An especially unfriendly noticePosted by Joel Martinsen, November 17, 2008 2:39 PM
Two hundred residents of the Xinxin Garden community in Urumqi, Xinjiang, found this noticed taped to their doors ten days ago:
The inhabitants of the neighborhood are understandably upset by this development, according to an iYaxin report that quotes someone from building management: "The entire community is apprehensive, especially the more than 200 households in buildings 3 and 4. They're staying at home night and day because they're afraid that someone take their apartment by force when they're not at home." A developer dispute apparently lies behind the threat. Xinxin Garden was built in 2001 by two property developers who later had a falling out. Links and Sources

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.

Are you sure this photo is authentic? There is clear pixelation around the characters, and it looks to be photoshoped. Perhaps the real story here is why this online media outlet would post this story without more closely vetting its sources.
source is everywhere, just google “否则杀你全家”,there are more photos, for example: link
