There were still very few science fictions in China in 1950s, I only knew a book named "From Earth to Mars" was published in 1954, but I've not read it and can't find any interesting photos about it. And soon because of the Culture Revolution, there were almost none decent novels from 1960s to...

I like "The Mole", it's one of my favorites when I was a little boy. The mole is very funny and always has interesting ideas.

I read about Fallout2 in a PC game magazine, there were quite a few game or computer related magazines in China before 2000, when internet is still not so popular in China. There will always be some articles about a new released great game. Many Chinese played FO2 as their first FO game. The...

Not at all, as far as I know :) People will say "you can only prove yourself a strong guy after climbing up the Great Wall", but that's it. Of course, Chinese people play almost every popular game in the west. But those games which have no Chinese Edition will be less popular in China. In China...

Yes, it's complex. For example, there is a Chinese word "zou" 走, in Mandarin it means "go" or "walk", but in ancient Chinese, it means "run", and in Cantonese, this word still means "run", so if someone who speaks Mandarin say "zou" to you, it's nothing urgent, usually, but if you hear some one...

Wow, this one is difficult. I can hardly tell you "how many", as there are "too many", but let me tell you what I know. Firstly, about the nations, it's true there are 5 biggest "Autonomous Regions" in China, and they are, Zhuang Autonomous Region (in Guangxi Province) Xizang/Tibet Autonomous...

It's true that the games which have different idealism with CPC will be officially banned in China, the famous one should be Red Alert. But as you know, we can still play it in China without many difficulties even when it's officially banned. I'm interested in the topic about history, but it's...

Glad to know you feel this thread interesting. About the communism, there's a famous joke, I heard it by 2000. Mr Deng Xiao Ping and Jiang Ze ming are in the car "China", and they arrived an intersection, on the left side the road sign says "Communism", on the right side it's "Capitalism"...

I still have some memories about the army going to Tian An Men Square, that's the first time in decades PLA have to face normal Chinese citizens as their enemy, those people are not criminals, but normal citizen. I can understand why the solider in the tank will not crush the citizen before...

Lol, I never know this guy is so famous in west. I can understand why CPC feels awkward to report it. Tank man disobeyed CPC and survived, CPC would not tell Chinese people about his courage, which could be a bad model, if more and more people act like tankman and believe they will not be hurt...

If you mean the tank man in 1989, yes, I knew about this guy while I visited wiki, I think that man is brave. China need more people like him to get real progress in politics. But I didn't know anything about him before I visited wiki, as he is not reported by the official media, and I was still...

Yes, of course, the problem of Chinese is not "don't look at the bright", but "look too much at the bright and try to forget the dark side" :yuck: Yes, that's a good question. As I said for a few times, China is huge and has a lot of people, so different people have different opinions on most...

I can only tell you my own opinion about the government and the "Party", as there are too many people in China, and different people have different points of view. I don't like the government, and disagree with many of it's policies. And I'm worried about the situation of the freedom of speech...

No, I didn't mention it (as I'm not very clear about it), many thanks for the post! I have an impression that Cittàdel Vaticano is the only European country which has diplomatic relations with Taiwan(ROC) and not PRC, that's one of the important reason that CPC will not allow Vaticano be the...

Yes, GFW is very stupid. There is no rating system in China, and the government wants to treat every citizen as 8 years old kids. The guy who created GFW is hated by most Chinese and will be thrown shoes or bad eggs if he appears publicly.

Thanks for your reply. I think you can answer most of the questions in this thread, and it will be interesting if you and me can answer the same questions from different angle. And if you have better answers, please feel free to post it.

Oh, then I guess you guys will have the same "being single sucks" moment, especially when in the mid-night you hear the bed in another room shaking violently, or some other noise?:roffle:

I am not sure FO2 has ever been banned or not, I purchased it in 2000. And as you may know, we can always find a free copy from Internet so the government can not really ban it even it can't be sold :wiggle: Yes, tor has been blocked for a few years. I usually use a VPN provided by my friend in...

Hi, very nice to meet you. May I ask where are your parents from? I noticed that you are using traditional Chinese in the signature.

The rent in my city is also increasing. Many young people will share the rent and live together, 4 peoples live in one apartment, for example. And if some of them are not single, it is possible that 6-8 people live together. but if they want to have babies, that will be very inconvenient. I...
