From Danwei.org: “Five hundred 18-year-old freshmen men at Shanghai’s Fudan University had their first shave yesterday in a ceremony celebrating their entrance to manhood…
After shaving, the students also wrote statements on an “announcement wall”… like “Let me choose my own life” and “Nobody can tell me what to do anymore.”" Most Chinese young people live with their parents until marriage, which is often increasingly delayed due to education and career pursuits.

Chinese public service announcement: Stop Bribing Everybody!
The public service announcements I grew up with said stuff like wear your bike helmet, don't do drugs, smoking is bad, etc. But here's a Chinese one that's trying to get people to stop offering "red packets" full of money (红包) to teachers, doctors, policemen, and gov. officials. In China if you want to have any confidence that these people will actually do their jobs, a hóngbāo or two (or more) is sometimes necessary.
