Violent Fight On Shanghai’s Famous Nanjing Road

From KDS:

On the evening of July 11, near the Tibet Road entrance to the Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, two waidiren (spoke with accents) came to blows. One side was a husband and wife couple with children pitching in, while the other was a single male who obviously found himself in the disadvantaged position, having been beaten with blood all over his face.

After the police rushed over and tried to mediate, the two parties involved were taken to the police station.

Why was there such a large fight during the day and on lively Nanjing Road? The reason turned out to be…

…fighting over a seat on the Pedestrian Street tourist/sight-seeing tram! (It is said that the male wearing the red shirt who was beaten first became physical towards the child fighting for the seat so the husband-wife couple began ruthlessly hitting the man in red shirt)

It is reported that the Korean KBS television channel just happened to be on the Pedestrian Street that day filming a show, and conveniently recorded the entire fight scene.

Hehehehe, people these days, some big men will hide and let their wives go fight. Shanghai is not bad, it has female patrol officers. This happens often here. There are two snack/small eats shops where the bosses do not fight but the two bosses’ wives fight violently. When the police come, the most they can do is hold the two women back by the arms, and amusingly, the more the police hold them back, the more they fight harder…

elevchen:

Sigh, truly embarrassing, fighting so awfully here. I trust Korean people are reporting this piece of news (if this could be considered news) they definitely would not say “Shanghainese” or “waidiren“. They will say “Chinese people” are fighting in public over a seat.

kskg36:

A fight is a fight, why emphasize waidiren?
Also there is nothing so embarrassing.
America’s New York is even more incredible, where even a public dispute about cutting in line directly leading to shooting people dead happens.
But New York is still the entire world’s most niu city.
Above there are a lot of Shanghainese people trying to use waidiren fighting in Shanghai to show how Shanghainese people’s characters are better/higher than waidiren
I don’t know what this says about them.

红茶党人:

Sigh, a very ordinary post eventually becomes a Shanghai vs. Anti-Shanghai argument. We are all Chinese people, is this necessary?
Some people from some places indeed have some bad habits, but this is not the reason Shanghainese people discriminate against waidiren. To tell the truth, some waidiren‘s bad habits Shanghainese people also have plenty of.

蛇仔明表哥:

I have suddenly discovered that Chinese police are completely useless. In these fight scenes, at best they are just the role of a mediator trying to break up the fight.
This kind of illegal behavior right in front of the police and yet no police are able to effectively stop…
What use are the police then???

奉先骑都尉:

[responding to a comment made by a wai di ren that said this was a fight between Shanghainese people]

Those fighting on Nanjing Road were wai di tourists. Why are you YP ["ying pan", hard disks] dragging us Shanghainese into this?

Moreover, you guys think you are so big. Us Shanghainese people do not have the time to bother with the problems you guys cause. Even if you guys kill each other it has nothing to do with us.

And making yourselves look good while making Shanghainese people look bad? Is it necessary?

You guys want to boast, fine, but please don’t try to make us look bad. Thank you. You guys can do whatever you guys want, there is no deportation system now, and we’re too lazy to care.

But don’t drag us into it, aren’t we all the same!!!

奉先骑都尉:

Shanghainese people will never shirk responsibility. To a certain hard disk above, yes, I called you hard disk, coward, who felt they were looked down upon, insisted on turning wai di tourists fighting into Shanghainese people fighting. Shanghainese people are all reasonable, and fighting has always been something hard disk peoplelike to do, and moreover, just for a seat on a train. Have you ever seen Shanghainese people go ride that tourist tram?

Calling you guys hard disks I personally feel there is nothing wrong. You guys too can insult us. Shanghainese people do not really care about your guys’ insults. Looking at you guys flip out, just thinking about it funny.

Our Shanghai does not have this kind of low character. Moreover, we also do not fight while you wai di hard disks seriously do like to fight. And when something happens, you guys pretend to regret it.

Even if Shanghainese people go to Nanjing Road, would we go ride the tourist tram? It is just something to cheat you wai di ren.

Your hard disk IQ is worth suspecting.

我是spd:

Why do these kind of post-topics always evolve into people insulting and slandering each other? Such a simple post, reminding us to be civilized, ends up becoming Shanghainese people this and this…

Comments from AnJia:

窃听风暴:

The photographs were taken very well, very “at the scene of the incident.”

日本伪教授:

One look and you can tell they are Northern people.

海上杜月笙:

It feels like if that female were to fight alone she would not necessarily lose, hahaha.

悦童:

That mother is so valiant. Therefore, never bully children, otherwise the child’s mother, though a woman, dares to physically fight with a man.

渔父:

Upon seeing this title, my first reaction was that waidiren have again begun ruining Shanghai. After coming in to read, it turns out I was right, causing Shanghai to be the joke of Koreans.

KBS is pretty good at finding news~~~

Daniel_xm:

Forbid waidiren from entering Shanghai during the World Expo!

robinhood:

The Koreans have nothing better to do also, reporting even this kind of trivial matter
that happens who knows how often everyday in various places throughout the country.

  1. Man, Charles you are so witty and so right!!! I bow down to your superior intellect. Can you baptize me into the monkey kingdom? Im so ready to (L) China.

    • Hahahaha… Nah, you’re alright Da Lu Ren, its just funny to see you sweat and try and defend yourself against anonymous people on the internet. If you had friends in China, you wouldn’t be spending so much time ranting and complaining online =)

  2. Hell hath no fury like a bitch whose useless-ass man be creepin’ all up on that skank ass kootchie fo the last time, YOU KNOW what time it is!

  3. Westerners are so superior…

    Pray the aliens come Neo-colonist Neo-imperialist racists! YOU ARE THE ONE!

  4. Capt. Absurdity is now FenQing

    You know what Western Civilization is defined by? Western Civ. is nothing but a cancerous growth–like a drug addict that needs constant “change” to feed it’s ever growing addiction for “growth” and “progress.” Then they love to turn around and get all condescending about China and all her problems (why are you so polluted! Why you have so many people!). we’re all simply trying to be like you mastas! If it weren’t for you we would still be hermits…in balance. (It’s basically play the Western “progress” game or risk being exterminated. Oh believe that, Chinese people are viewed as sub-human in the Western world!) I guess you argue about the balance part…but I tell you we won’t be like what we are today.

    They love to think they are like the pinnacle of the world. Love it how all their narrative is always “progress.” Everybody evolve the “best” system they possibly can right? And the West has the best possible system! A fucking system for efficient cancerous growth. It has been said that history is nothing but contact with the West. Well…exactly…cancer!

    Well… I’m afraid Capt. Absurdity won’t be here much longer. The day is coming.

    The funny thing is…the real dudes behind the throne of the West…are a bunch of weird non-human entities.

  5. Capt. Absurdity is now FenQing

    LOOK man. I’m just sick of getting hated on for every little thing I do.

  6. Come on guys.. One World One Dream right? hahaha

  7. I officially dub thee Capt. Dumbass Loser.

  8. You are all becoming boring in your predictability.

    BTW. If the laowais come here and stimulate your economy, teach your kids how to read ENGLISH so that they can get the most out of the inet (lol) , teach your wives how to KJ, and then occupy/convert/monopolize a female (in short supply no?)….ARE ALL LOSERS, WHAT DOES THAT MAKE YOU?

    Careful …its a trap.

    • Are you talking to me? I wasn’t talking to you, I talking to Capt. Absurdity.

      Either way, loser is loser.

      Everyone is loser :) 666!

    • “If the laowais come here and stimulate your economy, teach your kids how to read ENGLISH so that they can get the most out of the inet (lol) , teach your wives how to KJ, and then occupy/convert/monopolize a female (in short supply no?)….ARE ALL LOSERS, WHAT DOES THAT MAKE YOU?”

      Uh, that would make the locals the employers of the laowais?

  9. But ALL Chinese people fight – it’s part of the culture to fight over the most stupid things everyday.

    • i agree with u, but not all, i think the main reason is that currently many chinese are hav no faith,everything they learn is from school and family, but this is what Chinese gov wants their citizen to be, they wants chinese belive Communism N Science, N obey their family and gov’s decision, if anyone say anything against them, then stop their mouth N do the brain wash, many chinese want China become stronger, but they forgot the most import thing is to love the people they live together. I saw many Chinese are killed in 1998 in indonesia, many chinese are too afried to be killed and rapped then kill their family and kill themself… but what Chinese gov doing is that stop the media N dont let chinese knowing… dont know what kind of gov is that…? decide yourself…

    • True statement.

      The funniest part is when a fight occurs we all gather around the people who are fighting to cheer them on.

  10. I can empathize with the Shanghainese. Singapore used to be very safe but now not a week goes by without some “wai di ren” murdering or fighting each other.

    Just a few months back, a kitchen supervisor was killed just because he asked his “wai di ren” staff to wash the dishes.

  11. That comment about nyc and how ppl get shot over cutting a line really shows how ignorant people around the world is. Course I’ll just fall into the ignorance as well and say DAMN you ghetto ass Shanghai people, fighting over this? throwing slippers and letting women fight for a seat? Ghetto! Please stay there, and yes the Koreans are making fun of you.

    Oh and people who lived in NYC survived 9/11, we moved on and we really don’t have time to be fighting each other, when we’re all keeping our eyes open and paranoid about would be terrorists.

  12. Professor Sillypants

    I see several fights each week in Guizhou. What’s the big deal?

  13. Why is everyone such a jerk to everyone else?

  14. Welcome to Chinasmack.

  15. What’s the big deal .?? Chinese always fight over almost everything;it’s there in their genes …

  16. I’d like to see that Chinese chicken throw down with one of these black chickens… my money would be on the Chinese chicken.

    http://nothingtoxic.com/media/1236819047/Ghetto_Bitches_Beat_the_Living_Crap_Out_of_Each_Other

  17. Anger is an emotion. I grew up in a place where people fought all the time. What’s the big deal? as long as people let emotions control them, there will always be fights.

  18. I think shanghainese are the most ignorant, arrogant, uneducated idiots in the fucking world. and i feel sorry they happen to be chinese.

  19. If one is really educated, he won’t write these words. Be objective.

  20. Last time I saw a fight in Nanjing dong lu, there was a policeman, he did nothing more than call reinforcement and watch, he let a guy get bitten hard by 20 others people without doing anything…
    I wanted to go… but my chinese friend told me not to.
    She might have save my ass :P

    • It’s amazing no one mentioned this before: Chinese police have no incentive to break up fights, unless those fights become a ‘mass incident’. Chinese police, at the lower levels, are low paid and have no ‘side business’ that their superiors enjoy. So why would they risk their health by intervening in a fight? Better to let them tire themselves, then toss them in a van.

      Chinese street-level police have no interest in involving themselves in a dispute, unless one party cuts them in.

      So Chinese police have no interest in common disputes. Unless you grant them an interest, of course …

  21. Everybody was a kung fu fighting.

  22. This is why Kung Fu is invented in China, I guess…..he..he..he

  23. Nothing special. I have seen middle aged man and women beating the shit out of each other for a seat in a bus; a well-dressed office clerk punching the face of a 7-years-old child to mud; and several others fights here in China. Every time about little materialistic crap.

    So this asshole attacked the kids of the couple? Of course he does, its in China.

    You’d think that, as the society is getting richer, people could be happy to live much better than the previous generation did. But no, they become fcking greedy.

  24. Haha these comments are so typical Shanghainese, thinking that they are better then anybody else. In my honest opinion, Shanghai is just another polluted and overcrowded mainland Chinese city with only a good life quality for people that don’t know better or whose only interest is in getting wasted. The city has the same taxi drivers, the same dirty side streets and street food, the hookers, the ugly 3 storey buildings, the same corrupt government, police, press and f**d up legal system as the rest of the country. Despite many foreigners living there people’s mentality is not at all international, in the contrary, it’s even highly nationalistic. This place is in no way different from Guangzhou, Wenzhou or whatever other crappy city in mainland China.

    It’s even funnier that these people now think that they are better then the rest of the world. I’ve seen arrogant Shanghai people in HK (!!!). Shanghai, what a lousy city…

  25. who cares? fuck koreans. they r piece of shit.

  26. You Chinese are pathetic…. you push in front of queue, then when westerners push you back out you pull your infamous and pathetic “victim stunt” and try to appear to be wronged. you stupid people should learn to me adults…. your men are all still just little boys in your heads, never let go of mama’s apron yet.
