Hot Shots Yijun (Pixy) Liao and Zhijie Sui have launched a couple of 2011 calendars based on one of the most popular concepts in China's online lexicon. Deemed Harmonic and Harmonious Society, both calendars take different approaches to mirroring China's desire to build a peaceful societal image in the future.

Zhijie Sui, who goes by the online moniker Taca Sui, curated the images in Harmonic with his typical mastery of tonal scale. The calendar leads viewers on a month by month journey through the urban and rural environments of China, creating a quiet sort of commentary on the theme of hopeful harmony through existing infrastructures and dramatic texture.

Harmonious Society, curated by Liao, conveys a similar idea, but instead of picturing emotive environments and buildings in varying states of disrepair, this calendar reflects what co-collaborator Lan Xu calls a "Chinese-style harmony [that unveils a] wild, unique optimism."

A cat atop an indoor pile of rocks (March) reveals a kind of quirky sense of achievement, while people riding on a bus (May) creates an uncanny sense of order and symmetry. All of the photos from Harmonious Society were either taken by or from people in the Chinese Youth Camera Club (CYCC), an informal but constantly growing New York City group of Chinese photographers under the age of 60 from around the world.

You can purchase both Harmonic and Harmonious Society now for a special holiday price of $14.20. All proceeds from the sales of both calendars go to The Pediatric HIV/AIDS Treatment Support Project (PATS) for Aids Orphans in Fuyang, China.
