The news sounds astonishing, but not really. The slavery comes along very well with fast and bloody original capital accumulation. To make it fast, pay less to workers are never better than pay nothing to them. It happens thousands of years ago, hundreds of years ago, and happens again now when there is a need. How sad for those slaves. China strikes at root of brick kiln slavery scandal http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2007-06/21/content_6270070.htm

最近因为刘德华大哥的经纪人拒绝'同一首歌'，被孟导鄙视的新闻，'同一首歌'的运作成了焦点。赫赫，看到了相关新闻，宝鸡也被提到了。 http://news.tom.com/2007-06-20/0027/84434956_04.html 知情人说:"最后有一个人告诉宝鸡'同一首歌'明确的报价:700万元。这超出了宝鸡市'不超过550万元'的预算。在北京的官员跟宝鸡方面领导汇报后，得到肯定的回应，'已经到这一步了，不在乎多150万元'。" "一般演出的成本基本上包括三个部分:演员，舞美，灯光。但'同一首歌'的成本里还包含了很重要的一块是播出费用。"丁力说，最后支付给"同一首歌"的接近700万元演出报酬里，演员费用200多万元，播出费用 160万到170万元，其他还有一部分制作费。这和孟欣在今年接受某媒体采访时对"同一首歌"所得报酬构成的分析大不相同，她曾说:"其实我们80%的费用都是演员的出场费，10%是制作费，10%用在录像、吃住上。"事实上，"吃住"当然全由地方政府买单。筹办小组被通知7月25日可以坐下来跟"同一首歌"的一名制片主任谈论实质性合作了，丁力感叹说:"终于见真神了。"

There is beneficial policy for oversea scholars to buy car after settle back home, which includes car price discount, purchase tax exemption. To really enjoy this one, it is not easy. See the flow on this website http://www.autodutyfree.cn/shouxu.asp . You need go back China within 2 years after graduation, and buy car under this category within the first six months. Just look at all these documents to prepare, and places to go. Also you need to consider where you register the car plate. For Shanghai plate, it costs over 40K CNY. Under this category, you may face certain constraints to register your car under certain city. I am sure. Overall, damn, for a 100K CNY, not worthy it.

The movie ticket in China costs 80 CNY for weekend. It is much cheaper during other time slots, such as Monday, Tuesday evenings, about 20, 30CNY.

Wikipedia.com is blocked in China as always. Blogger.com and Flickr.com are blocked in China now and then. The censorship system seems triggered by keywords. If your site has those words, your whole site is blocked. The mechanism seems too harsh for Web 2.0 sites, for example, the sites mentioned above. Those sites' contents usually are aggregated by million of internet users. One user posts some sensitive contents. The whole site is blocked even though tons of others are harmless to any party.

there are dozens of motorcyclists for hire nearby the metro stations. it is cheaper than taxi, especially for adjacent area, but with bigger safety risk. today i took one from zhangjiang station to german center. the cost is 5 cny. i am sure the price can be bargained. it is far more dangerous than taxi. the motorcyclist doesn't even stop on red light. this is the first time I took it, and will be the last time too.
