Around China : DaqingDevil commented on news Insane Police Mix Up: Zhengzhou Police Mistake Female Officer for Prostitute

7 or 8 police officers sent to arrest one female prostitute! Maybe they asked for volunteers for such a dangerous job hence the "punch first ask questions later" tactic employed. These same police officers would not have the temerity to book a driver running a red light you can bet. Full Comment>>

So the guy, heeding his father's advice, made the mature decision to jump in the river so as to get some attention. Little did he know that the river is so polluted that he would never be able to drown. You can see from the picture that the guy is standing up on a pile of rubbish. The river is actually 11 metres ... Full Comment>>

Blogs : DaqingDevil commented on Samsara 's blog Chinese Self-Perception

Well written article and so true. You have captured the Chinese psyche almost to a tee. I wonder whether it is this self 'deception' that stops them from moving forward in social development? It's certainly frustrating for those of us trying to understand. Full Comment>>

During the week I got out on my bike and rode around some of the hundreds of apartment blocks in Longfeng. It is a fascinating ride and when I ...
