The man whose name is Zhang Xiao was trying to pick up his son's toy panda which had fallen inside the panda pen.

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.

Was he from Henan like the last guy? At least he didn't bite the panda back like my drunken coprovincial did.
This one is an Anhui ren.
should've tried some kungfu like the street kid hopped up on glue or whatnot did last time around
