Thank God They Are Still Virgin

Filed under: Whatever — Shanghai @ 4:00 am

Despite previous internet claims that 84.14 percent of girls in the Beijing Foreign Studies University have had sex another highly scientific survey shows this is nonsense.

….the survey found 3.8 percent of sophomore girls have had sex experience, compared with 7.9 percent of junior girls and 24.8 percent of senior girls.

The survey team said their survey counteracted Internet claims that 84.14 percent of girls in the university have had sex, which damages the female students’ reputation because Chinese tradition respects virginity before marriage.

Chinese Internet Addiction Show

Filed under: Chinese Multi Media — Shanghai @ 3:54 am

computer games china Apparently there is a “Care for the Next Generation” organization here in China that came up with the luminous idea to educate the younger generation about the perils of playing computer games too much and too long.

In co-operation with some other friends the Care people have produced a 38-episode Internet addiction themed television show, called “The Story of Shan Dian Mao”.

The aim is to show teenage viewers the horrors of using the Internet too much.

Now just get those addicted internet game players to find some time forwatching the show and everybody will be happy.

Shanghai Propaganda Poster Art Museum

Filed under: China Culture — Shanghai @ 10:12 am

One of the most interesting museums I went lately is the Shanghai Propaganda Poster Art Centre. Hidden in a basement the world of Chinese Propaganda in the Mao era opens up to you.

I bought a comic book there from 1957. The cover shows an interesting view on the world at that time. The title is “Two Worlds”.

To find out what the western guy is protesting about, go to the special page that has been added with more info about the Shanghai Propaganda Poster Art Centre.

Transplants in China | Happy Volunteers

Filed under: China News — Shanghai @ 5:10 am

If you have need for a transplant and you’re living in China, chances are some prisoner is your happy, voluntarily donor.

An article from Nov 28, 2005 issue of the Caijing Magazine:

The Chinese government has admitted that most human organs used for transplants in China are those of executed prisoners, and has promised to expedite new legislation that would regulate the market for those organs.

It will come not a moment too soon, as the number of organ transplants in China has soared over the last decade. China is now second only to the US, with approximately 60,000 kidney transplants, 6,000 liver transplants and 250 heart transplants since 1993.

Found through the interesting new blog “Non-Violent Resistence” , written by a young Chinese journalist.
