New Tricks in Producing and Selling Fakes
YEARBOOK OF WHO’S WHO OF CHINA 2014
一个极具讽刺意味的造假例子进入我们的视野。这里有一本不为人知却名头很大的印刷品《中国人物年鉴》( 国际标准刊号:ISSN1008-1771),里面刊出了1000多个中国知名人士,从政治领袖到阶下囚,只要你有名,无差别收录。一般来说,都是因为某某人出名,将他收录进去,但是有些情况下,这份印刷品的主管部门:中国农业机械科学化研究院——一个专门研究拖拉机和农田喷淋系统的机构,也会在无法察觉的情况下,放入一些“加塞者”。比如这位现已57岁早年演滑稽戏的男人,后为澳大利亚中文小电台主持人Rechard Lu (junhong Lu),在主动承诺认购1500本标价为人民币300元一册的《2014中国人物年鉴》后,编辑部欣然将其列入众多名流之后。为获得一个更加令人信服的显示位次,在Rechard Lu (junhong Lu)追加认购1000本之后,他的名字和简介被安放在了华裔著名电影导演Ang Lee之前,Lee是史上第一位于奥斯卡奖、英国电影学院奖以及金球奖三大世界性电影颁奖礼上夺得最佳导演的华人导演。
Let’s see a rather ironic example about counterfeiting. There is an unknown presswork but of great reputation, Yearbook of Who’s Who of China (ISSN: ISSN1008-1771), in which more than 1,000 Chinese celebrities from political leaders to prisoners have been included without any difference as long as they are well-known. Generally speaking, people are included mainly because they are famous. But in some cases, the competent department of this presswork: Chinese Academy of Agricultural Mechanization Sciences, an organization specializes in studying tractor and farmland spray system, may also include some “queue jumpers” in an undetectable way. For instance, Richard Lu (Junhong Lu), a 57-year-old man who acted in low comedies and later worked as the host of a small Chinese radio in Australia, initiatively promised to subscribe 1,500 copies of Yearbook of Who’s Who of China 2014 the bid price of which was CNY300, and then the editorial department included him into the book after many celebrities readily. In order to obtain a more compellent ranking, Richard Lu subscribed extra 1,000 books. Therefore, his name and introduction was put before the famous film director Ang Lee, who was the first ethnic Chinese that won the title of best director in three worldwide film award ceremonies: Academy Award, British Academy Film Awards and Golden Globe Award, respectively.
Richard Lu
从不名一文到蜚声国际,Rechard Lu的购书账单金额高达人民币¥750,000元($109,000 USD),一个对大陆中国人来说目瞪口呆,对游走海外的华裔新移民来说不值一提的数字。这25000本《2014中国人物年鉴》的实际付款方,是开户于圣乔治银行(ST GEORGE BANK)的澳洲东方传媒弘扬佛法慈善机构(AUSTRALIA ORIENTAL MEDIA BUDDHIST CHARITY ASSOCIATION),一个募集了众多好心人慈善款的资金募集组织,其法人恰好就是Rechard Lu。而最令人值得深思的是,收款方实际上只收到了购书款人民币¥250,000元,至于另外的¥500,000元,恐怕只有上帝本人才知道。
The bill amount of the books purchased by Richard Lu who became famous worldwide from an unknown overnight was up to CNY 750,000 (109,000 USD), an enormous figure for mainland Chinese but negligible to overseas ethnic Chinese. The actual payer of these 25,000 copies of Yearbook of Who’s Who of China 2014 was Australia Oriental Media Buddhist Charity Association with its account established in St George Bank. This is a capital raising organization collecting charity fund from many well-wishers, the legal person of which is exactly Richard Lu. But what’s most worth further consideration is that, the payee only actually received CNY 250,000 for payment of books. Perhaps only God knows where the remaining CNY500,000 goes to.
一个研发农机具的研究机构,一本名单可以肆意调整的名人录,一个演过滑稽戏又当电台主持的老男人,一个资金可以随便挪用的慈善机构,一笔不知去向的大额钱款,一套彻头彻尾的造假产业链,一条见不得光的洗钱之路。
What we have seen is a research institution specialized in developing agricultural implements, a list of celebrities that could be willfully adjusted, an old man who acted in low comedies and also worked as the radio host, a charity organization in which fund could be casually embezzled, a large amount of money that disappeared without a trace, a dye-in-the-wood counterfeit industry chain, and an unpresentable way of money laundering.
