Thank you for pointing it out. 指 is a 多音字(duōyīnzì) and it has multiple pronunciations. It can be both a first and third tone. In Northern China, people say zhījia, in Shanghai, we say zhǐjia.

July 4, 2014 at 1:40 AMWeibo is so yesterday ever since Weixin came out. I never use it to communicate with friends any more since it's so open. But it's still one of the biggest search tools in China.

June 27, 2014 at 6:55 AMI've noticed a strong move towards simpler and flatter design in Chinese websites too optimized for mobile devices, e.g. if you compare Sina.com's web version and iPad version. But it's still more cluttered than the Western aesthetics.

Posted on: 玉林狗肉节
July 8, 2014 at 7:12 AM其实不同地区、不同年龄的中国人看待吃狗肉的问题区别很大。比如在上海，像我这样年龄或者更年轻的人大部分都反对吃狗肉。而且我觉得这次广西狗肉节最没有道德的就是一些卖狗肉的人为了多赚钱，就一手拿着刀，一边和爱狗人士说“如果你不花高价买这条狗，我就把它杀掉。”哎，现在社会上有些人实在太没有道德了。
