Who'll buy my cabbages?

A farmer looks at piles of unsold cabbages at Shanghai's Jiangqiao Wholesale Market yesterday. There was a bumper harvest of cabbages in the city and neighboring regions this autumn thanks to the good weather. However, that was not good news for growers as the oversupply has resulted in falling prices and disappearing profits. With cabbages selling at just 7 or 8 yuan (US$1.26) for a sack, growers are not able to make enough money to even cover the cost of production.

上海田子坊弄堂街道 上海是一個有趣的城市. 經過了好幾年之後, 重新回到上海待了兩天. 感覺上, 這個城市又蛻變了很多, 從遠本的五條地鐵, 現再增加到十一條, 還有兩條仍在建. 聽說上海的地鐵總里程, 已經要居全世界數一數二的位置. 想當然, 這都是拜世博會之賜. 有了空閒, 去了一趟田子坊. 喜歡的不是在那裏所賣的所謂的藝術家設計產品. 我喜歡的是弄堂裏, 隨處可見的露天咖啡座. 非常的悠閒, 如果你曾到過上海新天地那樣的石庫門建築而喜歡那樣的感覺, 那麼我強力推薦這個地方是一定要去的....個人評鑑, 遠勝於新天地!!! www.tianzifang.cn/

Included in the development, due to be built in 2014, are two skyscrapers nearly three times the height of the nearby historic Bund buildings. The buildings will be offices and hotels, SOHO said yesterday. Many local residents say the high-rises are out of keeping with the Western-style historic buildings on the Bund that have long been an icon of the city. Details of the plan posted on Weibo.com last Friday by SOHO have been re-tweeted more than 1,000 times on the Website and received around 400 comments, mostly criticism. "These kind of modern buildings can be built in any other places in Shanghai but not on the Bund because they damage the overall atmosphere of the area in both the height and the architectural styl...
