A monument to President HuPosted by Eric Mu, July 22, 2009 5:51 PM
 Long live President Hu! This undated photo now circulating online shows a stone monument with an eye-catching inscription reading "Long live President Hu Jintao!" Inscribed around it in smaller characters (and continuing onto the back side) is a tribute that begins, "We farmers no longer need to pay land taxes. Instead, we receive subsidies every year. Our leader is unparalleled in history..." Links and Sources

+ The top Chinese books in 2007 (2008.02): China Reading Journal (中华读书报), Yazhou Zhoukan (亚洲周刊), and City Pictorial (城市画报) choose mainland China's top books for 2007. + Men behind the Nanny (2005.04): The Publicity Department (formerly known as the Propaganda Department) has held a "forum" in Beijing to promote what it calls "news editorial staff management regulations (in testing phase)". These regulations appear to be same the set of rules earlier reported on Danwei of which the stated intent is to clear up corrupt journalistic practices. + Asimov Published, Interviewed in Beijing (2005.03): Cover story from this week's Book Review section of The Beijing News announces the publication of a Chinese translation of Isaac Asimov's complete Foundation series. Yup, the Beijing News has scored a fictional interview with "I, Asimov". They've been taking similar liberties recently in their entertainment sections, captioning photographs of celebrities with made-up quotes.

Comments on A monument to President Hu
alright calligraphy
“涛主席” look a bit disproportioned
definitely not written by a pro
wait, a pro for doing this?
"We farmers no longer need to pay land taxes. Instead, we receive subsidies every year. Our leader is unparalleled in history..."
Well, at least they gave a valid reason!
I wonder if plans are underway for the erection of a similar monument in Namibia...
Meanwhile Wall Street Journal's China blog reports Danwei was shut down earlier this week because of the current Hu Haifeng Namibia scandal:
Also on Tuesday, a couple more Web sites were blocked or suspended service, Chinese Web users reported, including Danwei.org, a Beijing-based English-language Web site specializing in China’s media affairs, and Mini blogs Digu and Zuosa.
