I know that two posts in one day. Don't have a heart attack. It may seem little excessive, but things happen when they happen…
There have been some unusually disturbing images circulating on Weixin (WeChat) recently. There are always images (particularly when you have a lot of T friends) of slaughtered animals and pollution and the like. They're gross, but I'm almost desensitized to it all at this point. Or I thought I was. Then these images came up (and I am told that they are not doctored): they are of people in Guangdong eating babies. I kid you not. I wish I was joking. Human babies. Eaten by people in Guangdong. Literally. I won't post them. I don't ever think I'll be able to burn the image out of my mind. It's horrifying. If you are a glutton for punishment, you can look them up yourself, but I won't help you. It was suggested to me that this may have been common practice in the villages long ago, but that now it's a nouveau riche thing. I weep for humanity.

About TimAs you can see elsewhere on this webpage, I conduct research on ethnic minorities in western China. This blog offers semi-academic musings on the minutiae of daily life out here--the sort of information otherwise destined for footnotes. Categories |
