Song Shanmu Bio

Shanmu Training Founder, Shanmu Education Group Director.

In 1964, Song Shanmu was born in Linyi County of Shandong province. In 1981, he entered Shandong Liaocheng Teachers College for his undergraduate studies. In 1990, he graduated from East China Normal University majoring in Computer Science. In November 1991, he went south to Shenzhen to establish his first “Shanmu Training” center, which was one of China’s earliest private education and training institutions and after nearly 20 years has become a multinational group of chain education centers with nearly 300 branches/campuses in over 20 cities including London in England, Tokyo in Japan, Vancouver in Canada, New York in America, and Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Beijing, Shanghai, etc. in China.

A news report:

The girl interviewed in this video says that when Song Shanmu discovered that she was going to switch to another company, they had a long talk where he said that although she is planning to quit, she is still at the moment working at Shanmu so he asked her to do some work and go clean a that needed to be prepared before someone moves in.

She then rode his Mercedes Benz to the apartment complex pictured in the Luohu District and followed his instructions for cleaning. When he threatened her, and as a result of being scared in a strange remote place, she falsely promised that she would remain working at Shanmu. He then demanded to take nude photos as a sign of her sincerity. She says that he had her say that she would stay while taking the photographs.

Thereafter, with him possessing nude photographs of her, she didn’t dare resist. She continues that he took out a massager/vibrator, used it on her 3-4 times, and then took off his pants. Despite warning, she still called the police the next day.

The news video above also shows security cameras footage of him entering the apartment complex with a girl on that day. An interviewed guard also says he often brings different women there, women he does not recognize.

网易广东深圳网友:

Seeing that beard on his face, looks like a bastard.

网易福建网友:

Thousands of nude photos! Those who support their public release, ding me!

网易火星网友:

Bringing someone back to one’s own house to rape, this isn’t logical, unless the accuser is just after more money.

网易河南网友:

This kind of person must be punished severely! His younger sister even testifies to his innocent! If the person he raped was his younger sister, what would she say then? Us women must protect our own rights and interests!

网易山东济南网友:

Never go to Shanmu Training [for education/training]!!! Beware of being raped by perverts!!!

网易火星网友:

Song Shanmu: Ancestral home is Japan, his father was one of the defeated Japanese soldiers following the invasion and occupation of China. Later, unable to escape back to Japan, he changed his identity and lived in China, later marrying a Chinese girl and had a son. This Japanese person’s name was Shanmu Yi Ji. He, in order to commemorate/remember that he is Japanese yet afraid of Chinese people discovering that he is Japanese, named his son Shanmu, with the surname being his wife’s surname. Song Shanmu going to Japan multiple times was to visit his other Japanese relatives.

网易安徽淮南网友:

Shanmu is a “famous person”, has some influence, and not all the female victims dare to stand out. Without a death, the law cannot give him the death penalty, so I bet that in the end he will use guanxi [connections], stuff some cash, and the matter will “remain unresolved”. Comrades, with this society… pretend to be a little numb, a little befuddled, so you won’t die from anger!

网易上海网友:

Price wasn’t settled…being sued now.

网易上海市浦东新区网友:

Such a terrifying appearance, like a strange beast, no, like a beast!

网易广东深圳罗湖网友:

I always thought Shanmu was Japanese?! It seems kind of beastly copulation is not something only Japanese people are capable of!

网易北京网友:

If the law is fair, please have him go die!

网易河南信阳网友:

Just looking at his bear-like appearance, one can tell his sexual appetite/desire is very strong .

网易甘肃兰州网友:

I always thought [he] was Japanese…turns out he’s Chinese…faint

网易欧洲网友:

You can get on CCTV as long as you spend money, CCTV is advertising for him.

    That guy ooks like a sasquatch….

  • whichone

    You are about to quit your job as a teacher, so before you do that, come and clean this apartment.

    To demonstrate your sincerity, take some nude pictures.

    WTF?!

    • Teacher in China

      Yeah really. She must be one of them “post-90′s generation mental retards” I keep hearing about…

  • 练练英语

    When I knew his name “山木” some years ago,I thought he was a Jap.
    When I knew he had another name “Sun moon” later,I believed he was a Korean.
    When I know his Pinyin name is “Song Shanmu” today,finally,I recognise that he is a bastard Chow.

    • http://www.counterfeitchic.com/Images/Mao_Jordan_cropped.jpg Alikese

      You’re just like this guy: “Song Shanmu: Ancestral home is Japan, his father was one of the defeated Japanese soldiers following the invasion and occupation of China…”

      You can’t disown him now just because he committed a sex crime. Making up stories to calm your shame doesn’t work that well.

  • Yin

    He looks Japanese, to be honest, but that could just be the beard…

    • Bando

      I thought it was his squinty eye look that did it for me since beards on an asian is nothing new to me.

  • Jordan

    Exposed… At last!

  • Jay K.

    give the girl some brother inspiration!

  • http://singaporeshortstories.blogspot.com/ Singapore Short Stories

    He looks decent.

  • korean_guy

    brother shamu with all of his money could have gotten a prostitute or prostitutes…but then again this probably wasn’t about sex as much as pimping the biatches.

  • FYIADragoon

    Sounds like a tru playa playa to me.

  • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOw2Q1MbcpE ImmortalTechnique

    Fucking dummy, raping broads when the mere fact that he’s a very successful individual would have women flocking TO him (despite his Grizzly Adams look), guaranteed enough tail to bridge the gap between the moon and back. Fucking dummy, coulda taken a bitch out, 300 on cristal at the club, mercedes ride back to the hotel, boom boom bap, money is the greatest aphrodisiac in the world, greater than any pheromone.

    What’s with rich people and rape? Now Kobe on the hand was fucking framed for sure, even I would want a piece a Kobe’s beef. Hollaback Kobe!

  • Peng

    I like Sunmoon logo.

  • Simon

    i prescribe CASTRATION for his penile-brain disorder

  • HaWu (AKA bleah)

    How is his name pronounced?

  • slavasz

    His ad always sounds like a mantra – repeating shan mu something many times a row.
    One of the recent ones is like a zombie message – text with ar-ar-ar sound.

  • John

    This is what happens when you allow yourself to get sucked into a CULT. The guy is nothing but a disgusting pervert.

  • Spanky

    This seems to be standard practice. I used to work at a foreign-owned company in China but the boss was Chinese American (x-government official). Allegedly interviewed female job candidates in a hotel room across from the office.

  • arriman

    Very smart move by her. If he did take the photographs, then she has effectively neutralised them. If the pictures get out, then everyone will believe the allegations. If they don’t get out she has saved herself.

  • Of Canada

    rape is not regarded as a serious crime in China. He will get off easy. I’ve had female chinese friends tell me about their bosses attempts to co-erse them into sex. . and one case where when she resisted he tried to rape her but she ran out of his office. Sexual harrassment laws are never enforced.

  • JasonLuo

    Looks like a wolf take on sheep coat.

  • shw

    If he is innocent why is he under arrest / detention ?

    • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buns Bakery

      Where does it say he is under arrest/detention?

  • lordofreimes

    In the last picture, how the hell do you sell educational training with sex appeal? WTF?

    • Zhegezhege

      Hate to point this out but using sex appeal to sell English training is nothing new here. To girls, anyway.
      Anyone remember those creepy English lesson adverts with the smart-looking Chinese woman and the big white meathead, arms held up together, and tied with a rope? I also remember one of those leaflets had nothing but white guys and Chinese girls on the back.
      And Mr Song Shanmu is in the unfortunate position of looking like a perv, so that people are less sympathetic to him now that he has been accused of being one. It’s like accusing a tough-looking white guy with a shaved head of being a racist; people see him and think “yeah, I can see that”.
      That said, my guess is that the netizen who commented “Price wasn’t settled…being sued now” has nailed it. It’s like Letterman. It’s probably not as simple as her being helplessly aroused by how rich and famous your wrinkly old ass is!

  • Hitman

    Wow, shenzhen police will be getting a big payout from this man…

  • Matt

    with so many beautiful employees on the picture, I will do the same.

  • http://www.lovelovechina.com Crystal

    His beard alone is enough to find him guilty ))

  • CT

    He’s not Chinese, he’s wokou hunxue.

  • Johny-5

    fool, don’t u recognize who that is? put your thumb over the beard.. it’s hu jintao~

  • 练练英语

    Apparently not though the rubbish in the street.

    Reason 1,Sun moon need not teach mandarin in Shenzhen.
    Reason 2,Shenzhen has no double deckers(at least 4 years before).
    Reason 3,all ad. boards are printed in Latin letters,even at the rear of the bus.
    Reason 4,obviously,it is in New York.

  • dirtywhiteboy

    i think he was joking….

  • Name (required)

    Why is beard having to do with guilty or not guilty?

  • Brother River Crab
  • MadeInChina

    one might think its a beard. but if you look closely, you can clearly see that its a thick coat of pu55y hair. Obviously he likes to show off his trophies from various girls his taken there lol
    time too grow a beard guys.

  • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buns Bakery

    It depends on the type of beard, but his is not easy to classify.
    According to this:
    http://i.imgur.com/PHmF5.jpg
    he may be Completely Trustworthy, or if you consider his beard “patchy” then he is Dangerous and you should have seen this coming.

  • whichone

    Is Chinese society…

    No, but if your boss says take off your clothes to demonstrate your sincerity, sensible thing would be to get the the hell out. Of course if there were threat of physical violence it might be different but nothing was mentioned in the piece, the entire story just has weird vibe to it.

  • SinoCan

    Brother Sharp and I know this well!
