*Freehugs* Free Hugs Campaign in Beijing China. Banned, been arrested

[maljamin]

They're taking him downtown for much needed hugs!

[paperjamz2oo9]

Y would he get arrest for free hug?!! People this day.

[Mrasianpopmusic]

u do not get arrested by hugging people on street in China, fuck i lived in China for 20 years, never happened in my city, people do whatever they want on streets, kiss, hug, no problems..not in 2011. little red book? cmon, u guys live in the past. China is not a totally free country, however it has more freedom than u think.

[MrGamui]

@Mrasianpopmusic how do you know this didnt happen in your city? would it have been in the news? not so sure..... hmmmm.....

[Mrasianpopmusic]

@MrGamui if it happens, the news may not report it, but people will spread it because it is so ridiculous to do something like that, stop being so negative about China, China sure does not have a good reputation for last a few years, but in 2011, this is not going to happen.

[MrGamui]

@Mrasianpopmusic I'm cynical, but don't take it personally! China isn't the only country where the media is biased (remember Fox News?? erhem)! I do feel China is evolving and that is an excellent thing (I admire the quick evolution of public transit that will never be possible in the western world), I just feel sad that the people have no way of defending themselves when targeted by the government.

[ADDodger]

name of song?

[5anyone]

@ADDodger song name is 彩虹 (rainbow)

[5anyone]

[Jbfan134eva]

How can u ban giving ppl hugs????? Its mean and wrong!!!!! So if I went up and down streets holding up a "Free Hugs" sign they could ban me from it????? I can do what i want it's a free country!!!!!

[fsxmantra]

free hug campainge should be promoted to raise universal consciousness for tolerance and peace, one simple hug speaks louder for peace than all the crooked politicians in the world put together.

[RSChamps225]

The reason why he was arrested was for suspicion of pickpocketing people.

[LeThoem]

haha, they didn't arrest him.

they asked him to go after 2 hours because some store-owners complained, he agreed and took the police-car. as you can see, they weren't unfriendly or something like that...

[b1gr1g]

@LeThoem

Fuck off, you worked for the communist Chinese I bet.

[LeThoem]

@b1gr1g

no, you can read the story in the internet.

[mara235]

Police, people, young, old, healthy and disabled - the hug makes them all smile - keep it up!

[what77777]

What song is this??

[loverofrunescape32]

if he was white he wouldn't have been arrested

[hornerm5]

I think he was arrest for jump hugging. If he just sit still and let people come to hug, he should be OK. Not jumping at people.

[Lucy14baby]

omg how could you get arrested for hugging! :( please keep it up though! <3 proove to everyone that love prevails :)

[MarryChain]

its not based on love, coz people are too afraid ... its not the peoples fault ...

so i hug you all as long you cant do it by yourself ,)

[MarryChain]

how can you arrest humans 4 hugging others? ... where is the light? hugged people should stand beside the huggers and then hug the police :)

/me hugs you all.

[CHARLIETWW]

You don't get it. Chinese culture is not based on love. I know that. Why? I am kinda educated from that suffocating cultural and later realized that I am not a Chinese at all!

[AntiEtc]

@MarryChain

Dude, these are the same people that went in and shot up college students for protesting, and when the world was outraged, they basically said "FUCK YOU!" and ignored us.

[MarryChain]

@AntiEtc

Politics maybe ignore you, but not the humans, my friend :)

[AntiEtc]

@MarryChain

I don't know what you mean. XD

[MarryChain]

@AntiEtc

Love and Light from Germany ;)

[AntiEtc]

@MarryChain

Oh.

I apologize, I haven't slept in a few days, and I apparently can't read when I'm sleepy. XD (-_-)

[dizzydup]

I tried to go to the original location of this video.

"This video has been removed due to terms of use violation. "

wow it's hell in China, third world country at it's best. The short guy in white must have been jealous or one of those scummy coummunist-like people that exterminate or destroy things because he didn't or will not get a "cut." I bet he called the police.

[randomkid]

third world..?

they are a leading economic power in the WORLD

ever picked up a toy and read on its back "MADE IN CHINA"?

its the communist government that makes life a little hard at times.

[commentM0NSTER]

@randomkid huuuuuuurrrrrrrr

[Cardillo24]

Does anyone know the name and artis of this song, think its great? ....

[memohavok]

this was the mail reason why i decided not to learn chinese, they stupid bans... you cant use chinese freely and that fuckin sucks! Im currently learning Japanese better, and my second option if i would like another language is korean, Chinese is worthless... unless you want to use it at the 99C stores...

[Crazylaowai]

做得很好. 那首歌叫什么呢?

[5anyone]

许巍的彩虹。

[Alderade19]

good job

[kikakaziaki]

I want to know the name of the song to!

This song is amazing!

I would like to know what are they singing...

[nepalikancha12]

i think - they assumed what FOLLOWED AFTER "FREE" WAS "TIBET" .... hasty decision

[nibutingdeaiwo]

anybody know the name of the song?
