This evening will see the second week of the Shanghai International Literary Festival kicking off down at M on the Bund. Events will continue across the weekend and throughout the week, providing plenty of opportunities to see a whole host of great writers and performers. Ticket details can be found here as can the full line-up (which we suggest you check - there's far too much going on for us to cover it all in one post!). Below are just some of the highlights you can expect to see:

Or at least on one Chinese song, written about a migrant worker's yearning to return home to see his parents:

Chinese online hit "I Wanna Go Home, Mom and Dad" about migrant workers is expected to end Hollywood director Mel Gibson's next movie.

The song is supposedly going to be used—at least partially in Chinese—in Gibson's upcoming film project. We were unable to find out what this film is called in English, but from this Chinese report, it seems to be called 《卡衣》(Ka Yi) in Chinese and is based on a South African novel. In it, there's a character that leaves home for the big city and then, after many years, becomes the mayor of that city. We're not really up on South African literature, but if someone knows what novel this is, please leave a comment or email. The following are the lyrics to the song:

Gothamist gets us started with "Law & Order", muppet style. Oh, you know what isn't a crime? Taking pictures on the MTA. So, why are cops stopping photographers? In other Gotham crime, a group of Asian men was attacked by a group of white guys in Queens. Finally, Boy George reports for his court mandated community service. Sweet.
