Five teens who went viral by accident took an online jeer and made it their own brand

 

 

 

“People abused us on the internet, saying how terribly ugly we are,” Abby said. “At first I felt angry. We did nothing wrong.”
The online buzz brought the media to the girls’ hometown, and suddenly, everyone seemed to be falling over themselves to catch a glimpse of them. Schoolmates gathered outside their classroom to gawk and those from other schools congregated at their school gate to wait for them, Cheryl said.
“Even when we went to the toilet, people would follow us,” she said.
. . .
Their popularity grew rapidly. At one point, one of their live-streamed videos drew 700,000 real-time viewers and fetched five million likes – putting them on a par with top Chinese film stars, according to QQ.com, where the clip was aired.

Residents of Chikan evicted for tourism

Quote

It's a beautiful, historic old Chinese town - and now the residents of Chikan are being evicted to make way for tourists. Full story: http://sc.mp/pUO4Bg

 

the SCMP article said:
According to the city government’s plan, Chikan old town will be turned into a historical theme park, like Wuzhen in Zhejiang province, with hotels, cafes, bars and shops. The Wuzhen project’s chief designer, Chen Xianghong, has been given the same role for the Chikan old town redevelopment.

No residents will be allowed to remain.

. . .

Geng Yanbo, the mayor of Datong, in Shanxi, flattened its whole old town in 2008 and relocated millions of people to make way for a brand new “ancient city” with a city wall supported by a steel framework. That effort earned him the nickname “Geng Smash Smash”.

30,000 fireworks over Hong Kong's Victoria Harbour for China's National Day http://sc.mp/01CiJc

 

City residents line both sides of Victoria Harbour for HK$13 million spectacular

Quote
A total of 31,888 pyrotechnic shells from four barges were fired into the sky during the HK$13 million display, fewer than the 39,888 launched on July 1 – for the 20th anniversary of the city’s return to Chinese rule – but HK$1 million more expensive.
 
The last show with such a big budget was for the handover in 1997.
