Baike.com (Chinese: 互动百科; pinyin: Hùdòng Bǎikē), formerly Hudong and Hoodong, is a for-profit social network in China, including the world's largest Chinese encyclopedia/news website. It is China's largest wiki site, using paid advertising, with over 7 million articles and more than 5 million volunteers, as of April 2013. However, Baike.com is a news/neologism encyclopedia, and hence, it does not restrict articles to only long-term, sourced text with balanced point-of-view content. The contributors agree to release their writings with perpetual royalty-free license to publish their content, but it is not free for re-use on other websites. As of September 2015, it had more than 13.49 million articles.
Baike.com was founded in 2005 by CEO Pan Haidong, who had moved back to China after earning a Ph.D. in systems engineering from Boston University in 2002.
Baike.com, a 2007 RedHerring 100 Asia company, developed its own wiki software platform, called HDWiki, as a rival to MediaWiki. The system has some social networking-like interactive features, such as user profile, friends and groups. The first version was released in November 2006 and by November 2007 version 3 with added functions, features, and more stability was released.

The chinese eagles
hide inside my head
i cant stand all the things they said, made me crazy
born into hate never to appreciate
me or you or things i should do
was i ever innocent
little boy lost inside his self
dont know where i can hide
but inside
who will free me?
take it all away
blinded from another day
sparks fly in my closed eyes
as i hide from the demons inside
where will i run tomorrow?
will i soon have footsteps to follow?
can you tell me where is my soul?
guess thats the devils toll
was i ever innocent
little boy lost inside his self
dont know where i can hide
but inside
who will free me?
you dont know who i am
you dont know where ive been
so dont act like you do
