They just went there to show their love for "avant-garde music" (Punk is regarded as avant-garde by most Chinese I think). And in the past most Chinese audience would sit through concerts motionless, few would clap or encore. I remember when I was in middle school there came a show biz team from Beijing to my hometown. Those singers tried truly hard to stir up the atmosphere but in vain. No applause, no encore. To make one young female singer feel better I asked for her autograph(first time in my life)hehe..anyway, enjoy your stay in Beijing:) I don’t think Chinese would be interested in punk music.

I wonder what's caipirinhas?? Yugong Yishan is a very ancient Chinese fable, is about a so-called "Follish old man(Yugong)" who was determined to move a moutain(Yishan---means "move the moutain")to somewhere else. He and his offsprings worked on the project for generations and finally successfully moved the moutain to another place. The stroy is just to teach people to be patient and stick to one's goal. You guys had a cool night. :) zen master, are you that ali too? I wonder what’s caipirinhas??
