Quirky Asia Files: Popular Chinese Blogger Is Named Mao

What's in a name? He isn't simply named Mao (Mao Xinyu, to be precise). He's also the grandson of THAT Mao, Mao Zedong. He even looks like his forebear, whom he idolizes. (Don't read his adoring opinion of his mass murdering grandfather unless you want to be sick.)

Anyway, Mao Xinyu is now a very popular blogger in China. Last year in a poll, it was voted the most popular blog. And who ran the survey, you ask? The CCP propaganda mill otherwise known as The People's Daily. Seriously. I can't make this stuff up if I tried!
