Tourists in Sanya Take Photos with Stranded Dolphin

On the afternoon of June 16, at about 6pm, some city residents discovered a stranded dolphin in the waters of Hainan Province Sanya City Dadong Sea. While waiting for the rescue team to arrive, some tourists and city residents who were swimming at the sea rushed over to take photo of the dolphin upon hearing the news. Quite a few tourists kept asking the lifeguards to lift the dying dolphin out of the water so that they could take pictures with it. To this, an old fisherman passing by said that what they were doing was very inappropriate, and that it could easily cause the dolphin to choke on the water and die.

On the evening of June 16, in Hainan Province Sanyan City, on the surface of the Big East China Sea, people lifting the dying dolphin out of the water to take pictures with it.

Just couldn’t spare the dolphin, could you guys?

This is Chinese people, normal. As for the future of this nation? He he…

梦里甘苦皆都空 [网易江苏省苏州市网友]: (responding to above)

By the time they’re done taking pictures, the dolphin will pretty much be dead.

A nation without the most basic common sense at all!

一一滴粑粑 [上海]:

Seeing how the comments are almost completely one-sided in criticism/condemnation, I think our nation still has hope!

yzlibin520 [湖南永州]:

With characters like these, no matter how powerful your economy gets, your nation will still be looked down upon by others. The Ugly Chinese, what will the future of our nation be? So worried.

黄德喜 [广东广州]:

How can they do this?! So inhumane. Dolphins are human’s best friends, they’d even protect us when we are under attack by sharks. Is this how we repay them?!! Strongly condemn this kind of inhumane behavior.

放弃所有2010 [江苏淮安]:

Rather than immediately thinking of saving a life, they selfishly took photos. I feel ashamed for the characters of my compatriots.

腾讯网友 О〇兜兜裤O:

When they’re about to die, I hope a dolphin comes and drowns them in the water.

腾讯龙岩市网友 -:

I suggest using a rope to hoist these people taking group photos [with the dolphin] for us to take pictures with them.

腾讯网友 不羁的念想、:

I suggest a human flesh search, they are all beasts. String them up and death by a thousand cuts.

腾讯网友 今生有缘:

Since they are so into taking pictures of themselves, so narcissistic, might as well just show them on Xinwen Liaobo. Such disgusting men.

An update from Sina Weibo:

@新浪视频: Stranded Dolphin in Sanya Died from Inhaling Water: On the 16th, some city residents discovered a stranded dolphin, and some tourists lifted it up [out of the water] to take pictures with it. According to a report on the 17th by Dragon TV: The divers were trying to help the dolphin by lifting it up, because dolphins breathe with their backs, and leaving it in the seawater would be dangerous, so they lifted it up, and only during the time that some tourists were taking pictures. After the dolphin was taken to the hospital, it died last night [June 16] at 12 midnight due to having inhaled too much water.

According to another report, the dolphin died from loss of blood.

French Media Claims One of the Chinese Overseas Students That Were Attacked in France is a Former [Chinese] Mayor’s Daughter

Global Times Comprehensive Report – Six Chinese overseas students currently studying in the western France region of Bordeaux were attacked by three thugs, with one of the girls suffering serious head injuries. Multiple eyewitnesses claim the drunk criminal suspects made racist remarks during the attack. After the incident, French Interior Minister Manuel Valls issued a statement condemning the violence: “This incident is a serious xenophobic act, and the culprits must be investigated by the law.” France’s Le Nouvel Observateur commented saying that Chinese tourists often suffering robbery and incidents of violence in Paris has already resulted in criticisms of France’s tourist safety problems, while China is currently the third largest consumer nation of France’s grape wines, possibly becoming the second largest market in 2016. That this anti-foreigner attack coincidentally happened on the day before the inauguration of the Bordeaux Vinexpo [world's main wine expo] was regrettable. Agence France Presse claimed during a background analysis of the incident that Chinese investors wantonly purchasing Bordeaux vinyards “doesn’t always make the locals happy”, while French winemakers are also unhappy with China’s recent anti-dumping investigations of French wine.

According to France’s Le Nouvel Observateur‘s report on the 15th, the six Chinese study abroad students have been studying at a winery school located in the Gironde province, and they live in the small town of Hostens just 50 kilometers away from Bordeaux with only a population of 1300. On the night of the 14th, when police visited the three drunk local men due to “late night noise”, the three men believed it was their Chinese neighbors who had reported them. After the police left, at least two of the three went to knock on the door of the Chinese overseas students’ residence. The moment a Chinese overseas student opened the door, the two violently attacked. In the struggle as the overseas students tried to push them out the door, a 24-year-old girl’s head was hit by a thrown glass bottle, seriously injuring her. She has already been sent to Bordeaux for medical treatment.

France’s Sud Ouest quoted local residents that the three suspects had been drinking late into the night outdoors on a bench. Local residents claim, “They were probably looking to cause trouble with anyone”. At present, the two main suspects have already been detained by police, while the third suspect is about to be summoned. Police have a file on the three. Police investigations show that the two attackers were extremely violent during the incident. Although they were intoxicated, they were clearly aware of the identities of the Chinese study abroad students, using racist insults during the attack. Hostens town mayor Michel Viallesoubranne expressed shock, saying: “The Chinese overseas students living in the town are 3 boys and 8 girls, a total of 11 people, who are all very well-behaved. They’ve already well integrated into life in the small town!” French Interior Minister Valls expressed on the 15th that he shares the sorrow of the overseas Chinese students’ family as well as gives them his complete support. The Education Minister Counselor of the Chinese Embassy in France told this Global Times reporter that the Chinese Embassy in France strongly condemns this violent attack on Chinese overseas students, has already requested the relevant French departments to investigate the matter as soon as possible, punish the perpetrators in accordance with the law, and adopt appropriate measures to ensure the safety of Chinese overseas students.

A commentary on France’s Le Nouvel Observateur says Chinese tourists in Paris often suffering robbery and incidents of violence has already resulted in criticism of the safety problem for tourists in France. This Global Times journalist saw that most French netizens believe such xenophobic behavior should be severely denounced, calling for the punishment of the violent offenders. “Too frightening, the power of France’s extreme-right!” exclaimed one netizen. Another netizens said alcohol and xenophobia are France’s two major scourges. A comment read: “Now 1.3 billion Chinese all know about Hostens, this truly is a disgrace! Some French people are bringing shame upon France.” However, there are also people who believe this incident is just an ordinary drunk “neighbors dispute” that doesn’t need to be elevated to “xenophobic violence” and hopes this incident won’t harm France’s traditional image of hospitality.

However, some French media’s reporting of this incident has made people angry. A report by France’s Le Monde on the 15th with the headline “Chinese Apathetic Towards Attack on Overseas Students” claimed that one of the overseas students that was attacked is the daughter of a former city mayor, and thus an “official second-generation” [child of a government official]. The report used half of its space analyzing China’s “corruption” problem, claiming that Chinese netizens are filled with hate and resentment against the sons and daughters of high officials who go abroad to study. The article claims “in China, the children of the elite and government officials usually spend large amounts of money to study abroad, and Chinese netizens are mostly critical of this kind of phenomenon. Some people have even commented ‘they do not deserve sympathy, foreigners severely punish corruption, so them suffering attacks in France was deserved’.” A report by the UK’s BBC on the 16th with the headline “Outrage after assault on Chinese students in France” claims that on China’s widely popular Sina Weibo microblogging service, the majority of netizens criticized and expressed outrage. However, the article also says that some residents in the Bordeaux wine-producing region “resent” buyers from China [of local vineyards].

Over the past few years, with economic and social problems in France intensifying, the extreme-right has rearing its head and expanding its influence, and spillover effects from the socio-economic problems of certain central and eastern European countries, the state of public safety has continuously worsened for “Old Europe” France. Radio France on the 15th claimed that in the past few months, multiple robberies and attacks targeting Chinese citizens have occurred, arousing discussion amongst Chinese nationals. In March, a 23-person tour group from China were robbed and attacked right after arriving in Paris and exiting the airport. To solve the public security problem, French officials have recently announced that cracking down on robbery and violent attacks targeting Asian tourists is the current number one priority. The Le Monde article says that after the attack on the overseas students, many Chinese believe France is currently becoming “a dangerous country”, with some saying “if you want to go abroad, you should do your best to avoid France, and choose those better countries.”

Only children of government officials… have the opportunity to go abroad to study… Tonight, I’m going out to dinner [to celebrate with others]…

日本一夜九家族第二个儿子 [网易广东省肇庆市网友]：

As expected, the leaders have all sent their sons and daughters abroad.

网易四川省凉山州网友：

I originally wanted to support this [condemn the attack]… ugh, going to add more dishes tonight [for the celebratory feast].

网易北京市网友：

If they really are corrupt officials’ children, then it only goes to show that karma/retribution truly is swift!

跟贴局资深临时工 [网易山东省日照市网友]：

Seeing that a former city mayor has sent his own daughter out to save the people living in the abyss of suffering that is capitalist countries…
tears cover my face. But for the truth of the cosmos, this bit of sacrifice doesn’t mean much.

网易北京市网友 [乌有之乡范景刚]：

So the children of government officials have original sin the moment they are born [to be blamed for the actions of their parents]? So the children of government officials aren’t lives/people? Where have all the universal values that you have learned gone? Those constantly calling for universal values, and those now celebrating, you are not activists, you’re just the Red Guards during the Cultural Revolution period, the poor peasants during the time of struggling against landowners, the Boxers of the late-Qing Dynasty. Such barbaric primitive thinking.

网易湖南省湘潭市网友 [静看世间浮躁]： (responding to above)

NetEase has too many American running dogs, always just mindlessly spouting shit.

网易广西防城港市网友 [令狐臭]： (responding to above)

Not even fit to be American running dogs, just stray wild dogs that no one is willing to adopt. Quite simply, they’re just the new peasants.

网易湖南省湘潭市网友 [静看世间浮躁]： (responding to above)

A little girl, what bad things could your compatriot [she] have done? That an American running dog is still this cold, is this the cannibalistic society Lu Xun wrote of?

网易广东省深圳市网友： (responding to above)

When have the children of government officials treated the ordinary people as their compatriots? First [commenter above] do you know what universal values are? Freedom, democracy, equality, justice, etc. These should be amongst universal values. But think, have their government official fathers and mothers allowed the ordinary people to enjoy these? And just how many of today’s children of government officials have this kind of thinking? Man at birth is fundamentally good in nature. No one is born with original sin. Universal values is not universal values that flood everything and have no bottom limit. Today demands more dishes [celebration]! So that everyone our society can enjoy universal values, we must add dishes [celebrate]!

网易湖北省武汉市手机网友： (responding to above)

Hehe, so you add dishes and you think the children of government officials will treat you as their compatriots? You add dishes, and that means you’re spreading universal values? Ignorance. If you were of the ruling class, would you share your benefits with other people? You’re only complaining all day simply because you can’t get what others have, don’t make yourself out to be like some world savior. Ridiculousness.

网易山东省泰安市网友 [到底谁是SB]： (responding to above)

The mao mao Sixth [commenter 网易湖北省武汉市手机网友] has revealed his true thoughts, and what he’s saying is: The ruling class won’t share their benefits with others.

网易湖北省武汉市手机网友： (responding to above)

First, mao your mother’s cunt, you think everyone is as cheap as your labor? Don’t put your own standards on other people. Second, that remark of mine is the truth. If you were a ruler, would you be willing to share your benefits with others?

网易山东省泰安市网友 [到底谁是SB]： (responding to above)

No matter how you explain it won’t cover up your fucking dirty past, having nothing better to do than be a dog. If you not fucking looking for trouble then what are you doing! By the way, send your sister my regards!

网易湖北省武汉市手机网友： (responding to above)

Losers like you who are stepped on by tens of thousands of people, who don’t know to struggle for a better life, who only know how to complain, deserve a life of being ordered around by others, a life of being a dog!

网易山东省泰安市网友 [到底谁是SB]： (responding to above)

How the fuck do you know diao si don’t work hard? Look at the diaosi beside you not working hard?! Are you completely blind to the truth that the channels for advancement have all been blocked by your country bunmpkin father and country bumpkin children?!!!

网易湖北省武汉市手机网友： (responding to above)

Hehe, you SB diao si, even working hard you’re still useless, forever to be a dog.

网易广西防城港市网友 [令狐臭]： (responding to above)

The new peasantry that is both lazy and poor would love nothing better than to see the people who have lives better than theirs all die, their thousands of years of bad habits continuing to this day. Stop thinking about struggling against local tyrants, reaping without sowing, dividing up other people’s property.
Those who are government officials used to be peasants too. Many peasants through their own hard work became officials, businessmen, celebrities… while the families of the new peasantry forever orbit around peasantry—peasantry—peasantry… It’s been ages and still they haven’t changed. The old ones in their villages cursing, while the young ones spitting online. This is the so-called reincarnation of the new rural loser.

内阁总理大臣李鸿章 [网易山东省济南市网友]： (responding to above)

Looks like China won’t be able to escape the cycle of history.
When the arrogance, overbearing, and greed reach deadly levels of stupidity, the near future will bring bring their families great disaster.

123yuyaochen [网易山东省青岛市网友]： (responding to 乌有之乡范景刚)

The children of government officials are indeed without original sin when they are born. Everyone is born equal, this is universal values, first [commenter 乌有之乡范景刚] is totally correct!!!
But first [commenter], if your old man is a thief, and you clearly know that what he has brought home was stolen but you still happily enjoy it, as well as cockily parade about, may I ask if you are without guilt?
Therefore, first [commenter], either you’re a child of a government official, or you’re a stupid cunt!!!

Text: 亲爱的，我已经大火车站了。。。
Text: Dear, I’ve already arrived at the train station…
最初以为只是路人，没想到变成亲爱的；
At first I thought he was just a passerby, never imagining that he would become my love;

曾经以为最亲爱的，最后原来也只是路人。
Who I once thought was my greatest love, ultimately turned out to be just a passerby.
一个一个笑窝 一段一段泪光
yí gè yí gè xiào wō yí duàn yí duàn lèi guāng
One dimple after another, glistening teardrops again and again,

每一次都以为 是永远的寄托
měi yí cì dōu yǐ wéi shì yǒng yuǎn de jì tuō
every time I thought, you would be the person I could count on forever.

承受不起的伤 来不及痊愈就解脱
chéng shòu bù qǐ de shāng lái bù jí quán yù jiù jiě tuō
Unbearable wounds, we broke up before they even had a chance to heal

我们 已经各得其所
wǒ men yǐ jīng gè dé qí suǒ
We, are now where we should be.

CHORUS #1:
所谓承诺 都要分了手才承认是枷锁
suǒ wèi chéng nuò dōu yào fēn le shǒu cái chéng rèn shì jiā suǒ
The so-called promises, only when we broke up did we admit they were shackles

都是浪漫地蹉跎
suǒ wèi gū fù dōu shì làng màn de cuō tuó
The so-called disappointments, were all romantic wastes of time

所以别问 还差什么 我们没结果
suǒ yǐ bié wèn hái chà shén me wǒ men méi jié guǒ
So don’t ask, what are we lacking, there is nothing [no fruit borne] for us

都结了果 却由他来收获
dōu jié le guǒ quē yóu tā lái shōu huò
The fruit has been borne, but it was he who reaped them.

CHORUS #2:
那时候 年轻得不甘寂寞

Back then, [we were] so young that we were unwilling to be lonely

错把磨练当成折磨
cuò bǎ mó liàn dāng chéng zhé mó
mistook tempering oneself for torture.

对的人终于会来到
duì de rén zhōng yú huì lái dào
The right person will eventually come along

因为 犯的错够多
yīn wèi fān de cuò gòu duō
because we’ve made enough mistakes

总要为 想爱的人不想活
zǒng yào wèi xiǎng ǎi de rén bú xiǎng huó
One must first want to die for the person we want to love

才跟该爱的人生活
cài gēn gāi ài de rén shēng huó
before we can live with the person we should love

来过 走过 是亲爱的路人 成全我
lái guò zǒu guò shì qīn ài de lù rén chéng quán wǒ
Having come, having left, it’s the dear passersby who completed me.

尘埃落定之后　回忆别来挑拨

时间改变你我 来不及回看就看破
shí jiān gǎi biàn nǐ wǒ lái bù jí huí kàn jiù kàn pò
Time changed you and me, and we saw through each other before having a chance to look back

洒脱 是必要的执着
sǎ tuō shì bì yào de zhí zhuó
Letting go, is being persistent as needed.

News of Rupert Murdoch and Chinese wife Wendi Deng divorcing is currently at time of translation the second highest trending hashtag on China’s leading microblogging service Sina Weibo . Wendi Deng is well-known to Chinese netizens, for her ambitious life history as well as when she hit a man who had attacked her husband during a hearing in the UK two years ago.

From Sina Weibo:

#Rupert Murdoch and Wendi Deng Divorce#

Rupert Murdoch and Wendi Deng to divorce, do you still believe in love?

Reuters reports that News Corporation Chairman Rupert Murdoch’s spokesman said on the 13th that Murdoch and wife Wendi Deng’s marriage had “broken down irretrievably” six months earlier, and Murdoch has already filed for divorce in New York. Murdoch and Wendi Deng were married in 1999.

From Sina Weibo:

胡子微评: In 1985, she gained admission to Guangzhou Medical School. In 1988, she emigrated abroad with the help of an American couple, two years later causing the American couple to divorce and marrying the man 31 years her senior, divorcing 7 months after obtaining a green card. In 1996 while on a flight, she met a company’s board member and became an intern; In 1998, she became Murdoch’s translator, months later having him abandon his wife of 31 years and marry her; In 2013 June 13, Murdoch files for divorce from her; She is Wendi Deng, just who will be her next target?

Comments from Sina Weibo:

三份浓缩拿铁：

Putin?

郑州银峰装饰：

Probably not me.

打劫m色：

She’ll be rich after the divorce, but she won’t have her youth anymore, so it’s more like her only possibly becoming the target of some man who lives off women.

佳优子王新民：

As long as they can let go [of their inhibitions], women can do anything.

太极魏晓军：

Will it be Obama?

常识中转站：

Super xiao san?

高会民：

Well it won’t be you.

星星–star-：

Men rely on conquering the world to conquer women, whereas women rely on conquering men to conquer the world.

草包雷草包：

A couple helped her emigrate abroad and she causes their divorce, seducing someone else’s husband just for a green card… this kind of woman is supposed to be our role model? Then she goes and wrecks another family~~~ I really don’t understand what the men were thinking~ Or could it just be that she is good in bed? ~

annabelle在追梦：

Everyone has their own perspective, but I like her willingness to do, to be, and to assume.

吉集飞：

So only by becoming bad can women become rich?

ZJ华府：

An extremely scheming woman!

henryhunter：

Yeah, the next target is probably Obama. The reason is because Putin has already divorced, so going after him wouldn’t allow her to show her level [abilities]. She’ll probably wreck the American First Lady’s family first, then marry Obama.

双人鱼lady：

It must be acknowledged, she’s quite niu bi.

曲大妞儿：

Xiao san are doomed to have bad fates… If he’s willing to abandon his ex-wife for you, he’ll be willing to abandon you for someone else.

From Sina Weibo:

刘胜军改革: One Woman – In 1987, Wendi Deng met the couple Jake [and Joyce Cherry] and in 1988, the latter helped her obtain a US visa. In 1990, 53-year-old Jake and 22-year-old Wendi Deng married, divorcing in 1992, just 7 months more than the time required for a green card. In 1996, Wendi Deng sat next to a News Corporation board member on a plane to Hong Kong, and easily got an internship at the company’s headquarters. In 1997, Deng threw red wine on Murdoch. In 1998 became Murdoch’s Beijing interpreter, and in 1998, Murdoch and Deng married, divorcing in 2013.

Comments from Sina Weibo:

包包大人–F：

Wendi Deng, such a skilled woman! Accomplished getting that old man to bring up divorce, so she can sit there and receive 1 billion USD and recover her long-awaited freedom.

得曦妙然：

Compared to this, television dramas and whatever are nothing…

刘胜军改革：

Murdoch is worth 11 billion USD. Deng could get 1 billion USD and up from the divorce. This case should be a required lesson for all business school MBAs. You have to hand it [to her].

澹泊敬诚2012：

I wonder what else she’d be capable of in order to achieve her goals…

朱珂222Q：

Deng was dumped by Murdoch, she’d rather wait until Murdoch dies. Murdoch isn’t stupid.

戴欣paul：

The woman’s road to riches!

coco麦兜：

Putin divorced, Murdoch is also divorced, could it be that Putin and Wendi Deng are an item???

无米有酒：

Typical Chinese wisdom/intelligence! So far a Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, or Steve Jobs hasn’t been found in China, but there are plenty of Chinese people who are like Wendi Deng (not just women)…

Rrsang：

@罗玉凤 [Sister Feng] Goddess, your role model is this. Appearances aren’t important, the most important thing for women is still your emotional quotient. What more, I think Old Murdoch doing this was for her good. With inheritance/estate taxes in the United States so high, first getting divorced will allow her to get a lot more, with the remaining to be distributed to the children. This move was too damn smart.

老马家小娜：

Opportunities must be created, women.

拂水飘绵：

Don’t understand why so many people are talking about how they can’t believe in love anymore… This is nothing but a high-end upper-class version of a sugar daddy!

東方九日談：

Two Chinese girls: Wendi Deng realized the American Dream, while Guo Meimei realized the Chinese Dream.

须由弥逐星者：

This could also be considered ability, there’s no need to be so bitter.

乡村爱国style：

Next time it’ll be throwing Erguotou on Putin.

光头00608：

This kind of woman is too frightening.

From Sina Weibo:

丁来峰: In 1988, she emigrated abroad with the help of an American couple, two years later causing the American couple to divorce and marrying the man 31 years her senior, divorcing 7 months after obtaining a green card. In 1998, she became Murdoch’s interpreter, months later having him abandon his wife of 31 years and marry her. Today, Murdoch has file for divorce from her, inevitably at great cost. She is Wendi Deng, her every step of success built on the foundation of breaking up other people’s families. She is the encouraging legend in the history of xiao san struggles.

Comments from Sina Weibo:

墙对面的蛋：

From inside to outside, one word: Ugly.

幸福2013开心：

Don’t know if I should envy or spurn!

艾瑞深户：

This is no ordinary xiao san…

wwsp_120319：

Our teacher says we can learn from her, but doesn’t recommend imitating.

双鱼妹纸倔强到底：

As everyone knows, so what? Is there anyone going to punish her? Anyone going to boycott her?

顾猷：

Who will be her next prey? Is the First Lady nervous?

疯疯癫癫的Kimi：

China’s contribution to the world.

雪山樱子：

The bellwether [leader] of Mainland China’s xiao san, and proud of it. What can we say about the looks of this woman? “Wretched”?

狮子座辉子：

This kind of a woman cannot be understood from a normal person’s perspective, but her ability and methods are such that everyone must admire.

悠悠然的悠然：

I really want to know just what methods she used to get these successful men to abandon their wives to marry her. By her looks, she really can’t be considered a beauty.

YUYU的妈咪：

So people only enthusiastically discuss her legendary xiao san path, and no one pays attention to her business achievements/contributions. There is no lack of female entrepreneurs nor are there a lack of successful females who have relied on men to get on top. But someone as stupid as me, using a man is using a man, there’s no reason to wreck their family to get on top. Breaking up families one after another, this woman is smart indeed, but her character is low. Don’t say she’s Chinese, such an embarrassment.

张景新01：

Lao wai‘s aesthetic tastes sure are different from our fellow countrymen!

飘逸控：

Murdoch has after so many years finally woken up. Old Murdoch, with you this old now, don’t look to marry again.

马先生Jay：

How’s Obama and his wife’s relationship right now?

卡槑尖斌：

A model for realizing one’s self-worth/potential, an example of disregarding moral behavior.

If you are curious, the #1 trending hashtag is about about the College English Test (CET-4 & CET-6) examinations that will be held tomorrow across China. The hashtag is “#Band 4-6, Must Pass#“. It has 4x as many mentions on the microblogging service, but no one particularly popular post.
