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 MSN Messenger & Toyota Earthquake Donation Campaign
Hi,
I think that's a wonderful idea and did it just after I read about it. Hope it helps the people over there and wish we have something like that for the vicitms in Myanmar (Birma).
you will need to put '(R)' only :)
I read that it's only for MSN users in China. I'm in Singapore though. Does that mean that if I put the rainbow there it will not be counted and no donation will be made to the victims?
Will this work for non-MSN China users?
I'm changing my msn name to "(R) 彩虹连心 支援灾区" now! Ya,it is a good idea. I hope more and more people will join this campaign to help the victims.
does it work for msn users that are not in China?
'(R)'
(R) 彩虹连心 支援灾区. It's a great idea, just that I'm unable to copy and paste to my msn nick. I've no idea why.
That will make those Olympic red guards to forfeit their annoying "[heart] china" on their MSN name. Good move, Microsoft.
I'm Changing the Name no Matter wat,
As least More people Can SEE and when more people see it, MAYBE it will help~
How long is this event going to last? I wonder if I am too late to put a (R) now.
Has any1 thought about how Toyota is supposed to know if we got a Rainbow on our MSN ID or not? And how long we keep it there for?
