You'd be surprised how many ways there are to spell 'Suzuki', using only the letters 'S', 'U', 'Z', 'K', and 'I' in any order. Almost all begin with 'S' and end with 'I'.

. . . and there's this from the Global Times

"We couldn't think of any other things that would attract attention," a manager surnamed Li who works in a supermarket at Foshan - which has a duck next to it - told the Global Times, adding that they just wanted to create the right atmosphere before Children's Day.

"The rubber duck is a yellow catalyst. Right now what it is showing is that there is a lack of trust in China, and that is an enormous problem," Hofman said, adding that he might take legal action.

A spokesperson from AllRightsReserved, the somewhat ironically named company that invited the duck to come to Hong Kong, said that those copying the duck didn't understand its meaning. "We think all these counterfeit ducks came about mostly because of a lack of understanding of this artwork and the creative intentions behind it," the spokesperson said, adding that the artwork was based on innocence and optimism.

Although Hofman said he was not amused by China's giant ducks, the two-storey high rubber duck in Wuhan, which is much smaller than the original, still attracted many visitors.

"Copying has become a habit and people become lazy because they can rely on other's work that has proven successful. They gradually lose their creativity, with more people unconsciously accepting copied things," said Zhang Yiwu, a culture expert with Peking University.

Huang Rui, a pioneer of China's modern art scene, said the appreciation for such a simple duck reflected shallow tastes. "Many young people, attracted by such a simple piece, can not appreciate complicated art like opera, paintings or literature, due to a severe shortage of art education," Huang told the Global Times. "The worst thing is we don't even have artists creating designs to meet these simple needs. Instead, we only have profit-seeking businessmen good at following successful models," he said.
