Many Chinese people really liked James Cameron’s “Avatar”. In January, we translated many Chinese netizen reactions to “Avatar” and shared many photographs of Chinese people lining up overnight every day to buy tickets to see the movie. So when “Avatar” lost big awards such as Best Picture and Best Director to “The Hurt Locker” last night during the 82nd Annual Academy Awards [Oscars], many Chinese were very disappointed. For example, on Tianya, one post topic title is: “‘The Hurt Locker’ disposed of ‘Avatar’: The year’s greatest cups.”

From KDS:

Really did not think “The Hurt Locker” was that good, Oscars this year was a mess.

I am not American, so I think it was very average, far from “Black Hawk Down”, not even as good as “Saving Private Ryan”.

I wanted to fall asleep after watching some of it.

Of the six awards, which one was it not worthy of?

I think of the 10 films, this one could be placed last.

Comments from KDS:

油凳子:

The Academy awards movies that contribute to the film industry, not films that contribute to entertainment. All the ones you are talking about are all very strongly entertainment films.

加州的大雕:

Avatar did not contribute to the film industry? What a joke.

Which movie jump-started IMAX? Which movie jump-started 3D? Plus a not bad story and musical score, it should’ve been considered a very ideal film.

But “The Hurt Locker”? Leaving aside Best Picture and Best Director,
this movie is able to win Best Sound Editing, Best Sound Mixing, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Film Editing?

走过路过:

The Hurt Locker is indeed not good, a very strange movie, more like a documentary.

HiDe&#8482:

I also think The Hurt Locker was just average. I didn’t even finish it before I deleted it.

cyb:

A giant amongst dwarfs, plus this movie belongs to America’s “war” films, so what is so strange about it winning, whereas Avatar winning Best Picture would have been strange.

奥特MAN:

Americans’ movie awards, Americans’ movies, so if the Americans think it is good, what is the problem?

clank:

Already winning Best Director, and also giving it Best Picture is indeed a little going too far. I reckon normally [James] Cameron has offended quite a few people, so he was harmonized.

招财:

Haven’t seen it, but the film is for those who pay to watch, not for selection committees who do not pay to watch, so as long as those who pay think it is not good to watch, then it fucking isn’t a good film.

yoyo:

War movie, understand? China has war movies. Americans also have them. If China had Oscars, the winner would be: The Founding of a Republic, The Founding of a Republic, The Founding of a Republic, The Founding of a Republic, The Founding of a Republic, The Founding of a Republic, The Founding of a Republic, The Founding of a Republic, The Founding of a Republic, The Founding of a Republic, The Founding of a Republic, The Founding of a Republic.

"The Founding of a Republic", Chinese stars celebrate the 60th anniversary of the PRC.

ben:

“The Hurt Locker”, a very realistic war film~!! The details were very fine, and it also have a very strong writing team. Those that get it would naturally get it~!! A movie’s review does not just look at the visuals, it must be reviewed from comprehensive angles as well~!! A well-filmed, extremely detailed realistic film will of course be favored~!!

waley:

Only after watching “Avatar” did I understand that the person with the bigger dick between their legs is whoever is listened to;

Only after watching the Oscars did I understand that no matter how big your dick is, it is no match for 《拆“蛋”部队》 [chāi dàn bù duì, a pun of the Chinese name for "The Hurt Locker" 《拆弹部队》 chāi tán bù duì which means "ball/testicle disposal unit"]

albin:

This is the so-called emperor’s new clothes. Those saying this movie is good are actually just IB‘ing.

非鱼:

A very realistic film, after watching it, it is like having personally experienced being an American soldier in Iraq.
Every day hovering on the line between life and death, just when will this war end, and is there an end?

加州的大雕:

A very realistic war film?
Of those who saw the movie, just how many have actually go on the battlefield to fight a battle?
How important is pursuing these details?
What does this movie telling/teaching us?
The brutality of war? That war not only traumatizes our bodies but also our minds? “>The effects of war on the next generation?
Amongst anti-war films, this one is definitely nothing special.

鬼塚:

The Hurt Locker,
I think is better than Avatar.
I saw it 4 times.
LZ is one of those who like watching entertainment films…
while that is a historical film…

伐告诉侬:

If one does not have higher expectations than normal people, how can one be an expert? It is the same domestically and abroad.

罗伯斯庇尔:

A lot of people watching this film as an action movie will definitely be disappointed in the end. The director is only showing the lives of American soldiers in Iraq, their internal world.

This is more difficult to film than explosions, and even more emotionally stimulating.

堪察加半岛:

According to certain people,

why is it necessary to select [winners]?

Why not just distribute prizes according to box office results?

堪察加半岛:

Were Avatar to have gotten the Oscar

then wouldn’t that have been hilarious

that the dignified Academy Award was given to this kind of film.

老油条:

American culture is the “American Dream”. Actually, their aesthetic/taste is also pretty lousy.
I just like big films/blockbusters.

"It's okay...don't be angry..."

Ten days ago, we reported about a beggar that netizens have begun calling “Brother Sharp” (or “Sharp Brother”) for his “sharp/penetrating” eyes and fashionable appearance. He became the hottest news on the Chinese internet. A few days ago, Brother Sharp was reunited with his family. Here is the update:

From Xinmin:

“Brother Sharp’s” real name Cheng Guorong, has two children, wife deceased

Yesterday (March 5) morning, this reporter received news that the relatives of the Ningbo street beggar “Brother Sharp”, that netizens have been following, have been found, and have already arrived in Ningbo while “Brother Sharp” has since already entered the Ningbo City mental hospital.

As it is understood, “Brother Sharp’s” real name is called Cheng Guorong, born 1976, and is from Poyang county of Jiangxi province. Yesterday rushing to reunite is his mother and younger brother. According to “Brother Sharp’s” younger brother Cheng Guosheng, “Brother Sharp” has two children attending school in his hometown, that his wife and father suffered a car accident last year and both have passed away.

After shaving his beard and changing out of his homeless clothes, “Brother Sharp” became a completely different person from the one netizens previously were familiar with. Cheng Guosheng said his older brother came to Ningbo in 2000 with others from his hometown to find work, had still been in contact with his family the past few years, but beginning in 2003,  information from him had stopped. Family members have previously came to Ningbo to find him multiple times, with the most recent time being the year before last. That time, it was his uncle who came to Ningbo to find his nephew, but eventually found no information. Cheng Guosheng thinks his elder brother maybe did not earn much money and thus did not have the face to return home, but as to why he became homeless on the streets, he too is perplexed.

With regards to “Brother Sharp’s” psychiatric symptoms, doctors say there needs to be further medical observation. After “Brother Sharp”, there have again been people who have discovered “Brother Sprite” etc., while some netizens have called for not using beggars as entertainment.

In the video below, the media believes they have found Brother Sharp’s family. Brother Sharp’s possible mother and younger brother arrive in Ningbo after riding a bus for many hours. In Ningbo, they review some video of Brother Sharp to determine if they are sure it is her son and his older brother. The mother cries, wondering how her son had become this way. The younger brother says he is over 90% sure Brother Sharp is his elder brother, although after so many years, there is of course some change.

The man wearing the hat in much of the video with Brother Sharp is “Lao Can Mao”, the netizen who met Brother Sharp in 2008 and shared how Brother Sharp lives on the internet (see our previous post).

In the next video, the mother and brother go to meet Brother Sharp. A representative says that Brother Sharp’s condition was okay when the hospital admitted him, that they cleaned him up, changed his clothes, and that he was able to write his own name as well as his father’s name. When interviewed by reporters, his younger brother says that he had originally come to Ningbo with people from his hometown, later returned, but then came to Ningbo alone again. A doctor tells the media that Brother Sharp still has some mental problems. Brother Sharp’s younger brother answers more questions from the media, such as whether or not Brother Sharp recognized them, and also some stupid questions like whether his hair was cut and what he looks like now.

The last person in the video being interviewed is “Lao Can Mao” again who says he did not meet Brother Sharp yet, that he only saw him from a distance, that Brother Sharp did not see him, and that he just wanted to see the mother and younger brother. He jokes that Brother Sharp is now much cleaner and trusts that he should now be more handsome than before although he probably is no longer “Brother Sharp” because he no longer has the “sharp/penetrating” eyes or look. Finally, he says that the expenses will probably be paid by a relevant government department.

In this last video, we can see Brother Sharp himself, shaved and cleaned up. The host first shares that most netizens believe Brother Sharp should remain in the hospital for further observation but that the younger brother has told them that they feel staying would not be good for Brother Sharp and have already checked him out of the hospital. Brother Sharp is wearing the Puma hat.

There have been many Photoshops of Brother Sharp during this time. Here is a collection:

Some photographs during Brother Sharp’s reunion with his mother and younger brother in a hotel room:

As you can see, Brother Sharp has not yet completely recovered to normal.

From Sina:

The term “unspoken rules” is a popular phrase in today’s society, and those who suffer the consequences from unspoken rules are often women, especially those “pretty flowers” that are already popular or want to be popular. Due to widespread conversation and concern, this matter has increasingly become one of society’s biggest moral debates. However, everyone seems to have neglected the other gender’s experience with “unspoken rules”. Even though males in society occupy a position of strength, he will inevitably suffer from “unspoken rules” to a certain degree, especially those in the special line of work of being male secretaries.

Due to a strange set of circumstances, I ended up enrolling in the secretary profession at a “not well-known” college after my college entrance exams. On the day that new students report in, I saw my class was “a field of red flowers”, “green leaves” [i.e. men] were indeed very few, and the strange thought that “at last, now is the time that men must endure the role of being red flowers” inexplicably exploded into my mind. The secretarial profession is least-scared of artistic performance, to the point where droves will boldly show up for even one performance, but for sport competitions, we are viewed as “a handicapped group” in need of special care.

In the blink of an eye, I graduated college, and after experiencing a round of bitter defeat, I finally got my wish by finding a job that fit my major with the sole regret being: I would be a “little secretary” [slightly derogatory term] for a middle-aged woman. My job was in a medium-sized trading company which was said to be established by my boss and her husband. Later on, the husband fulfilled the popular saying that “men who get money become bad” by taking his deserved share of the assets before he “dusted off his sleeves and left” [Chinese proverb]. My female boss is forty or so this year, other than “money” and “power”, I do not see any virtue in her, but these two are enough for countless people to grovel beneath her “pomegranate skirt” [sic, i.e. submit to her will]. According to a colleague: the female boss has a depraved lifestyle, and at any point in time she switches between a variety of “little white faces” [white-skinned, cute/effeminate boys]. They even warned me to be careful, don’t become her “little sweetheart”. At the time, I thought to myself that I’m just working here, she won’t try to “lay her hand on me” [i.e. make a move], moreover, my looks are mediocre, average temperament, I reckon she won’t be attracted to me. After working at the company for almost two months, nothing happened, the female boss gave me appropriate tasks and didn’t have any desires for me “in that way”.

One day in July 2009, the female boss wanted me to accompany her to see a client who came from the south, to be a secretary. Accompanying a boss for social gatherings is very normal, so I didn’t think too much about it, and I went with her after work. I rode in the female boss’ Benz with the assumption of going to the “Hong Ning Hotel” which is often used by our company for receiving clients, but the car was headed in the opposite direction. I didn’t think too much of it, maybe we were receiving rather important clients and switched to another hotel? After about half an hour, the female boss’ car reached a neighborhood of villas. I once saw an ad in the newspaper for this neighborhood, the housing price for one square meter is comparable to half of my yearly salary. I wondered why we had to come here? I asked the female boss: Chief Liu, aren’t we going to meet the clients? The female boss said: We’re not going to the hotel today, this client is a friend of mine, so might as well receive him at home. I didn’t say anything but did feel a faint pain of discomfort. The Benz stopped at a villa, the female boss and I got off and went inside.

The instant that the doors of the villa swung open, my eyes were stupefied, it would not be an exaggeration to describe the interior design and furnishings as “splendorous and majestic”. I didn’t even get a chance to examine things closely before the female boss wanted me to sit on the couch. She said to wait a bit since the client hasn’t arrived yet, and she would go upstairs to change into another outfit. I sat on the couch while looking in every direction, and before long, the female boss came down from upstairs, but she wasn’t wearing any clothes, not a single thread of clothing was on her. I really didn’t know what to do, I didn’t know what she was going to do. The female boss casually walked to my side, both her eyes gazed tightly on me and said: Xiao Zhao, am I beautiful? I was scared stupid and stammered: Liu…. Chief Liu….Client….. Where’s the client? The female boss laughed scornfully: There are no clients, we are the only ones in this house. Come, tonight I’m yours. I didn’t know how to respond, only dumbstruck and looking at her stupidly. The female boss saw that I wasn’t responding and continued to say: Xiao Zhao, if you’re with me, the company’s deputy chief position is yours, I will also give you a BMW. For a kid who came from the countryside, it’s hard for me to resist material temptation. Just like that, I submitted to the female boss’ money and power, my first time was given to the “middle-aged but still somewhat attractive” female boss.

The next day, the female boss announced to everyone that I was promoted to deputy chief and was allocated a BMW. I used my one night in exchange for what these other people had no way of getting in their entire lifetime, but am I really happy? I, myself, am very confused, I don’t know how I would face my relatives and friends, I also don’t know if what I did is right or wrong? From this point onward, the female boss would often bring me to different inns, hotels, and the villa to provide her with “pleasure”, I’ve simply become a “machine” to satisfy her lust. I’m truly nauseated to see her disgusting face and body, but the temptation of money makes it impossible for me to stop. I can sense my colleagues’ superficial respect, but behind my back they are all gossiping. What path should I take? I’m really in agony, can everyone please help me out, ok?

Encountering “unspoken rules” does not distinguish between men and women.

麦楽鸭:

Wah…old buddy….Your taste is this strong/heavy~~!

Forget it, just endure it.

Each must do what’s necessary, clear your conscience. If you feel ashamed don’t do such shady things.

From what I see, examples like this are too many, lo.

灰色边缘:

From an outsider’s perspective, this in fact is very simple.
Material temptation and the body, the consensus is it’s hard to resist.
My thinking is if you really have the ability to take such a position, you certainly can escape all this.
If you do not have the ability, and you still want to be treated better, you certainly will be captive to materialism.
Clearly, you are the latter, society’s rules told you that you can be like this.
But I think your life is not very happy.
This is desire’s mistake, if you are a person who can satisfy the necessities of life, you can certainly rely on just one or two thousand and live peacefully: however, you’re not. Be more balanced, and you’ll be better off.
I think your strategy is to wait until you’ve got enough money and then leave, fortunately, you’re not a female secretary.

王俊杰猛:

Got money, what else is there.

秋上:

What’s the way to determine unspoken rules?

I don’t know what unspoken rules really are.
But I’ve always believed that if you protect yourself well, others won’t risk the dangers of breaking the law to engage in unspoken rules with you.
Your definitely gave others the chance and excuse to engage in unspoken rules.

Unspoken rules are actually someone estimating their own worth, comparing it to what one wants and many other things.

Other peoples’ darkness and immorality are their own,
but you’ve encountered unspoken rules, don’t blame it entirely on your environment, because the internal reason determines the external reason, the external reason merely brings about the opposite of the internal reason.

狼嚎:

Your life is so good.

1154783755:

Take the money and leave.

Eating soft food [sic] also takes skill, congratulations.

This is the results after meeting a wealthy woman. Brother, don’t be too virtuous, use this chance to your advantage. Fight to get something useful out of this, and take a leading role in society!

中目:

You win some, you lose some. When you get what you wanted, you can go find what you lost. Not much to it.

熠冰:

This is not unspoken rules, but your own system of values.

lyw3182179:

To be an old woman’s male secretary, if you don’t do it, someone else will.

欲火焚身:

Little buddy, your fate is so good, old chap here has worked away from home for 10 years without bumping into a good occasion such as this. The paths for seeking one’s livelihood are myriad, in today’s society, to have money is to have status! Be a little realistic, build your center around economics.

From Tianya:

Younger brother is getting married, parents want me to provide 200,000 RMB, or they will disown me！

I wanted to post this a few days ago, but I was too busy to do that. I am on a business trip today, having some extra time, so come to write this.

My brother is getting married – found a girlfriend by himself. My parents are very happy, saying that he finally did something a right thing, which is finding such a good girlfriend. So, they really hope him get married ASAP. But my brother is extremely poor, and my parents only have 10,000 RMB, so they expect me to pay for the rest expense. Please note that it is pay for, not to lend.

Expense include:

1. Build a house for my brother in town. The land is readily available – my parents’ old house, located in between the town and rural area, also considered as shop front. They request that there should be three shop front rooms on the first floor, one living room and one bedroom with a bathroom on the second floor, one master bedroom and one bedroom on the third floor, each with a bathroom. In the back of the house, there should be one kitchen and one pigpen. According to the above construction, my parents’ anticipated expense is that 110,000 RMB for construction, 20,000RMB for decoration, totally 130,000RMB. Furniture and home appliances will be brought by the bride as marriage portion.

2. Betrothal gifts: 60,000 RMB.

3. Wedding expense: 20,000 RMB.

Totally 210,000 RMB – 10,000 from my parents, 200,000 from my side.

Building a house and betrothal gifts are the bride family’s requests, which is out of a long time bargaining. If we do not agree with it, the bride’s parents won’t marry off their daughter. Her parents were not very satisfied with my brother, and even rejected him at first. But the girl insisted, so they finally agreed. My parents are very satisfied with this girl, so they have to accept their request.

I did not agree with my parents to pay 200,000 RMB; I promised to spend 50,000RMB. But my husband did not agree that either – he asked me to provide 10,000RMB, and then lend 10,000 to my brother.

When I told my parents this, they got mad at me. My father even suffered from high blood pressure and went to the hospital. Parents told me seriously that if I provide the money, they would cast me off.

Comments from Tianya:

在这看小说:

Your parents asked you to offer 200,000, then they must know you are able to do that. 200,000 means nothing to you.
Parents are not able to help their youngest son; they just hope you can do something as the oldest child. Moreover, this is your brother’s marriage for life. Just treat it as spending 200,000 on honoring your parents, please?

llww1000:

[Responding to above comment by 在这看小说]
Is it fair to the LZ’s husband?
Do not raise a daughter as a money tree.
And disowning?
If they want to disown then disown!
When the parents do not treat their daughter as a daughter, why should the daughter still treat them as parents??
Don’t say that parents are people too, that children should not argue with parents. That kind of bullshit, is just blind loyalty and piety.

泪滴秦筝:

Lou zhu’s parents are so shameless! Even able to make this kind of a request! If he is your son, raise him yourself, and only do what you have money for. On what grounds should you suck the daughter’s blood to feed the son?

stonelike:

You brother is also wrong. Without money, why is he getting married? Your sister-in-law is also inconsiderate. If you have no choice, then just give what you can give. After all, you are family anyway and it isn’t easy [at times].

Heavytail:

I’m guessing that the lou zhu’s herself isn’t able to give the 200,000 according to her income, so this 200,000 probably will probably have to come from the lou zhu’s husband…

琳儿不哭:

You can give an appropriate amount, but 200,000RMB is not appropriate. After all, it’s your brother’s own marriage. If he doesn’t find a way, what right does he have requesting his older sister to assume the burden? I am more in favor of what your husband said, but maybe you can give an additional 10,000, and the rest let him [the brother] figure it out.

东方琉璃:

I am wondering, these “big mouths” [other comments]who immediately open their months to say the older sister should give the money, are they all useless younger brothers of their own families???

[I'm] not saying the elder sister shouldn’t give, [because] as family, you must help when you should…but, having all of it provided by the sister, isn’t this out of line…especially when the brother is lazy and greedy and useless…is she supposed to support him his entire life???

雨木华年:

To tell the truth, lou zhu’s parents are indeed going a bit too far, but seeing what the lou zhu said at the end, [I] feel lou zhu is not that great either. No matter how capable you are, for a rural family to raise a graduate student, they had to pay/give a lot, and that cannot be measured in monetary terms of the time. Of course, I have no opinion of the lou zhu’s husband, as he isn’t [originally/directly] part of your family!

ljz888666555:

Forgive my presumptuousness in making a hypothetical, but if this 200,000 was for example not being given to your brother, but rather given to your parents’ medical care/treatment, would you give it?

不好好吃饭就屠城:

Your parents raised you for 20 years.
Now they need you to give up a year’s worth of income to help them accomplish a once in a life-time wish/dream.
[And] you’re not willing?

loveseat:

Do your parents expect you to support your brother and even his future entire family for the rest of their lives? Directly and clearly refuse. Supporting your parents is a given, but Of course, supporting you should support your parents, but you have no obligation to [financially] support your brother, and you giving 10,000 and lending 10,000 is already pretty good.
Also, seeing your brother like this, your parents will definitely expect you to support them in the future [because the son will not have the ability to].

大气绿洲:

I used to hear how selfless the parents love their children.
After growing up, I find that sometimes it is not like this.

大漠古城:

My situation is almost the same as yours, my situation is almost the same as the lou zhu’s, also have a younger brother, and these past days, my parents insist on my promising to be responsible for my brother’s marriage and house.
Recently has been very vexing.

绿尘:

Just give according to your means should be fine. After all, the principle is for you to not have regrets when you think of this matter in the future. According to you and your husband’s circumstances, your can actually give a bit more. Of course, living in Shanghai is not easy either, so you wanting to first establish your own foundation cannot be blamed.

yiwanshangle:

As a man, I personally think the lou zhu has no obligation to give 200,000. Taking care of one’s parents is expected, but having the daughter pay for the younger brother’s wedding has not justification.
Moreover, isn’t this obviously cheating the son-in-law’s money to give to their own son?
Those people telling the lou zhu to pay the money are like your brother in real life!
I have a female co-worker whose situation is similar to your’s. Just after graduating, the first time she got her paycheck, her bank account card [where her pay is deposited] was taken away by her parents, saying: When you’ve collected the money for your younger brother’s wedding is when it will be returned to you! Later she found a partner [boyfriend, husband], and after her husband knew he said: “Okay, marrying me is okay, but a precondition, aside from holidays you cannot go home, and when you go home you cannot bring them things [gifts]. In the future, supporting/taking care of them in their old age will have nothing to do with our family, because you have already supported them in advance. I cannot have taken care of your brother and then take care of your parents!”
Lou zhu can consult [this example]!

From XinhuaNet:

Recently, the Shenzhou branch of The People’s Insurance Company (Group) of China entrusted a lawyer to petition Hengyang City Immediate People’s Court in Hunan Province, demanding further hearing regarding a mistaken verdict by the aforementioned company in dealing with compensation issues in a traffic accident. As a result, this quiet incident of the “domestic car accident, whether foreigners and countrymen have the same value,” caused waves of heated debates.

Death of Singaporean national in an car accident, the family demand compensation of 4 million yuan.

The morning of March 9th, a Singaporean national named Cheng Rui was riding on a passenger car driven by Zhao Guanzong from Hengdong, Hunan Province, traveling by the way of  the Hunan section on Jingzhu Highway. At the time, there was heavy fog, causing limited visibility. At the same time, at that section of the highway, Zhang Weihua from Shicao Village of Dancheng County in Hunan province was driving a heavy semi-trailer truck. Although facing foggy circumstances, Zhang Weihua did not lower his speed according to regulations. When he realized there was a traffic accident ahead between the passing lane and the normal lane, he was too slow to respond, causing his vehicle to collide with a concrete-mixer truck ahead, at the same time, the concrete-mixer truck collided with the vehicle driven by Zhao Guanzong making an illegal left lane change, pushing Zhao Guanzong’s car to collide with a heavy cargo truck, leading to a tragedy. Cheng Rui in the passenger car died instantly. Riding in the same car, Zeng Hui, Cheng Li, Zhao Yangjie, Zhou Hongming all received different degrees of injuries, among them Zeng Hui received 5th degree injuries, Cheng Li received 10th degree injuries.

In the aforementioned incident, Hunan Province Public Security Bureau, Traffic Police manager Tan Lei confirmed: Zhang Weihua violated “The Road Traffic Safety Law,” “The Road Traffic Safety Regulations”, and related rules, he is the main reason for the cause of the accident, and should take the main responsibility. Since Zhao Guanzong chose to [illegally] pass when facing the parked or slowing car ahead of him, he is the secondary reason for the accident, and must take secondary responsibility toward the incident.

April 15th, 2009, Cheng Rui’s father filed lawsuit at Hengdong County People’s Court, where the accident took place. September 29th, 2009, Hengdong county People’s Court held public hearing regarding this case.

During the trial hearing, Cheng Rui’s father brought up that Cheng Rui was his only son, studied abroad and immigrated to Singapore. The plaintiff’s investment in [his son's] development included labor, material, and wealth [investments]. Cheng Rui’s sudden death, brought them unrecoverable spiritual suffering and huge economic loss. Therefore, the plaintiff demanded from the defendant to compensate various losses totaled at 4 million yuan.

The accused Zhang Huawei’s entrusted representative Liu Xueqin argued, the plaintiff’s compensation request is too high, and would only accept compensation in accordance with the laws and regulations. Another defendant’s [representative] from The People’s Insurance Company (Group) of China Shenzhou branch argued, the plaintiff’s request for compensation of death and spiritual loss is too high, and it does not have legal justifications. Both sides’ opinions differed greatly.

After 1976, foreigners regained their status as masters.

闽南风:

I suddenly feel the Qing Dynasty is not so bad!

yebaiheqi:

It is far more than the different values between our countrymen and foreigners. Just domestically, people in cities and towns have the same lives, but different values, and that is already difficult to accept…

This is the essence of the Reform and Opening Up, moreover [a policy] that didn’t change for 100 years!

In China, it should follow Chinese laws, why scruple with foreigners’ laws, this is not equal!

Chinese history is like this, foreigners worth more than the Chinese, foreign dogs also worth more than Chinese dogs.

Why so many people want to get a green card, this is another good explanation.

In China, it should follow China’s laws. Isn’t everyone equal supposed to be equal in the face of the law?

搜狐手机网友:

If they are from countries below the poverty line, will they receive less compensation?

搜狐河南省网友:

Even if I die I will go to developed nations abroad [to die].

搜狐云南省昆明市网友:

Many views all compare Chinese with foreigners from countries with higher economic capacity than us, if they are foreigners from economic capacities lower than our country (e.g. North Koreans, Laotians) who had accidents here, should [they] receive less compensation compared to [people] domestically? In reality it is not the difference between foreigners and Chinese, but the difference between the rich and the poor. Even domestically, the lives between the rich and the poor have different values, how many more examples do you need?

Where people who are worth more… chinaSMACK personals.

Internet post exposes bureau chief’s “sex diary” documenting his debauchery with many female subordinates

Summary: On February 28, a diary, purported to be that of the head of China Tobacco Corp. in an unnamed city in Guangxi caused a sensation online. The diary records the details of  sexual encounters between the department head and a woman in his department. The post was written by someone calling himself the husband of one of these lovers. On March 1, the leading party group of Guangxi National Tobacco Corps commenced formal investigations into the matter. The person in question has already been suspended from his position as Section Chief in charge of Retail Sales pending investigation.

“This bureau chief is interesting, writing everything in a diary.” Yesterday, a diary believed to be that of a certain Guangxi Tobacco Bureau chief  created a storm on the internet, was quickly reposted on various major forums, with relevant posts on Tianya post having over 200 000 hits [At time of translation, over a million]. Some netizens speculate that the diarist’s main duty in his professional role is drinking, followed by playing with women. At the very least it’s an insight into official life.

A netizen with the name “Han Xianzi” wrote a post on February 27 called “Bureau Chief’s Diary”, with daily entries from September 24 2007 to January 31 2008, and five entries after that. Each entry is around 15 Chinese characters in length. Netizens have called the diary “Written very simply, but very colourfully, with strong imagery, vivid portrayals of people’s inner world, with particularly good detailed descriptions.

Some netizens have expressed doubt over the diary’s veracity, thinking that something so personal wouldn’t likely leave someone’s sight. But there are some netizens who believe that it’s the real thing. Some suspect that the husband of Miss Tan, the Bureau Chief’s lover, (aka “Han Xianzi”) found the diary and in a fit of rage posted it online.

Copies of the diary’s (Chinese) contents are on Tianya and Mop. A full English translation has been provided by EastSouthWestNorth. Here are some sample diary entries:

September 18 Tuesday (21-32 ℃ sunny) Stayed at the dormitory during the morning. Went to Guoda Hotel and got a room in the hotel. Went back to the office. Yong Rixian and others came. They are taking the test to become commissioners tomorrow. Drank a lot of red wind with them that evening. Returned to Guoda Hotel after 11am. Xiao Tan was already there. Her period was here, so she used her mouth on me.

September 19 Wednesday (21-32 ℃ sunny) Stayed at the dormitory during the morning. At noon, Hong He, Anhui, Li Yuefen and others came. Had lunch with them. Drank a lot of liquor. Slept during the afternoon. Went to Guoda Hotel in the evening. Xiao Tan did it with me with her mouth. I ejaculated.

September 26 Wednesday (21-30 ℃ cloudy) In the morning after Ah Wu arrived, went to buy a LG KW820 mobile phone for 3,720 yuan. Went back to Laibin. Went to the office in the afternoon to deal with the paperwork and talk about the sales/marketing. That evening Xiao Tan wanted to do me. She is getting married on the 29th and she still wants to have fun with me. This girl is too wild! Got a room at the Guoda Hotel. She arrived after 10pm. She bathed, jumped into bed, went at it immediately with lots of action. We chatted. We did it again in the middle of the night. She bled again. We slept a bit more. We did it again the morning. This time, there was no bleeding.

October 1 Monday (24-43 ℃ cloudy) Spent all day at home.

October 5 Friday (24-31 ℃ overcast) Spent all day home playing with mobile phone.

Comments from Tianya:

杂谈创始人:

This post must become popular.

Why doesn’t the President have a look? He talks to people online doesn’t he?

hulinpu:

To tell the truth, this Bureau Chief is actually not that bad!

luyislong:

Not bad, so many days and he’s only embezzled fifty thousand.

wszlgege:

His main job is drinking, then sex, playing with his phone, these three are his main work projects…

鹰眼预警机1:

Don’t investigate, and it is all Kong Fan Sen; Investigate, and it is all Wang Bao Sen!
Don’t investigate, and the problem is all the first three rows; Investigate, and the root cause is the stage/speech platform.
Don’t investigate, and everyone looks good; Investigate, and everyone are thieves and whores.
Don’t investigate, and everything came from the heart; Investigate, and apparently everything came from Baidu.
Don’t investigate, and everywhere are fresh flowers; Investigate, and all of it were actually tofu dregs.
Don’t investigate, and they are all working hard to protect the revolution; Investigate, and they had long ago been hiding their green cards.
Don’t investigate, and all of them want to serve the people; Investigate, and all of them serve for renminbi.
Don’t investigate, and it was an act of nature; Investigate, and it was a man-made calamity.
Don’t investigate, and everything is superior; Investigate, and it is sex superiority.
Don’t investigate, and he is a public servant; Investigate, and it turns out he likes women servants even more.

注意该工作了:

Such an accurate record. Everyone, don’t write a diary under any circumstances.

But with so much to do, if you don’t write things down how will you remember stuff?

纽约地委书记:

This public servant is already the most honest and most pure, yet there are still people trying to take him down, what kind of world is this?

Could it be that Miss Tan is better looking than me?

含仙子:

Honey, Bureau Chief Han is calling you to go open a room [with him at a hotel, this phrase is similar to the Jia Junpeng internet meme]!

5I5G:

Seeing this makes me very joyful. This is more fun than fun…. despicable…

添崖马甲:

The year of the tiger’s first news story of officials’ entertainment.

我是小孟婆:

Firstly we have to make it clear that Bureau Chief Han isn’t some kind of monster, he’s having an affair but is at home a lot, he even mentions in his diary that his son is a post-grad student. This shows that he still is a family man; although Bureau Chief Han accepts money the amount definitely isn’t great, it can’t be more than five figures. Look carefully online at stories of official corruption at the cadre level, often they mention piles of money at home as big as mountains, developers are the same, and women, at the very least they have two, and at the most hundreds. So Bureau Chief Han seems quite honest. And we can say that there are many of this kind of leading official, who have expenses reimbursed; eating, drinking, social parties and sex are unavoidable. Of course there are some problems with what he does. I think that these problems aren’t so serious, but we definitely have to point them out sternly, fine him a bit, or make a of note in his Party record. Taking care of things with investigations is the best way.

peterdog2012:

Actually Han Feng is a good comrade: 1) Only has one regular girlfriend; 2) Although he’s having an affair he spends time with his life, he isn’t just cold to her; 3) He occasionally accepts money [illegally] but nothing more than a few tens of thousands, and only gets 200,000 a year which is peanuts; 4) He pays attention to education in theory, and is hardworking and modest; 5) He pays attention to important national affairs, he mentions the heavy snow that the south got, which shows he cares about your average man; 6) He doesn’t like the sleazy life, but enjoys movies and refined activities, which shows he’s well brought up.

我是小孟婆:

After reading every character of the diary, after sighing thousands of times, I have a couple of questions:

1. After Bureau Chief Han’s “Diary-Gate”, what kind of punishment will he receive?

2. What will Bureau Chief Han’s women do now? Will they have to busy themselves fighting, divorcing, moving house, what kind of tragedy awaits them?

3. Bureau Chief Han is a small potato, he’s nothing compared with most officials. We should do away with those that are worse than him, why don’t they ever get into trouble?

Lastly, I’d like to tell all leaders that writing diaries truly is a good habit!

guming999:

Official corruption, infidelity, if this isn’t a grave matter then what is? Corruption is corruption, no matter how you look at it, there’s no such thing as “slight” corruption! We need to throw the book at him!

comeseer:

Looks like we need the vast netizens, need human flesh search, because only the human flesh search is a true tool for supervising [government officials].

For illicit bribes look elsewhere. For everything else try chinaSMACK personals.

Han Han is one of China’s most popular bloggers. As a member of the post-80s generation (Chinese born in the 1980s), he is also famous for being a professional race-car driver and best-selling author.

This video (3:06) is a news story about Chongqing police taking down a man who had kidnapped a local woman and was holding her hostage with a knife.

First, the man demands the police find a reporter and gets very upset, screaming “How much time until he’s here?” Then, he rather suddenly decided he didn’t want a reporter, and instead demanded drinks. The policeman was fairly accommodating, even asking if he should open the drinks for the kidnapper, and a few moments later their opportunity to strike came when the man came to the door to shout, asking for a gun, and many, many police officers jumped on him all at once.

From Han Han’s Blog:

Stepping into the breach as others fall

Today I saw a video of police attacking a criminal. In it there were many interesting points:

1. The criminal and hostage came to the door of the police station to ask for a gun.
2. Soon afterward, he demanded a reporter. Very rarely do kidnappers ask for these two kinds of things [guns, reporters] so we can tell the man must have a story.
3. After the reporter arrived, the criminal said he didn’t need a reporter, this shows he already understood, whatever background story he told would definitely be harmonized, so he faced facts, and asked for…
4. …two bottles of beverages, here he was forced to implement some advertisements. [refers to recent Chinese netizen criticisms of too many product placement in the 2010 CCTV Spring Festival Gala]
5. The criminal first gave the woman [he was holding hostage] a drink, and after this, her eyes were very complicated, perhaps the two of them have a story [together].
6. At the climax, the criminal walked out the door, where police officers were hiding fearlessly. They pounced on him, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight…please let the national statistics department release an estimate of how many men tackled him. This square meter must have had the highest population density in the entire world; all of a sudden the screen was completely full of [policemen's] butts!
7. Another interesting point came through the camera lens at 2:27, the middle aged man with a yellow stripe around his sweater really got quite close amidst the chaos of things. As soon as this mysterious pangolin jumped in, an onlooker became a person at the center of things. He served honorably.
8. Another good point: at 2:32 you can see that in the upper left corner the policeman who rushes in is still holding a cigarette in his mouth. He’s really too relaxed [about it].
9. When they dragged the criminal into the interrogation room, the policemen pulled on his hair, showing their power.

Although the result was gratifying, the process of saving [the woman] is certainly worth discussing. I welcome everyone to keep studying the video.

Later, Han Han added a poll to his post:

You most want to know…

• How many police, in total, tackled the man — 4256 votes, 21%
• Why the man asked for one reporter and one gun — 10962 votes, 53%
• What is the post/position of the guy in the yellow sweater — 3317 votes, 16%
• Who is the guy with the cigarette in his mouth — 2159 votes, 10%

Note: There are now over 47,000 votes since this post was translated.

山东网友爱是永恒:

There are too many scoundrels, if more were killed it would be good, they should have shot him on the spot.

北京网友tony:

I think even if he told his background story they wouldn’t report it, they’d only report the heroism of the police.

北京网友santian:

You often see things like this happening in Chongqing, gangsters from the criminal society, it’s very worrying.

DHX212:

The guy is actually pretty handsome, and the girl could be called pretty too.

Better than kidnapping and being piled on by a lot of police officers. chinaSMACK personals.

Son not willing to believe father’s sudden death, holds and chats with body on the side of the road

Summary: A sixty year old man collapsed in an underground tunnel, and died by the time emergency workers arrived on the scene. His son, upon arriving, refused to believe his father has died, saying, “Dad…” “We spoke on the phone only this morning…”

The son, not willing to believe that his father has died, continues talking with him. Photo: Xu Wen Ge

In an underground tunnel of the Feng Hu local dried food market at Dushu village in Luohu district, a sixty year old man suddenly collapsed and died. Photo: Xu Wen Ge

At 11:30 am yesterday, the old man's son hurried to the scene. "Where's Dad?" He frantically ran into the tunnel while crying, picked up his dead father and ran out of the tunnel again, putting him down adjacent to a basketball court. Photo: Xu Wen Ge

"Dad..." he said to his father, "we spoke on the phone only this morning...". He clutched his father's hand in his, and kept talking to him. Photo: Xu Wen Ge

Son’s love deeply moved passers-by

At 11:30 am yesterday, the old man’s son hurried to the scene. “Where’s Dad?” He frantically ran into the tunnel while crying, picked up his dead father and ran out of the tunnel again, putting him down adjacent to a basketball court. His hands were shaking, friends lit a cigarette for him, and then, after taking a few sharp puffs, propped his father up against the wire netting of the basketball court.

“Dad…” he said to his father, “we spoke on the phone only this morning…”. He clutched his father’s hand in his, and kept talking to him. He didn’t believe his father had passed away, and kept touching his father’s chest. By then he didn’t have any more tears to cry, and could only persist in talking to him, and would even smile every now and then…  But his mother on the other hand could only hold her granddaughter at one side crying.

The son looked to the civil police officer nearby; “What’s wrong with my dad?” he asked. The officer answered quietly, “The forensic investigator says it was a heart attack.” He touched his father’s chest again, and said in a distant voice, “Yes, dad had had something wrong with his heart…”

In the sunshine, he continued chatting with his father, but his father’s head fell to one side. The touching scene caused strangers passing by to wipe the tears from their eyes, with some even saying cautiously, “Is that guy’s father still alive…?”

After preliminary investigation from Luohu police, it was determined that the old man had died suddenly. According to civil police on the scene, a forensic examiner had found that the man had had a history of cardiovascular disease.

Comments from Netease:

Mobile Netease user from Guangdong:

My dad also passed away suddenly from this kind of disease! I cried more than I ever had before!
I hope dad’s doing well up there, I also wish everyone down here health and safety.

Netease user from Bingzhou, Shandong:

Actually, sometimes a quick death can be a blessing~~ a lot better than living in misery!

Mobile Netease user from Nanjing, Jiangsu:

Your father made me cry during the New Year celebrations!

Netease User from Yangpu, Shanghai:

On November 29 2009 my father also, was having breakfast at home when he suddenly slid off his chair. We called 120 but by the time the ambulance arrived he was gone. I wanted to carry him to his bed, but I just couldn’t do it. I can’t write any more my tears are pouring down my face.

Netease User from Mars:

Chinese people, it seems, are still very filial, just sometimes bound by too many restrictions, and thus unable to do their filial duty.

Netease User from Baoan, Shenzhen:

My heart is aching. Old man, your son loves you, rest in peace.

Mobile Netease User from Shanghai:

I get the feeling that family is so important, he should should rest in peace, the young one should be a bit stronger, the road ahead is long… I hope your father has someone to talk to him in heaven.

Netease User in Pudong, Shanghai:

I’ve cried yet again, I’m sad that I don’t have this brave guy to help me be a better child to my parents, but the more I think of my dearly departed father, the more I want to be a good child to my mother!!

Netease User in Beijing:

Respecting one’s parents is traditional in China~ But nowadays in order to allow their parents to live a happy and fulfilling later life, their children rush about making money. But when they’re away from home they can’t look after their parents…Parents want their children to be by their side~ but if they are they can’t make any money… Unless you’re a high-ranking official… How could we fart people ever show our parents the respect they deserve….

I love my mum & dad more than anything… Whenever I go to temple I pray for their health and safety. But to make money I’ve left home, and have no way to stay with them and help them… a real catch 22.
After I read the story, I cried for a long time… so cold and lonely…

Netease User in Hunan:

The only thing you can count on in this world is your family, no one can tolerate us or look after us like our parents. If unfortunate things happen, it hurts a lot.

Netease User from Weihai, Shandong:

There’s nothing more tragic in life than when a parent dies!!! That kind of pain goes straight to your heart, you cry and cry. People whose parents are in good health can’t understand how it feels.

My dad also died suddenly. It took me no less than six years to accept this reality. I used to be afraid of the dark more than anything else, but after my father died I stopped. Sometimes in the middle of the night I sought out dark places to see if my father was there. Once, after work, I saw my father walking in a park not far ahead of me. It looked just like my father, his height, his figure, his weight, the way he’d walk, even his clothes looked like clothes that my father had owned. I rode my bike around to face him, and saw immediately that it wasn’t him. I was so puzzled, how could it be that it wasn’t him? I definitely had seen my father. The old man looked at me too, then walked away. I stood there lost in thought, I couldn’t work out what was going on. But I wasn’t scared at all, sometimes I really want to see him again!!

Note: Please don’t tell me off for this, I’m telling the truth. Reading this story today has made me remember the past. I want to say one last thing: those of you whose parents are still healthy, treasure them, cherish them, treasure them again! No matter how stern they were with you when you were younger, as soon as they are gone all you have left will be regret.
