For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community. This website is maintained sporadically, people may still join and membership is still open, but if you are a spammer, stay away. The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date. There are plans to make it more useful for static information in the future. If anyone needs information about Changchun or China, you may post a message and it probably will get a response but not immediately.

Changchun Friends

a great way to get involved

  在今年9月28日的纽约电影节上,影片《少年派的奇幻漂流》举行了全球首映,而在此之前该片导演李安曾打趣说,他这部历时三年的新作撞上了业界最糟糕的四大“恶行“——水、小孩、动物,还有3D。

  Although we will discover…
