No Air Purifier Allowed in Classrooms

From the beginning of the winter, Haze has become to a nightmare of half China people. Unfortunately, China government is not only the principal of the poisonous hazy, but also trying to washwhite the public consensus by hiding the real PM2.5 AQI(Air Quality Index). In the government official PM2.5 AQI, the maximal number is 500, if the situation is higher than this one(eg. 1000), you have no idea what is the exact AQI.

Sadly, all of these are not the worst part. The crazy government is trying to convince the world that everything in China is fine and people's life is not affected by the hazy at all. To achieve this, several ridiculous rules are released: In Chengdu Province, local government doesn't allow people to wear the mask, especially to gather together on the street. In Beijing, the Capital city, no air purifier allowed to be installed in classrooms. The government believe the world will buy this trick if the students don't need to put the masks on their faces and don't need air purifier in classrooms.

Chinese people normally has no gut do fight with the government, becuase this kind of action will disappear you very soon. And years' brainwash education has taught the people to accept any unfair treatments from the government. But this time, some people are not happy to accept the government's shit because the victims are not themselves but their children. The last precious things left in Chinese people's life are thire next generation although the government does not care.




No air purifier allowed in classrooms has been a trigger to make some parents speak loudly: "Do you government officials wear the masks?"; "Do you have air purifies in your home?"; "Do you know that AQI has been more than 300 means the environment is not for human survival?"; "China Education Department is controlled by a bunch of illiterate."; "With more than 500 AQI, you ask children to go to school without masks and purifiers, you don't care with children's life and basic human rights!"; "It is not the problem of China's education system, the real problem is this country's education managers!"



Of course you have to understand why the government officials are willing to cover the bad news and pretend everything is fine. They don't want to fix the air pollution problem and they don't have to, because all the government official's children and families have special treatments already: living in other western countries or stay in special schools with air purifier for government officers and retired officers. Why bother to clean the environment with a huge amount of money which can be taken by themselves. And the quickest way to earn the money in this country is by ruining the environment. When everything goes down, they can start a fresh new life out of this useless land.

Not Allowed to Show Films to The Public for Free

According to Southern Morning Post, Yanzhong Luo is not allowed to serve the public anymore. In 2007, Yanzhong Luo bought a second-hand film projector, began to show films to nearby villagers for free. Yes, he asks nothing from his audience, and keeps doing this for 10 years, although Luo himself is not a millionaire.

Not like the city life you know in some big cities in China, there are tons of villages in this country are destitute. Most villagers normally can not afford movies in theaters. In fact, there are a large number of poverty people whose income is less than 2300RMB (about 330 US dollars)  per person per year.

Yanzhong Luo's action give the nearby villagers an opportunity to enjoy films as an entertainment activity. In spite of the praise and support from villagers, Luo has to stop showing movies to the public at the end of 2016 because the local government order him to move away from the "business". The governors throw a simple reason on his face: you have no business licence eligibility. "But I do not do this for money, I want to give the culture and entertainment to villagers in this way." says Luo.

Anyway, it looks like Luo has to obey the order for away from the trouble. Some Chinese people on the Internet leave their opinions like: "Does the Party ask you to show films? you want to show the advantage of Socialism and disadvantage of Capitalism or vise versa?"; "You do not want to collect the money but they want."; "Of course you have to be stopped. What if you show something they don't like people to know."; "Put films for free, why need a license?".

For me, I believe there may be some copyrights issues for Luo's activity. But most films showed by Luo should be all right and pretty outdated. However, obviously, the government is not worrying about the copyrights. What they care is the benefit and the culture control. That projector has the ability to show something to wise people, although the possibility is so dim.

What is your attitude to this event?
