 Chutian Metropolis Daily November 9, 2007 The top headline of today's Chutian Metropolis Daily is a quote from State Councilor Chen Zhili. During her inspection tour of Hubei province, Chen said "tuition and fees for urban compulsory education will be waived by the government starting next year." The front page picture shows the Hubei Daily Newspaper Group's new 25-floor office, the Chutian Media Plaza, which celebrated its completion with a big ceremony on Journalists' Day, November 8. Other headlines: • "Returning to mother's home," a paper-cut by President Hu Jintao, was shown at a handicraft exhibition in Wuhan. The piece attracted roughly 8,000 citizens. "What meticulous work by General Secretary Hu!" said one visitor. If you haven't seen it yet, witness the magnificence; • Today is the first day to apply online for the civil service exam. The online sign-ups will continue through November 16; • "What do you want the government to do next year?" In cooperation with the Wuhan city government, Chutian Metropolis Daily will begin gathering citizens' opinions through a telephone hotline, email, and the post. |

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 What meticulous work!
I was expecting more from Hu's papercut. A nine headed bird would make a nice topic. Might do one myself.
It's interesting to see this new in a English website cause I'm a Wuhanese(武汉人).
But Banyue may had forgotten another news:
Hubei provincial museum has opened for free in future,
what's more, the queue of visitors,wow!
你呵我!Unbelievable!
