Japanese Invaders? Shameless Promotion?

Chinese actors pretend to be WW2 Japanese soldiers in Henan.

From NetEase:

Look at this group of people, putting aside national dignity in order to gain attention from people. November 4th after 11am, near the public security bureau on Construction Road at Weihui city in Henan, a donkey meat store hired 4 men, dressed up as “devils” [Japanese soldiers who invaded China in World War 2], riding donkeys, wearing the devil’s uniform and devil’s cap; guns slung over their backs, on top stuck out a Japanese flag. On the main streets, they parading around in a triumphant show of power and pride.

A sea of people at Shenzhen Convention Center, 150,000 converged here to find a job.

From NetEase:

Only by looking down from the observation platform of the Shenzhen Convention Center’s first hall can one understand what is called a sea of people. 150,000 university graduates coming from different areas throughout all of China nearly overwhelmed the Shenzhen Convention Center. Such a scene would have been difficult to imagine had I not seen it with my own eyes.

Teenager Bullied, Walks Home Naked

Naked teenager walks along the side of the road in China.

From NetEase:

Around noon on October 22nd, a teenager was walking stark naked along Nan Guo Road. My colleague and I got out of the car to ask him what the matter was. There was terror in his face and he just kept mumbling “I want to go home…I want to go home…” My colleague noticed he had cuts on his arms and neck and asked him if he was attacked/beaten up. He nodded in terror, then snatched a beverage from our hands and downed it in one gulp. Since we had some important matters to attend to and were eager to leave, we took out 20 yuan and advised him to buy some clothing, then call the police for help. Don’t know how that poor teenager is doing now.

Funny And Clever Chinese “Shanzhai” Brands

KFG Chicken?

KFG 啃他鸡 = "Nibble His Chicken" (rest assured the innuendo applies in Chinese as well).

Chinese Lesson Time山寨 = shan1 zhai4 = literally “mountain stronghold” in reference to historical warlord holdouts that were outside of government control. A “shanzhai” edition product thus refers to products outside of government regulations that are widely reflected in the numerous fake and knockoff electronics/commodities made in China today. The term “shanzhai” can also refer to things that are improvised or home-made and are generally crude in both form and function (the closest English equivalent would be “ghetto”).

Future Police Officers Sleep In Politics Class

Future Chinese police officers sleep in class.
From NetEase, “Shocking Scene in the Classroom of Police Officer College“:

The Politics class is just an empty shell, why bother wasting people’s time by having the course!
Some meaningless classes are just like this!
Wasting taxpayer’s money!!!

We really need teachers with character to come teach the Politics class. It should make children want to participate in politics, make them care more about politics, and not just be about dry, abstract concepts. In ancient China, the emperor’s teachers all taught politics, but I don’t think the emperors and princes were sleeping while their teachers taught class!

Hehe, it is the same here in our technical college, except we need to take it every semester!! What more, if you do not test well for this kind of class, you cannot graduate. It is even more important than courses for our major.

Tianya Posters Angry With Shanghainese On KDS

Anti-"wai di ren" image uploaded by KDS Forum user "boban1100."

From Tianya, “Shanghainese xenophobic posters, you definitely did not think it would reach this level“:

Everyone on this BBS discussion forum, look at the URL address of this picture [the picture is on KDS Forum], inside the majority are Shanghainese people. Their discussions are simply that there are too many “wai di ren” and have bad characters, affecting Shanghai’s image, affecting their living environment; “wai di ren” take their work opportunities, pulling down wages. They hope “wai di ren” can all get out of Shanghai.

The above point of view is consistently the unanimous point of view of this BBS discussion forum, so frightening!

This poster also quoted an article titled, “University professor: urban Shanghainese character very low, xenophobic phenomenon serious.”

Child Labor In Wuhan, Chinese Argue Good or Bad

Two kids working in a factory.

In Wuhan, some black-hearted factory bosses use children as labor to squeeze extreme profits; some of these children toiling day and night for them, shedding countless tears of suffering and hardship.

Carrying the concerns of city residents, “Wang Haofeng Focus” [an independent reporter/photographer] from late September until early October, directed investigations across the Wuhan region focusing on the numerous innocent-faced workers laboring long hours in factories (they are distributed across clothing factories/printing factories/textile factories/zipper factories/etc). In order to speed up production, black-hearted bosses use them like ‘robots’, letting them rest only 6 hours per day, some only get off work at 4 in the morning; Because of serious lack of sleep, some had their fingers “bitten” by machines during production; those who made mistakes during production, are blamed and scolded by the boss; It’s 2 am in the morning, only to find these tired and beaten kids on the side of the road buying “shaobing” [a Chinese sesame bread] for a late-night snack.
