In other news... https://twitter.com/globaltimesnews/status/1459048478944808964 I misread this at first and had to look into it, because I thought he was saying China should do another great leap forward. Instead he's saying China shouldn't get carried away and do things too fast. So I guess Mao isn't completely sanitized yet...

stephenthinkpad posted:So this news only came out now in the VOD release. I haven't watched it I only saw the screenshot. in one of the scenes in Shang Chi, the bus driver has a visible red employee badge of "8964". I am surprise nobody spotted it during the theatrical run. I saw it and I knew right away this was the reason Shang Chi didn't get released in China. 8964 was the date of the Tiananmen massacre. Disney you try to clean up CCP's rear end in a top hat yet you let your artist put an Easter egg like that in the movie? Get yourself owned.

Nice and easy to listen to. judge dee books are fun. the original book is just book a dutch dude found in old book shop and it made for a good translation. the first book is truncated becaue while the first half is a cool chinese detective story that is pretty clear and easy the to follow. the second half(that was never translated) veers into GRRM teritory with big long court shadow politics and apparently tons of pornography apparently extremely descriptive of the emperesses clit. anyway the translator writes a bunch of spin off books and most are solid. chinese detective fiction is interesting.

No, you're right. If anyone asks, mistakes were made but stop loving talking about it. Also the famine was only a couple million dead at most and 100% because of the weather, definitely NOT the Party's fault.

How dare you doubt the veracity of the 'Three Year Natural Disaster Period', which just happened to coincide with the great leap forward.

ok i haven't watched it yet but now just for this i feel like i should show my respect and watch it.. i also saw this today https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POqEcUtqxNc and my trained "one china" brain immediately went "wait is buzzfeed going to be canceled now" - but then it was like, you know what, doesn't look like any 小粉红 has noticed (or cared enough to do anything yet) as i see nothing from the comments on first look, so i should just enjoy a video for once without fearing that it brings another boycott or something...

As i hear the same event being referred to as "tian'an men square" wayyy more than "8964" in English. I saw this on the side of the freeway to Las Vegas, while only glanced it for 1s, as soon as i recognized it as "64" i was like WHAT HOW THIS IS THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, but then it took me a minute to actually explain to Sercypher who is english speaking that "64" means "tian'an men square" and that i am sure that's what it is and we should stop to take a look. (it was worth it, i would recommend it if you are going on a roadtrip in california and happen to pass by it: https://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/63111)

BrutalistMcDonalds posted:There's a lot of intense hype stuff that the commissars / political officers do. Like, speeches (which they rehearse, it's a performance) and song-and-dance performances and battle poetry stuff to psyche the troops up. And some of it will also be that combined with 80s power rock. If you read Mao transcripts held by the Wilson Center, there's one where he's talking to a Vietnamese general during the Vietnam War and advising them to engage in "political work" before battles if they have time for it, and I imagine commissars doing this kind of thing to psychologically prepare them for combat. This is the PLA Rocket Force: There's a good movie, Youth, about a performing arts company in the PLA in the 70s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Youth_(2017_film)  How they have to do all this stuff celebrating mao while half their parents are in camps during the cultural revolution. Then Mao dies and the army gets 'de-politicized' to a certain degree, and a lot of them no longer know what to do with themselves. It's also covers the Sino-Vietnamese war. There's a lot going on in it and some mixed themes (and a little rose colored nostalgia of the maoist period) but overall I liked it.

TheBuilder posted:At least the track team offered him some hot water and wished him a good rest. I lol'd way too much at this. When I lived there, I was on an intramural basketball team (I'm American ergo I'm a natural, right?). I went up for a rebound and an opposing player basically chop-blocked me and I landed really hard on my side. When I went to the local doCtoR he offered me some hot water, and essentially a large bandaid with some smelly TCM stuff on it, plus another one for later. I realize there's not much to do with what we determined was a cracked rib other than limit movement and let it heal, but experiencing chabuduo healthcare with no x-ray or exam of any sort, much like that Polish Olympian, I was lucky it wasn't way more severe.

BrutalistMcDonalds posted:That looks interesting. Also on the morale-building stuff in the military, I was watching some Chinese war movies made in the 90s and there's a scene of the Yangtze crossing and there are peasants with instruments performing for the soldiers as they march into the battle. I assumed this is something they actually did: I'm totally sure a Chinese war movie from the 1990s is absolutely 100% historically accurate just like noted western documentaries like U-571.

It's not that silly, performing arts units were a huge part of the PLA. I'm sure there were at least some places on the way to the front where they had set up entertainment companies as people marched past towards battle. I doubt they were standing right on the other side of the river though...

Presumably because it's a mystery, then the state police weren't able to solve it. And if the state police weren't able to solve it, then either they're incompetent or you, the player, are more competent than they are. And that just won't do, no.

MarcusSA posted:Can someone explain he murder mystery thing to me? Like I kinda see why card games might fall under the regulations (gambling I guess) but murder mystery? I don’t get that. From what I've read, murder mystery games (aka "script murder") have become absolutely huge among young people in China. There's a perception that young people are highly suggestible and that their minds will be corrupted if exposed to the wrong content. And of course these kinds of events can be seen as a Western export. quote:[The Zhuzhou anti-vice commission] visited six businesses where the murder mystery games are played, scruticizing the murder scripts for “harmful” content including obscenity, pornography, violence, cultism, superstition, gambling, and suicidal content.

I don’t get that. because they hate fun in all seriousness though...some of the reasons include: superstition is bad, violence (same reason for regulating video games) is bad. And the plot line of a murder mystery / escape room will naturally involve all these elements. Or in other words they just hate fun.
