Introducing: Face Down Hong Kong I’ve been traveling the whole day and am currently in Singapore, so apologies if I missed any good stories. But we have some great weekend content lined up, so stick around for that. For now, links.
This man on the Hangzhou-Ningbo Highway in Zhejiang province really had to use the bathroom, so he hopped out of his car (presumably) and took a leak right in front of a toll booth. Not sure that’s the best place: all these booths are equipped with surveillance cameras, as we’ve seen before. The operator first says,... Read more »
Quoting what appears to be an official film synopsis:
Due West: Our Sex Journey describes the internal struggle of a young person seeking “love” and “lust” in contemporary society of Hong Kong. The film reflects the reason why men head North to Mainland to seek pleasure and the general problems exist among Hong Kong girls.

We've seen roadside buskers -- even drummers -- aplenty, but few are as impressive as this young man, identity unknown, who uses pots, pans and buckets to create music. This was posted on the Sina Weibo of @Ghost190 on Monday.

I've always associated Wudaokou with the opening scene of Blade. A young American guy with a dumb and full-of-cum look is led by an attractive Russian past a burley bearded bouncer into a nightclub. It has every characteristic of a night club: flashes of darkness amid strobe and techno lights, minimal maneuvering, bumping, pushing, tugging, tripping, biting. And wetness. Everyone in clothing appropriate for Carnival yet still drenched as if they’d run through sprinklers. As we all know (if you don’t, consider this a spoiler alert for the movie Blade), the liquid is actually blood, the American guy's actually in a vampire-infested den, and just as he's about to get eaten, Wesley Snipes swoops in and wipes everyone out with a sword.
Zheng Gang, a PhD student, died while donating sperm at Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology on February 2011, and thanks to a lawsuit his father filed for 4 million yuan, we get to hear all about the country’s (world’s?) first known case of a man dying while donating sperm. Reports China... Read more »
Remember when I wrote yesterday, "Perhaps Party members should exercise more caution when dealing with people?" This story, published two days ago on Huasheng Online, is what I meant.
On September 3 in Chengdu, two journalists showed up unexpectedly at a university to investigate claims that East Star Airlines had engaged in illicit financial activities with the school. They were accosted by Gu Yingzhi, the school's dean and also a CPPCC Standing Committee member of Meishan City, Sichuan province.
