Banks for the memories
Toronto-based author Yiming Ma's debut work straddles the line between novel and short-story collection, as he knits the tales of a dozen or more viewpoint characters into one overarching narrative in which a future People's Republic of China has taken over the entire world. Threaded throughout that story of conquest is the sci-fi concept of a brain implant, Mindbank, that allows individuals to upload and download memories. The basic conceit Ma employs here is that every story in this book is in fact a banned memory file, with the framing device of an unknown custodian exploring each story while he waits for the government to notice their illicit nature and whisk him away to a re-education camp. These files include the memory of a would-be author trying to write the last great novel before 'Memory Epics' completely replace writing as an art form, but getting caught up in an escaped plague from a nearby biotech lab. And the layered memories of one Japanese man's experiences in a fiery wartime Holocaust, whose experiences alternate with the Chinese memory artisans working a century later to alter and rework the story to get it past government censors for public release. Emma Norman photo Yiming Ma's powerful debut contemplates how social divisions serve the purpose of the oppressing government. Some stories span the period 'before the war,' anywhere from Mao Zedong's 1960s Cultural Revolution to the present day. Others are from the war period itself and others still take place decades or centuries after the planet-spanning iron rule of the Qin Empire is firmly in place. The viewpoint characters are all Chinese in origin, but range from mainlanders to immigrant families that have become more culturally American. Race and class are important throughout this work. Is one connected to the Party or not? Is one Chinese-born or foreign-born? Is one yellow, black, brown or white? While Japanese, white Americans, and Black Americans never serve as viewpoint characters, their stories are key to understanding the full picture of this future oppressive society. Ma is clearly always thinking about how social division serves the purposes of the oppressing government, even though he rarely states it explicitly. One of the most prescient tales centres on the Gaokao, China's real-life national university entrance exam. This single standardized test can have a profound effect on a young person's future, usually seeing them study obsessively for years. However, when future technology allows knowledge to be acquired through a simple memory download, the form of the Gaokao changes to a horrific test of grit: examinees are transported to a virtual desert and are tasked to trek for days or weeks until the simulated thirst, pain and injury finally break them. Tellingly, the test is presented as meritocratic, but the reader finds out it is blatantly rigged against test-takers of certain backgrounds, with the protagonist discovering the test has removed one of his legs prior to the start of the race. The most prominent theme, reinforced by the framing story, is the Orwellian idea of controlling the flow of information to control the populace. Mindbanks, initially an assistive technology, grow over the decades to replace all mass-market entertainment and all social media, and ultimately subsume the social credit system as human thoughts and memories become literally searchable and citizens' subversive thoughts are inevitably exposed to the Party. George Orwell's 1984 showed, through the experiences of one character, how all the different pieces of a government machine could squeeze out any hope of individual liberty or resistance. These Memories Do Not Belong to Us shows those elements of oppression being assembled, bit by bit, across decades and centuries, squeezing the noose tighter, pushing the tendrils of surveillance into ever smaller recesses of individual lives. The content of this book seems timely, but it's actually timeless. At any point in the last decade readers would have a touchpoint — today it's ICE rounding people up into American concentration camps, before that Russia's blatant state media spin on its invasion of Ukraine, or the Chinese government's efforts to smother the Hong Kong protests, or still yet the fizzling out of the Arab Spring. When is autocracy not on the rise somewhere or other? These Memories Do Not Belong to Us Yiming Ma's deft, layered commentary on how democracy dies is unfortunately only too relevant. This may be one of the most important books published this year. Joel Boyce is a Winnipeg writer and educator.

Michelle Yeoh brings Chinese blockbuster ‘Ne Zha 2' to life in English dub
When Michelle Yeoh first saw 'Ne Zha 2' in Hong Kong, she walked away dreaming about a dubbed version. The Chinese blockbuster, which this year became the highest-grossing animated film of all time with over $2.2 billion in ticket sales, had seemed to her like an ideal movie for a global, all-ages audience. But even she, who had the benefit of knowing Mandarin, was having trouble keeping up with the subtitles and all the spectacular things happening on screen. How would a kid stand a chance? The Oscar winner, who is fluent in English, Malay and Cantonese, wasn't alone in thinking a dub was a good idea. The film studio A24 was already making plans to broaden the audience with an English-language version in collaboration with CMC Pictures. Not too long after, Yeoh got a call asking if she wanted to voice Ne Zha's mother, Lady Yin. Her response? 'Hell yes,' she told The Associated Press in a recent interview. The English-language dub opens in over 2,500 North American theaters on Aug. 22. The film tells the story of a rebellious little child, Ne Zha, born as the reincarnation of a demon to mortal parents, who is out to prove his fate is not predetermined. In the first film, he sacrifices himself. In the second, he's put to the test to try to save his friend and his village. Don't worry if you haven't seen the first either — the sequel tells the audience everything they need to know. And while this character might be new to American audiences, the mythology is well known in China. Yeoh grew up watching various TV and movie versions, but had never seen it done so vividly. The making of 'Ne Zha 2' took five years and required the work of some 4,000 people from 138 Chinese animation companies. The finished film, which runs an epic 143 minutes, includes 2,400 animation shots and 1,900 special effects shots. 'I think the director and his amazing team, they pushed all the boundaries,' Yeoh said. 'They created this magical world that I hadn't seen to this level of superb animation before. The intricacies are mind-blowing.' Yeoh also put her stamp of approval on the translation, which she admits is a tricky art. 'With translation, a lot of the times the nuances are lost, right? Because also you have to sync and find the right number of words to say the same thing. And with the Chinese language, especially with the folklores and things like that, the way they say it is very poetic as well. So it is not easy,' she said. 'I think they struck a very good balance of not making it too classical, but also more contemporary.' North American audiences already showed interest in 'Ne Zha 2″ earlier this year, when the subtitled version earned over $20 million. Some Chinese communities in the U.S. even rented theaters to screen the film. Now, Yeoh believes that the English version will help it resonate globally. 'It's such a universal language of family, of love, of the underdog, of someone who's ostracized, misunderstood just because you're born different,' Yeoh said. 'It immerses you into our culture. And it's such a beautiful way to cross that bridge.'

Create Account Kamimura, a former member of a Japanese boy group named ONE N' ONLY, was arrested in the southern Chinese city in March. In the same month, his contract was terminated due to a serious compliance violation. In April, he pleaded not guilty. He allegedly touched the interpreter's thigh repeatedly during a celebratory dinner at a restaurant. During the trial last month, the interpreter testified through a live video link that Kamimura had invited her to a bathroom elsewhere. After she dismissed the request and told him she had a boyfriend, Kamimura continued to touch her thigh, she said. The defense argued the interpreter exaggerated her claims and the alleged bathroom invitation might not have been based on improper motives.

Judge Peter Yu handed down the conviction Wednesday, saying Kamimura touched the intrepreter in a caressing nature that implicitly carried a sexual undertone and had indecent intent. 'The defendant's acts are obviously disrespectful toward women,' Yu said. 'Such behaviour should be condemned.' In pleading for a lesser penalty, the defense said Kamimura previously had a promising future and paid a heavy price. After the verdict was announced, a few of Kamimura's fans wept in the courtroom. But Kamimura looked relieved and hugged his courtroom translator when the judge issued a fine of 15,000 Hong Kong dollars (about $1,900) and no prison term. The maximum penalty for the charge is 10 years of imprisonment. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. The singer's supporters, including some from Japan and mainland China, formed long lines inside the court building to secure a seat in the main courtroom before the hearing. After the hearing, they waited outside to see Kamimura, who did not speak before leaving in a car. Others from mainland China who attended said they were not fans but wanted to learn more about the case, especially after seeing criticism of the female interpreter online. University student Betty Zhong from the Chinese city of Shenzhen said she was not a Kamimura fan but attended the court hearings in Hong Kong because a friend likes the J-pop idol and she wanted to know what happened. She said she was surprised Kamimura was charged during a visit to Hong Kong. 'News reports are not so comprehensive. When I come here, I can understand it holistically and the explanations from both sides,' she said. Kamimura also is an actor who appeared in several TV dramas including the boys' love series 'Our Youth' and the popular drama 'Ossan's Love Returns.' Love concerts, but can't make it to the venue?
