I used to live in Changchun! Not the best circumstances in which to be reminded of it, but it's still exciting. You don't hear about it often.

There are many other things you wouldn't hear about in mainland China, such as the Tiananmen Square massacre, Uyghur genocide etc.

There is enough anti Chinese propaganda on the media. We don't need this quiz.
