Anyone speak Chinese?

Monday Mar 13 2006

My site is currently being slammed with hits from this Taiwanese forum. They're all linking to this topic. It must be a pretty big forum because the hits are pounding in! If there's anyone reading this who speaks Chinese I'd love to know what's going on! ;-)

My Chinese college tells me this is about an 18 year old girl who asks a 100 year old to mary him.

Correction:
It seems that this language is even a little dificult for a chinese guy living in the netherlands.

The forum post (美少女難民上百荷蘭人求婚) is about a chinese girl, who has been asked to mary by a 100 dutch men…

According to my little translator widget, the little bit of Chinese characters besides the link to your site translates as:

“Refers to her”

Apparently a lot of men have proposed to her, so she could stay in The Netherlands and finish her study.

A lot of men have proposed indeed… but that’s not gonna allow her to stay. Also I seriously doubt it she’d ever accept such a proposal

People there just talked about “how pretty is she”, “who she looks like”... kind of gossip.

It’s “An example of why Taiwan suck”.

Hi, I’m from Taiwan.

In that forum about the link, there’s nothing about any old Chinese and his young wife.

Maybe that impression comes from the real story about the Chinese winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics(1957), Dr. Yang, who’s 82 and married a 28. I really don’t know.

What happened is because the news title about Miss Taida’s difficulty in Taiwan’s news media is something like:

“Kosovo Refugee Beauty Proposed By More Than One Hunderd Netherlands”

So people try to know who is Miss Taida.
Then someone digged out the truth from this cool blog, curious people flooded in…

Anyway I think the other Mr. Wu’s opinion is too serious and little bias since the topic of that part in the forum PCDVD is precisely for easy chatting.

Surely there are also abundant information and knowledge that people can find from PCDVD, that’s why so many people like and stay there.

Thanks for Marco’s nice blog and good luck to Miss Taida.

Yeah, SS. Wu. you got that right.
People in PCDVD forum are so interested in the “face” of Miss Taida. That is why one of the resourceful people find her photo on this site and link it back to PCDVD forum.

Now, people in PCDVD forum have the truth of Miss Taida.

Haha!

The truth is, my blog

and my FULL NAME have been posted on PCDVD forum, and some people even hate me because of my “country slandering” post.

To the other Mr. Wu, I just borrowed the article title from Marco. Maybe you are the one who’s too serious… and bias.

Got something to add to this?
