A respected research institute wanted Chinese classical texts to adorn
its journal, something beautiful and elegant, to illustrate a special
report on China. Instead, it got a racy flyer extolling the lusty
details of stripping housewives in a brothel.

Chinese characters look dramatic and beautiful, and have a powerful
visual impact, but make sure you get the meaning of the characters
straight before jumping right in.

There were red faces on the editorial board of one of Germany's top
scientific institutions, the Max Planck Institute, after it ran the text
of a handbill for a Macau strip club on the front page of its latest
journal. Editors had hoped to find an elegant Chinese poem to grace the
cover of a special issue, focusing on China, of the MaxPlanckForschung
journal, but instead of poetry they ran a text effectively proclaiming
"Hot Housewives in action!" on the front of the third-quarter edition.
Their "enchanting and coquettish performance" was highly recommended.
