Stories from inside the Great Fire Wall

New China, New Jokes

1. Once, a Communist Party newspaper journalist went to a poor remote village to interview the villagers. He found a poor old man and asked, “Have there been any big changes in your life these years?” “Oh yes, big change!” said the old man. “In the old China, our lives were worse than those of cows and horses.” “And how about now?” the journalist asked optimistically. “Well, now we are just like them,” replied the old man.

2. The Vice President of the Urban Construction Bureau of Xin City, Liaoning province, was killed in his office after being stabbed seven times. After hearing the news, a netizen commented: “Kindergarten Kids sent a message of congratulation: Uncles and Aunts, you finally found the right person!”

3. From the perspective of the killing power of weapons, the world’s first ranked Weapon of Massive Destruction (WMD) is Chairman Mao.

4. The Chief of the Shenzhen Public Security Bureau said:”Without getting rid of all the unemployed people, Shenzhen will not have peace.” A Twitter user comments: “Don’t worry guys, the Chief just can’t stand his wife anymore.”

5. Hundreds of Chenguan from Pinddingshan Henan province driving their government cars all the way to Beijing due to default in payments. A netizen commented, “Those who have dogs, but don’t feed them are just as guilty as those who torture animals.”

6. Yes, we have more tanks than potatos, more rockets than sausages, but we can’t eat rockets every day, fire a nuclear bomb for Spring Festival.

7. Such a nice shaped ass crack*, such silky long legs* yet the dick* shrinks.

#Groin in Chinese is gu gou股沟, a nick name for gu ge谷歌, which is Google.

#leg in Chinese is tui腿, very similar to tui推 that is short for Twitter推特.

#dang裆 in Chinese is the place where a normal man’s dick should be located, which is the homophone of dang党, the Communist Party.

8. Some rumours say that Facebook is going to be imported to China, but what should the Chinese name of it be? How about just call it “shu书” (book)? As long as you enter China, you are losing face.

9. Some oversea Chinese supporters of the PRC government enthusiastically back up the phrase “Only distance creates beauty.”

10. Wen Jiabao visited Beijing University on the 4th of May, many students invited the Prime Minster to come back again next month!

11. Where can you find Chinese people’s old friends? If they are not in the People’s Great Hall in Beijing, they must be on the dock in the International Court of Justice in the Peace Palace in The Hague, Netherlands.

Welcome to Shanghai

Top Floor Circus @Modernsky Festival’08      Welcome to Shanghai

This is a song about what the Shanghainese think about the EXPO. I translated it into English. Below is the YouTube link and English lyric.

Year 2010 is an important year for Shanghai and China. The Expo will be held in Shanghai. This is a worldwide festival and a great opportunity for China’s development.

My home is on the Bund

Which Huang Pu river surrounds

Oriental pearl stands

At the sound of the bell

Girls walking on Huai Hai Rd

They are the most beautiful ones of the nation

Chewing you Tiao and da bing

We are small citizens

Welcome to Shanghai, welcome to shopping in Shanghai

But don’t forgot bring money

Shanghai welcomes you, the Olympics was nothing special

Let’s meet again at the Expo

Don’t say we are cheap

I invite you to Xin Tiandi

Drinking beer and being drunk

Let me show you how generous I am

Fifty-six nationalities in China

We are a big family

Just ask if you encounter trouble

It serves me right as I’m the richest

Welcome to Shanghai, welcome to shopping in Shanghai

But don’t forgot to bring money

Shanghai welcomes you, the Olympics was nothing special

Let’s meet again at the Expo

The Metro is running underground and skyscrapers are all over the place

Tract mansions build up the Huang Pu river side

But I only have three square meters to live on

Next time when you meet me I will be in the countryside

I could never go shopping at Zhongxin Futai Henlong square

The street vendors all got banished from Jinan Xiaoting Xiangyang Rd market

The crayfish price in Taining Rd is getting higher every year

We have to go and eat the Anhui food at the corner

Welcome to Shanghai, welcome to shopping in Shanghai

But don’t forgot to bring money

Shanghai welcomes you, the Olympics was nothing special

Let’s meet again at the Expo

Welcome to Shanghai, welcome to shopping in Shanghai

We don’t have the culture, but we have the money

Shanghai welcomes you, the Olympics was nothing special

Let’s meet again at the Expo

Welcome to Shanghai, welcome to shopping in Shanghai

But don’t forgot to bring the money

Shanghai welcomes you, the Olympics was nothing special

Let’s meet again at the Expo

Welcome to Shanghai, welcome to shopping in Shanghai

We don’t have the culture, but we have the money

Top Floor Circus @Modernsky Festival’08

Shanghai welcomes you, the Olympics was nothing special

Let’s meet again at the Expo
