I found some great blog posts. Both of them I found through Danwei. The first is about a pamphlet from the eighties right after China began to make reforms under Deng Xiaoping and open up. The pamphlet is all about decadent music from Hong Kong, Taiwan, and America. There is a translation of some good bits from the pamphlet and a link to a PDF version of the original here.

I found a link to a great blog -- Zhong-Mei -- by an American living in China through Danwei, the same site mentioned in the above paragraph. The blogger Zhong-Mei translated a magazine article from tanhuang chunqiu about the Beginning of the Red Guards and the Cultural Revolution in 1966. A very interesting article, translated very nicely. Here is the Danwei link.
