Oh Free Republic’s name appears in a Chinese newspaper?

I guess Free Republic will be banned from China soon.

"Chu Xiaolu, a 25-year-old who runs a photography studio in Haidian district, went online to buy a secondhand Graflex Speed Graphic camera from the US earlier this month. I'm very interested in the story behind the photos," Chu told METRO yesterday. "Is the man still alive? Or was it the last photo of his life?" "

I got this quote from the article. This Chinese Photographer is interested in finding out the complete story about the photographs from a camera he purchased on the Internet. one Photo shows a 1950s United States Army soldier.

He said one of the three photos shows a soldier in US army uniform standing in front of a cabinet. On the right side of the soldier's chest, the name "Jordan" is written on the uniform. The other two photos were of a funeral. No people are recognizable but there is a tent with the word "PUGH" on it.

Chu Xiaolu wants to come to the United States and contact the Eastman Kodak Company in order to find out more about this soldier whose last name is possibly Jordan.

This would be a great assignment for a Journalist in the United States to pick up on if only there were any journalists left in the United States.

Yep, it has been a generation since the last of the Journalists here died. They are all propagandists now.

Actually I was able to access Drudge and FR in Shanghai and in Zhanjiang, Guangdong Province. I expected it in Shanghai because that is home to many westerners but Zhanjiang was a shock.
