It’s weird when you zoom in it looks almost more like a piece of art than a photograph.

I suspect it could be from an old postcard, which might indeed have had some artistic retouching done to improve upon the original photograph. If so, the version hosted on Wikimedia might be more true to the original. :)

Ah. Personal headphones. Much better than party headphones to an introvert.

afunkysongaday,

Your source kinda says the opposite of what your title says. Different name, was arrested this time for raping a kid, not sentenced for death but committed suicide and even showing that while “sodomy” was illegal you would not get the death penalty for it.

Chinese society towards homosexuality, it was concluded that the level of acceptance was high and discrimination It is not common. For example, Zhang Zaizhou's book "The Ambiguous Process" refined China's attitude towards homosexuality into the word "ambiguous". But this was not the case after 1949. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, homosexuality was regarded as a "feudal remnant" and was eradicated from China's public discourse space along with polygamy, prostitution and other unmarried and abnormal sexual behaviors. Records of homosexuality during the Mao era are sparse and fragmented. At the same time, relevant agencies also began to persecute anyone who participated in homosexual behavior. Participants in homosexual behavior were accused of sodomy or hooliganism. It is not uncommon to see situations similar to those of Chen Baoping, Zhu Shouqing, and Zhu Zhenhua in the files I have seen. Some people were shot for anal sex. Zhu Zhenhua, who is kneeling in the top picture, has a cross on his name. This cross may represent a personal insult to the prisoner, or another possibility is that the cross was placed on his name only when he was executed.

    I’ve honestly never understood how some people can think that smoking looks attractive. All I can ever think about when I see someone smoking is that smell 🤮. I’m sorry smokers, but y’all smell so fucking bad.

    PeWu,

    The smell also clings to clothes, it’s that bad

    It took them another 10 years to move the vehicle assembly line to the ground floor.

    They were selling so fast they had to push them out the windows as well as the doors to keep the assembly lines moving.
