Summer update

Jakob Becker
Jakob Becker1 min Lesezeit

Dear all,

I hope everyone had a lovely summer break!
In this update I would firstly like to thank all the people that have reached out to me after receiving the books. I had insightful phone calls and correspondence with a lot of people who have seen the China of the 80s, 90s and 2000s first hand and have tols me about their experience back then, which has been very enlightening to me.

Secondly, the project China 1961-2021 can now be reached under https://www.tracesofchange.de where I also openend up a little time travel section and a webshop. Feel free to have a look!

Furthermore, this year I will have another two exhibitions in the Confucius Insitute Heidelberg (starting on 25 September 2 pm) and in the Confucius Institute Leipzig (vernissage is on 5 November at 5 pm) showing the historic photographs. So whoever is around and interested is most warmly invited to come.

What may also be of interest to some is the following article that was published on NeoCha, available in English and Chinese:

Best regards,
Jakob

12/6/21 - Dear crowd, There is good news and bad news....

Dear crowd,

There is good news and bad news. Good news is, we will print soon (yaaaay!). Bad news is, we wanted to be done printing already (uhhhh -.-). The delay has the following pandemic-related reasons: First, the translator got very sick. Second, the printing house had difficulties guaranteeing there is enough paper in stock, as the supply chains are still broken. They managed to reserve paper for me now, which ensures that we can print. This all threw us back several weeks, which means:
Submission of the final file will be next week, printing will take place in January, in February I will receive the books and start shipping. I am very sorry for the delay. Things just happened the way they happened.

Hope you are all safe and sound. If you have any further questions, please get in touch with me directly.

Best wishes,
Jakob
