Shanzhai culture is also a way of non-mainstream entertainment. After the building up of the Bird's Nest, the Olympic stadium, a "Shanzhai"-version "Bird's Nest" made by farmers with bamboo in southwestern China's Chongqing Municipality, attracts wide attention. The building of such a "Shanzhai"-version "Bird's Nest" has nothing to do with money. It's just a way of self-satisfaction, as well as a way of self-entertaining. Although it can never match with the great scale of the authentic version Bird's Nest, it makes people have a sense of proud. Owing to the participation of people, Shanzhai Bird's Nest is not in the shade of the authentic version.
And Shanzhai "Water Cube" is popular with tourists, said the newspaper, which is also a merely copy of the famous Olympics venues in Beijing.
A man from Beijing who repeatedly been rebuffed in his attempts to appear on a popular CCTV academic program, now produces his own "Shanzhai Lecture Room" show on the Internet, in which he holds forth on the heroes of the Song dynasty for a six-hour stretch.
According to a recent report, there were a large number of Shanzhai products on market. Products with bands like "Adidis", "LU", "SAMSONG", "LIKE", are quite commonly seen in our daily life. These brands, with logos, styles, and even materials exactly similar to the original Adidas, LV, SAMSUNG, NIKE, can not make you keep a straight face.
Shanzhai Gala planned do-it-yourself variety show will eschew celebrities, flash and, in some cases, talent. Broadcast only online on the same night as the big TV event, it will feature what common people recorded with handheld cameras or whatever else might be handy. Its overriding theme, says some natives, is "If you can do it, then I can as well."
