"How could she upload that video on the internet?"
Because very many Chinese youths do not have the same good values as their parents and forefathers. A lost generation has emerged in China and can be found in all the big cities throughout the country. Generation Y

I am puzzled too. Today's students are very different from us. They do whatever they like.

That girl was very stupid. How could she do this just for 400 RMB? She hurt her parents and that boy's family a lot. If she didn't respect herself, no one would respect her too.

The girl was stupid. She should have asked for 4000, not 400.

Does anyone have a copy of the video by any chance?

Do I detect a note of healthy skepticism DODGER?

Well, I guess that there are some copies of that video. Anything can spread very fast on the internet. Remember Edison Chen's sex photo scandal?

I think skepticism and cynicism are two qualities that set westeners and Chinese apart. Would you agree DODGER?

Bob, I have had many conversations with locals about the very same subject.
I take private English lessons on the weekends instigated and organized by a local English teacher.
But, I think quite possibly, that the real reason behind the classes is the chat that I can never avoid afterward.
I am aware that all schools have a political department so I am always careful with how I word my views.
I am beginning to form the belief that like Janus, there are two faces here; one public and one very private.
So, in answer to your question, I think the cynicism here takes a different form, a different shape; a Chinese puzzle perhaps? But certainly a real cultural difference.
