BEIJING, May 28 -- China has suffered a lot recently
¨C Western media distortion, a train crash and a horrific earthquake. However,
Chinese people are always brave. Glance at the T-shirts in the streets and
you will know.
Love-China T-shirts appeared when the Olympic Torch
bearer was attacked in Paris. After a series of incidents, people in the
country, even all over the world, wore the shirts to show their love for China.
Called wenhuashan in Chinese, these T-shirts display
the wearer's personality and ideas. Now with summer coming, aiguo wenhuashan,
Love-China T-shirts, dot the streets.
Most of them are white, with red patterns. Some have
a heart and a China map. The Beijing Olympic logo even appears on your chest if
you choose the Olympic series. Others combine a red heart with the Chinese
National Flag, with five yellow stars at the left top.
A college student has designed all of the 100 Chinese
surnames with the red heart, to show that "all the people in China support our
country whole-heartedly." Each individual can choose his or her own surnamed
T-shirt to wear and add more individualized features.
Those who are interested can visit retailers at
Huawei Building in Xidan, Wudaokou Clothing Market, the clothing markets around
the Beijing Zoo and Tianyu Market near Tuanjiehu.
Buying a love-my-country T-shirt online may be more
convenient. Many big online shops, for example, taobao.com, eachnet.com and
ebay.com, provide the product at a very low price and some of the online shop
owners claim that they will donate all the money to areas that suffered in the
earthquake.
If you are lucky, you may happen to find some
factories online which produce these T-shirts. Order there if you need large
quantities- it will save some money.Because the patterns and colors are simple,
each love-China T-shirt costs no more than 50 yuan, except those that have
really good material and designs. Some sell for about 25 yuan online, and if you
order in large quantities, you can get as cheap as 8 to 10 yuan each. Cheap and
reasonable.
So why not show off your muscles and your love
towards China this summer with a T-shirt?
