Shanghai is decked out for Christmas -but Dec. 25 is a workday like any other<\/strong> SHANGHAI — Chen Hangfeng doesn’t want to be the Grinch who stole Christmas and he’s certainly not a Scrooge character. He’s probably never heard of either of them, anyway. When he mentions Santa, he refers to him — politely — as “the old man.” <\/p>\n But Christmas in China really bugs him. <\/p>\n “It’s just an excuse to spend money and get loaded,” he scoffs.<\/p>\n Everywhere you go in downtown Shanghai the streets and stores are festooned with Christmas decorations. There’s tinsel and lights, gigantic fake Christmas trees, snowflakes and even Santa and his reindeer in front of one upscale mall. Close your eyes and you could almost be in Canada. <\/p>\n But this is China where there are only about 16 million Christians salted throughout the 1.3 billion population and Dec. 25 is a workday like any other. <\/p>\n Chen’s beef is that the only things about Christmas the Chinese have adopted are shopping and partying. <\/p>\n “Most people think anything from the West is good and they want to experience it,” the young artist says. “But they’ve taken (Christmas) from the Western culture in a bad way.” <\/p>\n Jiang Meiping, 51, is fairly blunt. Christmas means nothing to her. “I know it is a traditional holiday in the West and I can see lots of Christmas decorations around, but I don’t do anything special to celebrate it. <\/p>\n Jiang says the sales interest her, but that’s all. <\/p>\n “Compared with Christmas, most Chinese celebrate Chinese New Year. It’s our traditional festival, said Jiang. <\/p>\n Angela Wu, a post-graduate student and intern at Intel China, is working Christmas Day and afterwards plans “to play cards with my friends and do some shopping.” <\/p>\n “I think Christmas has become a way for shops to make money,” she says. “Most Christmas decorations in shops just show worship for foreign stuff without culture background.” <\/p>\n Artist Chen’s exhibition, “Christ MASS Production,” is displayed throughout the lobby of the Radisson Hotel in Pudong. At first glance, the pieces look like the kind of tasteful “designer” decorations you always see in hotels. But take a closer look at the scores of acrylic snowflakes resembling Chinese paper cuts and you see each one is created out of a different combination of designer logos. Chanel, Puma, Nike, Honda — you have to stare at them hard, but eventually they all pop out at you. It is the same with the tall acrylic Christmas tree at the centre of the exhibition and the smaller ones around the lobby. <\/p>\n “When I was in high school,” says Chen, 33, “I remember the cool kids in my class said they were going to have Christmas dinner. I didn’t even know what Christmas was.” <\/p>\n Every year since then it has become more pervasive around Shanghai. When he was a teen, there was “just a little bit of decoration and only in the so-called high-end areas.” <\/p>\n Now, half the restaurants and bars in Shanghai have jumped on the merry bandwagon, offering special “Christmas” dinners, mostly sans turkey and the trimmings. <\/p>\n Christmas carols are popular in China, too, but not just at this time of year, unfortunately. You hear them in malls as often in the summertime as now. <\/p>\n “On Christmas Eve, you won’t get a room in a karaoke place,” Chen predicts. Lots of older Chinese have caught the same Christmas spirit as the young and want to party on the 24th. <\/p>\n “They might sing Christmas songs,” Chen says, but not many. “Because they are in English it is hard for them.” <\/p>\n Chen is not totally jaded by Christmas, but only because he spent one Christmas in Carp, Ont., a little town near Ottawa, with his wife’s family. <\/p>\n “It was pretty peaceful, a family time,” he says. More like Chinese New Year, he reckons, than what Christmas has become in China. <\/p>\n Around the Radisson lobby are several large gift-wrapped boxes that are the second part of Chen’s exhibition. You look inside the gifts through a spy hole and see a short video he’s done on the real Chinese connection to Christmas. <\/p>\n He shot the video in a workshop in a village in Zhejiang Province where “Santa’s elves” were busy making the decorations to adorn Christmas trees around the Western world. One little elf is particularly memorable. He has bandages on almost every finger but he is still deftly wrapping strips of cut glass around a small globe to make one of those glitter-ball bulbs that catch the light so brilliantly on everyone’s trees. <\/p>\n With file from Jessie Zhou<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.nationalpost.com\/news\/story.html?id=184474<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u52a0\u62ff\u5927National Post\uff08\u300a\u56fd\u5bb6\u90ae\u62a5\u300b\uff0912\u670819\u65e5\u520a\u767b\u8be5\u62a5\u8bb0\u8005Aileen McCabe\u7684\u6587\u7ae0\uff0c\u9898\u76ee\u662fShanghai is decked out for Christmas -but Dec. 25 is a workday like any other\uff08\u4e0a\u6d77\u88c5\u626e\u4e00\u65b0\u8fce\u5723\u8bde\uff0c\u4f4612\u670825…
