Collection Of Absurd & Ridiculous Books Published In China

A Chinese netizen recently posted a list of 20 ridiculous books published in China and feature either absurd subjects or humorous titles.

Considering China is one of the largest book publishers in the world, there must be a market for everything, especially for fine works such as How to Beat Your Kids and Only Socialism Can Save America.

Couple’s Method for Vital Cultivation, Qigong Therapy for the Bedroom
Note: Most likely related to Taoist sexual practices.

How to Recognize Yellow Songs
Note: “Yellow” can mean “pornographic＂ or ＂lewd” in certain instances.

The Road to Being a Successful Sanlu Person
Note: Sanlu was the disgraced milk manufacturer in the 2008 milk scandal.

The Method of Yin Yang Wall Suction Climbing
Note: Refers to a Taoist martial arts technique. Unfortunately, the 壁 bi (wall) in 吸壁功 (xi bi gong, literally “suck wall ability/method”) sounds like 屄 bi (vagina/cunt), so this title becomes “Yin Yang Cunt Sucking Ability” or “The Method of Yin Yang Cunt Sucking”.

Asia Rises
Note: Chinese translation of “Asian Aphrodisiacs”. 勃起 bo qi, can also be read as “Asia Erection”.

How to Become a Buddha

How to Write Better than Guo Jingming
Note:Guo Jingming is a popular author discovered to have plagiarized several of his works.

Asshole Culture
Note: A Chinese translation of the French “Stories of the Butt”.

Only Socialism Can Save America

How to Dispose of the Ashes of Those You Hate

Anthology of Heroes Shooting Airplanes
Note: 打飞机 (da fei ji, literally “shooting/attacking airplane”) is a euphemism for male masturbation, so the title can be read as “Masturbation Hero Anthology” or “Anthology of Masturbating Heroes”.
