Monthly China July 2025 | Poisoned Kindergarten/Uncle Red/Shitty Water/Shaolin Temple and National Dignity
July 2025. It’s been almost two years since I left China. But I have never been able to distance myself from the Chinese society due to the Internet and the social media. Or more profoundly speaking, since I’m a Chinese, I only care about what’s happening in China. It relates to my interest, my identity, my link to collective memory, thus my relationship with my fellow Chinese. It’s our story, I don’t wanna privileged foreigners or domestic dictator control the narrative, yeah, I can’t help messing up with them. So let me share you my personal Monthly China, on what’s happening and how do we common Chinese feel about it.
To summarize July 2025 in China, I would use one word: Indignation. If you check the dictionary: indignation means anger or annoyance provoked by what is perceived as unfair treatment.
The funny thing here is that you can see unfair treatment fairly befall on the head of Chinese average person. July started from Kindergarten in Gansu, over 200 children were poisoned by addictive used to colorize their steamed bun. Honestly, I was not surprised at all by this kind of news, food security is never secure in China, which is sort of common sense. But this piece of news keeps bugging on my social media because the local government was so used to cover it up than do their job. So the news like parents of the poisoned children got arrested or their social media got shut down kept alive until a man dressed up as a woman doing free hooker and got laid with more than 1600 Chinese guys in Nanking.
The news of Uncle red occupied the headline in the second week of July because of the hilarious absurdity. Videos and voice record of this suspected gay lied to straight men of every kind, assuring them that he has a vagina went viral. He single-handedly proved to all Chinese women who still have princess dream how stupid and horny their husband or husband-to-be are. It sounds vulgar, but a lot of women just realize that they /the Chinese guy just need a hole. So uncle red simply proved that an asshole also counts. This is a huge slap to Chinese patriarchal society. I can’t help laughing the whole day, and spread that news to my international friends who has Asian fever. While I’m writing, my Portuguese friend told me that this Uncle red outfit has evolved into some funny foreplay between couples on TikTok. Sending gift as watermelon or half bottle of oil, you can only get the punchline if you share the collective memory of Chinese people.
