The local Public Security Bureau for Wuhan University published a quite extraordinary list of ways to avoid getting raped, which was then republished by Sina Guangdong.
So, to avoid being having your dignity taken away, here are nine suggestions from a Chinese police authority:
Translations courtesy of thenanfang.com
1: Don’t take illegal cabs. (If you do,) get into the habit of memorising the license plate. Sit in the back seat, and pretend to make a call.
Woman on phone: “Husband, come out and pick me up! The license plate of the car is xxx”.
2: Carry a small spray bottle that contains Fengyoujing (a medicated balm lotion), and spray it into the eyes of any attacker.
3: Throw your wallet somewhere far away instead of passing it over to the attacker.
Person throwing: Fly away!
4: If you want to take a picture of the bad man, you can pretend to be talking on the phone and surreptitiously record him by pointing the back of the phone towards him.
Be very careful using this one! If you are discovered doing this, you will die a grisly death.
5: Sometimes, teeth can be more effective than your own hands.
Cannibal: If you’re not careful, you’ll have eaten the attacker.
6: Cut your fingernails into this shape. A blunt cut is fine, don’t make them too long or else they may break unexpectedly.
7: Upon being raped*, you should defecate or urinate if you can, or stick your fingers down your throat to vomit.
An ordinary person will wilt at this sight.
8: Carry a pen on your person (with the exception of a lead pencil). This is more convenient than a knife because you are able to pass through a security checkpoint.
9: Be ugly; this is the safest way of all!

The annual Tiananmen Anniversary vigil in Victoria Park remembers those who died in 1989. Beyond the sentiment though there’s a solid practical reason for the political parties involved, it’s good business. All those wanting to honour the memory of the deceased are funnelled through two entrances into Victoria Park. Outside and in, are a plethora of earnest activists hard-selling books, t-shirts, flyers, flowers, models, fans, umbrellas… or just straight out guilt-asking for donations.

Just recently a Chinese woman in the United States found two rolls of black and white negatives of the Tiananmen demonstration. The photos are quite amazing, see them on The China Girls blog and read the full story: http://thechinagirls.wordpress.com/2014/06/04/never-before-seen-tiananmen-square-photos-found-in-shoebox/

25 years on hundreds of thousands of Hong Kongers paused to remember those who died in Tiananmen Square. The vigil honours not only their memory but their struggle to be heard.

A fantastic day of high quality women’s rugby saw Canada retain the HK Women’s 7s trophy after beating France in a pulsating cup final in front of 40,000 screaming fans. Earlier Kazakhstan making their tournament debut triumphed in the Plate final 12:7 over China while Hong Kong finally found their form to convincingly win the Bowl final 33:7 over Kenya.
