[prettyb0y1992]

[guitarhamster102]

I'm glad the artist is from Taiwan. Had he been in China, all this works would have to go through censorship criteria.

[tonesbe]

Oh god.

1000 cuts.

*Shudders*

[IraMcGurkin]

@tonesbe Death by 1000 cuts is a misnomer. It was more like 350 cuts.

[tonesbe]

@IraMcGurkin

I see.

But damn, it's just painful to even think about. :O

[jerramy]

I read that it averages out that for each person in the West has five virtual slaves who work in poorer countries that manufacture their clothes and other material goods for bare existance. If you think your goods cost too much, it is not because of the cost of manufacturing, it is because the big companies are making megabucks of profit. But if you stop buying stuff "made in Taiwan"you also put these poor people out of work. So what to do? I don't know the solution.

[e1leeny]

i saw this at the museum of fine arts in taipei couple years ago. has such lingering impact on me, even til now.

[HillsideNTsucks]

Crap..

[topher11372]

was that all ya got from eet?

[1073601]

ling-chi is freakishly disturbing

[naturelifetw]

推測不是麻藥，可能方便止血的藥物，

畢竟未達1000刀受刑者斷氣，

執刀人也要受刑。

[a951906]

沒錯 不能用麻藥 而且要殺滿1001刀 用魚網把身上的皮勒緊 然後一刀刀的割下來 電影總是沒法很詳訴....

[scare1234567]

不能用麻藥!! ok~~ 這樣歪國人會不懂凌遲的藝術~~~~

[Tessmage]

Bunch of barbarians. The smartest thing that the rest of the world could do would be to cut off all trade with southeast Asia and leave those people to their collective fate. The Chinese are still practicing "ling chi," only now they are doing it figuratively and at the expense of the Western world's economy.

[sklanger]

China is part of East Asia, not "southeast Asia" you geographically challenged moron. The smartest thing you could do is acknowledge your new financial overlords, to whom you owe trillions in debt because they've been lending to you to subsidize your profligate lifestyles, and then go back to school. Maybe you'll pass geography this time.

[Tessmage]

Look at the map again, junior Einstein. Russia takes up the entire northern half of the Asian continent... which automatically categorizes China as being "south" by default.

As for them being anyone's "overloards," I'm quite sure that all of that will be remedied when the H-bombs land on their targets. Buh bye now.

[sklanger]

For a retard you're amusingly obdurate. Southeast Asia has always referred to the region comprising of Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the like. Not China. This is a well-established geographical convention of which you are obviously ignorant.

Encarta: "East A·sia [ st áyə ] the countries, territories, and regions of China, Hong Kong, Japan, North Korea, South Korea, Macau, Mongolia, parts of Russia, and Taiwan."

Remedy your retardation and lack of education first, gumpy. :)

[sklanger]

"Russia takes up the entire northern half of the Asian continent"

By that reasoning, the United States is part of South America, since Canada, which shares the same latitude as Russia, takes up "the entire northern half" of the American continent and the U.S. shares the same latitude as China.

Your error is to assume that only Russia shares the northern portion of the Eurasian landmass. Almost as dumb an error as assuming that only Canada occupies North America.

You 'tard. :)

[Tessmage]

Guess again, bombastic little boy. I own you. Totally. I will always own you -- no matter what. Just accept the inferiority of your mediocre existence and live with it. You -- and everything about you -- are totally unimportant. ;)

[sklanger]

lol? Yea sure. The sexually-frustrated nerd who renders 'adult' computer games for a living is telling me about inferior mediocrity. I could say owned but you already know that. :)

Which is why you're lashing out.

"You are totally unimportant."

If I were totally unimportant you wouldn't be so angsty over being humiliated on geography. But your self-esteem took a beating so you feel the need to reply. Even though there's no possible reply. Game over. :)

[OoShinkooO]

@sklanger Damn.. One year ago.. That's still a pretty harsh burn.

[esrapk]

@sklanger you´re an idiot for thinking that you´re better just because he thinks that life is more than mediocrity.

[nukeusa911x2]

@sklanger Maybe you should also remembe the reason why we owe money to the chinese is because most of the shit in the US is made in sweat shops in china and the US is one of the main reasons why the chinese economy is doing so well.

[MrPlague1000]

@sklanger I would say.. umadbro:D

[pasfresh123]

2:04 "like in 1900 when the ??? palace was burnt down by the ??? allied forces". What did he say?

[letsgoandhavesomefun]

i think he said remirem (?) palace, and the age/eight allied forces ? =D

[KGLNYC]

The voice-over translates, "like in 1900 when the Yuanmingyuan Palace was burnt down by the Eight Allied Forces...." After the "Boxer Rebellion" in 1900, the eight allied forces (British, French, American, German, Russian, Austrian, Italian, and Japanese) took Beijing and the British and French proceeded to sack, loot, and burn the old Summer Palace to make an unequivocal statement to the Chinese empire and its people. It is part of China's "century of humiliation."

[pasfresh123]

Thank you!!!

Finally someone answers my simple question rather than just vote against my posting, which I find pretty stupid. How can you vote against a question?? A question is not an opinion, it's someone showing that he is interested in understanding the topic better.

[kiflarrgh]

i think there is some limit of pain, and when you pass that limit you feel nothing or simply you fall uncounsciousness or die

[zombi80]

but they gave to the condemned some drugs for being aware of all

[tlen0117]

everyone's level of tolerance is different.

[zuoluo2]

this death penalty is one of many measures the old china's government took to make the people there more easily to contorl.most of the penalty take on the indivaduals who say no to the goverment or have a thougt of revolution.but the deepest sorrow is the people around the death person,just like made by wood,have no thoughts.the fresh really took is their's not the prisoner's.

[HorrorAddict23]

that is sick. por guy, by the way, do they injected him with anesthesia? because he does'nt scream.

[BrookerStooker]

the title might confuse people,

should be 'TW video art about China',

100% of the scenes are from China!

[ImakeYouRoflToDeath]

Lingchi-death by a thousand cuts (some say only 100) was carried out by sliceing parts of flesh from the chest and limbs, eventually it would lead to dismemberment of the limbs. execution of the victim would be either decapitation or a stab in the heart. there is much debate on how long each procedure was carried out.

[foliage4]

it can be as much as 3600

[tamsq89]

WATCH OUT the terrorist actions before Beijing Olympics. The anti-China activities on YouTube also has increased tremendously recently. Many new anti-China videos made, many new user accounts have been created.

China has recently cracked a series of conspiracies by American-backed Tibet exiles, and a terrorist plot to sabotage Beijing Olympic has been foiled in Xinjiang region.

Hope China will get and kill all the terrorists!

[davidgrahamscott]

A most excellent piece of film art. Would love to see the whole work! This image has fascinated me for many years.

[MattieCooper]

This is fascinating! Thank you!

[QuintenSethXiu]

and if you think about it "death by a Thousand cuts" it showed cloth factorys and a traditional death now point is in cloth making thers a lot of cutting of the materials and because of it being a sweetshop a lot of people get worked to death therfor a form of a statment death by a thousand cuts

and from my view again the death seen resembals the agany that went on in those places

[DGS120]

Good point there man

[QuintenSethXiu]

for all those who dont get it. your looking at it the wrong way

It even says its just Excerpts from Chen Chieh-jen's complete video. this is from my view sections that where posted to make a point and I feel the point is clear

and for all those who dont get it watch Chen chieh-jen's complete videos

[tommyterroristik]

thankyou for that, because i didn't get it, and now i do, and the traditional death, is that also "death by 1000 cuts?" because thats fucked up. it looked like they were butchering him alive like a sheep carcass..like they seemed to be taking extrordinary care to cut off the right bits and pieces. why cut bits off? why not just slit his throat and bleed him, i don't get the torture part of it. i thought harikare was bad enough! :S

[tommyterroristik]

the thankyou was directed at

"QuintenSethXiu" for the explination of vid :D

[Tassiekaz]

death of 1000 cuts - idea is to make a public execution; draw out the death; also it is an insult to the ancestors (who give us life). By defacing the body the victim is disfigured even after death and cannot fulfil their filial duty because they are cut up

[ICanEatWood]

the video presented two things.

One was about sweatshop workers, and the other about a death by athousand cuts. At no point did they connect the two.

Well, what the hell. An implied theme of "connections between old and new china" is a stretch at best.

No closure? No end? Why did you have two things in the same video?

[melodiccarnage]

Yes I am a girl thank you, but I don't know what point you're trying to make.

[delux192000]

this was the crappyest video Ive ever seen in my life, what a boring retorical piece of time..

I want my three minutes Back!!!

[Qetapaz]

Ahahahaaha loser :DDD asshole :DD

[IronJackalTw]

Wow, I got a LOW SCORE for telling the TRUTH around here!!

This Video is still GAY!! They just don't GET IT yet!!

The FAGGOTS in Taiwan certainly know how to make it GAY for the Whitey to watch!!

This is like Brokeback Mountain from another Ang Lee Wannbe Film Maker!!

They'll stop at nothing to portait our Taiwanese People as WEAK and GAY!!

This is what our Taiwanese People want! Our feet kicking the teeth out of Whitey and Asian FAGGOTS until they died!! >=P

[mazpadi]

been searching for this. thanks.

[azulmismo]

thank you for posting this video!!!! love mr. Chen's works!!!

[seshygirl04]

Yeah, alot of Asian countries and societies have come a long way and have matured so much. It's good to see that people change and also interesting to see what people change from!

[washu2002]

you condescending racist eurocentric bitch.

[Aiwendillie]

That's such a general, vague statement that it can't possibly apply to anything, let alone this video.

[sevak26]

not bad

[kevinandre91]

the Title Is a Bit Misleading To me,It was worth the watch,I just wish It was a little more Informative of the story...maybe I just didn't comprehend it well enough...

[DGS120]

You complete fuken tosser. I'd execute u myself if I could get ya

[acdcblaster7494]

thats sad

[DGS120]

Stoopid kunt writing that

[Minael2008]

[Doodsjager]

Interesting way to showcase history. Very well done.
