House of Screams: Inside China’s Hidden Horror Trade
At the edge of an industrial park in the city of Ningbo lies Du Xifan’s house of horrors: A dimly lit warehouse filled with zombies, orcs, mutilated dolls — and hundreds of other ghoulish objects.
Du — also known as “Mr. Mask” — is making a killing in a little-known, but fast-growing market in China: horror. His company offers a huge range of grisly props and costumes, which are seeing booming demand thanks to young consumers’ growing love for spooky escape rooms and murder mystery games.

'I'm finna go sleep': TikToker teaches native Chinese speakers English hacks to sound more American

from Yahoo News

I think 'finna' is his Chinglish for "fixing to".

Quote

 

  • The latest video to go viral, in which Mr. Yang teaches the phrase “I’m about to go to sleep” in an American accent, was uploaded on Nov. 10 and already has over two million views. Mr. Yang teaches the phrase “I’m about to go to sleep” in the way Americans would supposedly say it.

  • “Firstly, cool people in America like to say ‘finna’ instead of ‘about to,’” he says in Chinese. He also tells his student to say the expression pronounced as “shiet bro” before reading the phrase.

Mr. Yang’s TikTok also includes other viral series such as his translation of Chinese songs into English and vice versa and an evolution of how English phrases or questions have changed throughout the years.

Most of us will appreciate this.

Crabs ARE pretty clingy - we used to fish for crabs simply by tying a piece of meat onto a string. They would bite the meat, and hang on as we pulled them out of the water.

Mission Crabpossible

Mission Crabpossible: A man in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province deployed a hairy crab on some string to rescue some clothes that had fallen downstairs.

平潭映象
這是
楊麗萍導演的大型舞蹈劇
平潭映象
表達出福建特有的文化元素
媽祖 城隍爺 龍王 三太子
今年在泉州大劇院首演
就獲得巨大的成就
楊麗萍是雲南白族原住民
曾經是台灣媳婦
因不生育與台灣先生離婚後
開始編導現代中華文化的舞蹈劇
有趣的是她的台灣先生雖已離婚
但卻從未離開她
尤其楊麗萍的舞蹈劇事業初期缺錢
這位不再結婚的台灣先生大力資助
終於成就了神話式的舞蹈劇事業
楊麗萍的舞蹈劇
已經大幅超越了林懷民和張藝謀
這位從未受過正式教育的舞者
不只創造了孔雀舞蹈神話
編導出神話式的舞蹈劇
更開創出前所未有的舞蹈劇事業
她的人生足跡本身就是神話

This is
Large-scale dance drama directed by Yang Liping
Pingtan image
Express the unique cultural elements of Fujian
Mazu City God Lord Dragon King Third Prince
Premiered at Quanzhou Grand Theater this year
Great achievement
Yang Liping is an aboriginal of the Bai nationality in Yunnan
Used to be a Taiwanese wife
After divorcing Mr. Taiwan due to infertility
Began to direct the dance drama of modern Chinese culture
The interesting thing is that although her Taiwanese husband is divorced
But never left her
Especially Yang Liping was short of money in the early stage of her dance drama career
This Taiwanese man, who is no longer married, strongly supported
Finally achieved a mythical dance drama career
Yang Liping's dance drama
Has greatly surpassed Lin Huaimin and Zhang Yimou
This dancer who has never received formal education
Not only created the myth of peacock dance
Compose a mythical dance drama
Create an unprecedented dance drama business
The footprint of her life is a myth in itself
