iliyi说他不想看这部电影,因为不想自己反日情绪失控,于是我便有点犹豫了。我有学过历史,我有认真地参观过南京大屠杀纪念馆,尽管我没有经历其中, 那些画面和片段却是会永远刻入脑中。所以,看《南京!南京!》就是看一部已经知道结果的小说,虽然选取了不同人物去刻画,我们都知道他们最终的结果。画面 没有想象中震撼,情感也没有意料中激动,只是那几个与被历史大车轮碾碎的人物却让我看到有种新的希望。姜老师死了,却换来两个生命的自由
I am addicted to words and thoughts, but also life
Meet the Grass Mud Horse (草泥马), a rare animal that has become phenomenally popular in the past month.
The animal, whose name sounds like a common curse (操你妈), is the most famous of the Ten Legendary Beasts of Baidu, non-existent animals that were inserted into Baidu's user-editable encyclopedia. Although the majority are juvenile puns for curse words or genitalia, the collective editing process did manage to come up with a few clever descriptions.
Here are the rest:
And finally, in a nod to the editors of the encyclopedia, there's the Stork-Cat Ape (鹳狸猿) that inhabits Baidu County in Lanzhou. This entry pokes fun at Baidu administrators (管理员) who continually spar with the online pranksters and who ultimately deleted all of these entries.
Although the Ten Legendary Beasts have been wiped from Baidu, the Grass Mud Horse lives on in Photoshopped images (the cute cousin to the Alpaca turned up at the CCTV fire) and videos.
Here's the "Song of the Grass Mud Horse," a spot-on parody of a contemporary children's songs:
For lyrics and analysis, see China Digital Times.
Another clever parody uses the familiar format of Animal World (动物世界), a popular CCTV program, to introduce the Grass Dirt Horse and its habitat.
But fun with Baidupedia is not entirely about dirty words. For a different level of satire, check out the now-deleted entry for revolutionary hero Wei Guangzheng (伟光正, taken from 伟大, 光荣, 正确, "great, glorious, correct"):
Wei Guangzheng
Comrade Wei Guangzheng is a superior product of natural selection. In the course of competition for survival, because of certain unmatched qualities of his genetic makeup, he has a great ability to survive and reproduce, and hence Wei Guangzheng represents the most advanced state of species evolution.
Here is the evolution of Wei Guangzheng's thinking: Since the day of his birth, comrade Wei Guangzheng established a guiding ideology for the people's benefit, and in the course of connecting it with the real circumstances of his beloved Sun Kingdom, a process of repeated comparisons that involved the twists and turns of campaigns of encirclement and suppression, his ideology finally realized a historic leap forward and generated two major theoretic achievements. The first great theoretic leap was the idea of leading a handful of people to take up arms to cause trouble, rebellion, and revolution in order to build a brave new world, and to successfully seize power. This was the "spear ideology." The second great theoretic leap was a theory, with Sun Kingdom characteristics, in which Wei Guangzheng was unswervingly upheld as leader and the people were forever prevented from standing up. This was the "shield theory." Under the guidance of these two great theoretic achievements, comrade Wei Guangzheng won victory after victory. Practice has proven, "Without Wei Guangzheng, there would be no Sun Kingdom." Following the road of comrade Wei Guangzheng was the choice of the people of the Sun Kingdom and an inevitable trend of historical development.
Comrade Wei Guangzheng endured a bitter struggle for survival. In his struggles with natural conditions, he climbed mountains and trudged through plains, expressing with an iron will a legendary story of pathos that continues to impress his posterity. In struggles with heterogeneous individuals, he engaged in a long-term fight with the reactionary government of the time and was ultimately triumphant. In his struggles with individuals in his own group, he cast out the cow devils and snake spirits that organized internal reactionary activity, and dealt them harsh punishment. This is the reason why comrade Wei Guangzheng could continue to survive: he fit perfectly with the three main factors of natural selection.
In the harmonious environment that comrade Wei Guangzheng himself constructed, mates were plentiful and there were no natural enemies, so Wei Guangzhengs could multiply quickly. Their numbers swiftly increased. Today, Wei Guangzhengs inherit the advantages of their Wei Guangzheng ancestors, and also attempt various innovations. For example, many Wei Guangzhengs use their unmatched power to amass money, setting records that are continually broken. Of course, evolutionary principles mean that there is also mutation, as when, following his leadership of a handful of people to take up arms to cause trouble, rebellion, and revolution and to seize power, Wei Guangzheng began to detest "a handful of people"....
The reason for this mutation may be due to errors in genetic transmission during the period of the second leap of Wei Guangzheng Thought. It is said that mutation frequently causes cells to function improperly or even die, or could lead to cancer. Yet at the same time, mutation is a motivating factor for the evolution of species: sudden changes that are less than ideal will be naturally discarded, while beneficial changes will accumulate. In this way, we see that mutations directly affect the evolutionary direction of Wei Guangzheng.
Update: Our friends from the World of Warcraft boards on Baidu's BBS have stopped by for a visit (草泥马被国外知名媒体报道 WOW吧名扬海外了).
我只能说庄老师察人于微,准到不行,再次拜服!
-----------------------------------------------
我有一个朋友。女的,才跟男朋友分手。其实分了就分了也没什么痛苦的——要是不那么难受的失恋,绝大多数原因是那男的太不是个东西了并且自己尚未陷入太深的情网中不能自拔。
都 市里其实是有一种外企鸡贼小气男的,你就算跟他分手了,他也不过是算算自己各方面的付出和回报是否平衡,他如果难受也是因为觉得亏了。最好玩的是,他觉得 亏的原因还真不是说当时给女朋友花了多少钱什么的,而是觉得自己后来再找的女朋友怎么就那么不体面呢,无论长相还是学识还是赚钱能力都比不上原来那个,自 己一定是当时神思错乱了才会出轨。
嗯…… 这一段开始才进入故事的点。他后来的那个女朋友开始瞄准我那个女朋友了,可能她也觉得那男的干嘛要放弃那么好的女人跟自己在一起啊,再加上那男的平时说话 也不大注意,经常流露出情人还是老的好的那意思,这女朋友就更来劲了,卯着劲儿每天刷新人家前女友的博客,倒要看看她哪儿好了。
后来的结果是,人家写了去哪里吃了饭看了什么书听了什么歌,她也要通通照搬一遍,以为这样那男的就会觉得她也是个有内涵的女人。当然,效果不甚满意,她就能脑残到给人家前女友留言说你劝劝他好好过日子吧,你那篇儿已经翻页了,不是吗不是吗不是吗?
这 当然成了个笑话。不过一留心,敢情日常生活中紧盯着某个女人的博客不断刷新的事情是常见的。我现在明白了一道理,所谓“成功”的女人,一定是要为难女人 的。这也就是说她在俘获了一个男人之后,还要连踩带埋消灭前赴者和后继者,只有打败了其他女人,才是人生最高成就。就我身边的真实事例来看,博客已经成了 女人们斗争的新场所。有第三者成天刷新原配博的,那是为了看看他们的日子到底幸福不幸福,以及那男的到底什么态度以及原配到底多优秀;自然也有第三者和原 配互殴互骂还有亲友团在旁边呐喊上阵的;还有两个情敌间微妙的别苗头的段子——你写了他和你吃晚饭,我就要写和他去看电影……至于大家互相攀比男人、衣 服、生活方式,我都懒得再说了,反正,女人的进步往往是要给自己树立一个假想敌来追赶的,听上去,好被动哟。
我 还有一个朋友,因为她是某男的原配的好姐妹,居然也不幸的被当做了假想敌。在那个女人看来,她居然可以和他们夫妻走得那么近,而且还是很公开的坦荡的,都 是对自己地下情多年的一种反讽。当然,经常看看她的博客,往往可以知道那男人又背着自己给老婆买了什么,以及他在外面拼死拼活她老婆居然在家享福分财产。 恨乌及屋这事也经常发生,于是她愤恨的留言说我的生活方式才不像你们那么装我不要听许巍看葵花喝普洱,可是,这次,她的假想敌也太偏颇了吧,谁关心你自己 回家去喝鲫鱼汤呢?
我还有一个朋友,她男朋友的前女友在博客上幽怨的说,为什么我没有过哈尼这样的爱称。……就,这种心态,真想叫亲友团们扑过去说,还有个“笨蛋”的爱称,你要吗?
