Even many English-speaking travelers are puzzled when they read “Go Ahead 30M” on an sign in GuangZhou Baiyun International Airport.
The Chinese sign reads “30 meters ahead”. It is just one of the many incorrect English translations at the airport in the Guangdong provincial capital. The airport administration is planning to clean up its English translations.

A young man from a village near Changchun, capital of Jilin Province, says he lost all of his girlfriends he had over the years because of his effeminate voice.
Neighbors, he said, also discriminated against him because of his sissy voice. He was so depressed that he had to work outside his hometown and dared not to go home to visit his parents during the day in the past three months.
A doctor he consulted told him last week that his vocal cords can be changed a little surgically, but it would not help much. The doctor suggested he have a thorough hormonal checkup.

A man in Guangzhou, capital of Guangdong Province, had surgery to reduce his breast size at the No.1 People’s hospital late last week.
Wang, 32, a manager of a local company, said he never dared to swim or wear light-weight shirts because of his big breasts.
Doctors said no medicines could help him, so the operation was scheduled. He apparently took excessive tonic or medicine or ate too much when he was a child, the doctors said.
