The cult of a Super GirlPosted by Joel Martinsen, May 31, 2009 4:53 PM
 I believe in Brother Chun Super Girl Li Yuchun is at the center of a peculiar online meme perpetuated by a vocal group of fans. The singer, whose androgynous style was the focus of countless mainstream media features on the behavior and attitudes of today's youth, has long been the butt of jokes that say she's really a man or that she's had a sex change (and other, cruder remarks that seem less lighthearted mockery of a public figure than undisguised misogyny). The cross-dressing idea has been captured in a catchphrase, "Brother Chun is All Man, A Real Iron-man" (春哥纯爷们,铁血真汉子), and included in Photoshopped images that feature Li's head atop the body of Bruce Lee, a male bodybuilder, an alpaca, and so forth. The meme even rated an entry in the list of ten mythical creatures that exploded online early in the year. In the meme's latest development, Li Yuchun has become a messiah figure. "Believe in Brother Chun for eternal life" (信春哥得永生) the saying goes, repeated in forums and 'shopped into pictures lifted from Chinese religious websites like Gospel China.  Believe in Brother Chun for eternal life  Brother Chun is all man  Links and Sources

 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?
