Celebrities on Sina write fake fan commentsPosted by Eric Mu, July 4, 2008 11:53 AM
 Ji Sha's blog: "I love you, my whole class loves you" China's biggest blog host Sina has recently upgraded its blogging system. A bug in the new system has caused some revealing and laughable accidents: The real identities of some of the fans who post sugary comments anonymously on some entertainment celebrities' blogs were revealed, and turned out to be the celebrities themselves. Self-promotion and egos aside, it seems curious that these celebrities would waste their precious time engaging in this kind of childish behavior.
The image above is a screen grab of Jin's own 'fan' comments:

 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.
The WTO ruling: a half victory at best: In August 2009, a World Trade Organization panel ruled against China's system of monopoly control over entertainment products. Was this the victory supporters hailed as the dawn of a new day for American and global entertainment companies in the China market?

Comments on Celebrities on Sina write fake fan comments
oops....
ahahahaha....
i think that was only accidental things right..?
they have been popular already, no need to make a fake comment on their blog.
This blog reminds me of the days when you were starring in Huanzhu Princess [from 1998].
there's so much pathos in this self-comment that life seems almost unbearable to me now that i've read it.
Chinese pop stars are so incredibly and refreshingly lame. That's why I love them. Wan sui to all of them.
To Jun: Hahahaha.
Anyway, this is definitely one embarrassing glitch. Maybe they should just consider opening another blog account before putting their own comments. :P
I think that would work~~ :P
It's nice to hear these types of news though. Just proves that celebrities really make efforts to have a good name--one way or another. :P (Though this is really not one of the ways to do it.)
lol, wansui, Sillybrities, they did a good job!!!
Celebrities posting on their own blogs... what's next? Regular people posing as celebrities to leave comments that bear little or no relation to the actual article at hand?
Were someone to ever do that using my name I'd be enraged, so much so that I might well be inclined to eat the poster's liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.
On an unrelated note: I though that "Sir Anthony Hopkins" fellow did a fine acting job in the film "Bad Company" - They should make a sequel to that one, don't you think? Perhaps a remake of "Titus" would be in order as well...
by the way, can I just say that the danwei contributor 'mike' is really cool and always has interesting things to say...
mike reminds me my friend mike :)
