			100,000,000 people in 1644AD? One hundred million? That's hard to believe, are you sure it wasn't 100,000 or 1,000,000? Han looks more comfortable and easier to manufacture or make at home, but also easier to hide things...... like weapons.   Welcome to the Cellar, sevenseven.

			the second one looks a bit too... ummm... you know... house-of-ill-reputish.  although I can't say for sure... can we blame the Falun Gong?

			No, it looks like a picture taken by a photographer with the entourage of some important figure, being welcomed to a hotel/store/arena/something. Trust me.

			I was going to make a flippant reply about the amount of times you have been greeted as an important figure...  then realised you'll at least have been part fo the entourage at some point

			well, it just reminds me of that time I accidentally found myself inside Madame Wongs House of 10,000 Delights -- just off of Alvarez in LA Chinatown.  So I don't actually have first-hand lnowledge of the real thing.

 Qipao was made in 1920s' in Shanghai China.at the beginning only hookers wore it.but time goes by,other girls wore it also.now few girls wear qipao.i usually see the girls who are waiters in the hotel wear it.and the hooker still like to wear it now.I am pure-blooded han-chinese girl.in my whole life i never wear it.it's too "sexy".and my culture isn't "sexy",it is very deep. | |

			Oh, 100,000,000 since 1644, not 100,000,000 in 1644. That makes it at least possible, I guess. Are you worried that, as China becomes more capitalistic and money flows in, classes will develop, people won't all look the same, won't be equal anymore? Do you think the old hatred, between all the different races Mao forced together as one people, will cause trouble...try to gain power?
