    <title>A new movement has started - Dashan Leave China</title>
    <summary> Dashan is a guy that tends to polarise people - either they don&apos;t mind him, or they think he&apos;s a sellout/dork/should know better. Many people have blogged about DaShan before, and well, I&apos;m not going to waste a lot...</summary>

<br />  <a href="http://www.dashan.com/" title="Dashan - Good guy or bad guy?">Dashan</a> is a guy that tends to polarise people - either they don't mind him, or they think he's a sellout/dork/should know better.  <a href="http://yellowfrog.gimpe.com/index.php/archives/2005/05/10/dashan-got-ca10-million-from-canadas-sponsorship-program/" title="YellowFrog on DaShan">Many people</a> have <a href="http://www.sinosplice.com/weblog/archives/2003/02/18/dashan" title="Sinosplice on Dashan...">blogged</a> about <a href="http://www.20six.co.uk/duprie/archive/2004/04/24/dfs0w8y3ex0t.htm" title="Life of a rat weblog - on DaShan">DaShan</a> before, and well, I'm not going to waste a lot of time putting in my 2 cents.  But I will comment on the lengths to which some people have stretched to so to vent their frustration.
</p><p>
I came across <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/dashan-leave-china/" title="Flickr Groups - Dashan Leave China!">this group</a> while I was searching for Shanghai images on <a href="http://www.flickr.com/" title="Flickr">flickr</a> (my new online obsession - Linda will agree).  I can see that there's an untapped groundswell out there and this small group may act as a focal point for public frustration.  They need photos of Dashan, so help to contribute if possible...
</p><p>
Here's the gist of their cause...
</p><blockquote>
Bag on the bottom right features the image of my sworn and mortal enemy, the evil Canadian, Da Shan ("Big Mountain.") Canada gave China the Hero Doctor Norman Bethune, but everything in life balances out so they also sent Da Shan. I am thinking of starting an Anti-Da Shan group on Flickr. Anyone interested?
</blockquote><p>
So go check it out!
