From Youth Times:

On October 29, the Nanxun Court in Huzhou City, Zhejiang province sentenced a rape case. Two defendants raped a girl who had just finished high school and were judged guilty, and each of the men received a three-year-prison term. The criminal charge was identified as a “temporary crime on a whim” (临时性的即意犯罪), so relatively light sentences were imposed.

But most people haven’t heard the phrase “temporary crime on a whim”, so this judgment attracted a huge controversy. Within a few days, the discussion on the matter was very hot at Tianya, NetEase and other forums. A netizen questioned that he had only heard of temporary worker and temporary plan, but not temporary, permanent or long-term rape. Some netizens suspected the court was cheating on this case in order to let the two defendants off easy.

Background of the Case:

On the evening of June 10, 2009, two men, Qiu and Cai who were employed as civilian police assistants in the city of Hangzhou, took out two girls, Chen and Shen, for dinner. All of them had a lot of alcohol. Chen is not a good drinker, so she was very intoxicated when the dinner was over.

In order to sober Chen up, Cai took everybody with his car to a hotel and rented a room. After they got into the room, Qiu and Cai sexually assaulted Chen while she was unconscious and unable to resist. When Chen woke up, she found herself lying naked in a bed in a hotel room.

The local court in Hangzhou, based on the facts of the case, decided that the the crime was temporary because there was no discussion before the crime was committed. Afterward, the defendants surrendered to the police and tried to make amends with the victim, so the court sentenced an appropriately mitigating punishment: the two defendants would get three years’ imprisonment.

Chinese netizens’ Comments－If the judge could mitigate the cruelty of “temporary rape,” then what about “temporary robbery and murder”?

The sentence was posted online, and it immediately led to a huge discussion among netizens.  Online commenters put forward their different opinions of the “temporary crime”.

“辽河鱼”:

“Temporary” is an informal, and short-term behavior. Does it mean that there is an “informal” crime of rape? Is there any difference between short-term rape and long-term rape? If this case is an exception and then the “temporary crimes on a whim” happen again, will the criminals be punished lightly?

wulonghe123:

Temporary crime on a whim? If crimes could be temporary, permanent, and long-term, may I ask the judges: Which rape is not temporary?

Rabbitrun:

Courts used the phrase to explain that the crime is not premeditated. “Temporary rape on a whim” is similar to the “passion murder”, and there is subjective difference with vicious and premeditated crime.

无锡网友:

I am also very concerned about this problem, these four people drank a lot, but still drove? It was not improvised. If I passed by a bank, and tried to steal money, is it also improvised?

广东网友:

About the term “temporary”, I’ve only heard about temporary workers and plans. I’ve never heard that the crime can be “temporary” and sentenced lightly. I think there is no rapist would be so stupid to admit that he was premeditated and planned to commit a crime, right?

Statements from Experts – There are different points of view.

“A temporary crime on a whim is the crime committed under the mental state of temporary willingness. Generally, there was no prior premeditation. Afterward, the defendants surrendered to the police actively, and got an understanding from the victim, so an appropriate mitigating punishment is possible.” Lawyer Li Hui from Zhejiang Hai Hao Law Firm explained that, simply, the defendants seeing a certain scene, suddenly conceived a crime.

Lawyer Li said that the “temporary crime on a whim” is an opposite concept to a premeditated crime. Premeditated crimes cause more damage to the society. Premeditated criminals would think of a good way out, meanwhile “temporary criminals” don’t. “Temporary crime on a whim” leads to smaller harm, so the crime can be judged lighter.

However, a judge from another court in Hangzhou has a different view. The judge, who requested anonymity, claimed in the interview that although there are premeditated crimes, not premeditated crimes, conspiracy, complicity and surrender in criminal law, there is no “temporary crime on a whim’ or “active surrender”. The “temporary crime on a whim” seems newly created.

The judge further questioned the most confusing thing: that when two criminals successively rape the victim, it is typically gang rape.

If the case were identified as gang rape, according to “The People’s Republic of China Criminal Law” clause 236, item 3, article 4  “where two or more people gang rape a girl,” they should be sentenced to more than a decade in prison, life imprisonment or death, which has a significant difference from their three-year term.

Judgment: Temporary Crime

What do you think? Does the court’s punishment and explanation make sense? Is it because the men immediately surrendered themselves to the police after their crime?

Earlier this year at a Christie’s auction regarding the sell of two bronze Zodiac Heads caused uproars of nationalistic sentiments online. Today, another auction at the Sotheby’s Auction House in London once again provoked in the minds of the Chinese netizens the past histories of humiliation and loss. The main item of attraction is Emperor Qianlong’s own jade seal, estimated to fetch up to 600,000 British Pounds. Historically, the Imperial Seal represents the very raison d’être of a dynasty. In fact, the character for country “国” contained the character “玉”, or jade, as a important symbol for national legitimacy. In addition, the other item up for auction includes chinaware and ironically relics from the Cultural Revolution.

From ifeng:

November 2nd, attendants at London’s Sotheby’s Auction House displayed Qing Dynasty Qianlong “Treasure of eight journey and perennial thoughts”, Cross Dragon Imperial Seal and the Tianqing Jade Seal (Estimated: 400,000 and 600,000 Pound). London’s Sotheby’s Auction House will on November 4th 2009 hold an auction of Chinese porcelain and handcraft. Items up for auction includes Han Dynasty glazed horses, Qianlong Imperial Seals, and Cultural Revolution Era relics.

Local time November 2nd, 2009. London, England, Workers at Sotheby's Auction House displayed works of Chinese porcelain, depicting Mao Zedong and peasant students together.

Comments from ifeng:

大漠沙尘:

This is the true face of Western thieves under the guise of culture and human rights! Look at those finely dressed savages! Chinese people will take back everything that once belonged to us!

cqyangz:

Shameless British people; Humiliating chapter in recent Chinese history.

莲花如梦:

When did these treasures flow abroad???

山丁子:

Western democracy is built on the foundation of theft.

litielei:

This you cannot blame on others, who let our government at the time be so worthless. In the future when we are strong, we will take it back from their hands.

fenghuangpy:

That poster must be a joke! I do not even know how they obtained it.

a6798024:

The Old Summer Palace is a national humiliation, but it does have bad and good outcomes. If those relics were not looted, then they will probably be destroyed in the extermination campaigns during the Culture Revolution.

jobenc:

Our diplomats can only “Protest strongly regarding this matter”, can’t do much else.

Comments from NetEase:

网易陕西榆林网友:

Westerners like to boast their civilization and morality; do not spit on the street, do not throw trash everywhere, and look down on Chinese people’s qualities. In reality, the uncivilized and greedy ones are them. In the past, those who killed all the Native Americans, exported opium across the world, colonized the whole globe, kill and looted everywhere. Aren’t those people their [Westerner] ancestors? Those born of wild animals, will always be animals, what civilization can they have.

网易海南海口网友:

Never forget national humiliation~~

网易广东深圳网友:

That bird [Mao], purposely act as if he is a head taller than the peasants, scum, why don’t he put on a Dragon robe [Imperial]!

网易山东烟台网友:

The Eight Nation Alliance were really low class, loot if you want, but why smash and burn the thing you can’t carry. Despicable, give us back the Old Summer Palace.

网易山东济南网友:

Now is not America invading Vietnam, nor China protecting Vietnam, now is Vietnam intruding on China!!!

网易陕西西安网友:

Wow, Mao really must’ve been a great man, that height is at least 2 meters right?

The Imperial Seal was sold today (November 5th) for 3.15 million British Pounds.

From Mop:

Yesterday [Oct. 31st] around 8PM, more than 100 people carried a gurney with a corpse and surrounded Kunming Guandu District Guanshang Street Office Fude District Branch Chengguan’s entrance, and started to burn paper money [fake money for the dead to use in the underworld]. Including spectators, there were hundreds at the scene. A large police force arrived and the situation was mostly contained. But up to 3AM today, the congregated people still haven’t left…

The direct reason for this incident is, a three-wheeled-bike driver whose tool to make a living had been confiscated, and died….

Reporters rushed to the scene, and heard one the taxi drivers talking through walkie-talkies, claiming that the chengguan had beat a person to death. Walking into Fude Village, everyone was talking about this. Curious people all rushed to watch, the nearby streets were full of parked cars, including a large fleet of three-wheeled bikes. A herd of civilian police and security were gathered, holding their batons, as though waiting for something to happen.

Near the entrance of the chengguan branch, hundreds stood in protest, a police car was parked on the side. A few drunken men were pushing the police car around.

Outside the gates of Fude Village Council, the police has cordoned off the area, civilian police stood in formation like a human wall. Within the taped off area, a body lay on a gurney, along with documents of the deceased and a thick stack of paper money.

Reporters later came to a room with a sign that said “Guandu District Guanshang St Office Fude District Branch Chengguan”, with the intentions of talking to the chengguan, but the room was deserted. Outside, a man pointed to a fleet of confiscated three-wheel bikes in the yard, and said that these had all been recently confiscated. The one in the middle covered by fabric belonged to the victim. A life ended because of this bike, tears came to the man’s eyes as he talked. A woman beside him began to wail uncontrollably. Spectators claimed that the crying woman was the victim’s sister, his only relative in Kunming.

Bike confiscated by chengguan as he waited for customers

According to the victim’s younger sister, the victim’s name is Pan Huaiyong, a-37-year-old, from Zhenxiong, Zhaotong, Yunnan Province. His wife disappeared, leaving him alone with two children, and his parents to take care of. With no other options, he came to Kunming to work as a three-wheel bike driver. From what she knows, on the 27th, her brother was outside Desheng Hotel waiting for customers. A few chengguan approached and said that they were confiscating her brother’s bike. He tried to run away with the bike. The chengguan gave chase and beat him up, before confiscating the bike by force.

She said, there were even reporters who interviewed her brother.

Her brother makes a living by driving the three wheeled bike, without it, he has no income. The next day he went to the chengguan office to ask for the confiscated bike, but was beaten again.

October 28th, Witness: He was attacked by a group

Eye witness Wang Yaoming is from Sichuan, is not related to the victim, and doesn’t know him. But on this case, he is willing to attest that everything said by the victim’s sister is true. According to him, that day he gave his wife a ride to Fude Village, parked the bike along the road, and it was unexpectedly confiscated. He went to pick his bike up, but chengguan demanded 200RMB. Wang thought the price was too high, and since they won’t give any receipts, not even a handwritten note, he didn’t agree. It was 12PM, coincidentally Pan Huaiyong was also there to pick up a bike, he didn’t have 200RMB, but stubbornly wanted to take his bike. 4 or 5 people rushed up, hit and kicked him, these people wore uniforms that said chengguan on the sleeves. A few wore civilian clothes, 4 or 5 more of them stood around and watched. Pan Huaiyong was beaten up until he couldn’t move and collapsed onto the floor, but they continued to kick his head. He heard Pan scream when he was kicked.

October 29th: It was already too late when the landlord found him

Pan Huaiyong’s sister said, after her brother was beaten by chengguan for a second time, without getting his bike back, she doesn’t know how he got back, but after he got back home he went to sleep. Since he doesn’t have money, he didn’t go to the hospital.

Yesterday around 4PM, she received a call from her brother’s landlord, saying that normally her brother wakes up early to go to work, but didn’t get up at all yesterday. The landlord felt it was weird, called out loud for him but received no response. He then opened the door to the victim’s room, and found the victim unable to speak. The landlord found her phone number on his cell phone and called.

She immediately went over with her husband. Her brother’s breathing was very weak, and didn’t have the strength to talk. Her husband carried him to the nearby clinic, where the doctors treated him for over an hour but couldn’t save him. He left this world. To seek justice from the chengguan, family and friends carried the victim’s body here.

Hospital security: More than 10 men took him away with the bed

According to the clinic’s security guard, not long after the victim’s death, more than 100 men rushed into the patient’s room. The entire clinic was in chaos, some were crying, some were screaming. It was the first time he’d ever seen anything like this. All he heard was people saying they wanted to take the victim to chengguan’s front door. More than 10 men went ahead and along with the bed, took the body away. Along the street, crying and screaming were heard. More and more spectators turned up, there were more than 500 within minutes. As for details about where the victim was injured, what kind of injuries, what drugs were used, the clinic’s pharmacist claimed that she was only responsible for dispensing the drugs, and didn’t remember which ones were used. The doctor on duty also claimed that he had just started working and doesn’t know the details.

When family members went to pick up the death certificate, the head of the clinic claimed that they cannot give death certificates, only proof of health conditions. Right now the matter is under investigation through the relevant departments, and the family has been told to come back in a few days.

The authority in charge of the clinic told reporters that they are still reporting the incident to the relevant departments. At the time when the patient arrived, his condition was severe, and they immediately tried to resuscitate him to no avail. Yesterday, at 11:30PM, reporters saw Guandu District Law Enforcement officials at the clinic carrying out an investigation. Law Enforcement Official Mo Shaohua says, the results of the investigation will be made public as soon as they become available.

Fude Police: ‘Chengguan beating him to death’ is only a claim

According to the police officer on duty, since yesterday’s situation was so chaotic, more then 30 policemen arrived at the scene to keep order, leaving only 2 officers at the station. Right now, the situation is mostly under control, they are currently trying to get more personnel to the scene to help. This officer says, the family members’ emotions are understandable, but their actions are not right. As for the claims that chengguan beat a man to death, he says that’s only according to the family, and will have to wait for the conclusion of the investigation.

Today morning 1:50AM, reporters tried to interview the chengguan office, but was unable to get in touch. Then, reporters called Kunming Chengguan Center’s phone number. Representative #8 said that they also heard the reports. Relevant authorities are already at the scene to investigate and handle the matter. According to him, this is possibly related to ‘temporarily employed’ chengguan, but the details on what happened are currently unknown, and that we would have to wait for the police report.

Chengguan again!!

Useless, they’re all “temporary workers”

Robbery+deliberate battery causing death=Work ethic problem. Equation of the river crab dynasty.

观音菩萨打电脑:

Give me 800 chengguan, I can liberate Taiwan.

囧囧有神经病入膏肓:

From now on, chengguan not beating people to death would be news.

大椒包鸡蛋:

It’s not only chengguan…those ‘police assistants’ and such, who make less than 800RMB for salary, the rest are all self-earned income, they’re all mobsters posing as law enforcement…the law enforcement/police are rarely civilized, despite what they say…I believe there are rarely good officers…in this river crab society…

过来的人:

Everyone stop the fuss, leaders in Kunming are coming up with a response as we speak to contain the situation. Mostly likely the conclusion would be that the victim had a disease that suddenly killed him or he committed suicide. Our leaders usually use something like this. It’s a harmonious society.

zzp635346645:

Corrupt! Beating people at will, and they’re supposed to be law enforcement!!! Immediately execute them! It’s not easy for commoners to make a living! Fuck!

Do chengguan want to become the public enemy?

Not only derogatory terms irritate people. Phrases that are too often heard or spoken can drive listeners nuts too. Different cultures and languages may have different “most hated words” according to situations. Researchers at Oxford University drew up a list they found annoying in spoken English and the top ten offenders are:

1 – At the end of the day

We use this expression before we say what we believe to be the most important fact of a situation. In conclusion and when all is said and done have the same meaning.

2 – Fairly unique

This is an example of an oxymoron – two words used together which have, or seem to have, opposite meanings. If something is unique it is the only one of its type, therefore something can be ‘unique’ or ‘not unique’; it can not be fairly unique.

3 – I personally

People find this phrase annoying because I and personally have the same meaning. When we use I there is no real need to use personally. I is personal.

4 – At this moment in time

This expression simply means now or at the moment. It is felt that this expression is used to much and overblown – longer or more impressive than it should be.

5 – With all due respect

We use this expression before we say something impolite or before we disagree. Many people dislike this phrase because they feel that it makes it OK to be rude to someone if we use this expression first. Although we say we respect someone in the phrase, we then say something which is not respectful.

6 – Absolutely

This word is an adverb which means ‘very’ or ‘completely’ – The film was absolutely wonderful. People find absolutely annoying when it is used to mean yes or I agree.

7 – It’s a nightmare

A nightmare is a very scary dream you have when sleeping. It’s a nightmare is an idiom which means ‘a very bad event or experience.’ It is felt that people use this expression too much in spoken English.

8 – Shouldn’t of

We use this expression to express regret about something we have (or haven’t) done. It is also used to criticize the actions of others. It is not good English – the correct expression is shouldn’t have.

9 – 24/7

This expression refers to 24 hours a day; 7 days a week. It is used to emphasize something that never stops or is continuous. People find this expression annoying because it is office-speak, not always true and the word always is better suited than 24/7.

10 – It’s not rocket science

This expression means ‘It’s not difficult’ – rocket science is difficult; this isn’t. This expression is disliked because it’s a cliché (a comment that is very often made and is therefore not original and not interesting).

With all due respect, American English speakers have different perspectives as always. A recent Marist poll shown the most annoying phrases to Americans are “whatever”, “you know”, “it is what it is”, “anyway” and “at the end of the day” offending.

So what do Chinese people think of offensive phrases at the end of the day? You know, China is a large place and people speak many different dialects so Beijingers may want smack some heads with bricks when they hear the almighty ending “lah” while a southerner may be annoyed by Beijing people’s omnipotent 儿话音 and want them to iron out their tongues. Okay, it’s not politically correct harmonious to say so and I shouldn’t of put southerners and northerners onto such an opposing position since you know every host in CCTV’s talk show wants an adorable Hong Kong/Taiwan tune and I guarantee that you will be recognized as a Japanese with embarrassing fairly unique Chinese accent if you ask roads to a teenager with “小孩” instead of “小孩儿”. Absolutely!

Anyway, a netizen named 恶魔岛1989 on popular Chinese BBS forum NetEase came up with a lovely list of hated terms that had been used 24/7. These phrases are:

1. A daily common phrase: 随便 [whatever]

Ask my wife where to go. “随便～”
Ask my wife what to eat. “随便～”
… “随便～”
At the end I have to decide on everything but she always picks bones from an egg. That really pissed me off!

2. In a supervisor/leader’s speeches: 下面我简单说两句… [Let me phrase it in short...]

Right, in every meeting and ceremony they started with this phrase, “Let me phrase it in short …”. However, your are lucky and should thank for their benefaction if that speech ends within thirty minutes.

3. Restaurant waiters/waitresses: 再等两分钟，马上就好… [Hold on for two more minutes, it's coming soon..."]

Be prepared to wait for thirty minutes. It’s a nightmare especially in a busy Guangzhou restaurant.

4. Train station broadcasts: 列车晚点，具体到达时间不定… [The train is delayed, specific arrival time uncertain...]

I was upset for every time I listened to such voice in train station’s resting hall. I can bear it once or twice but for so many times? I feel dubious even disgusted.

5. Parents, friends, lovers: 我是为你好… [I am doing this for your own good...]

C’mon! I know you guys wouldn’t kill me but is it necessary to always start speaking with this phrase to make an emphasis?

6. Talent shows: 然后……然后……然后…… [Then...and then...and then...]

This has became a cliché for almost all performer to make themselves innocent no matter they are promoted or eliminated in a competition.

7. Netizens: 我来818：××的那些事 [Let me gossip a little: the thing that happened to XX]

[Commonly used by the "Title Party" 标题党, people who makes posts with sensational titles but lame contents.]

8. Conferences/meetings: 你感觉呢？你认为呢？[How do you feel? What do you think?]

It’s obvious a decision already made by the higher-up but they wouldn’t admit it, always gabble a lot and try to “persuade” us to vote for it [to show the company respects everyone's opinion]. After half an hour of spouting droplets, they throw out the surprise questions: “What do you feel about it? What do you think?”.

9. Internet post titles: 史上最牛的… [The most niu X in history...]

This is such a time of niubility. Ever since “in history” and “most niu” went popular, a small sheep that eat meat from bones became “the most niubi sheep in history”.

10. People asking for directions: 你好，同志！[Hello, comrade!]

For many, “comrade” had already lost its original meaning.

The word comrade 同志, literally means “people with the same spirit, goal, ambition, etc”, was introduced by Sun Yat-sen in the early 20th century to refer to his fellow revolutionists and the word was later borrowed by the Communist Party. At this moment in time, I personally believe people in northern China, government and state-owned enterprises still use it as a formal addressing but in southern China especially Hong Kong/Cantonese/Taiwan it got LGBT content since 1989 when its firstly used with such meaning in a homosexual movie festival in Hong Kong.

From NetEase:

Summary: From the night of October 28 to yesterday [October 29] morning, Zhengzhou public security bureau sent out 300 police officers, raiding prostitution and gambling houses. Nine people were arrested while two saunas/bath houses and an arcade were shut down. An undercover police officer with a shaved head first kicked open a door, then sternly interrogated a naked cowering prostitute, one hand seizing tightly the hair of the naked prostitute, with the scene of her face facing upwards causing great controversy.

…

Whether it is in the video of the scene of the raid or in the photographs released afterwards, an undercover police officer with a shaved head attracted the attention of many netizens. He first kicked open the room’s door, then sternly interrogated a naked cowering prostitute, “How many? How many tonight? Speak!”

When the prostitute lied saying that she had no business tonight, he cleverly took out the transaction record and declared “A total of 26″.

The most controversial image is that of this “bald guy” seizing tightly the naked prostitute’s hair and forcing her face upward.

After this photograph was published, it aroused immense controversy on the internet, with netizen 中华热儿 inquiring: “Look at this baldy’s behavior, is this woman a murderer? Is it necessary to treat a single woman this way? How many women willingly become “sex workers”? Or isn’t it out of necessity? Everyone take a look at this woman’s expression, truly very lost, very helpless. And who knows what her background story is?

Netizen 倚天大剑 asked: “Is there a legal expert who can answer whether publishing this naked photo of the prostitute is legal?”

These photos are from another NetEase article and a Sogou article.

The police officer pulling her hair and forcing her face up is important because during these situations the prostitutes and customers usually try to hide their face, so he is forcing her to be exposed and shamed.

A video news report: (over 1 million views so far)

Comments from NetEase:

网易中国网友:

Prostitutes are the lowest level of society, earning difficult money, who have they provoked? If [the government/police] want to do something meaningful, how about arresting corrupt officials?! Motherfuckers, running dogs that only bully the weak but fear the strong!!

网易河南郑州网友:

What is wrong with that shaved head [police officer]? What a real fucking bastard. Were I the prostitute, I would have immediately hit his “grandson” [penis].

网易北京朝阳网友:

Inhuman…law enforcement officers need to be civil when enforcing the law too…

网易广东广州白云网友:

With both arms and both legs, what job can’t they do? So why do they insist on being prostitutes, if not because they don’t want to suffer hardship, because they’re lazy? If they’re afraid to lose face, then don’t be prostitutes! There’s no reason to be sympathetic.

网易安徽合肥网友:

I think that shaved head guy should be hacked to death…
[We/society] should pay more attention to those women who sell sex,
and severely punish the men who patronize whores!!!

网易上海网友:

Sending out 300 police officers, but only catching 9 criminals! Only ghosts [idiots] would believe that! Many were all warned from within beforehand! [This is just] a show~~

网易美国网友:

Have prostitutes selling their bodies hurt other people?
Prostitutes’ money is much cleaner than public officials who only take money but do nothing, than chengguan who only know how to bully street peddlers, than corrupt officials who suck the money and blood of the people, than businessmen who build tofu dregs buildings and produce poisonous food and faulty merchandise, than black society. Even though I feel them choosing this kind of lifestyle is questionable.

网易河南郑州网友:

They were already people who don’t want face [are shameless], so could they still want dignity? Ridiculous.

网易北京网友:

This society was not ruined by prostitutes, but by those people who can claim expenses [government officials, businessmen, etc.]. If they did not exist, then prostitutes would not a market. If you want to get rid of the root of the problem, then society must first arrest these people. What use is arresting a few prostitutes?

网易山东烟台网友:

There are a group of people, who fuck people after taking off their uniforms, and control people after putting their uniforms on. This too is a public harm to society.

网易贵州毕节网友:

The police officer is performing his duty, so what is everyone else making a fuss about? Truly without class.
You guys feel sorry for those women that sell sex?
Then you guys might as well go bring them home and take care of them as your mothers,
why whine about it here?
Truly without class!!!

网易江苏苏州网友:

Without customers, how could there be prostitutes? It has always been a supply and demand relationship. Prostitutes are despised by many people, but who knows whether those people have ever secretly gone to prostitutes?
Perhaps being a prostitute for many people is to satisfy their own desires, but there is definitely a portion for home it is a last resort.

Taiwan Holds Largest Homosexual Parade

October 31, enjoying great interest, the seventh Taiwan Gay Parade was boisterously held on Kaigedalan Boulevard. With an estimated 20,000 people participating, it can be said to be Taiwan's largest ever gay carnival event.

Comments from NetEase:

网易广西南宁网友:

This bunch of deviant/abnormal things!

网易辽宁大连网友:

No big deal. As long as one is happy, then it is fine. At least, they can be themselves. Nor are they obstructing/disturbing other people.

网易广东广州网友:

Those people criticizing homosexuality, are you guys noble? Don’t tell me that you guys finding prostitutes and playing women is complying with nature’s law! Homosexuality is common amongst gorillas and other animals [evolutionarily] close to humans, a kind of common natural phenomenon! Foolish ignorant people, you do not have to accept it, but can you guys please not hurl abuse! Everyone has the right to choose their own lifestyle, and if one day homosexuality becomes mainstream, won’t your heterosexuality and playing women also be labeled as foreign species, garbage, scum, etc.??? Those who are criticizing/condemning are pitiful! And sad!!!

网易四川成都网友:

Boli [玻璃, literally "glass" but here means "gays/homosexuality"] is not illegal, but I definitely despise boli.

网易上海网友:

Men and women coming together to create the next generation is of course not the only goal, but what we can be certain of is, God create people so that only men with women can reproduce the next generation, and not men with men and women with women. If the latter were possible, wouldn’t it have been easier for God to just have created one sex? So, do not violate God’s will, it will bring down Heaven’s wrath, Heaven would not approve!

网易上海卢湾网友:

Every person has a way of facing life and living life, and no one has the right to meddle with it. Even if you want to meddle in it, you wouldn’t be able to, so please respect the lifestyle of all the people around you! Hurling abuse at and belittling others shows that you are uncivilized and lack proper upbringing!!! No one can guarantee whether or not their descendants will be homosexuals. If your children were homosexuals, what will you do? Have you already criticized/condemned your children here??? Do not use your own ignorance to harm other people!!!

网易广西南宁网友:

From the moment I have become aware of things, I only know that only men and women can XXOO [have sex].
Women with women, that is called deviant/abnormal.
Men with men, that is called disgusting/gross + deviant/abnormal.

网易湖北武汉网友:

Seeing the majority of people’s situation as reasonable, but seeing the minority of people’s actions as unreasonable. Seeing heterosexuality as natural law, but discriminating against homosexuality is yet another example of this tendency/trend.

网易河南郑州网友:

Homosexuality is simply against the natural law, a bunch of sick people, a perverted/deviant group of people!

网易广东广州天河网友:

Homosexuals should indeed be sent into a concentration camp to be humanely destroyed, otherwise [they will] infect AIDS and whatever everywhere…

网易天津网友:

Having a disease/problem [referring to homosexuality] is not your fault, but coming out to disgust people is not right!

网易黑龙江哈尔滨网友:

May those homosexuals quickly contract AIDS, so this world can once again return to normal, thank you.

网易辽宁盘锦网友:

There have always been a lot of people who are puzzled about this special group, so if you’re going to have a parade, have a parade, but when each of you make it like SM [sadomasochism], do you think this is going to help people accept you guys, sympathize with you guys???

网易广东深圳网友:

Love does not discriminate over sex, as long as two people who love each other are together, why must it be heterosexual? Sometimes, only when both are the same sex can there be even better communication and understanding. There is nothing right or wrong about homosexuals, only mutual love, so why can’t they be together? What is the reason for it being wrong?
To like a person is to like that person, and not their sex….

网易广东广州网友:

Those homosexuals are truly TM disgusting. Especially the fake men [female cross-dressers?], just seeing them makes me want to beat them up, the pussy/cunt on your body is completely a waste of resources!

网易江苏网友:

Homosexuals, as long as they do not affect other people, why is it necessary to look down upon them?

Continued from Part 1, here are more translated experiences of Chinese men with perverted girls posted on a popular KDS topic titled: “Everyone who has encountered the dirtiest/most perverted girls, what experiences have you had?”

The lou zhu (original poster of the topic) wrote:

Everyone says men are perverted/dirty, but actually there are perverted girls also. Everyone, share your experiences.

Replies from KDS:

晴天雨:

There are still some difference between a girl being perverted/horny and a guy being perverted/horny, they are more reserved.

Once I was eating with a few friends, eating barbecue or something I forgot…the kind where you need to put your legs/feet down into a hole under the table, and the person next to me used her foot underneath the table to touch me, and what more, she kept going higher and higher…on the surface she was still just chatting with the other people, haha, I think this kind is the most interesting.

模子熊猫:

Every time we ooxx [have sex], she requests to be on top.
She voluntarily sucks my nipples.
She likes pulling my JJ to bed.
She likes walking around naked after taking a bath, then pressing herself on my body rocking around, using my clothes to help her dry her body…

山崎龙二:

Was forced to go watch “Xi Yang Yang Hui Tai Lang“.
In the last row, was forced to allow her to give me a BJ.

[I] helplessly watched Xi Yang Yang while getting a BJ.

哈哈:

Summer, after swimming at the beach, everyone wore their swimming suits to the restaurant where we got a private room to eat, with me, a young girl, the young girl’s boyfriend. Me and the young girl were sitting across from each other, while the young girl’s boyfriend sat next to her. The young girl was chatting with us while drinking orange juice, while using her foot to rub my jj under the table, and eventually using her toe to pull down my swimming shorts, using her foot to masturbate me, fuck, good thing I was covered with a tower, otherwise I bet I would have been screwed if discovered by her bf. In the end, I ejaculated on the young girl’s leg. Not sure how she took care of that.

虹口小新:

In a private room [in a nightclub or KTV], she directly pulled me onto her body, and mumbled: “X, I really want you to fuck me!”

I was immediately erect!

龌俚龌龊:

Uh…
Went to a bar/nightclub together…she drank a little and started hugging/holding me saying it was hot…
then I became drunk too and in a daze, we went to get a room…
and so my first time [virginity] was lost this way…

Dohigh:

After a ONS [one night stand], the young girl asked me to call another girl to have a threesome.
I declined, afraid of it being fraud/a trick.
Actually, now that I think about it, I rather regret [my decision].

DJ-Maimai:

The moment a woman becomes perverted/horny, a man basically will be unable to control himself, unless this woman’s appearance is too disgusting.

There are also a lot of young girls who are intentionally perverted to capture your heart. Hehe

小悟空大人:

Once I helped a friend drive on an outing. We were in front. While I was driving, she suddenly pulled down my fly, pulled out my little brother [penis], and lowered her head down to suck. I was surprised, and it felt so good I almost pounded the steering wheel wildly.

GrayHeaven:

Girl 1: At a bar/nightclub, she pulled me to the restroom, but there no open toilets, so she pulled me to the sofa across the restroom, opened my fly, gave me a handjob, then a BJ, and all I could do was laugh nervously to the people across from us.
Girl 2: Said she no longer wanted to be a virgin, told me to go open a room for us, then told me to find another guy to join us…

To be continued…we will translate more soon.

What perverted girl experiences do you have? Or are you too shy to share?

On a very normal night, a reporter saw a lot of people waiting outside the Xiangya Hospital. They had been waiting all night long, just for a “passport” to the doctors. The following contains her observations and opinions, plus some of her photos.

From NetEase:

Everyday, there are always a lot of people waiting outside the Xiangya Hospital. The waiting is just for the "passport" to the doctors.

I am aware of why people wanted to get close to the gate, why they waited on the ice-cold floor, why they carried their bleary-eyed babies in the cold wind. For all the scalpers, getting a treatment number is just a business, but for the patients and the weak, it is stubborn self-preservation. I observed the hospital for 5 nights, countless faces passed by in front of my camera, from the guarded, to the anxious, to relaxed and finally to numb because they did not have any more time to focus on me. They were concerned only with the result of a night of waiting.

There was a baby asleep on her mom's back.

There was a light rain outside. People were queued in the freezing cold, waiting for the hospital open.

Outside the hospital, Mr Huang was covering his 18-year-old son with a blanket. His son was caught up in a pyramid scheme in Guangdong province. In order to escape, he jumped off a building.

At 5:30 am, the door was opened. As if it was the 100 meter sprint, people rushed to the outpatient hall after the starting gun rang.

31-year-old Yang Yan looked at her husband aggrievedly. She had been waiting since 2 am, but she fell down in the crowd, and was stepped on by a lot of people. She was waiting to register her mother and husband. But she went to the emergency room because she broke her shoulder.

Every night, there are countless waiting outside the Xiangya Hospital. It is only for one purpose: meeting a doctor.

Two tired people were squatting on the ground, helplessly.

In the Xiangya Hospital, there was a fight between two guys because one of them jumped the queue. This kind thing happens every day in the hospital.

Comments from NetEase:

网易浙江杭州网友：

Everybody knows that Xiangya is a very good hospital, and people want to go to good hospitals. This hospital charges reasonable prices, and my brother goes to this hospital every time when he is sick. In order to make more money, some hospitals ask people to do a lot of unnecessary tests. A lot of people are from small villages, so they don’t know the dark secret. Thousands of RMB is just wasted on the tests.

网易江苏盐城网友：

This phenomena exists not only in Changshao, but also in Shanghai and other places. Why is it so hard to see a doctor in China?!

网易火星网友［可悲］：

Once again, a test of the Chinese conscience and humanity. How sad, indeed! What I see in the current society: money comes first and then life. What will happen next?

网易中国网友：

My poor compatriots!

网易天津网友：

Those stupid guys that all went to the same hospital! You deserve it!

网易广东湛江网友：

We need more private hospitals. Improvement comes with competition. Get more university students trained to be doctors and send them to hospitals. Otherwise, nothing will change.

网易中国网友：

As a doctor, I am very sad when I see this scene. Primary hospitals are breaking down, meanwhile, big hospitals have way too many people. I don’t understand. What’s wrong with Chinese people?

网易广东深圳网友：

There are a lot of scalpers in the queues. Hunan Television has reported this a million times. The tickets are in the hands of scalpers. They charge 200 kuai for each ticket. People who are really sick can’t beat those strong scalpers in a queue.

网易湖南株洲网友［呵呵］：

Doctors can do nothing about this, because they are not administrating the hospitals.

网易湖南长沙网友：

There are so many hospitals, but everybody wants to go to this hospital. Maybe it’s because people don’t trust the other hospitals.

网易广西柳州网友：

Fuck this. There are hospitals everywhere. Is this hospital really so good? Does Huatuo (a very famous doctor in ancient China) work for the hospital?

网易广东佛山网友：

Seeing a doctor is really difficult, expensive, and also annoying.

网易辽宁鞍山网友：

This is the great China.

A necessary lesson for Korean barbecue chefs, often seen when eating barbecue in the Northeast.

兽兽男 怕了吧:

Her spinning [of the knives] is not bad, I bet she grew up spinning pens…

leodias123:

Just those few moments, spinning it here and there, idiot, might be a fake knife too.

不在服务区abc:

What sister is spinning is not a knife, but loneliness.

我不取昵称了:

Fuck.

This method of spinning pens,

I already knew how to do in my second year of junior high school.
