Meet the Chens of Sichuan, such Michael Jackson fans that they learned several of his moves by watching the legend on TV. We introduced you to Chen Zeyang, the seven-year-old, earlier today, as he mesmerized a crowd by dancing to Smooth Criminal. In the above, he's joined by his five-year-old brother as they sing (partly) 最炫民族风 (Most Dazzling Minority).
If you can’t find it, build it. Noah’s Ark is the creatively named project of Chinese inventor Yang Zongfu, an insulated, breathable, livable yellow ball that we’re told can withstand 1,700 degrees Celsius of heat, survive a magnitude-10 earthquake, and support life for a year (not like James’s Giant Peach, we don’t think, but it...

Following up on our post earlier today featuring a naked man riding a bicycle, here’s a naked woman walking down Culture Lane yesterday evening in Kunming, Yunnan province. Key of China Hush brings us this picture via ifeng. As Key reports: Netizens made fun, this foreign woman “expressed her bossiness”, “This world is too crazy, at least wear... Read more »
Michael Jackson impersonators abound in China (one of the more famous ones is Master Zhang Hongliang [video], often seen around the popular night districts in Beijing), but I haven't seen one quite this young. In Yibin, Sichuan province, seven-year-old Chen Zeyang attracted quite the crowd recently by dancing to Smooth Criminal. His five-year-old brother apparently loves MJ as well -- here are the two of them in action. The two reportedly practice while watching the King of Pop of pop on TV, and everything they do is self-learned. The Youku video description tells us Chen wants to be a professional impersonator or MJ dancer/choreographer when he grows up.
The onomatopoeia “啪,” which is just “pa” (the sound for “bang” in Chinese), is interpreted by Google Translate as “black,” but noted as an interjection meaning “bounce.” 啪啪, meanwhile, is translated as “pops.” But then the real fun begins: 啪啪啪 is “lovemaking,” which makes total sense, if you think about it. And 啪啪啪啪? Pops pops. 啪啪啪啪啪? Lovemaking pops. So... Read more »
A tourist in Qingdao nearly lost her life last Thursday when she crept a bit too close to the seashore to take pictures and ended up getting swept away by powerful waves. Very luckily for her, three migrant workers dove in after her when no one else dared to.
The dramatic rescue was caught on film by Liu Duo, who told a TV station (video embedded after the jump) that several people on shore saw the woman in trouble but no one thought they could beat the waves.
We've seen the consequences of drivers who confuse accelerators for brakes, which are sometimes awful, but never anything as jaw-dropping as this. In Ningbo, Zhejiang province on July 26, a red car plows into a woman and child riding an electric bike, and for whatever reason, the car doesn't stop until it hits a wall. The mother and child completely disappear underneath the car as those nearby are sent scampering.
It could be that the man is just rubbing his face in the other man's leg. Hard to say. I will point out, though, how ineffectual those two women and man are at trying to break up the fight (or is one of them instigating?). A word of advice: put yourself in between the combatants instead of tugging at their limbs.
