Classic Danwei posts
+ Korean history doesn't fly on Chinese TV screens (2007.09): SARFT puts the kibbosh on Korean historical dramas. + Religion and government in an uneasy mix (2008.03): Phoenix Weekly (凤凰周刊) article from October, 2007, on government influence on religious practice in Tibet. + David Moser on Mao impersonators (2004.10): I first became aware of this phenomenon in 1992 when I turned on a Beijing TV variety show and was jolted by the sight of "Mao Zedong" and "Zhou Enlai" playing a game of ping pong. They both gave short, rousing speeches, and then were reverently interviewed by the emcee, who thanked them profusely for taking time off from their governmental duties to appear on the show.

Comments on Red Laowai vs. White-haired Girl
Oh-my-God.
These guys must be on LSD right?
This is what we would call in Dalian (and most of Shandong, I imagine) 彪。
彪彪彪 血彪。。。
I don't get it. Other than the creative way they overlay their images on the backdrop, what is original about this? A spoof is something that engages critical humor...I don't see anything vaguely spoofy about this. Looks like Mr. Laowai needs to get out more.
infamous who?
I'm speechless. 真是哭笑不得。 I wanted to see our Red Laowai friend doing showing off more of his Putonghua. Anyone can dance.
this is one of those rare instances in which the derivative work vastly exceeds the artistic attainments of the original.
loved it... and my staff did too.... hoping to see more of Hong lao wai!!
I refuse to watch any version of Bai Mao Nu that does not focus on Huang Shiren--one of my personal heroes.
Everything I learned about handling the ladies, I learned from him.
