Remember the "Sex and Shanghai" blog written by Chinabounder about his sexual adventures in Shanghai that was forced to close down and hide out due to a collaborative hunt by the China netizens? a story covered by almost all the big China blogs and the very keen international media? If you don’t, take a re-read of the "China : Sex, Pride and a bit about Israel" summary and the "The immoral foreign blogger" ESWN where the whole unbelievable story began.
Some said it was a hoax, some said it was for real, some were big fans, some were utterly upset, some couldn’t care less. Those who joined the story too late didn’t have a chance to really read what it was about before it closed, but now – it seemed that the blog re-opened two days ago. The blog has a new post titled "a new girl" with a most emotional reply to the Chinese netizens, referring to a story about an 11 years old girl killed by a teacher and another 9 years old girl beaten to death by another teacher (link might be dead, found through News from China):
"Her name was Zhang Yaoyi. She was 11. She was a pupil in a school in China’s central Hunan province. [...]
And then the lunacy that lurks beneath the male skin slithers to the surface. He smashes her head against the desktop several times, hard, brutal; she falls to the floor. He kicks her, thick, heavy blows from his feet into her stomach, her ribcage. He jumps on her, kicks her head. Already she’s covered in blood and barely conscious. He grabs an iron bar that’s used to pull open the high windows and beats her with it, beats her, smashes her, bloody, murderous, brutal. [...]
And where were all you frothing lunatics then? Where were the witchhunts then? Where was the anger and the outrage? Where were the frenzied press reports? Where were the blog sites calling for this guy’s head?
One Western man has sex with a bunch of women. Women who are adults, who consent freely, and who enjoy it thoroughly. He writes about it, throws in a few run-of-the-mill opinions. Behavior nothing special. Thoughts little new. Chaos. Millions of madmen fussing and strutting and firing off absurd emails. [...]
Where were you brave citizens of China then? Where was the anger? Where was the press, so like dogs baying for Chinabounder? The outcry? The mass of Internet idiots so concerned about China’s honor and dignity? They offered silence and remain silent. Not a word, not a sigh, not a shrug of the shoulder, not even a raised eyebrow. [...]
Shame on the citizens of China! Your children are dying and your silence is complicit in their death."
The guy’s got balls, I’ll grant him that. I can sense trouble. Brace yourselves, here comes another one…

The Sex Is Back: Return of Chinabounder | Lost Laowai China Blog | February 5th, 2007 at 8:00 pm #
[...] Well folks he’s back. As reported by fiLination, the Chinabounder has started posting again and has resumed with what is sure to be a racket: From the first time you see her you know she’s special. She’s got that something, that spark of sass, of drive; it animates her, energizes her. She’s full of secrets and laughter, plans and hopes. Her presence fills a room and her absence empties it. She’s not someone you forget. I want to know her, know what her life is, who she is, how, what she thinks. […] [...]

Senlin Online Blog | February 6th, 2007 at 9:08 pm #
[...] The most discussed news in the “blogosphere” is the return of the Chinabounder with his blog Sex & Shanghai / 欲望上海. A tiny bit of background info (rest you can find on other blogs, for example fiLi’s World): he is an English teacher in Shanghai who writes quite graphically about his various sexual escapades with former (young) female students. Being so open and straightforward he has a large following and an even so large group of people that feels deeply offended (not only Chinese men, also other foreigners). [...]

Kindly note that the girl was not mentally ill, the teacher was diagnosed mental disorders, so you should really re-read either the original news or Chinabounder’s narration again and change it to “a story about an 11 years old girl killed by a mentally ill teacher”

Global Voices Online » Blog Archive » China: Sexologist shuts up | February 16th, 2007 at 10:07 pm #
[...] Well, at least Chinabounder is back and keeping the discourse going. Here’s BlogLegal’s Feng Lei, via Tianya, posted on Valentine’s Day. 今天，我们很遗憾的看到李银河在自己博客上所公开的”最新决定”。这个决定告诉我们，我们中的绝大多数，还没有勇气或者还没有意识到性生活本身是属于自己的权利、使自己的隐私，更没有意识到性生活本身更鼓要科学和文明的引导。 Today, we regretfully saw Li Yinhe’s “latest decision” made public on her own blog. This decision tells us that the vast majority of us lack the courage and have yet to realize that our sex lives are our own prerogatives, our own private affairs, and that we have definitely yet to realize how sex itself both encourages and is conducive to science and civilization. 我们注意到，在李银河以一个社会学家的身份谈论性的话题的时候，公众的反映让人大跌眼镜。当一个社会学家谈到的性的文明和性的层次的时候，我们的民众其实是当作笑话和戴着所谓道德的眼镜来看待和理解这个问题的。他们没有把性的问题当作一门社会科学来对待，相反，而是作为茶余饭后的谈资来对待，并且以自己的原有的观点来评价这个问题。 We’ve noticed that when Li Yinhe speaks on topics of sex in her role as a sociologist, public response allows the National People’s Congress to see things more clearly. When a sociologist speaks on the civilisation and layers of sexuality, our people actually take it as a joke, treating and understanding the subject through ‘morality-tinted glasses’. They don’t see sex as a matter of social science, but rather better suited for post-dinner, post-tea chats. [...]

I bet this Marriott guy is probably a bitter person. Sounds like some middle-aged loser who can’t make it in the UK, so he has to come to China (or maybe Thailand), fuck as many girls as he can to find a sense of manhood.
Chinese ladies and gents, don’t even get pissed off at this guy, first because it’s not worth your time and second hes not the problem.
Misunderstanding of western men and a lack of awareness, together with ignorance contribute to the victimization of so many girls.
Looking at the big picture, Marriott is not a stupid man. A well-planned scheme: he rides on the ignorance of young Chinese girls and exploits the strong reactions of the Chinese community into getting what he want; his so-called 15min of fame. He is able to generate an audience only because of the strong public reactions. But truth be told, he is just an ordinary loser, although a bit more sad and bitter than most.
As far as his book, it’s not even worth budging an eye because its a form of self promotion.
Why is the book cover in Japanese? Because he understands anti-Japanese sentiments in China, thus by publishing it in such a context he is able to generate more anger.
Public anger is his source for generating audience.
Predictions: the book will most likely generate more public outcry, and such reactions will only nudge this loser closer to the spotlight.
Do not be fooled. I say let this guy play his games because there are sickos and con artists like this all over the place. I personally find this Marriott guy pathetic.
