Much ado about nothingPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn on Wednesday, February 25, 2004 at 1:47 PM
The teacher who supposedly posted nude photos of herself to her 'zhu ying qing tong' blog is still in the news, despite the fact that the photos wouldn't shock a Baptist granny.
Here is a China West News report from which the above photo was ripped. More on this piece of media puffery on Brainysmurf, and on Danwei. Thanks again to Shanghai Eye for pointing out this story that just won't die, and for campaigning against the global scourge on humanity known as golf. Also from Shangai Eye, commentary on the amazing fact that Chinese people have sex: "Many westerners, weened on decades of Cold War propaganda, are often surprised to find that people in China actually have sex drives. Novice reporters tend to begin their stints in Shanghai or Beijing hanging around in the dirtier corners of the local entertainment industry, interviewing masseuses and hairdressers and KTV hostesses before telling the world, in breathless tones, that China is the new Babylon." |

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.
