CNN driver

Y. was the driver for my recent group of Finnish family last week. He was a safe and skillful driver. Knowing Hangzhou as well as his right palm, he liked to drive into small alleys in order to avoid heavy traffic. ( He had been a taxi driver for five years.) For cities like Shanghai and Suzhou, where he travelled not often, he managed to find locations only by reading maps. Besides he was a very kind and easy-going person too. What he impressed most was that he was too 'colorful' or ' yellow', which means 'dirty-minded' in China.

During breaks, he liked to share with me his past experiences of going to 'pink houses' and all stories with those whores. My smallest responses would promote him more. He mapped to me those facilities in Hangzhou, and all types of jobs and services, and relevant prices too. I was imagining if he knew how to write like other body writers, he would be a Weihui, with bestsellers, titled Hangzhou Husk.

He liked to research too. By going onto internet, he compared different sizes of private organs from various countries, for both women and men. He collected too. He showed me his favorite clips on his cell phone.

It's normal, as I thought at first. Talks between men always involve topics like this. What made me a little uncomfortable was that almost every time he completed one topic, he always blamed his friends for insisting on going to services . Calling himself a very traditional person, but his friend a very dirty man, he laughably claimed sex between strangers were too weird.

I don't know why I would like to relate my driver friend to CNN. Due to distorted reports and manipulated photos about riots in Tibet and no any correction intentions, in China, CNN has become a new but a negative buzz word, meaning 'shameful and irresponsible for one's words'. Like in sentence:
做人不能太CNN.
which means, a person should not be CNN.

You don't need to be Chinese literate to read contents on this web: www.anti-cnn.com .
