his real name is George ****(edited by NE Asia editor for protecting privacy). He’s a pretty eccentric person to say the least. The fact that all these people actually like him makes me weep for the future of our kind.

As a non-Chinese who lives in NYC’s Chinatown, I find your act incredibly insulting to the Chinese. You have absolutely no sensitivity by appearing half-naked, singing old songs in a horrible voice, with a very poor command of Chinese pronunciation.

This is pure junk!! I can’t believe there’s an audience of this- how low will people go? Are the rejects of American Idol not enough??

It might be his smirk that set some people off – or maybe he’s just born with a smirk that’s unfortunately inappropriate to the song he’s singing. The cultural significance of those revolutionary songs to Chinese people born after China’s revolutionary era is, I think, very similar to the cultural significance of religious tunes to non-church-going Christians and Catholics.

But can his love for the Revolution compete with Mike Tyson’s love for Chairman Mao?

Yeah,it’s also incredable to Chinese,but many of them just see Honglaowai’s red MVs as fun. A westerner holding such a “strong belief” in Chinese red culture which has totally faded in mainland (of course not including the government propaganda) has nevr happened before.
