Chinese Lives

A real-life version of the nightclub claque depicted in German writer Heinrich Boll’s short story “The Laugher” has been found in a Chinese street, trying to earn a living by laughing.

Chinese athletes often impress the world with their almost perfect sports technic and iron strong competing spirit. However, they seem a little too shy, reserved and lack of expressions so much so that many foreign media refer them as sports machine, which is really out of misunderstanding.

At the 16th FINA Diving World Cup running from 19th to 25th in Feburary, Chinese medalers impress us with their friendly smile and confidence, as well as intrigue the world to find out what their finger gun pose mean.

Some assume the finger gun pose resembling their sportswear sponsor LiNing’s Logo, so this could be sort of adverts for the company. But others disagree by pointing out that this gesture resembles more Nike’s Logo.

Well, is it possibly a joke about LiNing beating Nike up with a finger gun? Pardon me for my dark crazy imagination. lol
