  • The Shanghai mascot is based on the Chinese character for "man". It was gumby that copied from the Chinese character.

  • @peter238 Are you sure?

    Gumby creater will really know chinese character "human" or be the creator of Haibao find the coincidence then copied Gumby without confessed of that is just "copy paste" ?

  • Do you know how to write the Chinese word for "man" or "person"?

    The Shanghai mascot is based on the Chinese word for "man".

  • @peter238 I have 1 year chinese primary class, then i know you are meaning that character in mandarin "ren" or in cantonese "yan". I am from Macau then i speak cantonese and read very little traditional chinese, so, of course i do about what you are saying.

    I just want to say the Haibao designer "borrowed" the form shape of Gumby with coincidence of word "ren".

  • The design of Haibao is based on the shape of the Chinese word or pictogram for "man". There is no need to borrow from the shape of Gumby. The designer of Haibao does not even know about Gumby at all.

  • @peter238 Wait, i am not chinese but you'are, with your "238" that i could see, i understand what your feeling of being laughed by japanese, which treat your people as "east asia sick man". But we have to be reasonable in this case, this is very normal, i know the artists and other people related in job of creativity like reading magazines, books and watching TV to have more ideas, in fact sometimes the people have lack of them.

  • @juicypencil

    I don't know what you mean by "238". It is just a number to me.

    I don't even know why you are talking about the Japanese here.

    But China's economy is rising rapidly now. It is no wonder that the Japanese are jealous of China. In particular, Japan's economy has been crumbling and their public debt is so high that the Japanese are nearly bankrupt.

    In Asia, Japan is now regarded as a source of economic problems,

    while China is providing growth for the whole economy of East Asia.

  • @peter238 I just want to say i know these numbers, which are favourite lucky numbers of chinese people, mostly chinese's cars licensed has these numbers, I just want to show you, even i am not chinese but i am raised in that society, so i understand mostly what you people think, that's all!

  • I am not familiar with which numbers are considered as lucky by the Chinese.

    But from what I know, in any country, car license plate numbers are assigned by the government. I don't know how they assigned car license numbers in China, but clearly not everyone can get those lucky numbers.

  • @peter238 (Cont.) You right, even their economy are decreasing even as starving, they insist insulting China, not because jealous of China is better, just because they still think "China is always China". I mean, they think chinese people were been always "lower".

  • The Japanese in general are good people, but they still have not apologized for world war II invasion of Asia, Nanjing massacre etc.

    The Japanese may think they are better, but they are regarded by other Asian countries as lower class people, because they do not have the courage to admit their world war II war crimes.

  • @peter238 They have apologized in many times in many years ago. But chinese people are think is not enough, this is the problem.

    But 1 thing i have to told you, if japanese were not much more superior in the military combat, why could they win China so easily.

  • @peter238 (Cont) And for another case, even my portuguese and macanese ancestors could win in the battle against chinese empire in 1849, we were just 36 soldiers and defeated 400 chinese soldiers with 20 cannons.

    Then chinese people taught us 1 thing, "winners are king and losers are slaves", you have to remember, In fact japanese culture philosophy are derived from chinese, so that's the point of their savagery in Nanking.

  • @peter238 (cont) Don't you remember Morizo and Kiccoro of Expo Aichi have also the big similarity with others japanese animation.

    Don't seem Totoro of Ghibli, remember that?

  • terence @juicypencil I could see Peter238 an IGNORANT Chinese. By the Way, 238 also means "Easy Prosperity", a common WISH among ignorant Chinese people who only thinks about getting RICH easy (like copying) without Working Hard or using their true creativity. I'm sure, many Chinese People are hard working, but unfortunately many others just like take short cuts.....sigh**

  • @terencetung Come on, having those numbers in the car license doesn't mean are lazy, many rich people have also these custom. Then you think they were lazy before to create their fortune?

  • Please behave and be more polite.

    I am not familiar with which numbers are considered as lucky by the Chinese.

    I just randomly picked 238 as an account name,

  • @peter238 yes account name, fortune numbers are chinese culture, chinese have this since 5000 years, before of many great nations.

    I have nothing against, but i don't care if my car has or not these numbers, just because i don't care not agaisnt, that's it!
