Zhejiang Gongshang University Streaking Incident Photos

2009 November 5, around 9 at night, a streaking incident occurred within the Zhejiang Gongshang University campus. A male was seen getting off a car, stripped to the waiste, not wearing pants, with only the important parts covered by a piece of cloth. This student probably ran about 80 meters round-trip, and on his way back removed the only fig leaf on his body, to become truly streaking.

Yesterday night at 9pm, a streaking male appeared in Hangzhou, taking the onlooking crowd by storm. The appearance of the streaking male was rather sudden. He appeared from a Peugeot, completely naked, with only a piece of cloth hung around his waist. There were endless camera flashes around him, as apparently there were professional photographers taking pictures. The streaking male ran about 80 meters, suddenly turned around, and ripped off the white cloth, shocking the surrounding people.

The male quickly got back into the Peugeot, but did not forget to wave to the crowd and yell: “Have a pleasant night.”

Reporters interviewing witnesses learned that this male is Hu Huakai, a student of Gongshang University and has planned this streaking for a long time, continuously updating his thoughts on Xiaonei, planning which day for him to execute his streaking. The reason for this incident is because Gongshang University cuts off the electricity every night after 11:30pm, which this male expresses strong dissatisfaction with. This is because a similar incident previously happened at Zhejiang Yuying College, where students protested the school cutting off the power at night, eventually succeeded, and the school canceled the practice of cutting off electricity at night.

So who is this male? Let’s look at his schoolmates’ cheers.

11 at night, Zhejiang Gongshang University’s students one after another stand on their balconies, loudly cheering and yelling, with flashlights, cameras, and even many people shouting slogans together. When Hu Yuanhua’s car passed by, the shouting rend the air, welcoming the “triumphant return” of the streaking student. Many students claimed “when we were on the balcony, the entire school’s students were all shouting.” “Last night I experienced what what is called the passion of students!”

Comments from Mop:

对准鸡巴一菜刀:

After the incident, the entire university was in an uproar, everyone shouting “Believe in Brother Kai, receive eternal life”, only quieting down when the school administrators finally all came out…this student is a fourth year student of Zhejiang Gongshang University, his name Hu Huakai.

妹子这砖是你的不:

Fellow schoolmate, you must strive for no cutting off of electricity and internet. The female schoolmates need to do more [for this cause, like also streaking].

昭阳贱三爷:

Streaking I have done before,
though I wore underwear.
This brother’s butt is very sexy.

想家的猫:

Could it be that Brother Kai streaked because of loneliness?

lucky__mm:

Because this student once had a test and passed after only flipping through the book for 4 hours, I have lost faith in the university, and henceforth have never gone to class ever again.

AV男模:

I believe “Brother Kai” will become famous!

elai0264:

To not ding this would be a sin, niubi, I am proud for him.

和谐管理员:

Knowing that a year’s tuition costs 10,000 is not easy [cheap] yet still not diligently studying, [this is] losing face for one’s own mother.

wd8403阿拉丁:

Believe in Brother Kai, no cutting off of electricity!

对准鸡巴一菜刀:

To say some heartfelt words, Brother Kai would definitely not be this 鸡动 and 鸡烈 [pun of 激动 and 激烈, excited and intense], and the main reason is him not being able to graduate. The electricity and internet being cut off does not only apply to him, it applies equally to the entire school and even the entire country’s universities, so not being able to graduate is the most important problem [for Brother Kai]. However, we must ding this up regardless because these days, the people who are willing to stand out to resist/fight this terrible education system are not many, so everyone collectively shout “凯哥真爷们” ["Brother Kai is a real man!]“

    How bout we have a hot chick do some streaking in protest. I’d support whatever her cause would be.

    • Alan

      Why would anyone want to be online after 11 pm?

      I suspect it’s the internet cut that most upsets, not the power, QQ needs internet, after all?!

      • DURRRRRRR

        wtf how old are you 60 years old?

        I literally only know one person who sleeps before 11pm.

        • Alan

          Not at all! 30 actually now your asking?! Or was that a rhetorical question? Did you just take too much coke in the net bar and decide that would be a SMART question to ask?!

          A lot of people sleep before 11pm, and like it, try it, you might like it and also suffer less eye strain and less chance of getting RSI later in life.

          • Bereaver

            Most students I see in school are pounded with homework and never finish until like 11 or 12. After that, they want to use the internet or watch some T.V.

            This is truly an obstruction of human rights. Regardless of which country. Ohhh wait, I forgot, China is the only country that pounds the students with useless homework because the teachers don’t know what to teach.

            Alan are you crazy? How many people do you know? Wow. Everyone sleeps after 11. Wow.

    I did that, when getting drunk in a 5-star hotel in Shanghai once. But there were no cameras, so I didn’t get a report and stuff. Too bad. They sent the police, though.

    no matter what is used for, chinese male ass is absolutely crap

  • Somethin Somethin

    This is some pretty stupid shit. Students in most cases can still move off campus and do for the same reasons they do in the West but to add to that is the imbecility of cutting the power and hot water at night. I mean RA baby sitters, curfews, and even ID card systems are accepted by everyone on a pretty worldwide basis as the shitty part of dorm life, but keeping people off the QQ and out of a hot shower shower and a shave at anytime they feel like it is just plain retarded. They don’t do it in the foriegn dorms, so what makes us so damn special?

    • 250

      First, what makes you ‘so damn special’ is your money and the amount you pay to the university.
      Second, in what world do you live in where most Chinese students have enough money to rent an apartment off-campus, and they have showers in the dormitory? Privileged indeed, didn’t you notice all those students carrying soap and shampoo in there little plastic buckets around campus?

      I presume they cut the water and power to save money, whether or not that saving is passed onto the students is another matter.

      However, I do believe Chinese students need to be given more responsibility for their own lives so it can really be a stepping stone into normal life and not just like boarding at high school.

      250 out

      • Somethin Somethin

        No shit on the money holmes. I meant it in as a rant towards equality and how foriegners always get treated better. And in the case of Fudan(Shanghai) and BFSU(Beijing) we were paying the same as any other student at the time ’07.

        And if you’ve ever lived in Shanghai you’ll know that a lot of these kids are priveledged indeed. An off campus getaway isn’t an impossibility. With dorms housing as many as 7 to a confined space believe me when I say these kids can find the cash. Certainly NOT all of them (IE: Chengdu, Guangzhou, etc)

        The reason they SAY they do it and the reason most people around me accept is to teach the students what its like to be poor and to better control their live’s at school.

        Showers are somewhere else, Shampoo is somewhere else, the buckets hardly denote a level of poverty.

    Damn, this is the life of a chinese student? I feel truly blessed…

  • Zebadee

    Anyone else think “brother Kai” is going to start-off a new trend here?

    … perhaps I’ll join him next time! ha! ha!

  • wgh

    Streaking isn’t a crime! It’s the ultimate expression of freedom!

    nice butt :) good course

  • fireworks

    Wot a bummer to have the electricity cut off due to grid shortage or cash strapped education institutions. Its quite common. Might have to get some candles to keep studying.

    Doing a nudie run is peaceful as a treehugger’s protest.

  • tim

    that aid it you be the next of chinas finest future

    you show china and its university that it too can be challenged and with a doubt be claimed as such a real university as others in the western countries
    where you all have a dorm with a tv/microwave/cll phones and computers and laptops and such other gadgets on and useable all at the same time as other western universities offer!

  • Josh

    Cutting off the electricity is a pretty common practice across China. They say it’s for the student’s benefit. More likely is that it probably protects them legally, not from the parents, but from the government. Think about it from their point of view: if students get robbed, raped, or murdered, they will lose face in the eyes of the government because the government considers it the school’s responsibility to care for the students.

    And just like the poster said, the first thing I thought when I read this was: Will this guy still graduate? It’s completely possible for you to be prohibited from graduating if you’ve done something illegal or stirred up some sort of trouble (whether you did or didn’t actually do it). You’ve got to remember that it’s not like the west where once you pay, you’re king. You’re thinking like an American when you should be thinking like a Chinese.

  • whichone

    How does having electricity at night increases the chance of students getting robbed, raped, or murdered?

    Information from the Chinese site seem to suggest possible challenges to graduation preceded the streaking and may be one of the reasons he did it.

    “You’ve got to remember that it’s not like the west where once you pay, you’re king. You’re thinking like an American when you should be thinking like a Chinese.”

    ROFL! That’s a classic line, my friend! I think you have American and Chinese backwards. It’s definitely the other way around.

  • akbar lo

    There is no “right or wrong”
    you obey the law and rules of where you’re from.

  • too yellow

    I don’t where you’re from, but in my old school, streaking will get a public indecency misdemeanor from the police and an administrative probation from the school. Of course whether the AP will get you kicked out depends how many APs you got and whether the school feels like to get rid of you or not.

  • Josh

    You’re making a big leap here. Understanding is not agreement. I for one understand that the school wants to protect itself from a draconian authority like the government. But I strongly disagree with the idea of cutting off the electricity (and locking the doors) to the dorms. When I first came to China to work, the university did the same thing to me and locked the doors at 11 PM. My protests went ignored until one of the student workers finally gave me a key. My understanding is that the locking of the doors and the cutoff of the electricity pretty much go hand in hand. I wonder if maybe that bit was left out of this post. But it’s probably also university specific. For example, the university I mentioned before also had separate dorms for men and women, whereas another university in the city has co-ed dorms.

  • Alan

    Agreed Akbar. But not everyone will listen you know!

  • Josh

    Sorry, seems I wrote that in haste. A common practice in addition to the cutting off of electricity is to lock all the doors to the dorms. In essence, I believe the desired result is similar to what you expect when you put a sheet over a bird cage: the bird goes to sleep and doesn’t try to do anything.

    As far as whether or not he can graduate, this is something that’s been said to personal friends of mine when they’ve met with some sort of issue: sit down, shut up, or don’t graduate. Your choice.
