O artista chinês Zhao Bandi, 42, entrou com um processo contra a DreamWorks, a produtora do cineasta norte-americano Steven Spielberg, por considerar o filme "Kung Fu Panda" um insulto contra o panda, símbolo da China.

Zhao Bandi é conhecido por incluir imagens de ursos panda em sua obra e de desenhos de moda inspirados neste animal, e se define como um "defensor do panda".

"Levei a denúncia ao tribunal na quarta-feira", disse hoje [18.07.2008] Zhao, ofendido pelo fato de Hollywood ter "roubado" o símbolo nacional e as artes marciais chinesas.

O artista chinês disse que decidiu entrar com o processo porque o panda protagonista, Po, "tem os olhos verdes" e também "é filho de um pato", o que considera uma "distorção moral".

Spielberg ao passar por ele, dá-lhe uma porrada daquelas na cara, que faz melecar o nariz.

- Hei... Por que você fez isso? - pergunta o chinês.
- Vocês, japoneses, mataram o meu avô quando bombardearam Pearl Harbor!
- Mas eu não sou japonês! Sou chinês porra!
- Chineses, tailandeses, japoneses.... Para mim é tudo a mesma merda!

Spielberg vai se sentar, quando o chinês chega por trás dele e enfia-lhe um tapaço na orelha, daqueles de fazer o cara ficar tonto na cadeira...
- Então? Para que isso, seu filha da puta? - pergunta Spielberg.
- Imbecil, idiota, corno! Minha avó estava no Titanic, seu filha da puta!
- Mas não fui eu que afundei a merda do Titanic, porra! Foi o caralho de um iceberg!!!
- Iceberg, Gutenberg, Spielberg... Pra mim é tudo a mesma merda!

A piada é velha mas a ilustração (ilustração?!?) é nova! me deixem ser feliz poxa!

Chinese Practice

Quote:
Chinese Practice will not teach you Chinese, it's a program meant to accompany your study at a school. When you come home from class, create new lesson and write down new words and phrases. First practise the last lesson, then open couple of most recent lessons, from time to time open and practise all lessons. Use different modes – let the program display only chinese terms while you translate into your language or vice versa, or just hear the computer read the terms and repeat it. Highly recommended thing to do is to print out list of Chinese phrases, carry it with you and try to read it everytime you have a free minute.

6000 Chinese Characters With Japanese Pronunciation And Japanese And English Renderings

Since the purpose of the compilers of this dictionary has from the first been that of assisting fellow students, it will not be amiss to offer a few words of suggestion as to its use, having in mind especially the needs of those who are beginning the study of Chinese characters.
The book is meant to be suggestive rather than exhaustive, so its purpose will not have been achieved if many are not helped by it to pursue inquiries far beyond what is offered here. The six thousand odd characters given will be found, however, to cover quite thoroughly the ground traversed by most writers.

The Languages of East and Southeast Asia

Author: Cliff Goddard
Publisher: Oxford Univercity Press
Year: 2005
Pages: 332
Format: PDF
Size: 3.53 MB
ISBN: 0–19–924860–5

This book surveys the languages of East and Southeast Asia from the perspective of general descriptive linguistics, and explores the ways in which language, culture and history are intertwined. My goal is to provide an accessible resource for students and teachers of linguistics, language studies, and Asian Studies. I have tried to use plenty of concrete examples throughout, drawing on little-known minority languages as well as the major national languages of a dozen countries. To help linguistics students consolidate their knowledge and skills, there are exercises with solutions for each chapter. Though readers who are not studying linguistics may wish to skip lightly over sections of certain chapters, most of the book should make sense and be interesting reading for those with a minimal background in linguistics, and little or no personal knowledge of any East or Southeast Asian language.

Western Mandarin, or Spoken Languages Of Western China; 西蜀方言

Author: Adam Grainger
Publisher: American Presbyterian Mission Press, Shanghai
Year: 1900
Pages: 826
Format: DJVu
Size: 29.9 MB

Quote:
The name of the book, "The Spoken Language of Western China," indicates pretty clearly the scope of the work. It is difficult to draw a line between what is spoken and what is written only. Many phrases used by scholars have been rejected as too " bookish/' but, on the other hand, nothing has been regarded as too common for insertion. The work contains 3,786 characters, 112 duplicate characters, 191 words without characters, and 13,484 examples, including 401 proverbs. The examples have been taken in every case from the lips of the natives. No phrases of foreign origin religious or otherwise have been collected, as students can easily obtain such from other sources.

Mas volto com fuerza total aqui para falar do melhor chinês custo x benefício de Pinheiros. O China Massas Caseiras tem o melhor pastelzinho chinês do mundo! Mentira, do mundo não, mas de São Paulo com certeza é dos melhores, vive virando matéria nos guias da vida.

Eu sempre peço meia porção de queijo e meia porção de carne (bovina). Ele é frito, então os que tem medo de gordura devem passar longe. Muito gostoso, se pedir duas porções para três pessoas já dá uma refeição facinho. Como eu sou um pequeno ogro, quando vou com meus pais peço só uma e ainda completo com uma porção de arroz chop suey e uma porção de frango xadrez.

Geralmente sobra um monte de comida e a gente manda embrulhar. Incluindo suco (tem suco de tangerina!) e tudo o mais, dá uns R$ 30 para cada um. Mas isso se você comer até cair: pedindo meia porção de cada coisa e tal, deve dar no máximo R$ 25!

caixinha de prata da Túrquia, upload feito originalmente por Re Byte.

Tenho um amigo chamado Frank que é consul aqui no Rio.
Como qualquer diplomata, ele é super educado, um chinês, radicado na Inglaterra. Uma figura de pessoa. Pois ele tem aquela coisa zen do oriental mas ao mesmo tempo aquela coisa meio esnobe do povo inglês. Só que como ele é diplomata, ele não pode ser nem too much zen, nem too much snob!
Todas as vezes que saímos juntos a gente se diverte muito. Pois ele realmente está fazendo um esforço enorme para entender a cultura e os hábitos dos cariocas e tenho que dizer que ele já está totalmente a vontade com as mulheres, caipirinhas, praias e etc.
O Frank é tão nerd como eu. Tem um Iphone, adora gadgets, joga Xbox. Uma figura :-)
Na última viagem dele para Londres eu pedi como encomenda minha lente macro para a minha câmera. Não pedi mais nada pois sei que seria abuso. E assim que ele chegou eu logo paguei a lente.
Então na sexta-feira saímos para jantar e no meio do jantar ele me entregou esta caixinha aí de cima. É uma caixa de prata para se guardar remédios comprada em um antiquário na Turquia e o símbolo em cima dela quer dizer: Boa Fortuna...
Achei fofo quando ele me deu o presente ele falou como um bom chinês-inglês. Zen e esnobe!
Bom você sabe como é né? Uma pequena lembrança. Nada demais. A lente um dia quebra. A caixinha é para sempre
Achei um presente muito cute ;-)
Fiquei com os olhos cheios d´agua!

Não é que ele tem razão. A caixinha é mesmo para sempre ;-)
