patriotic rubdown at martyrs monument

Two hundred masseuses march to the centre of Nanning, Guangxi Province, gather round the martyrs monument and swear eternal opposition to Tibetan independence:

The representative said the bloody battles fought by those revolutionary martyrs made it possible for China to reach its current state, and for people to live such rich lives. But today, a small group of Tibetan independence activists have set themselves up against the Chinese people and are dead-set at breaking apart the motherland.

Social cohesion, innit?

And no, “masseuses” doesn’t mean what you think it does. I don’t know if they were blind though, as masseurs traditionally are in China.
