Chinese People’s Secrets: Part 5

Fauna — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 05:45:22 +0000

More translated secrets of Chinese people…

From Tianya, “Share your heart’s darkest secrets…do you have the courage?”:

走过留香: [she is the "LZ" or topic starter]

Be brave, even when facing strangers… [she is talking about sharing secrets with strangers]

Let me first share. When I was in primary school third grade, I had an especially amicable friend whose family ran a store. We played together every day, and by chance I discovered where her family keeps their money. I stole their family’s money, several times, until one day the place where they kept their money had a piece of people that was filled with the word “偷” [steal/thief]…to this day, we are still the best of friends, and I very much appreciate that she did not tell my schoolmates and friends about this matter. However, this matter has become my biggest disease of my hear. After over ten years have gone by, I have already become a mother, but this matter is still the most painful scar within my heart. To say I was small at that time is not an excuse. Now, I try hard to compensate, but I still cannot eliminate the feeling that I am that kind of low-level person in front of her family members. This matter I have not even told my husband and today is the first time I have said it out, the first time I have faced it…

诺贝尔河蟹奖:

When I was young, I encountered a supernatural incident, but no one believes me.
That time, I came across it with my younger brother, and we were fled in terror.
Nowadays, my young brother has basically forgotten it all, and only I remember it the most clearly, but still no one believes me.

zszzd:

When I was a child, someone asked me to go out and play, and as I was running out, my foot slipped and I almost fell. I turned around to see what caused me to slip, and it was a little bird my family was raising. There was a long bloodstain, about 4cm wide.
I picked it up and saw that the stomach had burst but it was still alive. However, at the time, I was in a rush to go out to play, so I just threw it in a trash can and went out to play.
It has been at least 20 years now, but every time I think of it, I have an extremely strong feeling of guilt.
Everyone go ahead and BS [鄙视, bi shi, "despise"] me.

阴暗的秘密:

I am gay…
But I do not have the courage to tell my parents. I really want to tell them…

阴暗的秘密:

Ever since elementary school up to high school, I have been continually sexually harassed by my uncle [husband of mother's sister], but I do not dare tell anyone in my family, afraid the entire family would collapse. He is normally very polite to people, so it is impossible to tell that he is actually such a beastly person, frightening!!

瓶子的第二世:

At the time, I was in the canteen/cafeteria getting food,
and the husband of a girl in our department cut in line in front of me.
So, I deliberately went to get a needle,
found that girl to have a talk, and while she was going to the WC [restroom],
I rummaged through her purse~~
and poked many holes in the condoms that were inside~

minminmi:

1. When I was in high school, our class had a group secretary (me), an organizing committee member, and some other member. Together, we were supposed to be the “outstanding” group. Every time the vote chose me [for recognition/honors], but I would never give the other two anything. Amongst us, one classmate other than writing announcements on the blackboard for three years, he never got a single benefit. — I always feel I value glory too much. I hope one day I can apologize to him directly.

2. One night after studying in the third year of high school, my boyfriend and I went for a stroll. After separating, I ran into the head teacher (at the time, there were already not that many people). I was afraid he would suspect [me], so I “voluntarily” changed the subject to my best friend, saying she recently like to study alone and seems distracted. (even though I later think it was very probable that the head teacher already knew). — If this could happen again, I would rather have not said a word.

– The above two I have told my boyfriend before.

3. In university I went to a tutoring student’s home. At the time, I was no longer teaching that child, but I felt her father was a good person. After returning to school from winter vacation, her father called me inviting me to go play. At the time, my brain was too simple and thought that it was very normal to meet elders during the first month of the new lunar year. But then, he actually wanted me to be his lover. At the time, I was scared out of my wits. Afterward, I rushed to get away. After getting back to school, I called my boyfriend (we are living in two different places). He later said he was in the library trying to find some place to take my call, but anyway I blamed him for not caring about me, he probably blamed me for not giving him a chance to explain, and so he then ignored me. Then, no matter how I called him, he would ignore me.
Exceptionally scared, especially with no one to turn to. I do not know how I made it through that time. Even when I recall it now, it still feels like a nightmare.

— This one thing I only told my sister once. She said I should have immediately left the moment I realized there was something peculiar with what that child’s father was saying. I said I did not think of so much [at the time].

阴暗的秘密:

When I was a child, I stole 20 RMB from my grandfather [maternal], and I feel I exceptionally wronged him. I feel exceptionally, exceptionally guilty. My grandfather does not really have a lot of money. At that time, 20 RMB is like 200 RMB today. “Lei” [tears/teardrop].

阴暗的秘密:

I am bisexual, and I like my best friend. I once had a dream where I kissed her. When I was small, I was sexually assaulted by the “uncle” next door, as well as once on the streets when walking home. Thinking of all of these things, I cannot even cry if I wanted to.

阴暗的秘密:

I did something bad and was discovered by a classmate who reported me. The teacher lectured me and I could only cry but not explain [why I did it]. I now feel I was really shameless when I was in elementary school, not afraid to do something but afraid to admit to it. I would eat other people’s food because I was too hungry and because that food was so delicious.
There is also an even darker thing that I will remember for the rest of my life, something my family also knows but considers as something that I did because I was really small and did not know any better…nevermind, I will not share it.

Note: Some of the these usernames are the same because people are using a public/shared account to post their secrets so no one knows their normal Tianya username.

Silly & Funny Chinese Dance Performances

Naked Schoolgirl Video, Punishment For Stealing [NSFW]

Fauna — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 13:08:29 +0000

From Mop & NetEase (no longer accessible):

It has not been long since the Kaiping Incident happened, a friend of mine sent me a video, asking me to translate the dialogue inside. This video is about 9 minutes long, the schoolgirl in the video first being beaten by schoolmates, then forced to take off her clothes and filmed. What more, the reason this incident happened was all because this female student had altogether stolen things three-times from her fellow students, and those beating her and forcing her to take off her clothes are all her schoolmates, and further there are voices of many female classmate in [the video]. The several students using violence do not reveal their faces throughout the video. However, in their dialogue they disclosed that they will upload it onto the internet to let “Ma Le/Lei Lao” [unsure, maybe this is a Cantonese name] all see it. The girl says, “if I take off all my clothes, will you guys not hit me, and let me go…?”

I do not know what is wrong with these Guangdong children, and why do these horrific incidences happen so frequently? I do not want to excessively express my anger, I only want to expose/make public this incident. Everything I give to society and the law to deal with and punish

If you are a reporter/journalist, please provide me your true identification, I will send you the video. Moppers, please do not contact me, I do not want to spread the video out.

Comments on Mop:

So cruel…

Today’s children~~all society’s fault!!!

What is wrong with these children? What is driving Guangdong’s developed economy?

Guangdong again!!!
Truly speechless yet again!!!

Guangdong people [Cantonese]…
What can I use to save you people…

A proverb says it well: Heaven is towards the left, Guangdong is towards the right.
This is what a Guangdong contract worker told me…

Normal, I work in Youku’s back office verification department, and I see these videos every day.
The country does not allow them to be disseminated, so they are all screened/censored.

I am not a reporter/journalist, but I like the vast masses want to see…

Do the people who want to watch the video still have integrity? I write this as someone who likes to watch AV and X-rated material.

This cannot be separated from society’s morals.
For example, our Comrade Lin.
Everything is violent.

Let me turn the page, very true, this is indeed today’s children. The larger the city, the worse it gets. Violence and sex, this is their lives after they become 16-years-old.

All the private areas were blurred/masked…
But LZ does not blur/mask the face.
Is this any different from uploading the video?
Kao,
other people also want face [care about dignity]!

You deserve it for stealing. We are beating you to teach you a lesson. Let us see if you steal again. [Not a good translation but something like this.]

I can only say that with regards to today’s girls, everyone has been deceived by external appearances. “The ‘badness’ of boys was taught by girls!” Something one of my old schoolmates used to often say…

Guangdong, that place, is a real fucking mess. Never go there. You may die and not know how you died.

4 Girls Fall To Death To Escape Dorm Fire

Fauna — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 14:06:45 +0000

Four Shanghai Business School girls fell to their deaths after trying to escape from a fire in their sixth-floor dorm room. They were 19 to 21-years-old and were all studying economics.

When the news first happened, many BBS forums began talking about this incident. Many Chinese netizens expressed their condolences and many others argued about what happened. Here are some of the BBS discussions and comments:

From KDS, “Shanghai Business School fire dorm pictures and video, they had a chance“:

From the video and pictures, it can be seen clearly that climbing along the side to the dorm room next door was definitely not something that was not possible. I do not know if we should say these few girls were brave or not for their judgment. If there was someone next door to help rescue, by lending a hand, maybe it [the result] would have been much better.

The dorm in the video: http://news.sina.com.cn/c/2008-11-14/102516653912.shtml

This is easy to climb. My home was like this too. When I did not bring my keys. I would just climb in.

It does not matter if it i easy or not to climb over, they must install firefighting system in the dorms in the future.

Right now it looks easy to climb…
But 1. The dorm room next door did not have anyone to help.
2. Maybe just looking down and seeing how high it was, they did not dare climb over.
3. The intensity of the fire was big, so they could not be so calm.

May God bless them, amen!

“there is no accident”
It was all a result of negligence.
A building problem.
A management problem.
A thinking/mindset problem.
A society problem.

No one will probably dare to live in this dorm room ever again.

Fuck! They deserved to die! Such a short distance and they did not know to climb next door. This IQ, this consciousness is so poor it makes humanity disappointed.
Waste of life, Death’s [the Death God's] method’s were entirely correct.

No matter how you say it, the people in the next door dorm room ran off to protect themselves. If they were still there, they could have kicked down the door from the outside…and then ran.

It is probable that the fire was too big at the time, and the heat forced them to run towards the balcony, and then they did not know about the situation next door. We can see from the pictures very clearly that they could have climbed, but from their position on the balcony maybe all they saw was a wall. In addition to being extremely scared, and the fire being overwhelming, so the result was that the girls jumped!

It was just an ordinary fire, there were not even a lot of combustibles that were ignited, so in theory it could not have spread on a large-scale.
What I do not understand is how the people next door did nothing to help rescue them, no matter if it was just standing next door and yelling, running a rope, or extending a hand, any of that could have saved 4 lives.
The picture is too ridiculous, on one side four people have died, on another side there are clothes hung out to dry safe and sound. To reflect from another angle, this is society’s sadness. Everyone only looks after themselves.

From KDS, “Regarding Shanghai Business School’s dormitory fire, come see this“:

A friend happened to be living nearby took this picture, said this was the state of the fire right they jumped.
Pretty big…

Comments:

Such a big fire, I bet if it was me, I would also jump.

Jumping was the only option.

There were only a few seconds for escape, once the time has passed, the only road left is death.
When meeting disaster, remaining calm is the most important.

This picture says it all, you have no choice but to jump!

Indeed one could only jump, burning to death would be even more painful.

With the fire already so big, there would not have been anyone to go help them.
This is because the boys and girls dorms are too far from each other.

What the hell were they studying? What the hell was in their brains?
Why not try to climb sideways, it would have been the most effective, I do not believe that all four of them would have died if they had tried climbing sideways.

It is said that the electric water kettle had not been unplugged the night before. When the electricity came on in the morning [the electricity for Chinese university dorms are often turned off at night], it burned until it exploded~
If you say jump, at least jump out towards the door, why go towards the balcony to jump…but the fire was indeed pretty big, and when the fire has gotten this big, the only option left really is to jump!

The poorest/most pitiful are the four girls’ parents.

In the past, my dorm room was on the sixth floor too, and I would sometimes forget to bring my keys, so I would climb in from the balcony next door. The girls should have climbed, jumping down was the worst plan, very regrettable, but when Death has come, you cannot escape.

What a shame!
The problem is that those who jumped after should have see what happened to those who jumped first! And they still chose to jump, I bet it is because they had no choice! Truly pitiful!
Actually, the only exit should be the floor below, but maybe the floor below already evacuated!
Can everyone consider just how desperate the people there were? They could have climbed to the lower floor, but there was no one to support them!
Truly what a shame!

I bet if it was the boys dormitory, there would not be many who would simply jump down.
If there really was no way out on the balcony, they should have found a way out, whether it was going towards the side or going down a level…
You guys watched all those American disaster movies for nothing.

From KDS: “Heart aches after seeing one of Shanghai Business School’s student’s Xiaonei profile“:

Journal, signature, and comments, sigh.

Comments:

Their family members must be heart-broken.

A moment of silence…may they rest in peace.

This kind of stuff I cannot stand the most…suddenly I feel terrible…

It seems people are still human and have feelings after all… [this person is impressed that people have left comments expressing concern]

The truth must be said, if the electrical heating rod was her’s…

Now the clicks are in the tens of thousands…comments are still waiting for the first thousand. [This person is disappointed that many people have read the news but did not leave a reply]

What a shame, what a shame.

Honestly, the most pretty is her, she is pretty good-looking.

Hope they can be happy in heaven!

Comments from NetEase:

Everyday there are people dying, I have become numb!

China has too many people, a few dying…I have truly become numb.

Sigh.
These things always happening…
…is truly sad.

This kind of thing really should not happen…
The higher authorities and school administration were not in place, causing today’s tragedy, hopefully the higher authorities will diligently take care of this.

This is not just one case, the reports are always this little, perhaps there are still more that were not reported!

“Value life highly” is not a joke, it is a lesson.

A moment of silence for the four female students, presents flowers.
