ZHENGZHOU, China -- At first, the Web site director and his schoolteacher wife sent their 5-year-old son to a Confucian school in this central Chinese city simply because it was two minutes from home.

No, actually in my hometown Zhengzhou there is a similar but smaller building.

According to the China News Service, in Beijing, Guangzhou and Zhengzhou, the number of school lingerers is up to tens of thousands.

Said another netizen from Zhengzhou, in Henan province: "Life is so fragile when facing natural disasters.

Far too many multinationals focus excessively on selling in Shanghai and Beijing, when the real growth markets are cities like Chongqing and Zhengzhou.
