Fake tiger shows impact of public opinion in China
It all started with a farmer, a photo and a claim - a sighting of a rare tiger in the local woods, curled up and staring right at the camera. A man claimed a reward for snapping this digital photo - which proved to be faked - of a rare South China tiger.
Ultimately, the scandal revealed popular disgust with government and corruption and showed that public opinion, amplified by the Internet, can occasionally win out in authoritarian China.
"In my opinion, this is the struggle between the truth and government interest," Yu Hai, a sociology professor at Fudan University, said in a phone interview this week. "Zhou's just a normal farmer who was inspired by money. The big boss behind this is, of course, the officials of Shaanxi province."
First intrigued and then outraged by the photo, China's online community quickly exposed it as a paper tiger - an old poster propped up among the trees - and kept the pressure on officials, accusing them of supporting the fake to boost tourism in relatively poor Shaanxi.
The deep skepticism among Chinese toward the government, especially local officials, was also made clear over the weekend, when thousands rioted in the southwestern province of Guizhou over the accusation that police poorly investigated the death of a teenage girl.
Online outrage has kept up pressure on the government, which this week fired the local Communist Party secretary, county government head, police chief and another official.
A year ago, online anger also pushed the central government to investigate illegal labor practices after postings accused authorities of ignoring the use of child slaves in brick factories.
The tiger story began when Zhou, a 54-year-old farmer and hunter, heard that a person could win more than 1 million yuan (about US$146,000) for finding an endangered South China tiger in the wild, where it hadn't been seen in more than 20 years, according to state media accounts.
Last October, he emerged from the woods in Shaanxi with his claim of a tiger sighting.
Officials in Shaanxi embraced his claim, awarding him 20,000 yuan (about US$2,920) and praise at a press conference little more than a week later.
"After the careful examination, experts confirmed the authenticity of the photos. That means the tiger has been found again after more than 20 years," the China Daily newspaper quoted Shaanxi Forestry Administration Bureau Deputy Director Zhu Julong as saying.
The glow didn't last. China's online community almost immediately suspected a fake. The tiger was too shiny, they said. And no matter where it was snapped among the trees, its position never changed.
When someone came up with an old poster with a photo that looked strikingly like the tiger and posted it online, the public called for an official investigation.
But Shaanxi officials stuck to their story.
With a rare tiger in their area, the officials knew they could bring in a lot of money by boosting tourism and creating a nature reserve, said Yu, the university professor.
Finally, under increasing pressure, the Shaanxi officials confirmed the photos as a hoax this week. Zhou was arrested on charges of fraud, accused of propping up the poster in the woods and shooting it with a borrowed digital camera.
But the anger in China isn't so much about Zhou.
"A small number of officials ignored science, common sense and broiling public opinion to play with the public trust," the Southern Metropolitan Daily, a popular newspaper known for its aggressive reporting, said this week. "When the wisdom of the people stripped away the emperor's new clothes, the officials lied and used bureaucracy to keep the truth from coming out."
The newspaper even hinted that Zhou might have had some help from officials. Seven officials have been fired, including Zhu, the forestry official, and six others have been disciplined. It all started with a farmer, a photo and a claim - a sighting of a rare tiger in the local woods, curled up and staring right at the ... more -

Let me buy you another.' So he does, and we walk away best of friends." The dialogue goes as follows: ... more -

I've never been to Yorkshire
I've never been to Yorkshire. We have an lonesome aunt from there and yes she made the pudding.
When we'd go to her house north of London, years ago, she sometimes had a copper pot boiling and steaming and the whole place smelled like sweetened lard. It reminded me of the incense in the scary haunted church my friend Anthony Petronelli once took me to - all dark and sad.
I know I talk a lot on these long train rides, but the rocking and the rumbling shake my brain and old heavy thoughts rise up to the top of the ol' pond.
Our aunt was always worried about locking herself out of her house. She firmly believed in locking every door and window - this, remember, was a time when no one locked their doors. So, she wore her house key around her neck whenever she went out. Eventually she took to wearing that key inside the house, too, so she could run out to the backyard garden or go chase the neighbor's dog away. But, then, according to Fiona, she slept with the key (in case of emergency) and always had it on. Although most of the time the key would be hidden under her blouse, the strap, which she never changed, was leather and sweat and mixed with her own body sweat and the steam of her cooking - she made more than Yorkshire pudding.
I imagine she bathed with the strap and key on and probably gently soaped and brushed the strap.
Yet, when we hugged her goodbye, there was a more than human smell, a hyper above floating smell - like strong perfume but of people - no, not of people - of work. You could smell effort or struggle or patience. As a child it perplexed me because I could not place exactly what it was, as I'd walk out down the steps of her porch to the street to walk away holding my father's thick short hands wondering what swirling living progression rose from my aunt's locked chest.

Atardecer, la historia de una máscara
The idea: "Among two Souths"
"I was born among two Souths. The Italy’s one, Naples, and the world’s one, Africa. So, I was born among two colours, among mind and heart, more than all… I come from that border line and since that time I lived walking on an imaginary rope. Then I started to love this ever unstable life, with feet on the ground and a lost head looking the stars. And I made a dream. Yes, just in that fascinating time when sun and moon say “High five, buddy!” In that instant, right for born in the middle people, exactly in that moment, I dreamed that, maybe, we are lot walking on that rope, more than I can hope..."
La historia (English):
“Atardecer” was born, thanks to the imagination of Alessandro Ghebreigziabiher in 1998, in Italy, and it starts a travel as a theatre monologue, directed by Marino Galdiero.
In 2002 the monologue was transformed in a novel and Lapis Editions, of Rome, made it an illustrated children book.
In the International Book Fair of Bologna the book was mentioned with the White Ravens 2003 by the Internationale Jugend Bibliotheke of Munchen, together with Unesco, as one of the best Italian books in 2002.
In 2003 the novel was special mentioned in the International Prize Words without frontiers.
In 2004, July, the author performed his novel during the Literature Festival Evocamondi, El-Ghibli, Bologna.
In February 2008, Ghebreigziabiher will perform his novel together with a new pièce, “Cyranando”, a monologue inspired by Edmond Rostand’s “Cyrano de Bergerac”. (Takings will be donated to “Casa dei diritti sociali”, Italian association for human rights).
