Artist Gao Yuan has produced a video based on the song “Nunchaku” by Taiwanese singer Zhou Jielun (Jay Chou), rewriting the lyrics to curse government censorship. In the Chinese subtitles, he uses the word “hawthorn” (山楂, shanzha) as a euphemism and homonym for “censorship” (审查, shencha). Ai Weiwei makes a cameo appearance. English subtitles have been added to this version on YouTube [Contains explicit language]:
