Of course they had been burned and forgotten by the time a dutch dude found one of the few surviving originals (in Japan) and started writing his own. Look up Judge Dee and Robert van Gulik.

Bajaj posted:I was browsing Kindle Deals in Amazon, and this popped up: I dont think chinese people have trouble understanding the concept of lies haier Otoh, this book could be retarded in other ways. I watched a korean detective movie recently called "the king's case note" and it was full of the worst derivative garbo conjoined to the worst korean sociallr reactionary garbo on a bare plot. The music and opening and pacing was just exactly the same as the guy ritchie sherlock movies, down to the slowmo fight predictions just being replicated in reverse as one guys memories. Korean sherlock was a made-up joseon king, of course, and he was perfect and brilliant and also doesnt kill because he is so virtuous, and he is also secretly the best swordfighter in korea. Watson is a big dumbass with a perfect memory that comes up maybe once, he is kinda funny because he is a huge fawning sycophant. The king is unmarried or something but obv nothing is gay because watson is also ugly and they are social classes apart. There are two women in the script, and they dont matter except they both do their crimes in conspiracy for their family and apologize on screen for being to weak to not do crime, the king virtuously forgives them and praises them chastley. There was zero mystery in the plot, most of the sherlocking was idiotic questions like "what was that underwater craft propelling itself???" and it turning out to be a submarine (invented by koreans). The oponening crime was that a guy walked into town and then was suddenly ablaze, the mystery was solved by the king revealing... The guy was covered in flammable material and somebody set him on fire from far away!!! Wow, I also watched the beginning of the chinese god of war, lmao, the plot is just how the brave chinese army needs to fight bacl against the filthy japanese who come to steal chinese women. Literally the same drat thing as the 1000 tv movies about china fighting imperial japan in wwii Slim Jim Pickens fucked around with this message at 15:47 on Nov 8, 2017 |

Since I am escaping India ASAP due to the hilarious pollution levels, I am looking at an apartment in Thailand. I forgot that this the time of year the dumbo farmers are burning their fields, which they they do every year and the government just watches and pretends to care when the AQI goes to 600 per day in the northern parts. It's been about 200 AQI non-stop for over a month now where I am, and I just can't handle it. We'd get 200 or so in Shenzhen, but it would last a day at the most and then go back down to 70 or whatever. I've been breathing in 200 for a month straight, no way to filter it, and it is absolutely taking a toll on me. I don't even remember what it feels like to breath properly out of my nose. I have like 1/4th of a working nostril left, and I constantly hack stuff up. I guess I am much more sensitive to pollution than I thought, because everyone else around me gets confused when I complain about it. I talked with my dad, and they will find a me a place near their apartment if I don't find one online that looks decent. There's a lot of nice stuff in their area for my price range. One caught my eye, but then I saw this... The hat was in several of the photos. I think it's like a subliminal message, or maybe even a warning sign. I'm a little put off by it, and I don't think I should put this place on my list. I worry the hat might be included in the furniture.  underage at the vape shop posted:I think Haiers point was that they because the guy said he didn't do it, they can't cause him to lose face and accuse him of it.

I was told they must be a cheating place. They were obviously going to lock me inside and rob me, and the whole embassy was a front for robbing people. It must be a fake embassy! I don't even know how to counter that level of idiocy, but this is how they think and it's normal and fine.

Honestly, I wouldn't buy baby formula in China even if it had a hologram seal, a certificate of authenticity, and an uninterrupted 23 hour video of that particular can leaving the assembly line and making its way to that store shelf and the last frame is my hand reaching out and grabbing it off the shelf. Why chance it when you're dealing with your child's health?

Tells him to move the truck. When the child walks back and stares at the truck driver - he then says the equivalence of "gently caress you I don't hear the engine turning on." At that point - you can hear the driver start the engine.

basic hitler posted:Yeah, how is distrusting Chinese manufacturing anything but wisdom? Fojar38 posted:"If I buy in China it is probably a poor product" is actually very wise This kind of thinking goes into every product and purchase. It doesn't matter if they go somewhere and buy something that was obviously imported, it is still probably fake in their minds. If they don't like something? Fake. If someone told them some gossip bullshit story about a girl in Henan that ate a baozi that was really made out of soft cement, then all baozi everywhere must be fake and we should all be cautious. They think I'm weird for walking into a nation-wide chain supermarket and buying stuff and going home and eating it without triple-checking if it's real. Every time I ordered anything off Taobao, the finger was hovering over 1-star rating as I was opening the box, because maybe I got a fake product. Even when I ordered a product direct from the manufacturer... it might be fake. I think it goes with face culture and the inability to admit wrongs. They now have a system where they must know if something new is genuine or fake, while living a society that doesn't care about knock-off name brands. They can blame any unhappiness with a product on "it must be a copy," because it's easier than admitting "I don't understand this," or "this is not to my expectations." It's easier to say that latest version of a pair of Nikes are fake instead of noticing that the design and fit is different than the previous version, and that's why the shoe isn't fitting the same as the other (another anecdote from personal experience). I spent a ton of money on dumb poo poo while I was there, getting Taobao orders every single week, and I never once met a product that wasn't genuine. People fell over themselves to scold me for buying imported milk powder for tea from the foreigner supermarkets. I was regularly scolded from buying anything from the foreign supermarket (Ole/BLT) because it must all be made in China and there's no way those products are really from Italy or Japan. Etc.

The gossip culture definitely spreads a lot of poo poo around that is probably blown way out of proportion, is just rumors, actually fake news, etc. We're just taking their approach of zero critical thinking and latching onto it because they are, while rejecting everything else they say. I'm mostly just talking about how quickly it comes up in casual conversation. It makes you doubt everything and then get weirder and weirder about it as time goes on.
