A woman in Arizona said she made a stunning discovery inside a new purse she bought at a Walmart: A note apparently written by a desperate prisoner in China.
Laura Wallace found the message, written in Chinese, tucked inside the zipper compartment of the purse she purchased at a Sierra Vista Walmart, KVOA reported.

“”That woman would have never known where that purse was going to be sold. Most stores in the US sell Chinese made stuff.
In fact, this may all be a big hoax.””
Oh, of course. There are no slave labourers in China. They all get paid $15 an hour and they work 8 hours a day. They get two hours for lunch and four 20 minute breaks.
I didn’t say that n00b, you did.
You sound like a big ole lib.
You fell into the same thing another person did. I made no comment about the plight of Chinese workers. I made no comment about the content of this note. I find the timing of this note somewhat suspect. I did not claim that it was a hoax, I claimed it could be.
Does that clear a little up for you? Reread my original post.
That's basically my favorite video clip of all time...
Yes
I see your point. I simply made a statement that the mistreatment of Chinese workers is not a hoax.
We’re on the same page.
Once upon a time Wal-Mart prided itself on carrying American-made goods. I sat through a commencement speech in 1985 the gist of which was: “Shop at Wal-Mart because they stock American-made products.” Those days are long gone.
The last line in the article was chilling:
“Similar notes reportedly have turned up in items sold at stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue and K-Mart in the past.”
More than 27 years after the incident, there is no reliable information about the identity or fate of the man; the story of what happened to the tank crew is also unknown...
But there are some very grim photos, he may not have survived.

We also turned our back on Chiang Kia-shek.
Where on that link/page are the photos?
I didn't see any reference to Walmart in the translation of the note. It seemed to be a "message in a bottle".
prisoner? That’s like a PC way of saying slave. It sounds so much better to the Walmart shoppers.
and on Ho Chi Minh. and for the French no less.
When I was working at a hospital here, we would get donations for bingo prizes for patients. I remember a little keychain with a cedar wood fob which said, “Get us out of here!” on it.
The locally made key chains came from a ranch here....later exposed as a slave ranch where the owner would lure hitchhikers, and vagrants with a job offer, then enslave, torture and murder them. I always wondered about the fate of that keychain maker. Still do.
Anyone remember the Ellebracht Slave Ranch?
The one at the top is still there?

Not finding the one of distinct human remains over run by a tank.
China will never change as long as they are able to keep operating as they are doing.
It works both ways. For years I’ve been taping notes like this to the back of land deeds going to China.
When I buy well made things made in China, I often silently thank the worker for doing an excellent job while living and working In such dreadful conditions often hundreds of miles from their families and friends.
