.

Bichot家族在勃根的歷史超過六個世紀,自1831年開始葡萄酒事業,皆是父子相傳,目前已經是第六代經營。因為一開始沒有以經營者命名行銷,長久以來不重視英語系國家的評論家,曾經有人在關於布根地的刊物上給予他過低的評價,自此之後Albert Bichot便刻意迴避媒體等等原因使得過去的他像沈睡的巨人般較不被大眾認識。後來改變經營方式,栽種設備,行銷手法,也漸漸展現他有能力釀造出精緻優質高階紅白酒。由Montrachet Grand Cru年年上漲的價格就可發現他們改變後的成效。當晚的Albert Bichot Montrachet Grand Cru果然表現不俗,不吝嗇地在杯中展現撲鼻的香氣,水梨、蘆筍、奶油誘人芬芳,入口後細緻的桶味、礦石風味和優雅的酸度達到舒服的平衡,雖說陳年後能展現更豐富多元的層次,天時地利人和把握時機享受Montrachet的青春可愛也未嘗不可!

T̥ͦh̥ͦe̥ͦ Bichot family has made burgundy its home for over six centuries. In 1983, Bichot had its start in the wine business by founding a merchant house. The family heritage has been perpetuated from father to son since then, and it is currently managed by the sixth generation. The branding has historically showcased the names of the individual domains rather than the owners of the domains, but eventually they started using the Bichot name discreetly. They have overlooked many of the English language opinion makers, which explains why they are not as well known as they could be. The lack of focus on English opinion makers stems from the fact that there were some books written about burgundy which portrayed Bichot as an underachiever. For all these reasons, Albert Bichot was like a sleeping giant. Later on, they improved their vinification equipment, marketing strategy and business model to show they are also capable of making fine wine. You can tell the results by the increasing price of Montrachet Grand Cru. That night, it surely left a lasting impression on all of us. Abundant pear, asparagus, cream smell in nose. Alluring and fragrant! Fine minerality, woody, and elegant acidity reached to a perfect balance in mouth. We can expect more complexity after aging but at the right time and with the right company, it was very nice to enjoy the beauty and youth of Albert Bichot Montrachet GC 2011!
