Do you hate New Yorkers?

Can’t remember since when Shanghainese became a unfavorable symbol among all other Chinese. Shanghainese are not the richest people in Mainland China, nor the culture leader. But suddenly you’ll find newspaper is saying “In Lujiazui (the finance center in Shanghai like Wall Street) if you speak Shanghainese, you are illiterate”. And you’ll find some Hong Kong based furniture company’s Shanghai branch promulgates company regulation that “speaking Shanghainese in office hours will be fined of RMB 50”. When browsing the Internet, you will be surprised that so many posts are attacking Shanghai.
What’s wrong? Who’s fault? Many of those attackers have never been to Shanghai. What they say is what other people say about Shanghai. And in their eyes, Shanghai is a hell. Shanghainese are miserly. They worship things foreign and fawn on foreign countries. Shanghainese are spineless. In Shanghai, such a International Megacity, those Shanghainese would rather speak their stupid language than Mandarin. Without us, Shanghai is just a fishing village. Where is your pride from?
In Shanghai, you can find outlanders anywhere who’s making money on one hand and badmouthing Shanghai on the other hand. But ironically, all of them are shooting their last bolt to stay in the “hell”. Perhaps, after they screw up everything and go back to their hometown,  they will tell people around them “I’ve been to Shanghai. Shanghai is a hell”. When a Shanghainese going out of the city, the best compliment they will receive is “You’re not like Shanghainese”.
If you want to be a part of the city, you must love the city. The phenomenon is just on the contrary. They are trying to be conquerors. In China, regional conflict has become more and more acrimonious these days. So let me throw a question on the table. As an American, do you hate New Yorkers?

Sony VAIO P?

Haven't you got the world’s lightest 8-inch laptop Sony Viao P?

No worries~ Because in China, you can make a VAIO P yourselves. For example, if you have a Thinkpad, you can carry it like this:

Or if you only have a PC, you can still enjoy the convenience of VAIO P:

Hangzhou Tourism coupon granted in Shanghai

Yesterday, 135,000 Hangzhou tourism coupons were handed out in Shanghai.

Many of them had been in the queue since early morning. Over 1 thousand people were queuing up outside the bank at 2pm. As the queue getting longer and longer, the bank started to hand out 1 hour before the distribution time.

People went crazy started to grab the free coupons.

There were too many people, in the end, police had to be call to maintain the order.
But it was such a chaos out of control. The distribution was halted for security reason.

Look at them! How happy they are!

Fake note from ATM in China

A few cases are reported that people get fake money from ATM.
And it is ironic that if you try to save those cash back to the bank by Cash Recycling System, the fake ones will be not be accepted.

Seems China's banks are letting their people to bear the loss of fake note.
For all the cases, the banks denied the fake cashs are outlet from their machines.
People appeal to get the money from the counter instead of ATM.

Cultural Revolution and Maoist

In those days, China suffered greatly from culture, education, religion, etc.

Quotations from Chairman Mao, published more than The Bible!

Wu Mao (5 Jiao)

Wu Mao's means 5 Jiao (RMB 0.5 Yuan). It is a new term on China's Internet.
The China's government never asked people's will before if they wanted to promulgate a new policy.
But now things have changed. Now, they will firstly do some survey on the Internet. Say if they want to levy a new tax, they will ask "do you think the new policy will improve the standard of living/environment or do you think the new policy will make the society more harmonious?" Of course, the answer is so predictable. Why? Because of Wu Mao.
Wu Mao is a profession. Every time they post some "Good" comment" or initiate a "Good" post will make 0.5 Yuan. They are hired secretly and they are always around us hiding in the dark.
Do you believe what I said above? Hey, it's a rumor. Our party is always right, our government is always open. LOL.

She knelt down for a job

The economic recession has deeply and profoundly impacted China's unemployment.
In Guangzhou, a university girl knelt down before the HR manager for a job in a job fair.

She put her resume on the desk making the HR manager awkward.

Drought in China-Whose fault?

China is experiencing a serious drought in the North where crops dried-up and withered.

People find it very weird that farmers don't irrigate their farmland.

Why? Because the cost of the irrigation is too high. Every acre needs 50 yuan for the electricity for one time irrigation. And every acre needs at least twice irrigation. Plus other cost, the total cost will be over 200 yuan. On the other hand, an acre of wheat can only sell for 400 yuan. In other word, in the end you only benefit some pocket money.

 

"I'd rather let the crop die." says a farmer. And that's the miserable situation of China's agriculture.
