I am not going to go in-depth about a full-length HK doujin about two motorcycling buddies riding on each other's trust, no matter how touching it is at the start when one of them got paralysed waist-down.
Though sometimes I wonder if females have a greater ability to create more touching stories, but I find that fujoshis simply abused their natural abilities for the sake of entertainment. Guess we can only blame Hollywood for the idea of popular media - apparently BL is starting to become a popular genre on its own.

Decline of entrepreneurship blamed for Japan woes:
"Worn out and resigned to its dwindling status, Japan Inc. is said to be quietly shuffling off the world stage. But don't tell that to Kenji Hasegawa, who is ready to conquer the global auto market with his nifty innovation, a bolt that doesn't need a nut. Or Chiaki Hayashi, who makes millions teaching big-name companies to be creative again. As different as they seem — Hasegawa runs auto-parts supplier Lock'n Bolt Corp. and Hayashi is a rare woman to help found a Tokyo startup — both highlight the potential of innovation and entrepreneurship in a nation that is often typecast as facing an unrelenting decline."

Our government forbids that unless it has a taxable commercial value. Our parents forbid that because you don't earn much money to feed them until it gets licensed. And the people around us forbid that because it makes you more special than them. Ever wondered why we have to rely so much on foreign investors to be sustainable and profitable? This is pathetic. There has to be a agreement by our education system to encourage lateral and critical thinking instead of just fearfully sidetracking it for the sake of social stability; creative people don't question the government and create revolutions - they have better things to built and invent for fun than to meddle in retarded petty politics. If we did that we didn't have to rearrage Lady Gaga's song for our National Day.

I wouldn't exactly say Leninist - it degraded from benevolent dictatorship > complacent dictatorship > bureaucratic dictatorship. I don't even know if I can make 3 meals per day for my family 10 years down the road when they suppress both wages and entrepreneurship at the same time and let transport/telecom oligarches get away with discommunication/scapegoat-the-grunt in their companies.
At least we burned a witch. Though the damage she caused isn't fixed yet thanks to natural law of Engineering 101 (it takes more to fix something than to build it). Right now this place looks like it is run by a workman who overslept.
