| Rural registration equals huge profits |
公务员“争当农民”有猫腻 |
| Recently, more than 200 civil servants with rural household registrations (hukou) have been ordered by local authorities to get an urban hukou in Yiwu City, Zhejiang Province. Part of the benefits of being a peasant is the 108 square meters of homestead that can be sold for more than 20,000 yuan per square meter. That seems to explain the keen interest of the area's civil servants with countryside registrations. |
近日，浙江省义乌市200多名拥有农村户口的公务员，被当地政府要求从农村迁出户口。拥有农村户口的好处之一就是可以分到108平方米的宅基地，宅基地可以参与流转，当地市场价每平方米超过2万元。这就解释了公务员青睐农村户口的原因。 |

| Artist creates BMW from stone |
宝马车石头造 |
| It was spotted in the 798 art district of Beijing and looks to be a common grey BMW Z4 M Coupe parked unusually. But if you take a closer look you'll see it's not. The BMW Z4 has chiseled-stone wheels, doors and trunk. The seats, steering wheel and dash interior are made of formed cement, and even the BMW logo has been etched into the chassis and wheels. The artist who created the model, however, remains anonymous. |
这是一辆在北京798艺术区发现的灰色宝马Z4跑车，看起来与正常车没什么区别。走近一看你才会发现它的不同。它的车轮、车身、车门都是石头凿刻而成，车座、方向盘和仪表盘是由水泥做的，底盘和车轮上还刻着宝马的车标。现在还不清楚这是哪位艺术家的杰作。 |

| Castro returns to Cuban TV |
卡斯特罗再露面 |
| A relaxed and lucid Fidel Castro returned to the limelight Monday after years spent largely out of public view. The 83-year-old former Cuban president talked about world events in an interview on "Mesa Redondo" -- or Round Table -- a daily Cuban talk show on current events. The former Cuban leader has shunned the spotlight since undergoing emergency intestinal surgery in July 2006. The illness forced him to step down and gradually cede power to his younger brother Raul. |
