Quickly becoming one of our favorites, here's Donnie again with another episode of Donnie Does, this time from Happy Valley Amusement Park (we assume the one in Shanghai). "After that I said fuck it," he says at the end. Yeah, that's about right for a life philosophy, sometimes. Fuck it.
We all know the stress of traveling, but how many of us, after missing a flight, would start banging on doors and kicking tables like this guy?
How many of us have the power to do so?
This man is a CPPCC committee member of Shizong county in Yunnan province, say netizens, identified as Yan Linkun.
You know what's equally impressive as a Peking Opera adaptation of Les Mis? This South Korean adaptation. It's been on the Internet for a little over two weeks now and has more than 4 million views, so there's a good chance you've already seen it. Just in case you haven't though, please watch.
Whether dealing with common pets or endangered species, many humans still don't know how to be humane. But public reaction to conditions at the Beijing Zoo and an incident at South China Normal University in Guangdong indicate that at least awareness is growing among animal advocates and netizens in this country.
A video of the poor living conditions of a polar bear at the Beijing Zoo, posted by Sina Weibo user @临临Lynn, elicited a flood of comments yesterday.
North Korea may be distressing policymakers here and abroad with its threats of nuclear blah-blah-blah, but most people tend to shrug off its proclamations as rhetorical bluster, which we've all seen before. "Final destruction," DPRK? Really? You mean, this is finally the final one, now?
North Korea, at this point, is a parody of itself, but that doesn't mean it can't use the occasional poke. Here's Kingsoft to oblige.
Thousands of friends, classmates, and strangers, many of them wearing white flowers, gathered on Gangtie Road in Xingtai, Hebei province at 9 am on Wednesday to bid farewell to Ren Wei, a 16-year-old who drowned while trying to save a man who fell through ice on February 16. Even sanitation workers held banners that read, "RIP Ren Wei," and "Ren Wei, we'll always cherish your memory."
A 3-year-old girl in Linzi district, Zaozhuang, Shandong province who enjoys playing in washing machines recently got stuck in one, requiring firefighters to cut through the utility with hand and electric saws.
Before you judge... this happens more often than you think.
Mandiant identified "Unit 61398” as a headquarters of sorts for Shanghai-based hacking outfit APT1, and traced it to a 12-story building in Pudong district.
Are they right?
Tom Hooper's adaptation is getting all the press -- it's Oscar season, after all, and Les Misérables is up for Best Picture -- but years before, there was another, one might say bolder, attempt to adapt this musical classic.
In 2006, students at the National Academy of Chinese Theater Arts actually wrote a Peking Opera version of Les Mis, which you can watch in its entirety on Youku (split into two parts, both embedded here). The video was posted three years ago, but Tea Leaf Nation flagged it just now, and since Les Mis is fresh on our minds, what better time to revisit this masterpiece?
