 Topic1 Forbidden City management problemsRecent rumors 1 that the Imperial Palace in central Beijing caught fire have been dismissed.


The white smoke upon the royal relic 2 shown in photos circulated online turned out to be a fire that started meters away from the cultural heritage, where a wanderer put his garbage.
Good news is it was not the Imperial Palace that caught fire. But should we just put the false alarm behind us now?
Should we just relax?
Topic2 Bullet trains sell naming rights in market reformA high-speed train from Fuzhou to Longyan in Fujian province has been named "China Unicom", sparking discussion among netizens. The Nanchang Railway Bureau said selling trains' naming rights is a great step in China's rail reform. Other bureaus, such as those in Beijing, Shenyang and Chengdu, also have seen commercially named high-speed trains.
What do think? Is it a good thing?
Topic3 School leaders were photoshopped into the graduation photoLately a graduation photo was found to be photoshopped because a teacher appeared twice in the photo with exactly the same pose and facial expression.
It's funny in a way that it's such a silly mistake to make. But then it's kind of sad that the school treat their graduation photo in this way.
Is this ridiculous?
