Sept. 20 issue - On the surface, the article was unremarkable. The
China Youth Daily recently reported that the Sichuan town of Wanyuan
had laid on a lavish concert to commemorate a 1934 Red Army battle.
Wanyuan is too poor to have a proper stage, but that didn't stop
authorities from paying popular pop singer Song Zuying more than
$50,000 to sing just four songs in a school auditorium, the paper
said. In addition, Wanyuan government offices, schools and businesses
reportedly received a "political assignment" to buy $165,000 worth of
tickets to help bankroll the event.
