				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chinese authorities&#8217; attitude toward <a href="http://chinadigitaltimes.net/china/video-games/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with video games">video games</a> has been mixed, with <a href="http://chinadigitaltimes.net/2011/06/chinas-online-gaming-operators-heavily-subsidised/">large industry subsidies on one hand</a> and <a href="https://chinadigitaltimes.net/2010/07/chinas-first-law-on-online-games-to-take-effect/">wariness of moral corrosion on the other</a>. At the same time, The Telegraph&#8217;s Malcolm Moore reports, <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/china/9814114/China-embraces-online-gamers.html"><strong>the Party has also sought to harness games as propaganda tools</strong></a>, allowing players to learn from <a href="http://chinadigitaltimes.net/china/lei-feng/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Lei Feng">Lei Feng</a>, battle <a href="http://chinadigitaltimes.net/china/corrupt-officials/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with corrupt officials">corrupt officials</a>, or <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/china/9814114/China-embraces-online-gamers.html">liberate the Diaoyu Islands</a>.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Liu Yang, a Shanghai-based game developer said the games with the most <a href="http://chinadigitaltimes.net/china/propaganda/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with propaganda">propaganda</a> embedded in them had been the least successful. &#8220;The problem is that the <a href="http://chinadigitaltimes.net/china/propaganda/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with propaganda">propaganda</a> related themes are not intrinsically popular with players and tends to push them away.</p>
<p>&#8220;The public today have their own judgment and criteria, and most of them do not like this sort of propaganda stuff,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Prof Nie found that the Chinese players in Resistance War Online often spent more time squabbling with each other than fighting the <a href="http://chinadigitaltimes.net/china/japanese/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Japanese">Japanese</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;The players are easily distracted from the patriotic nature of the game and have, instead, turned the games into feuds among the Chinese resistance forces. Ironically, the internal feuds are actually closer to the historical reality than the notion of a perfectly united resistance against the Japanese&#8221;.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Propaganda <a href="http://chinadigitaltimes.net/china/gaming/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with gaming">gaming</a> is not a Chinese invention. Since 2002, <a href="http://www.americasarmy.com">the U.S. has produced <em>America&#8217;s Army</em>, a hugely successful game-slash-recruitment tool</a> which has also spawned a series of comic books. <a href="http://seattletimes.com/html/localnews/2002111412_wargames07e.html">The game has come under fire from critics including veterans&#8217; organizations</a> who accuse it of exploiting impressionable teenagers.</p>

I wish you good fortune in the Year of the Pig!</p>

<p>2、网上讨论要充分反映实现两岸和平统一、促进中华民族伟大复兴，是包括台湾同胞在内的海内外中华儿女的共同心声。要深入揭露陈水扁恶意挑衅台海和 平、制造两岸关系紧张的”台独”本质，指出陈水扁执意推行”台独”路线，在台湾内部和两岸之间全面挑起对抗冲突，只能为台湾社会带来灾难。</p>
<p>3、对我党和国家领导人重要表态要加强解读，充分深入宣传好中央的方针政策。</p>
<p>4、对外国政府和海外人士对我有利的表态要及时转发。</p>
<p>5、对网民”武力统一”、”出兵”等言论要认真把握，不过于集中，此类贴文在论坛和跟帖主页面不多于两条。</p>
<p>6、对借机攻击指责党和政府、攻击中央对台方针政策和统一部署的文章、帖文,坚决封堵和删除借机煽动闹事、破坏社会稳定的言论，不得在网上鼓动签名、串联和鼓动非法活动。</p>
<p>7、严格执行转载范围的要求，不得自采，相关嘉宾访谈必须经批准。<br />

<p>Monday marked the official observance of Learn From <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lei_Feng">Lei Feng</a> Day in China, a holiday initiated by <a href="http://chinadigitaltimes.net/china/mao-zedong/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Mao Zedong">Mao Zedong</a> in 1962 which turned a dead young soldier into a folk hero, and the central government has revved up the <a href="http://chinadigitaltimes.net/china/propaganda/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with propaganda">propaganda</a> machine to <strong><a href="http://blogs.wsj.com/chinarealtime/2012/03/05/can-you-feel-the-love-for-lei-feng/">commemorate the 50th anniversary of the death of &#8220;China&#8217;s most famous Communist do-gooder.&#8221;</a></strong> From The Wall Street Journal:</p>
<blockquote><p>Best known for helping little old ladies cross the street and offering to darn his fellow soldiers’ socks, the life of onetime People’s Liberation Army soldier <a href="http://chinadigitaltimes.net/china/lei-feng/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Lei Feng">Lei Feng</a> is one of the Communist Party’s oldest set pieces. With the 1963 publication of his diary (in which enthusiastic paeans to Mao and the Communist Party feature prominently), he became a posthumous propaganda sensation, with the Party urging citizens to “learn from Comrade <a href="http://chinadigitaltimes.net/china/lei-feng/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Lei Feng">Lei Feng</a>.” Now, as China confronts the excesses of its economic system — including growing concern over public corruption and fears about diminished public morality — the government is working harder than ever to make <a href="http://chinadigitaltimes.net/china/lei-feng/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Lei Feng">Lei Feng</a> in vogue.</p>
<p>Efforts to resurrect Lei Feng’s ghost are everywhere: Last week, the <a href="http://chinadigitaltimes.net/china/education/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with education">education</a> ministry released a bulletin urging schools to host activities promoting the soldier. That inspired one group of 1,000 college students to dress up in vintage military garb and stand outside Shanghai metro stations and extol his virtues. Some preached the importance of good manners inside the metro cars; others offered hugs to strangers. Thousands of students Monday across the country likewise participated in “Lei Feng is in my heart” campaigns, drawing pictures, penning essays and singing songs.</p>
<p>A state-run Xinhua news agency article published last week declared that contemporary China is like a symphony – a single “harmonious society” – and that Lei Feng is akin to its “first violin.”</p></blockquote>
<p>CCTV&#8217;s news web site created a <a href="http://english.cntv.cn/special/chinastrength/leifeng/index.shtml">special page devoted to the spirit of Lei Feng</a>, and a Xinhua News <strong><a href="http://english.peopledaily.com.cn/90785/7744479.html">called Lei Feng &#8220;China&#8217;s icon of altruism&#8221;</a>&#8216;</strong> in a celebratory profile last week:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Where do we come from? What are we? Where are we going?&#8221;</p>
<p>These questions, raised by french Post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin (1848-1903), are widely considered to represent the human race&#8217;s deepest meditations on the meaning of life.</p>
<p>According to the article, elite members of the human race, including Russian writer Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910), German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860), the ancient Chinese poets Qu Yuan and Chen Zi&#8217;ang, who both wrote more than 1,000 years ago, asked similar questions, but never found the answer.</p>
<p>&#8220;Lei Feng, an ordinary soldier, has given a perfect answer,&#8221; the lengthy article maintained.</p></blockquote>
<p>The Wall Street Journal article adds that Internet users have expressed their cynicism at the CCP&#8217;s immortalization of Lei Feng, however, and The New York Times reports that China&#8217;s <a href="http://chinadigitaltimes.net/china/netizens/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with netizens">netizens</a> have <strong><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/06/world/asia/lei-feng-day-draws-chinese-cynicism.html?_r=2">responded to state media coverage of Lei Feng with snickers</a></strong>:</p>
<blockquote><p>One posting on Sina <a href="http://chinadigitaltimes.net/china/weibo/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with weibo">Weibo</a>, the country’s popular microblog service, seemed to sum up the sentiment that it is party officials, not ordinary citizens, who should be studying Lei Feng’s selflessness. “Your children have migrated overseas but you ask me to learn from Lei Feng in China,” said the posting by the sharp-tongued blogger who goes by the name Notebook and has two million followers. “I have cancer because of the poisonous milk I drank but you ask me to learn from Lei Feng.” The post was deleted by censors on Friday.</p>
<p>Even Ren Zhiqiang, one of China’s wealthiest property developers, could not help himself. Apparently invoking a line from Lei Feng’s official diary that schoolchildren once memorized, “My only ambition is to be a rustless screw for the great cause of revolution,” Mr. Ren called the legend a naked propaganda tool “for turning all citizens into screws that can be willfully placed anywhere.”</p>
<p>“That way, there is no need for democracy, human rights or freedom,” he wrote.</p>
<p>Dai Qing, a muckraking journalist and lapsed Communist Party member, said that many Chinese were offended by the patronizing message of moral righteousness. “Would I help a senior citizen or a child in need?” she said in an interview. “Of course I would, but not because I was told to do so by a government movement. Empathy is a minimal requirement of human decency, not one that should be directed by a political party.”</p></blockquote>
<p>The editor of the state-run <a href="http://chinadigitaltimes.net/china/global-times/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Global Times">Global Times</a> <strong><a href="http://www.danwei.com/lei-feng-in-the-age-of-the-microblog/">applauded the satirical spoofs</a></strong> that have appeared online, writes Danwei, which has a long tradition of reporting on Lei Feng and translated the following comment posted by <a href="http://chinadigitaltimes.net/china/hu-xijin/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Hu xijin">Hu Xijin</a> to his Weibo account along with the <a href="http://www.danwei.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/7697cf01jw1dqn2q4tod1j.jpeg">spoof photo</a> above:</p>
<blockquote><p>The louder the volume of the government campaign to study Lei Feng, the more such spoofs will be enthusiastically circulated online. This is the sigh-inducing balance of contemporary China’s public debate. When I see such Photoshop images, my heart just feels uncomfortable. But I know that the fact that such photographs appear is a sign of China’s progress. Making everything appear ugly is not just a way of thinking but has become a way of existing. Its importance to China is like that of the waste water pipes and sewers that even a city of light cannot do without.</p></blockquote>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In an interview with The New York Review of Books, <a href="http://www.nybooks.com/blogs/nyrblog/2012/mar/02/learning-how-argue-interview-ran-yunfei/"><strong>blogger and classicist Ran Yunfei discusses a broad range of issues</strong></a>: the unruliness of his native <a href="http://chinadigitaltimes.net/china/sichuan/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Sichuan">Sichuan</a>, his <a href="http://chinadigitaltimes.net/china/detention/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with detention">detention</a> last year, self-immolation, <a href="http://chinadigitaltimes.net/china/religion/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with religion">religion</a>, <a href="http://chinadigitaltimes.net/china/education/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with education">education</a>, the Party&#8217;s manipulation of history from <a href="http://chinadigitaltimes.net/china/lei-feng/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Lei Feng">Lei Feng</a> to the Nanjing Massacre and how <a href="http://chinadigitaltimes.net/china/ai-weiwei/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Ai Weiwei">Ai Weiwei</a> goes too far.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>I saw a statistic somewhere that apart from <a href="http://chinadigitaltimes.net/china/beijing/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Beijing">Beijing</a>, Sichuan has more political dissidents than any region in China. Sichuan doesn’t have the largest population of a Chinese province and it’s not the poorest; nor is it, like <a href="http://chinadigitaltimes.net/china/guangdong/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Guangdong">Guangdong</a>, near Hong Kong and the freer media there. So why is there so much going on here?</strong></p>
<p>It’s a lot of things. There is this teahouse culture here—you have these places where you can meet publicly. Not a lot of Chinese cities have these. Everywhere there are tea houses and people meet and talk. There are signs not to talk about national affairs but everyone does.</p>
<p>And then there’s the paoge culture (the mafia-type associations that used to regulate daily life rather than official laws and rules). People are accustomed to thinking independently of the government. Also, we’re just far away from Beijing, separated by rivers and mountains. Even the guobao [<a href="http://chinadigitaltimes.net/space/National_treasure">State Security police</a>] are different. They sometimes say, “I’m just doing this to have my rice to eat.”</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Below is the latest entry in the series of political cartoons produced by Crazy Crab of <a href="http://hexiefarm.wordpress.com/">Hexie Farm</a> for CDT. The cartoon, which is untitled, is partly inspired by news that the <a href="http://english.peopledaily.com.cn/90882/7738199.html">government will release the Complete Works of Lei Feng</a>, the revolutionary soldier held up as a model of altruism and selflessness. August will mark the 50th anniversary of the death of<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lei_Feng"> Lei Feng</a>, and authorities in China continue to use his image and story in <a href="http://chinadigitaltimes.net/china/education/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with education">education</a> and <a href="http://chinadigitaltimes.net/china/propaganda/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with propaganda">propaganda</a> campaigns. </p>
<p>Update: <a href="http://chinadigitaltimes.net/china/lei-feng/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Lei Feng">Lei Feng</a> once said: &#8220;I’ll be a bolt in whatever part of the machinery of state the Party wants to screw me.&#8221; (Thanks to reader Roy Forward for the translation, which was published in In the Red: On Contemporary Chinese Culture by Geremie R.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/asia/article3412469.ece">According to The Times</a>, <a href="http://chinadigitaltimes.net/china/lei-feng/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Lei Feng">Lei Feng</a> and his fellow national <a href="http://chinadigitaltimes.net/china/heroes/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with heroes">heroes</a> are set to officially become less revolutionary &#8220;martyrs&#8221;:</p>
<blockquote><p>About 340,000 families across the country currently take pride in a relative who has been awarded the title of “Revolutionary Martyr”. That custom is set to change with the intent of better reflecting the new face of China.</p>
<p>A draft of the new rules, with the word “Revolutionary” removed, has been published for public comment for a week &#8211; a move that signals that the change is a foregone conclusion.</p>
<p>Under the new system those put forward for the title of “Martyr” will no longer have to be socialists, and anyone who has died as a publicly accepted hero could qualify for martyrdom. Currently a martyr is someone “killed by his enemy when carrying out revolutionary tasks”. </p></blockquote>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From Reuters via the New York Times:</p>
<blockquote><p>A patriotic Internet game featuring heroic Chinese and designed to wean the young off their addiction to violent foreign games is still not ready for release a year after development begun, state media said on Tuesday. Unlike the more popular games, where players have to slay dragons, fight aliens or beat up bad guys, in &#8220;Chinese <a href="http://chinadigitaltimes.net/china/heroes/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with heroes">Heroes</a>&#8221; players &#8220;click on statues to learn about their experiences and carry out tasks like moving bricks,&#8221; Xinhua news agency said.</p>
<p>&#8220;We hope the game will teach players about Chinese ethics,&#8221; it quoted Kou Xiaowei, an official with China&#8217;s <a href="http://www.chinaculture.org/gb/en_artists/2003-09/24/content_26984.htm" target="_blank">General Administration of Press and Publication</a>, which is organizing the game&#8217;s development, as saying.</p>
<p>But the official news agency expressed doubt the new game would even appeal to China&#8217;s youth of today. <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/reuters/technology/tech-china-internet-heroes.html?_r=1&#038;oref=slogin" target="_blank">[Full Text]</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Also read, with a grain of salt, Shanghai Daily&#8217;s <a href="http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/english/doc/2006-03/15/content_539633.htm" target="_blank">Lei Feng becomes online game hero</a>, in which players strive to obtain the Chairman&#8217;s autograph by &#8220;doing good deeds.&#8221; And Shenda&#8217;s <a href="http://games.sina.com.cn/y/n/2006-01-12/1108139628.shtml" target="_blank">press release</a> about the patriotic game (Chinese, by sina.com)</p>

<p>
Shanghai Daily via the China Daily website (<a href="http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/english/doc/2006-03/15/content_539633.htm">link</a>):
</p>
<blockquote><p>
<em><a href="http://www.iisg.nl/~landsberger/lf.html">Lei Feng</a></em><em> is no longer a hero only in real life. He is also the hero of an online video game. To do good deeds, as many as you can, is the trick for passing each level in the online game starring <a href="http://chinadigitaltimes.net/china/lei-feng/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Lei Feng">Lei Feng</a>, the Nanfang City Daily said.</p>
<p>The game, so-called &#8220;Learn from Lei Feng,&#8221; has become very popular among many </em><em><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guangzhou">Guangzhou</a></em><em> students as of recent. Hard work, a plain life and willingness to help others are the game&#8217;s themes, which is very different from most other <a href="http://chinadigitaltimes.net/china/online-games/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with online games">online games</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;For beginners, sewing and mending socks is the only way to increase experience and to upgrade,&#8221; said Jiao Jian, a six-grade pupil in Yuexiu District, quoted by the newspaper&#8230;He added that many of his classmates also loved playing the game, because it is different from the online games they normally played. While playing they learn many things about Lei Feng firsthand.<br />
