A little wrath unleashed on someone who's done you wrong can be ever so pleasurable!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for introducing the term. Enjoy the blog immensely, having arrived now late via China Law Blog. <BR/><BR/>BTW: the last syllable of "search" has a typo in the article: sou instead of suo. If you want to go all the way in following pinyin conventions, you could parse the words, add tones, and end up with rénròu sōusuǒ :^)syzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14002527820798386426noreply@blogger.com
