Ultraman's ideological crusadePosted by Joel Martinsen, November 27, 2008 10:00 PM
Nifty links blogger ProState In Flames posted this scan of what appears to be a student composition (I've managed to trace it back to a blog post on August 31, but that might not be the source, either): ![]()
The red underlines are for the "hotline" and Earth ideology. Whether or not this essay is the real deal, the assignment is no joke. A lesson posted in 2005 to the Beijing Pre-School Education Web presents kids with the question of what Ultraman could do after he finished wiping out all the monsters in the world. And searching on the title (假如我是奥特曼) returns lots of unrelated results that appear to be real, honest composition. Note: 环平研究小奥特 - can someone more familiar with the show clue me in on what this is supposed to mean? Links and Sources

Comments on Ultraman's ideological crusade
Woo, can't believe you translated this. :)
The '环评研究小奥特' was probably just a phrase coined by this talented young writer. It's supposed to mean something that people 从娃娃抓起 and want them to be, like a role model working in some environmental evaluation projects.
It's great sci-fi up until the Mao Zedong sentence... when it becomes utterly compelling sci-fi!
Kind of like a Chinese Ken MacLeod!
Not bad for his/her age. I can only recite Three Hundred Tang Poetry when I was five!
impressive writing...and equally scary.
