Toilet as new revolution in China
BEIJING In the museum of revolutionary history a new revolution is being showed, that of the public toilet. 'Toilet revolution' is the name of the Chinese campagne to enlighten the walk to the public toilet. THe young ph.d He Enxiang stands on the bar- ricades of this all. After 5 years of researcgh he designed a toilet that doesnt use even one droplet of water or chemical something. "Clean and environmentally cool" he characterizes his product. It delivers organic dung (turds) and doesn't spoil water. That last thing should be a recommendation for a reward from his leader Jiang Zemin. 2 years ago Jiang was angry about the yearly spoilt 300 million (or something) cubic yards of water due to leaky toilets. Jiang said "if we are able to get satellites into orbit, we should also be able to make kick-ass toilets". Visible from the Square of Heavenly Peace, He Enxiang's models are displayed on the inner court of the museum. He demonstrates one of the toilets, which are all covered with biodegradable plastic. This covering automatically rolls down if the user stands up, so that the thing s/he delivered gets neatly sealed off, and sinks down in a container. After a few attempts -the toilet starts when He is still sitting on it- it eventually works well. In the museum, a number of visitors is looking at an exhibit of 1200 pictures of superclean toilet buildings from all over China. Many of the photographed rooms are cheered up with flower pots. No picture reveals that the mean toilet in China doesn't reek that well. And that was N.B. which caused this toilet- revolution exhibit. <blahblahblah> Some tourists report that you have to do your private business in a row with other users, who, if you're lucky, are reading the newspaper. But often they stare at you, watching if you're having different habits. Also, there's too few toilets. Shangai's 13 million people have to do with 1100 public toilets. In Shangai, people sometimes claim a toilet that they will give up only if they're paid for it. <blahblah>
P.S. i didn't translate the sucky parts: it was just
a lot of complaining and i don't want to be accused
of being discriminating or something.
