There are generally two categories in Chinese ancient paintings methodologically, one is hand-drawn Chinese paintings that are mounted into scrolls, the other is New Year paintings and engraved paintings that adopt block printing.
This letter is a harsh, scathing, sarcastic and incredibly blunt criticism of President Obama. On Blogchina, this post has 6,221 “顶” (people in support) and 2,531 “反对”(people against). It is the most read post in the past 48 hours, with over 40,000 hits.
Li Tusheng, the author of the letter, was born in Zhejiang, and graduated from the People’s Liberation Army, Nanjing Army Command College in 1991 and is now a senior advisor to the Association for Traditional Chinese Culture. He has lectured and written widely on traditional Chinese culture.

Two Beijing guys spent 3 and a half months hitch-hiking over 16,000 km across 13 countries to see one of the guy’s girl friend in Berlin, Germany. Altogether they took 88 hitch rides, including tricycle, tractor and carriage. Their journey was dubbed “the most romantic hitch-hike in history” by netizens.
This short article (from Tianya) was written by a student from the countryside. It has no statistics, nor is it necessarily anthropological, but it is an honest testimony from personal experience, which in my opinion, is sometimes more valuable than quasi-objective statistical conclusions.
It starts out:
I, myself, am a person from the countryside。 I’m not writing this to be discriminatory, I just hope it leads to reflection, and maybe to finding the source of the problem.
From Netease:
Today is lunar Jan. 5th (Feb. 18), the birthday of Cai Shen Ye (财神爷), Chinese god of wealth. 550,000 people rushed to Guiyuan Temple before dawn to burn incense as a way to welcome Cai Shen Ye, as well as to pray for blessings for the year of Tiger.
In fact, many people from in and out of Wuhan City started to queue up in front of Guiyuan Temple from 7 p.m. last night, waiting to serve Cai Shen Ye. Roads leading to the temple were filled up around midnight as the number of tourists reached its pinnacle.

At the night of lunar Jan. 2nd (Feb. 15th), some netizens reported that they could not login in cctv.com from time to time, and the homepage of CCTV was covered by a western woman’s picture. The page didn’t fully recover until 20:20. No official comment from the website by far.
This is a slightly older post on Mop (from October 2009) but it has gotten over 20,000 comments (and a lot of support) and somehow it has reached the top of the charts again. It seems to reflect a lot of the mainstream sentiment of how to be a 爷们. I guess it would translate to something like “manly man,” or “real man,” but it should be interpreted in a Chinese context. Personally, I see it as a modern and trendy way to say “男子汉," which is why I put a picture of Lei Feng (雷锋) up above. I am somewhat of a feminist, and I don’t really agree with categorical prescriptions like this, but this is still very interesting to me from an anthropological perspective. There are some things that seem to be something only a Chinese person would say, but some things that seem like they might apply to everyone. I’d be interested to see what you would add to the list, or what you take away from the list.

The Shanghai Forever Co., Ltd was founded in 1940, and has established a world wide reputation for producing the Forever brand traditional bicycle. It is a State-run company, and has made significant contributions to Shanghai’s rolling populace of over 10 million bikes.
Giant Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (捷安特) is a big name in the word of cycling. It bills itself as the world’s largest bicycle manufacturer. Giant has manufacturing facilities in Taiwan, Netherlands and mainland China.
As the Chinese fall in love with cars, and westerners fall out of love with them – China is once again a winner. According to the Earth Policy Institute (a Washington-based environmental think tank) of the 130 million bikes manufactured worldwide last year, China made 90 million, and exported two-thirds of them. About nine out of ten bikes bought by Americans are made in China…
From Qianjiang Evening News:

Throughout their journey, the bike caught much attention from people, and the journalist finally spotted them around Weihai Road (威海路). The bike was made by 2 regular bicycles next to each other with one common steering wheel.

Gongsi ( 公司) or "clan halls", are benevolent organizations of popular origin found among overseas Chinese communities for individuals with the same surname. This type of social practice arose several centuries ago in China. The Chinese word Gongsi is used in modern Chinese to mean a commercial company. The dutch word Gongsi has a slightly different connotation; it refers to a rather unusual cooperation between unrelated, non-typical partners.
Soccer is a game in which two teams of 11 players compete to get a ball into the other team’s goal by primarily using their feet.
History shows the Dutch are familiar with both. In terms of scouting talent Ajax is be a big name in the world of soccer, and perhaps soon even more so in China. The Amsterdam club has followed up on their international aspirations when they established a new gongsi with the CFA (Chinese football association), the top club of China FC Beijing Guoan and the Chinese state-owned television CCTV. The letter of intent, which already had been published on the club’s web site before, was recently signed by all parties in the Amsterdam arena. In recent years, Ajax has thoroughly examined the possibilities in China. With the signing of the "letter or intent", the research stage is over.

First let’s take a look these three front page headlines of the “Qingdao Morning Newspaper” around the same time this year, last year and the year before last year. Three photos, their content, characters and even the background are extremely similar. That’s right, other than the different looks of the four migrant workers, the rest of the pictures are the same! These are not photo-shopped pictures, they are better than the photo-shopped pictures – newspaper like this one is so easy to make! There are no mistakes!
The title is a phone conversation overheard in the streets after the China-Korea men’s soccer match. Not for 32 years has China beat Korea in a men’s soccer match. So when China beat Korea 3-0, Chinese soccer fans essentially went crazy with media saying it is a win of “historical importance.” The win has also wiped out the continued talk of “Koreanphobia” within the men’s soccer team, due to 27 consecutive non-wins in the past 32 years.
Having battled with problems of corruption and gambling, the men’s soccer team had finally re-discovered their confidence and ambition. Among Chinese soccer fans, there is a joke about the men’s soccer team. It goes something like this:
From Time Weekly:
78-year old Su Huawen sat quietly on the side of his bed, wearing a blue Chinese tunic with worn out sleeves he’s been wearing for the last 30 years, and black-rimmed presbyopia lenses. Lying on the bed was his 66-year-old wife who was suffering from brain shrinkage and cerebral arteriosclerosis, covered in thin but stiff cotton quilt.
“He has so little money that he has to make his quilt cover with clothes from a used banner,” said Su Guotong, one of Su Huawen’s students.
Like many other citizen-managed teachers, Su Huawen is a teacher in rural citizen-managed schools and he does not receive the normal remuneration from the government. He’s been teaching in Shanwei Village Primary School for half a century and has educated numerous students. He could have retired as an honorable teacher and lived well for the rest of his life had it not been for the document issued in 2000 by government of Leizhou City, which fired all the citizen-managed teachers overnight, canceling out all their work they’ve done. He lost his source of income, plus the wife’s brain illness, the old couple has sunk deep into poverty.
From Sina:
Liu Hong, a 40-year-old woman in Minquan, Shangqiu City, woke up her husband from a 12-year coma by repeatedly reading her husband’s love letter from his period of puppy love for the entirety of the 12 long years when he was in a coma.
Some 13 years ago, a car accident turned Huang Jianjun, Liu Hong’s husband into vegetable patient. Liu stumbled upon Huang’s well-kept secret of a love letter as she turned their house upside down trying to find anything valuable to pay for Huang’s expensive treatment. Though heartbroken, and knowing that Huang had kept his true love buried, Liu chose to keep reading him the letter after she found out Huang’s always had a subtle reaction to the letter. Throughout the 12 years, Liu has read the letter thousands of times as her husband’s consciousness is restored bit by bit.

“Overseas Chinese driver” in Formula One
The Chinese usually identify a person by ethnic origin instead of nationality.’Overseas Chinese’ are people of Chinese birth or descent who live outside the Chinese territories. As long as the person is of Chinese descent, that person is considered Chinese, and if that person lives outside of China, that person is “overseas Chinese”.
Ho-Pin Tung (董荷斌) was born and raised in the Netherlands, but he races with a Chinese license. His dream: to become a Formula One race driver. Few of us will ever have been any closer to achieving our dreams, when he became the first Overseas Chinese driver to be named in a Formula One team line-up. The Dutch-born 27-year-old, already the first Chinese national to drive a grand prix car, will be Renault’s official third (reserve) driver this season. When he tested for the team in December, he immediately impressed with his speed and feedback, which convinced Renault that he was ready to become part of the team.
