Chinese crowd phobia

Barriers caused by institution still separate people into different parts which are diversifying increasing inequalities. The bigger gap between different people is the more eager the inferiors want to break the barriers and enjoy the equality rights.

"Crowd phobia" is a pathological state which shows the property of human groups. Sometimes, people would rather bear crowded situation than be abandoned and taste solo.

 

It is hard to bear the crowded subway during peak periods in some metropolitans such as Beijing and Shanghai, especially in summer. The unbearable heat makes people turn irritable which often causes quarrels and fights every day. Phobia to packing cities becomes an excuse for people to escape from cities, not many of them, however, leave actually. On the contrary, the tension of urban population is never eased.

 

Migration

Hundreds millions of people crash into crowded trains during Spring Festival travel season might be a typical image of China, but nowadays, this situation can be seen every single day in metropolitans. In addition, packing people also appear in hospitals, parks during holidays, squares in specific days, every recruitments and shows. You can see the crowed persons at anytime anywhere. However, not everyone who has crowd phobia can leave the entire packing situation and live a tranquil life. The characteristic of the urban disease is no one can avoid from it.

It can be defined that "crowd phobia" is an attached illness of unban disease. Why people eager to urban area? The answer is pretty clear: varies good resources; related fair situation; some prerequisites to fulfill self-worth and changes to seeking ideals, etc. Compared with those good sides, crowd phobia seems not so serious. "The greatest emergency for person is surviving," Chen Danqing said. But for those people who demand to a qualified life, crowd phobia is more and more repulsive.

Every Seventh Person

Every seventh person in the world is a Chinese farmer. Between 2002 and 2005 the filmmakers Elke Groen and Ina Ivanceaneau carried out numerous interviews in three Chinese villages documenting everyday life - without any censorship whatsoever. At the same time the inhabitants of the villages shot their own short films about their surroundings, their hopes and their dreams - short films that have become part of "Every Seventh Person". The result is an exceptional documentary film that provides insight into life in China away from the urban and industrial centres - a life between socialism and market economy in which the villages become the testing grounds for democracy and self-determination.

Top 10 nude models in China

Image
Nudity in art and nude modeling were introduced into China almost one century ago. When famed Chinese painter Liu Haisu became the first to initiate a figure drawing course at a Shanghai art school in 1917, he immediately triggered public uproar and widespread controversy in regards to nude modeling. Since then, China has become much more open to nude modeling, especially when we think back on the 1928 slashing of a nude model by her father for posing for internationally renowned Chinese photographer Lang Jingshan who took the country's first artistic nude shot . However, even though the Chinese have gotten more at ease with the idea of modeling in the nude since 1928, it still remains quite the controversial career path to take in China.
