A private hospital in Nanjing
put out a promotional post next to the
entrance yesterday. On the post it
declares that any patient who is a
lookalike to a doctor serving in the
hospital or an entertainment star will be
eligible for 30 to 90 per cent of
discount on his or her medical bills.
Maybe it’s an
opportunity for plastic surgeons to open
their new clinics next to the hospital.

Confucian?
Too Confusion!
September 10 is Teacher’s
Day in mainland China, while Hong Kong,
Taiwan and UN-sponsored programs make
September 28, the birthday of Confucian,
the Teacher’s Day. When some experts
suggested that mainland China should
follow suit, a spokesperson for China’s
Education Department responded by saying
it is too difficult to change because the
current arrangement has been in existence
for more than 20 years and people grow
used to it (wonder what happens to Chinese
New Year’s Day,
it changes every year).
Late last month a
spokeswoman for the department publicly
declaimed that family-run school (sishu 私塾)
should be banded because in which
students won’t be able to learn
patriotism.
Sishu is said to be
started by Confucian and had been the
dominant educational system until early
last century when the public school
system were introduced into China form
the West.
It must be a miracle that
China held together over the
millennia in face of constant external
threats while Chinese were utterly
ignorant of patriotism.
