Show your support for the Party with a flag tattooPosted by Eric Mu, June 16, 2009 1:00 PM
 I ♡ CCP Fuck the world is the title of a Baidu-hosted blog that's being passed around this week. By way of introduction, the blogger paraphrases John F. Kennedy's famous line, "Ask not what the party can do for you - ask what you can do for the party" and continues with the line, "When you are criticizing the Communist party, think about whether you are qualified to do so. Whining only makes your life more miserable." An entry from January is about the blogger's new tattoo of a red flag with hammer and sickle:
Notes ● The caption under the photo in the original post reads "I tattooed this on my leg because I am willing to do anything for the party. Even if it means simply running errands for the party, I will be happy!" ● The Chinese beside the flag tattoo is taken from the Heart Sutra: "Form is emptiness; emptiness is form." |

 Diamond Hill by Feng Chi-shun: Feng's memoir Diamond Hill describes an era of gambling and gangsters, Suzie Wong and squatter villages, fires and food stalls, and the Kowloon Walled City and its white powder. "A time when people were poor, but life was rich," he says. The world that he grew up in no longer exists, but his book - the first ever on the Diamond Hill refugee settlement, in either Chinese or English - offers a candid picture of what life was like for most Hong Kong residents in the 1950s.
William A. Callahan's China: The Pessoptimist Nation: China: The Pessoptimist Nation shows how the heart of Chinese foreign policy is not a security dilemma, but an identity dilemma. Through a careful analysis of how Chinese people understand their new place in the world, the book charts how Chinese identity emerges through the interplay of positive and negative feelings in a dynamic that intertwines China's domestic and international politics.
The WTO ruling: a half victory at best: In August 2009, a World Trade Organization panel ruled against China's system of monopoly control over entertainment products. Was this the victory supporters hailed as the dawn of a new day for American and global entertainment companies in the China market?

Fake communists and 当代凡是派. "The workers have no country."
Either that or biting satire. So hard to tell with the kids these days.
that's a pretty poorly done tattoo.
She said “愿为党生，愿为党死，甘愿为奴”.
If that's not trolling then what could it be? Stirring the shit-pot in the blogsphere is increasingly satisfying, I might one day do that too!
That excerpt right there sounds like something straight out of George Orwells 1984.
Really disturbing! Shows what living in a propaganda state does to common sense.
Hopefully one day the great Chinese people will rise up and live in freedom!
I love party,if at the party there are a lot of pretty girls,hehehe!
I browsed most of the blog, and I'm still not sure if this whole thing is the disconcerting, earnest rant of a brain-washed kid, as some commentators seem to think, or just a satire.
Yes, I saw the filthy insults on Dalai and Sharon Stone and street protesters (against China) in the West, etc, etc. But the insults here are violent and disgusting in a way that is repetitive and doesn't at all add to the usual cyber dregs that you easily get. Chinese kids, especially the kind who would juxtapose a red flag with text from Heart Sutra in the tattoo, would perhaps have been more creative if they really tried to come up with personal insults in a spontaneous and heart-felt way.
The chosen location of the tattoo, on her calf, and the "justification" for it, also seems like a parody to me.
Whatever haters. She's my GF. Eternal servitude to the Lord. WTF is wrong with that? tell me!
so cool
And here I thought that one of the ideas behind the revolution was that the Chinese people should get rid of their "slave mentality"...
This doesn't strike me as satirical at all. The post claiming that all "anti-China" protesters in the west are paid off is a good laugh, but I don't think it's supposed to be.
Sadly, it's either 50 cents vs 0.05 dollar, the mentality is indifferent, bow to the western value or chinese value, you choose.
And no you can't stand neutral, lol.
