massage milk and the disaster of journalism in china

warning! this article contains sensitive words

wang is from beijing, a place with a strong tradition of humor and cynic. everybody who has spent some time in beijing (or northern china) will agree with me that the language and style of the Massage Milk blog has a very strong beijing characteristics and attract those who understand the cultural and share the same taste.

for many young people who come to realize that there are so many improvement opportunities in china, cynic or humor seems one of the best ways to criticize or get rid of the frustrations they encounter everyday.
