Nanjing ( listen; Chinese: 南京, "Southern Capital") is the city situated in the heartland of drainage area of lower reaches of Yangtze River in China, which has long been a major centre of culture, education, research, politics, economy, transport networks and tourism. It is the capital city of Jiangsu province and the second largest city in East China, with a total population of 8,216,100 and legally the capital of Republic of China which lost the mainland during the civil war. The city whose name means "Southern Capital" has a prominent place in Chinese history and culture, having served as the capitals of various Chinese dynasties, kingdoms and republican governments dating from the 3rd century CE to 1949. Prior to the advent of pinyin romanization, Nanjing's city name was spelled as Nanking or Nankin. Nanjing has a number of other names, and some historical names are now used as names of districts of the city, and among them there is the name Jiangning (江寧), whose former character Jiang (江, River) is the former part of the name Jiangsu and latter character Ning (寧, simplified form 宁, Peace) is the short name of Nanjing. When being the capital of a state, for instance, ROC, Jing (京) is adopted as the abbreviation of Nanjing. Although as a city located in southern part of China becoming Chinese national capital as early as in Jin dynasty, the name Nanjing was designated to the city in Ming dynasty, about a thousand years later. Nanjing is particularly known as Jinling (金陵, literally meaning Gold Mountain) and the old name has been used since the Warring States Period in Zhou Dynasty.
"The Man" is a slang phrase that may refer to the government or to some other authority in a position of power. In addition to this derogatory connotation, it may also serve as a term of respect and praise.
The phrase "the Man is keeping me down" is commonly used to describe oppression. The phrase "stick it to the Man" encourages resistance to authority, and essentially means "fight back" or "resist", either passively, openly or via sabotage.
As a phrase meaning "the boss" it dates from at least 1918.
In the Southern U.S. states, the phrase came to be applied to any man or any group in a position of authority, or to authority in the abstract. From about the 1950s the phrase was also an underworld code word for police, the warden of a prison or other law enforcement or penal authorities.
The use of this term was expanded to counterculture groups and their battles against authority, such as the Yippies, which, according to a May 19, 1969 article in U.S. News and World Report, had the "avowed aim ... to destroy 'The Man', their term for the present system of government". The term eventually found its way into humorous usage, such as in a December 1979 motorcycle ad from the magazine Easyriders which featured the tagline, "California residents: Add 6% sales tax for The Man."
A Man (1979) (Italian: Un Uomo) (Greek: Ένας Άνδρας, transliteration: Enas Andras) is a novel written by Oriana Fallaci chronicling her relationship with the attempted assassin of Greek dictator George Papadopoulos.
The book is a pseudo-biography about Alexandros Panagoulis written in the form of a novel. Fallaci had an intense romantic relationship with Panagoulis. She uses the novel to put forth her view that Panagoulis was assassinated by a vast conspiracy, a view widely shared by many Greeks.
The work has had mixed reviews. Some will find the harsh polemic repetitive and disturbing. Fallaci is said to have been angry at Ms Magazine for not reviewing the work and this enhanced her reputation as an anti-feminist.
"Don't help me then, hand me over to the police, what's the use anyway--"
"Of suffering, fighting? It allows us to live, my boy. A man who gives in doesn't live, he survives."

Man crushed to death at Nanjing station after walking in front of train to reach platform
A man was killed after being struck by a train at Nanjing rail station in Jiangsu Province last Sunday. The man crossed the tracks just as the train was approaching. The driver immediately stopped, but the man was left trapped between the train and the platform. A team of firefighters and doctors arrived at the scene immediately and tried to save the man. Unfortunately, after two hours the man died from excessive bleeding. According to local media, the man intended to cross over to another platform so he jumped on the tracks, but the train pulled into the station before he could climb onto the opposite side.

Go here for the full version: http://bit.ly/2oxpcOU NANJING, CHINA — A foolish man made the fatal mistake of crossing between railway platforms as an oncoming train was pulling into the station. He died a slow death after being caught between the train and the platform. On March 26, commuters awaiting their train noticed the man hop off one platform, and walk over to the next. The man must not have noticed the massive train coming toward him, and though he managed to get the top half of his body on the platform, his bottom half didn’t make it in time, and he was crushed. Miraculously, he did not die, and could only wail in agony as others called for help. Firemen raced over with a jackhammer to try to drill the man out and pull him to safety, but by the time he was loose, the damage w...

A man got trapped between a high-speed train and the platform at Nanjing South Railway Station, but tragically could not be rescued in time. According to Shanghaiist, commuters had seen the victim walking slowly in front of a train as he tried to reach the platform when the fatal accident occurred. Rescuers quickly arrived on scene in an attempt to free him, by using a jackhammer to drill away the station platform around him. A video circulating online shows how people can be heard telling the man to "keep breathing" and "don't sleep". Despite everyone's best efforts, he slowly lost conscious and was crushed to death. A doctor pronounced him dead at the scene. It is unclear why the man was walking on the train tracks to begin with.

We visit Nanjing, China to film the 20th episode of the Traveling for 20 Dollars a Day series. We ate tons of street food, hung out with locals, and thanks to Raven, my local friend and guide, we learned some local Nanjing dialect and uncovered hidden gems throughout the city. Also, Curtis is back! -----( $20 USD = 138 RMB )----- We met at Zhongshan Wharf (中山码头) and took the ferry to Pukou District(the oldest district in Nanjing).
