Yes I agree. I'm heavy. But I'm 55 years old. It's really not good for a child's health to be so heavy.

Performers take part in a concert to celebrate the one year anniversary of the opening of the Beijing Olympics, in Beijing, China, Thursday, Aug. 6, 2009. The games opened on August 8, 2008 with a ceremony in Beijing's iconic Bird's nest stadium.

People play online games in an internet cafe in downtown Shanghai August 6, 2009. As China attempts to scrub clean its virtual worlds and ensure only wholesome games reach its millions of ardent gamers, most at risk are foreign game companies who may find it harder to enter the market. A high ranking official with China's video game regulatory body told an industry conference late last month that China would begin closely monitoring Internet-based games that enter the mainland to ensure fair competition and wholesome content.

Unemployed women attend a workshop on babysitting skills in Shenyang, Liaoning province August 4, 2009.

Five-year-old Chinese girl Liu Lin spreads her arms as she lies with her body buried in the sand at the Sun Beach Theme Park in Beijing August 6, 2009. The park, where Olympic medals were won and lost in beach volleyball last August, was probably not the legacy foremost in the mind of organisers when they spent billions of dollars building the venues for last year's Beijing Olympic Games.

Re: Chinese Daily Life Photos!

a quick smart-ass comment on the picture with the caption -- "A resident performs Taiji as morning exercise at a flooded park by the Yangtze River in Chongqing Municipality August 6, 2009. " -- how did she get there? she couldn't possibly have walked on water.
