Good Lord...my wife just showed me this article in Chinese and says that people are now eating babies in Guangzhou. Can some of you guys that read Chinese take a look and figure out if this is real or a big hoax? Thanks! Damn. Just damn.

i very much doubt it is real. i first saw these photos about 3 or 4 years ago. i think that they were a publicity stunt by an artist or something, and every so often someone sticks them on a bbs again. i am sure someone can look it up on the net.

i haven't bothered to read the chinese properly though, just appears to be some bs about a reporter uncovering it.

Yeah, I am pretty sure that I remember these were pictures done by a Taiwanese artist... pretty "wacky" stuff

It takes 5 minutes to do an online search and come up with this:

It was mainland Chinese performer Zhu Yu pretending to eat a fetus in his performance piece "Obsession with Suffering."

"Zhu Yu, who hails from Sichuan province, revealed to friends that he staged the "Obsession with Suffering" performance in an effort to gain the chance to perform abroad. However, his performance failed to elicit the desired response, and the performance ended after less than three hours."

Yes there was a rumor it was from Taiwan but that was from internet e-mails and unfounded from reality.

I wonder, what was his desired response?

@canrun: this might interest you - from eswn

http://www.zonaeuropa.com/200704.brief.htm#037

about eating aborted kids.

i still have trouble believing it though. there was apparently some cannibalism in guangxi during the cultural revolution where black elements were killed and then eaten, but this is of a different order entirely.

 Its total bullshit, probably got funded and publicized by some ass who wants to make some money or by the Americans.

If the crazy story of Child labor is true, why this one not?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/6752507.stm 

Sometimes things are too terrible to believe, but  does not mean it's not true.

In a country like current China in where people care nothing except money, whatever can not happen?

If consider of the news censorship,  it's just a ice burg of huge  amount of terrible things that you even do not have opportunity  to know.
