One of our friends in Beijing just forwarded us this list of "Rules of conduct and dress for well-doing residents of China during the Olympic Games," evidently being distributed among the capital's best- and worst-doing citizens. The female rules don't seem too terrible, just your standard high-school dress code sort of business with the odd knock on "fat ankles" thrown in for good measure. But going from what we've seen of Beijing's native males, holding them to their stips might be a bit of a chore."The rules of conduct and dress-code for well-doing resident of China during Olympic Games".During Olympic Games it is strictly forbidden:• Males can not grow hair below eyebrows, ears or collar• To wear pajamas in public.• To roll trouser legs.• To go topless.• To wear white socks with black shoes.• To wear high collar if the neck is short.• Females are not allowed to wear skin skirts, vaporific clothes, not harmonized colors in clothes and combination of more than three different color groups together.• To express love feeling in public.• To debate who will pay a bill.• To make people to drink on banquet.It is ordered to do:• Males should shave every day.• When people stand they should slightly straddle in V shape• To make hairstyles according to age, profession and situation.• Dark stockings should be worn to hide fat ankles• To watch the length of skirt is accorded with age.
