For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community.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 The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date.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.

Man builds small plane in memory of his father

A resident of Changchun city, Northeast China's Jilin province, has built a small plane in memory of his late father who had been a pilot for 29 years.

Yang Shijun, 43, spent about 100,000 yuan ($16,000) over one year in building the plane which he has named after his father, Jinhai.

It has a range of 120 kilometers an hour and a cruising speed of 80 kilometers an hour, and Yang said he plans to conduct a test flight on his father's birthday in September.
