]]> "Eagle Father": A Chinese dad training his son by forcing the child to run naked and do push ups in the snow.

On Sina Weibo:

@新浪视频: New Year’s Eve morning, a 4-year-old boy from Nanjing city who had accompanied his parents to America on vacation welcomed the 2012 Lunar New Year in his own unique fashion by running naked in a snow storm. In the video, the little boy was only wearing yellow underwear and sports shoes, while the outdoor temperature that morning reached as low as -13 degrees Celsius. After the video was uploaded onto the internet, it attracted many netizens’ attention and debate.

From iFeng, Sohu, Xinhua:

“Eagle Dad” trains son in snow storm, 4-year-old boy running naked video goes viral

A four year old Chinese boy in only his yellow underwear in the snow.

When it comes to extreme parenting of children, there has been “Wolf Dad”, “Tiger Mom”, and today there is now also “Eagle Dad”: When young eagles have grown large enough, eagle mothers will ruthlessly push a young eagle off the cliff, and when the young eagle is falling into the valley below, it learns its basic ability — how to fly.

New Year’s Eve morning, a 4-year-old boy from Nanjing city who had accompanied his parents to America on vacation welcomed the 2012 Lunar New Year in his own unique fashion by running naked in a snow storm. Recently, this video was posted on the internet by the child’s family, and 4-year-old “Naked Running Boy” quickly attracted the attention of netizens becoming famous on the internet, with the number of views reaching over 260k within just a few days. In response to this kind of extreme education/raising methods, netizens have commented one after another, differing in praise and criticism. Yesterday through the person who exposed this on the internet, this reporter got in touch with this little boy named He Yide and his family, inadvertently learning that this baby, at just 4-years-old, will be entering first grade at Nanjing Yushuiwan Primary School tomorrow, in an informal “listening in” status.

A Chinese father has been nicknamed "Eagle Dad" for forcing his 4-year-old son to run in the snow wearing only underwear.

The longer video clip on Youku:

In the above video, the child can be heard whimpering and asking for his father to hold him while the father encourages him to keep running forward. The child He Yide also asks for his mother, whose voice can later be heard encouraging him as he does some push-ups on the snowy ground.

Comments from Sina Weibo:

一夜幽阶：

If they are doing this every day over the long term where he adapts to it day by day, then that’s one thing, and I can even understand. But the child is saying its so cold, and his body is red from the cold, so why force the child to run. Truly sick.

peng小雨：

A lot of media aren’t reporting the rest of the story~ This child was a 7-month premature baby~ His father is already over 40-years-old~ At the time, the doctor determined that this child would become mentally handicapped… The mother resigned from work to stay at home to take care of him. His father started training his physical body from when he was small, and even though his methods are a little difficult to accept by us ordinary people, his parents have put a lot of thought into this… Ever since the child has come out of the hospital, he hasn’t gotten sick~ What more, all of this training was done step by step gradually~ It isn’t as if he was suddenly thrust out into the cold…

SJ青：

To be a little mean, if he were to freeze to death, his world in the afterlife would be icy and cold. Just looking at this makes me tremble/shiver. I wonder if his parent’s brains are filled with polar bear shit!!

俏丫头2266360053：

You’re able to bear letting your child be in such cold circumstances without wearing clothes? How come we don’t see your parents coming out to freeze with you! Inhuman. [弱][弱]

不学无术的好人灬：

What are you going to do if his JJ is frozen and damaged?

赵迁clic：

Yet another parent who forces his own unrealized dreams upon their own child. Evaluation complete.

爱灰而：

Do you not see how happy the child is?! So only you guys are smart and know how to raise children, are you guys the father and mother…? Save your breath and reflect upon yourselves instead!

阿西里西：

That’s the correct way to teach/raise a child! Had my old man trained me like this when back then, I wouldn’t be so afraid of the cold now.

w_W阿莫西Lynne：

Exactly~ There’s a reason for this, so those yelling at the father can shut their mouths now~ The child isn’t that delicate, and the father is also very great [selfless], having given a lot of thought, so everyone have a little more respect, and a little less “pity”.

-时间流走的痛：

This is emulating Japan’s education methods. I don’t think it is necessary. Just find a training camp to train for a bit is enough.

吃驴的薄荷：

According to the child’s father, this child was prematurely born, and the doctor said there was a risk of mental disability, so they’ve been training his bodily health ever since he was small. From the looks of it, it doesn’t look like there weren’t benefits.

雪杨雪：

Poor little kid! With the child being so small, is being exposed to the cold like this good for him? Can the parent not be so heartless?

不吃草的牛妞：

I really want to know, did this father run naked with him?! If he didn’t go running naked with him, this would be too unfair towards the little child! [生病]

On Tudou:

]]> Hong Kongers harassing mainland tourists on the streets of Hong Kong, singing "Locust World".

On Sina Weibo:

@刘超-怒放: Right now in Hong Kong, people are singing “Locust World” when encountering mainlanders on the street, especially against those tourists who are buying luxury bags and cosmetics, and has already become harassment. Recommend everyone avoid going to Hong Kong for shopping these few months. Just 3 months, and they will definitely beg the “locusts” to return. Let these people who are trying to ruin [the relationship between China and Hong Kong] know the importance of “locusts”. Please forward.

The song, “Locusts World”:

The song is based on Eason Chan‘s “Under Mt. Fuji” and the most viewed copy on YouTube (without English subtitles) has over 777k views since it was uploaded in February 2011. Below is an edited version uploaded 2 weeks ago featuring various video clips and images of locusts juxtaposed with mainlanders doing or saying things that annoy Hong Kongers:

This video currently has over 210k views on YouTube.

Comments on Sina Weibo:

GGLong：

Don’t go to Hong Kong anymore… go back home… Don’t know whether Hong Kong people have thought about their future???

阿强-qfu：

Those people singing this kind of song are simply a bunch of people who think too highly of themselves, their thinking truly having not grown up!!!

paradiso:

Everything they drink, eat, and use is produced and subsidized by the mainland. As our taxes are being used to give them better treatment and consumption to give them employment, they treat us as below them.

巧成书L：:

Do you know how much Hong Kong people donated during the Wenchuan earthquake? Do you know how many Chinese mainland impoverished mountain areas receive donations from Hong Kongers and Hong Kong companies? Do you know how many mainland companies go public on the Hong Kong stock exchange?

giggs1990： (responding to above)

So them donating larges sums of money means they can insulted your dignity? Laughable.

非韩印象美甲：

Sigh! What age is it and there are still people who are doing such stupid things!

EricaLAU_欣：

But the phenomena described by the lyrics are real, are they not? Mainlanders should reflect upon themselves for a moment. Of course those Hong Kongers surrounding mainlanders singing are also wrong. Both sides have their faults.

小艾艾LUIS220：

TMD “Locusts World”, I want to write a “Parasite Song”! Mainlanders ding this!!!

ssecook：

When I heard Shina, I became angry. These aren’t our compatriots, they are Japanese dogs.

RamaRani：

Our habits have their bad areas, but that doesn’t mean we should be insulted. If Hong Kong fashions itself as a civilized city, how come it doesn’t have some tolerance/patience? If civilization is built on the foundation of insulting others then we can only say that is hypocritical.

馒美丽：

I suggest that everyone should jump at the chance to go to Hong Kong for vacation, visit family, work, business trips, meetings, shopping, anything. That is our China’s territory anyway, who says we can’t go just because they don’t let us? That’s laughable. Since they’re talking like that, we should just continue to take their milk powder and their hospital beds. We have power in numbers. We should get our hands on all the hospital beds we can book and all the milk powder we can buy until they are at their wits’ end. Best would be to chase certain Hong Kongers out of Hong Kong, leaving them no choice.

JohnYuchen_Yang：

Can you guys stop trampling on human rights? You Hong Kongers talk about human rights, do mainlanders not have human rights? What right do you have to treat them like this!? Truly embarrassing the Chinese people!

矮油聖誕樹：

The media needs to be fair and objective, not be provocative and misleading. Everyone knows why it has come to this kind of situation. This isn’t the result everyone wants. Nor is it a good way to solve the problem.

梦浮云夕：

Sigh…Hong Kongers write a song intending to despise mainlanders…but end up cursing their own forefathers in the lyrics…do they not have any shame??

Gary何国威：

I’m not a fenqing, and even though some of it is true, I still feel the lyrics go too far. Especially upon hearing Hong Kongers call China “Shina”.[怒]

Comments from Mop (1 & 2):

猫之妖妖_Luna:

I’m in such awe~~~~

寄件人不详:

I totally thought they were real, only to find out they were all made out of mud.

守夜人￡:

Actually, you’ll find a lot of miniature models in European and American television series and movies.
In terms of using physical models and computer generated models together in movies, we’re still very far behind.
Especially now where there are even more garbage domestically produced movies that purely exist to deceive/swindle the ordinary common people [of their money].
Every time I’m envying how niubi European and American movies are, I then look at our own.
I don’t think we lack human talent, what we lack is professional ethics and professionalism.

一把胡子两行眉:

So NB! I can’t even tell what is real or fake.

笔尖下的舞者:

… Which ones are photographs [of the buildings the models are molded on] and which ones are the creations [the actual models made by the students]?

whyhi126:

Really good, especially that toilet/restroom. I looked at it for a long time and still can’t tell it is a miniature model.

淘东尼:

The Academy of Fine Arts graduation exhibition I saw was like a horror film.

强撸灰飞烟灭啊少年:

Saw this post just after eating, and seeing the toilet/restroom made me my balls ache, asshole tighten, and want to throw up… Really realistic, evaluation complete.

哥也是个传说:

Truly impressive.

The details on the models are made so well that it’s really difficult to distinguish between real and fake.

They were even able to recreate the filth and dust under the lighting.

So impressive. How come they don’t use these when filming domestic movies?

请加我好友:

Why wasn’t the toilet made cleaner?

非→不是:

Too many images, my mobile phone can’t handle it.

阳明助我:

China can finally film its own Ultraman…

4363330:

I actually thought it was tilt-shift photography.

中国黄瓜:

Reminds me of Mary and Max!

林沛霖paylam:

How perversely impressive.

liyunlong200418:

Making these is TMD too time and consuming and exhausting. When I was in school, I had to make one too. You have to be very careful and have patience… and what more, some materials are rather expensive. Learning art is expensive!

wybyl:

Incredible, reminds me of The Miniature Killer in CSI Las Vegas.

A miniature butcher's shop model made by a Chinese art student at Xi'an Academy of Fine Art.

What do you think? Could they have fooled you? Which models do you like best?

]]> A group of teenagers kicking and beating a Chinese boy in Chicago.

On Sina Weibo:

@YouTube精选: Outrageous! Recently, this “Chicago Asian boy beaten by group” video has been spreading on various foreign sharing websites: The 17-year-old boy not only had his sports shoes [sneakers/trainers] and wallet robbed, he was also repeatedly beaten by the 7 thugs! [怒] While bullying and robbery can be found in every country… At present, Chicago police are already investigating this matter.

12/01/18 UPDATE: An edited copy on popular Chinese video sharing website Youku that currently has nearly 1 million views and over 9000 comments over 300 pages since it was uploaded 1 day ago.

The above microblog post featuring the above video was posted just after 5pm today. In less than 4 hours, it has been forwarded over 2200 times and has nearly 900 comments. It is not “viral” by Chinese internet standards (yet?) but as requested, below are a selection of the Chinese netizen reactions and comments. Please note that in addition to the comments below, many comments expressed disbelief, outrage, and strong condemnation of the attackers.

猫_Blue：

“If he’s the son of a corrupt official, then he deserves to be beaten”. This kind of comment is really unbelievable, why is the hate for no reason transferred [onto the child]?

美国代购-gogo：

Overseas students abroad, you must take care to protect yourselves.

王欢无泪大欢：

These bastards are sick, both beating and filming it, even uploading it onto the internet…

盐颜男子：

The United States is place where the strong prey on the weak, and safety in public can also vary greatly between different places. This kind of thing is very normal, it isn’t just against Asians, although Asians happen to have relatively weaker physiques.

军港嘟嘟：

laiyx2001：

Ellis_Luk：

First worry about our own country’s school violence.

中华人民风雨同舟：

Throughout history, white people have always been inhuman! You think China are the Indians [Native Americans]. Whose child is this? Encourage him to learn martial arts.

Stephen_史提芬：

If you don’t want to be bullied abroad, learn martial arts… Laowai are all afraid of Chinese kung fu.

清河卧虫：

All we have to do is beat up some Chicago person here [and it'll be even].

洋洋洒洒Patrick：

Human scum can be found anywhere.

DArchie：

In the video they yell “Chinese negro”!… Are Chinese people very black?… I never knew America was this frightening~~~!!

吴宗宪2010：

Beating kids is wrong, a crime. But considering the probabilities, this may very well be the son of a corrupt or naked government official [one whose wife and children are sent abroad]. In that case, I have to applaud this!! Well-beaten!! Beat him to death!! Beat him until his large intestines fly out of his anus!! Oh yeah!! I welcome all black people and white people to wildly beat the son and grandsons of overseas citizens of Chinese origin!! Curb corrupt officials from fleeing abroad!!

Americans have human flesh searched them out. Of those beating, three are Chinese. The one in grey is named Wesley Wu.

开元真爷们：

嚧小宇：

He was pretty fast running away.

无恶不作的小霸王_：

So a Cantonese speaker becomes a “nigga” [汗]

Cayenne-Z：

Fucking Americans!

Mini-端：

I hear there are already new developments to the matter, that there are even Chinese people amongst the attackers. A wise man doesn’t fight when the odds are against him, running away is the right move. Then go home and buy a baseball bat, maybe an aluminum one, then find them and beat them to death one by one. [怒][怒][怒]

細嘉tm：

Any place where there is people is scary.

valderfieldsS：

Laowai are all this vicious? Are they as vicious as our chengguan? [思考]

无恶不作的小霸王_： (responding to 凡怒)

No way, Chinese beating Chinese? Fuck.

BigRaymond：

I’m here to read the comments – - I wonder what the comments would be like if it were Asians ganging up and beating a laowai?

龚小7：

In this kind of situation where one is being bullied, one has to target one person. Even if you’re beaten to death, you still have to go after one of them. At this moment, you have to go all out against one of them, bite off his ear, and not let go even if you’re beaten to death.

哈哈哈呜哈哈哈：

A sharp contrast to how laowai are treated like gods in our country.

曼波哥：

Why is the one thing I keep hearing: “f*ck you nigger”?

selen_chan：

How can this happen?! [怒] So lawless!!! [哼] Hope Chicago police will justly deal with this and not cover it up. [右哼哼] Doesn’t matter if this Asian boy is Chinese or not, we should all be concerned for him. [悲伤] These fucking Americans have truly embarrassed their country!! [愤怒][愤怒] Forward this forward this! Let even more people know about it!

Tony_Stark沈琦伟：

Upon arriving in America, the first one one should do is spend some money buying a handgun and learn how to easy it. Keep it on you to protect yourself, in order to protect yourself against this kind of situation. The moment a bunch of overconfident thugs see a muzzle, they’ll run faster than even dogs. Even if you open fire and kill a few, you’ll be judged not guilty according to American law.

林延ping：

@美国驻华大使馆 #美国驻华大使馆 [United States Embassy in China] The person the laowai in this video are yelling at is Chinese, so everyone forward this to the American Embassy.

我叫洛梓潼：

How come the person who filmed this didn’t help him?

tenffy王小灰：

Our own people bully our own, much less foreigners. Always thinking our country is so strong and powerful, but is it the people or the government that has nothing to do with us that’s strong and powerful? Not many people understand this.

Jerry小乖：

To be completely blunt, in the eyes of laowai, Asian males are just competition for their jobs and Asian women are just there to service them.

小雯纸Alice：

TMD racial discrimination yet again, what are Americans so cocky about, a bunch of… I don’t even know what word to use anymore to condemn those Americans… [怒][怒][怒]

胡鸿希：

The comments are even more upsetting than the video. [Some of] you only fucking know how to how to make meaningless stupid remarks.

梦落长门：

Everyone add @美国驻华大使馆 [to their comments to forward it to the American consulate Weibo account].

小芹卓玛Mia：

It could very well just be the child of an official or rich Chinese studying abroad. If he’s beaten, then so be it. Even if they beat him to death, who cares?

自我_Xiao：

Take a look, the vanity of Chinese people wanting to emigrate abroad, serves them right for being beaten to death! Anyone with a bit of national pride would not go abroad. Foreigners think Chinese people are fools. Foreigners don’t dare to be so cocky in China unless they want to be beaten to death! Why I fucking JB hate the most are those ABCs!

I wonder what kind of treatment foreign students get in China? Are there also people who would attack/beat them? Or simply look at them favorably with curiosity and envy? When seeing someone from Chicago in the future, first give them a beating!

More or less there’s always some discrimination by laowai toward Chinese, so I don’t envy living abroad at all.

On YouTube, it says 4 of the people in this are Asians, maybe Korean or Chinese, because of the Li and Wu surnames.

These seven stupid cunts have already been arrested, as well as human flesh searched.

Using the internet expecting the truth, now that’s idiotic.

神策圣堂：

This is exactly why I think Chinese people, even those working in foreign companies, who give themselves an English name for no reason are all SB. Did your parents not give you a name? Even your laowai boss, have him call you by your [Chinese] name, and they will actually respect you for it…

御姐控Levi：

So this is what America means by “human rights”? China’s [pro-America netizens] should sober up.

發光二级管：

This kind of thing also happens every day in China.

hyacinth82：

This isn’t racism! It’s just a bunch of immature foolish kids!

梦落长门：(responding to above)

It may be, but at present we don’t know the reasons [behind the beating]. No matter what, I trust the majority of ordinary Americans couldn’t do this kind of thing! It’s better [for everyone] to be more rational, even if we’re very angry!!

Funny_苏同学：

Racism is not something that can be solved/eliminated quickly.

christine杨：

It seems like 5 of those in the video are Chinese.

christine杨：

We can only say that there are bad people and good people everywhere. ╮(╯▽╰)╭

Translation: Who told you to not stay in China, who told your parents to immigrate, and not obediently stay in China drinking Sanlu?

坐警官天：

Asian? Hope he’s Japanese.

stojakovic2006： (responding to above)

If this is how Japanese people are treated in America, the treatment of Chinese people may be even more sad. I think he’s Chinese. Asians are a small minority in America. This problem is not as simple as whether he is Chinese or Japanese.

坐警官天： (responding to above)

It’s normal. Forget America, it’s like this even in our own country.

吴卬：

Americans beating Americans, what are you guys getting so excited for?

陈龙zero：

Chinese people are second-class citizens in America, whereas Americans are first-class citizens in China.

What do you think?

A lone Chinese teenager is beaten by a group of Chinese and white teens in Chicago, Illinois, United States.

Thanks to chinaSMACK readers Jeremy, Greg, samgyapseol, and others for letting us know about the video on YouTube.

From NetEase:

Jilin City Beijing Liaison Office worker shows off wealth on Sina Weibo

Summary: January 12th, the displays of wealth on the verified Sina Weibo [microblog] account of “Jilin City Beijing Liaison Office worker Gao Yue’er” attracted netizens’ attention. Gao Yue’er showed off the Chanel shoes, Cartier watch, Miu Miu purse, ’82 Lafite and other luxury items she had purchased while shopping.

Exposed: Government office worker showing off wealth on microblog

Following Guo Meimei falling into the whirlpool of public opinion after showing off her wealth on her microblog, “Jilin City Beijing Liaison Office worker Gao Yue’er” also attracted the questioning of netizens for showing off luxury goods on her verified Weibo microblog.

January 12th, a netizen revealed on Weibo that “Gao Yue’er”, a “Jilin City Beijing Liaison Office staff member”, was at the moment showing off the results of her shopping in Macau, her luxury purchases including a 52,300 yuan diamond-encrusted Cartier watch, ’82 Lafite, Miu Miu purse, and Chanel shoes. After this netizens posted this, it immediately led to many netizens forwarding it. Many netizens jokingly called her “Gao Meimei”.

What was odd was that once she was exposed, “Gao Yue’er” quickly deleted all of her microblog posts that involved displays of wealth, changed the name of her microblog account, and cancelled her verified account status. In doing so, “Gao Yue’er” not only failed to quell the questioning, she attracted even more netizen attention to herself. Many netizens posted screenshots of “Gao Yue’er” microblog, showing that she often visited high-end places and drove an Audi sports car.

A playlist of various Chinese television news reports about this “Gao Yue’er” (aka “Gao Meimei”) incident can be found on Youku, such as the following which has over a million views 3 days after it was uploaded:

The above news report shares similar information as the above NetEase article. For example, it shows Gao Yue’er’s Sina Weibo profile page before and after, as well as the brands and retail prices of the items she showed off through photos posted on her Weibo, including one t-shirt that cost over 2000 RMB.

Jilin government officials deny that she is one of their people while Sina representatives say the documents she submitted for verifying her identity were discovered to be fake after an investigation, and they promise to improve their procedures for verifying the identities of account holders. However, netizens point out that Sina promised the same thing last year following the Guo Meimei controversy but a similar incident has happened again. Other netizens suspect Sina has been bought off.

Comments from Youku:

诗城风:

She can do whatever she wants, is having money and spending it however one wants a crime? Fuck, I’m also a poor devil but I won’t criticize others. If you’re poor, then work hard to make money. Steal or rob if you want, if you have the ability.

HinaKuroKami:

Yet another person who wants to become famous.

Z人物:

I really don’t understand something! So showing off some money and some purses is showing off wealth? I too can find some of these things and put them on a website! Does that mean I’m a member of the second-generation rich [the children of wealthy parents]?

鞑子顶锅:

Fuck, this ugly and she wants to copy Guo Meimei? At least Guo Meimei wasn’t ugly to the point where you couldn’t even look at her.

藍色世界:

What value is there in reporting this kind of thing? There isn’t any freshness/novelty at all. After all the fuss and controversy, it’s still the same end result, what use is it? I really don’t feel any envy at all.

plusboy:

Big deal, what is there to show off>? Be careful of that Nanjing guy shooting you dead [referring to an armed robber currently at large and wanted in China]. The prostitutes in upscale clubs are no worse than you and your lousy crap. Some women have a bit of money and they lose composure.

boyful:

China has a bunch of poor people. If you don’t show of wealth, do you show off poverty?! Only showing off wealth becomes famous.

JeffonZhao:

Relax, trust in the strength of human flesh search. Within 2-3 days, this girl will definitely be exposed.

Ve时福热骄:

Forget it, its fucking just a Sina publicity stunt. They’re [Sina] all too eager for some people to go show off their wealth/possessions [on Sina Weibo], to get more traffic. Fucking disgusting, can’t compare to the penguin [referring to Tencent Weibo, a competing microblogging service in China, whose mascot is a penguin].

美眉女女:

Sina’s stupid cunt employees will certify as verified the account of anyone who applies without actually verifying their identities… How about I go apply as some ambassador of a foreign country and you certify me? 2B.
