I'm Chinese but I can grow a full beard. The first time my grandmother saw me with a beard, she started crying and said that I looked like a villain from a TV show. She was crying so hard and beating her chest that I swore she was foaming at the mouth. I had never seen her so emotional before, not even when she tried to recount surviving the Japanese occupation of Vietnam during WW2 and watching her family die when France fought the Viet Minh (part of my family were Chinese who settled in Vietnam before escaping due to the wars).

I still have my beard and I don't shave it when I see her. Ergo, I am a horrible person.

Yes, this movie was made in Austria, one of the few countries China could trade media with in the Cold War, so chances are every city granny or auntie would know it. Cultural forces you won't understaaaaaand.

Based on what she watches, she must have thought I would become a corrupt Imperial court eunuch, a murderous bandit, and Japanese collaborator all at the same time. Just stroking my beard while scheming, killing, and raping.

The logical end to this will be your in-laws trying to convince you that eating your kid proves how much you love them.

The Monument to the People's Heroes - that vaguely phallic-looking thing in the background of the Goddess of Democracy photo - is the only thing on the square that's completely barricaded off (aside from the area around the flagpole where an honor guard stands watch). It's got big wide steps leading up to it and a large raised landing encircling it, so was clearly designed to be visited up close. I could never figure out why no one was allowed to go near it.

Until I read a few histories of 1989 and realized that was where the pro-democracy forces first started gathering on the square. 5000 28 years of paranoia.

5000 years of beating your children because you love them.

The impetus for all of this is because he was blowing raspberries. Which was apparently rude and needed to be corrected. So they swatted him in the mouth when shouting no didn't work.

He's 1.

And not that it matters, but it's an important developmental step in language learning and mouth control. But whatever. Rude!

but then on the other hand gets up the chinese government for cracking down on the noble glorious chinese people who just wanted democracy in 1989

well i disagree with your hyperbole, but yah systems that shut down dissent and critical thinking breed ignorance in general, and when a vocal subgroup of that people go 'hey i think it is bad that we cant voice our opinions' then we can support that

like how is this a difficult notion for you?

Do you have a sedate, Al Borland beard or some beard-and-moustache-championship contender? Because every Chinese person I ever saw with a beard had a serious beard.

I keep it at Al Borland lengths. If I didn't trim for a couple years I think I could go full ZZ Top, but I'm not sure since I've never let it grow longer than an inch or two. My mustache is also not as thick (similar to Ai Wei Wei's), so keeping my beard trim keeps it from becoming too disproportionate and looking like a neckbeard.

People paying American dollars to let other people know they didn't agree with someone's position on something is the lifeblood of these forums.
Didn't, like, every cool guy in Three Kingdoms have a beard?

Edit: Cao Cao had one, and he won, so beards are fine.

Next time you see your grandmother, tell her you're going for a full Guan Yu beard, bag and all. She'd have to accept it!
