Ahtong 1st Gear July 2, 2011 Share July 2, 2011 For government officials in Huili, a distinctly modest county in a rural corner of south-west China, attracting national media coverage would normally seem a dream come true. Unfortunately, their moment in the spotlight was not so welcome: mass ridicule over what may well be one of the worst-doctored photographs in internet history. The saga began on Monday when Huili's website published a picture showing, according to the accompanying story, three local officials inspecting a newly completed road construction project this month. The picture certainly portrayed the men, and the road, but the officials appeared to be levitating several inches above the tarmac. As photographic fakery goes it was astonishingly clumsy. All this was, however, too late to prevent a torrent of mockery as the offending image was passed around chatrooms and other websites. Inevitably, within hours there was a flood of parodies showing the officials variously landing on the moon, surrounded by dinosaurs and, in one instance, joined on their inspection tour by the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-il. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good-Carbuyer 1st Gear July 2, 2011 Share July 2, 2011 I for one do not believe it for even a minute. Its a big gulf between China and Japan in every aspects. The Japanese themselves will provide proof they did not decend from China. Ever discussed this with a Japanese, and he rejected the idea, but at the same time puzzled why Japanese looks so much like Chinese including wrtitten language (likely nothing in their history books mentioned anything about it).

Jchuacl Clutched July 2, 2011 Share July 2, 2011 That's because they adopted the language as they don't have a writing on their own back in the old days. As there was migration of people during the Ice age across continents, anything is possible. Ever discussed this with a Japanese, and he rejected the idea, but at the same time puzzled why Japanese looks so much like Chinese including wrtitten language (likely nothing in their history books mentioned anything about it).

It was linked back to the Qin Dynasty. Japan was occupied by the native tribes people. The Chinese brought the culture and language over and it evolved into the language that we see today. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
