Harmonious weirdnessPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn, November 2, 2006 9:51 AM
Despite the Net Nanny's best efforts to ensure a harmonious environment, China's Internet is getting weirder all the time.
The image to the left is from Muzi Mei's 'blog salon' and shows some youngsters being hung up from hooks embedded in their backs. The photo was taken at some kind of performance event at 798, aka Beijing's Dashanzi Art Factory. (Related videos on Danwei: Mu Zimei interview, Dashanzi art festival) Still feeling harmonious? Well, check out these photos of a dead person's head with brains spilling out, or this collection of soft porn. |

Books on China
Tales of Old Hong Kong: The new Tales of Old Hong Kong compiled by Derek Sandhaus is available at Earnshaw Books.
Diamond Hill by Feng Chi-shun: Feng's memoir Diamond Hill describes an era of gambling and gangsters, Suzie Wong and squatter villages, fires and food stalls, and the Kowloon Walled City and its white powder. "A time when people were poor, but life was rich," he says. The world that he grew up in no longer exists, but his book - the first ever on the Diamond Hill refugee settlement, in either Chinese or English - offers a candid picture of what life was like for most Hong Kong residents in the 1950s.
William A. Callahan's China: The Pessoptimist Nation: China: The Pessoptimist Nation shows how the heart of Chinese foreign policy is not a security dilemma, but an identity dilemma. Through a careful analysis of how Chinese people understand their new place in the world, the book charts how Chinese identity emerges through the interplay of positive and negative feelings in a dynamic that intertwines China's domestic and international politics.

+ People: Chen Daming, director (2004.06): Chen's own life story could be rich material for a feature film. After being rusticated from the Henan Opera School, he was forced to move away from Kaifeng to look for work. The Film Academy is the most prestigious film school in China, counting the directors Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige among its alumni, and competition for place to study there is fierce. Chen Daming came to Beijing for an audition, and was accepted after three auditions. + Mo Luo: Turning enemies into people (2009.06): Mo Luo, an essayist and poet, writes about dehumanizing the enemy. + Skirting the law in China's private enterprise reform (2006.05): An essay by Wu Xiaobo (吴晓波), 'Reform Begins with Transgression' (改革从违法开始), about how early Chinese private enterprise dealt with a vague legal framework.

man, qihoo has always been about the softporn. chinaren.com frequently links to them as well.
More and more things are getting distasteful in China, It is because of some people for their "money"'s sake, but no doultly related around the big environment of China.
I was seriously shocked by thoso kids and brains and skulls, seems like the Internet media is taking those pics as a kind of fun, which makes me more upset.
