Hi all,
I'm pleased to inform you that China History Forum is effectively 5 years old. Today, we celebrate the 5th year anniversary ever since we were founded on 1st June 2004.
CHF has just effectively recovered from the hacking crisis of March 2009. I'm very delighted to know that many members still continue to come back to support CHF even after the hacking crisis. The hacking crisis had led to some form of decline in CHF, seen in decrease of traffic, because many google pages were dropped out after the hack. Also, many members became 'lost' or lose confidence as a result of the hack.
However, 2 months of re-work and re-vamp of CHF has proven to be effective in CHF. We manage to regain our staff man-power. Traffic has also rebounded back and is now continuing on an upward trend.
The forum continues to have various discussion activities and the staff team is planning further more activities.
Our upcoming plan includes:
1. Jinshi exam -something which we will be initiating in the next couple of weeks or months.
2. Re-work on China History Info site - the site might be re-designed and will host the articles written by CHF members
3. Enhancement of CHF security - we might be installing web firewall to help protect CHF against hacking
4. Re-activate our award system, which has stopped for quite some time.
We hope all members can continue to support CHF as this forum would not have been in place without you!
Thank you

Congratulations for everybody, from the founder GZ to the most recent member!
I am glad to tell that, simultaneously with this celebration, the Translation Poetry Workshop reaches its 40th weekly exercise. At the end of this week, we will have translated 39 poems from 26 authors, starting from the Warring States period to the present times. Everyone of the main periods of Chinese history in between is represented.
