Front Page of the Day is a daily review of the news on the front page of one Chinese newspaper. Today's page comes from the paper's website.  Today Morning Express September 3, 2007 The lead headline references Franz Kafka's famous novel The Metamorphosis to describe a game that is being played by most of Hangzhou's school teachers, students, and their parents. They role-play as other people and and consider themselves in other people's shoes. "Sometimes when I imagine the other person's point of view, suddenly everything becomes clear," says one game-player quoted in the article. The main front page photo shows a parasailing performance at the opening ceremony of this year's Fuchun River Games. A second photo is of Jiang Wen and illustrates a story about his trip to Venice. His new movie will be showed at 9:30 pm local time, September 3 (3:30 am Beijing time on the 4th). Two other Chinese directors, Cai Mingliang and Jia Zhangke, also went to Venice yesterday. The headline beneath front page photo is about health tips for the coming Autumn. In the article, experts advise readers what to eat and what to wear as the seasons change. |

actually i think the headline references a tv show on Hunan TV which is also called METAMORPHISIS... it also does role-swap, esp. between students with different backgrounds... ^_^
