The Chinese word "Shanzhai" means a small mountain village, but now it becomes an

accepted name for fakes (假货), after "Shanzhai Cell-phones" produced by small

workshops in southern China became popular in the mainland market over the past two

years. Besides (除……之外,还有)"Shanzhai" electronic products, there are "Shanzhai"

movies, "Shanzhai" stars and even a "Shanzhai" Spring Festival Gala, a copy of the

25-year-old traditional show presented by CCTV on Chinese Lunar New Year's Eve.

"Shanzhai" has become a culture of its own, meaning anything that imitates something

famous. In Chongqing, "Shanzhai" version "Bird's Nest〔鸟巢〕" and "Water Cube〔水立方〕" woven by farmers with bamboo attract(吸引) wide attention from tourists. Both

of common people and could be a comfort to their minds," he said.

and a motivation〔推动〕. People believe different kinds of cultures developing

together is a perfect way and it is for the public to choose.
