A “Mr. Wu” of Lishui in Zhenjiang province hit the brakes when the light turned red at the intersection he was approaching. Next thing he knew, he says, some shadowy form fell onto the windshield of his car. Then he noticed that it was a person. A traffic camera captured what happened. Don’t worry, nothing [...]

Some very impressive military discipline on display here in a BTV report from Tian’anmen Square, where the three branches of the PLA are parading in rehearsal for the big day, now only 10 days away.
I’ve heard that they actually had sharp tacks in the collars of their uniforms to make sure that they kept their [...]

If you didn’t happen to be in downtown Beijing around 11am yesterday, you missed a preview of the mini air show planned for the Party’s party, the October 1 60th b-day celebration. Never fear, you can see the highlight reel above.

Hong Kong hearthrob Andy Lau (Liu Dehua) admitted yesterday to having lied about his marital status. He is, as it turns out, married to his Malaysian girlfriend Carol Chu, and has been for a year.

It’s been viewed about a half-million times in the 24 hours since it was posted, with the overwhelming majority of votes going thumbs-up, [...]

The uploader of this 94-minute documentary titled it, “If you are younger than 18, no need to watch this. But if you’ve been through Gaokao [college entrance exams], take a look. Documentary: Senior Year (高三).”
On Youku Buzz, we’ve talked about what Gaokao is and how Chinese students feel about it before. But the 50 second [...]
