Print: $19.96 Download: $9.99 Dairen was Japan's first colonial city in Machuria. It was a foothold for the Empire's plans of expansion in and conquest of China. But the prosperity of the 1930s was not shared by all of the colony's citizens. "Blue Sky Red Tears" follows the life of Lin Baixue. Born from a secret affair between a high ranking Japanese official and his Manchurian Chinese housemaid, Baixue struggles to find her identity within two societies that each view her as an outcast. As she comes of age, the secrets in her household continue to mount. Through her misery, Baixue dreams of a life in Japan on the eve a war that will envelop all of Asia. This historically detailed novel is currently banned from reading and distribution in China. It is not a political book and, in fact, details many Japanese war crimes against the Chinese. However, the subject matter is too sensitive for governmental censors.

Download: $9.99 110 Years of History in Images and Geography (1898-2008). Perhaps only remembered now as an item of historical trivia, the city of Dalian had a profound geo-political effect on the shape of our modern world. The former capital of Manchuria, it was a cornerstone of international territorial struggles in Asia for nearly a century. As the gateway to Russia, Korea, and China, the strategic port of Dalian was where many key battles were fought and other far-reaching decisions made. This digital map (.kml)* collection was compiled exclusively by SongLi from extensive research over several years, and remains an ongoing historical preservation project. Original Japanese geographic surveys (1906, 1912, 1913, 1921, 1933, and 1936) and picture postcards (1905-1944) have been translated and matched with current Chinese maps, satellite images, and SongLi's own personal photography (2002-2008). Supplemental data was based on Russian Urban Planning Records (1898 and 1903). (*) Requires free Google Earth software to view.

Download: $50.00 Because of the overwhelming popularity and demand for Discover Dalian tours, SongLi has created a selection of self-guided packages. A perfect option for anyone who has a spirit of independent adventure but does not know how to get around in Dalian. This tour package gives travelers all the details needed to navigate around Dalian. However, the format is not strictly step-by-step, as with the Self-Guided system. It has a more open structure as a result, outlining all landmarks, travel routes, and a suggested course, but allowing visitors more flexibility.
The city of Dalian has always had secrets. Its colonization and occupation brought external cultures and languages to the area. British, Russian, and Japanese dominated the region for nearly a century. Yet supernatural tales have survived here for a century. This information was collected from oral sources, and lacks documentation. No claims are made to the validity or authenticity of any story. It is presented here for entertainment purposes only.
