Flying back from Beijing, I had bought a lot of books. I filled my bags with it, so they were very heavy. When the agent came to try to check my backpack, he casually grabbed it, and fell on the conveyor belt trying to lift it. He looked at me with shock. "I'm done", I thought. He opened the bag, and saw a box of zongzi the university gave me, on top of the books. He instantly became radiant, gave me a pat on the back, and just indicated the way.

- marcosdumay 8mo agoI know it's a joke, and they probably get only a tiny minority of cases... but the Chinese government makes a huge show of executing people that do stuff like this.
- nerdsniper 8mo ago> the Chinese government makes a huge theater of execution people that do stuff like this. This sentence has a critical grammatical error, but I can't figure out what it was supposed to say.
- asielen 8mo agoExecution should be executing Also not sure about the usage of theater there. I'd probably swap it out for "show". Never heard theater used like that although it is pretty close to a standard idiom, "to make a show of something".
- marcosdumay 8mo agoThanks, changed both.
