RUDDD User ID: 1213653 United Kingdom 01/02/2011 12:55 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Re: Why do nearly all Chinese people throw up a "V" sign in photographs? I always assumed it was to do with the Lennon/Yoko Bed protest against the War, Vietnam being annihalated by war at the time. And China suffering (and still so) from Suppression.

But to Change and Be and Do and dissolve both the subject of my person and the object of my God into the fluency of Empirical Providence. The Way, the Truth, and the Life."

Hi, It is the sign of happiness and it is only for Asian people. We European, when we want to show happiness, we smile and do something like Chinese eyes. What can they do to show a little bit more than ordinary smile? I hope you got it now ;-)

It is slang for the Chinese charicter Ansage (or something prounounced like that). Loosely transalted it means "we took your jobs--ha ha", or something to that effect. In chinese it looks like like a V with the rest of the fingers curled. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1212162 LOL. And who said Russians couldn't create comedy.

It's just lemming mentality. Someone started doing it, it caught on, and now everyone is doing it. Like how most Western girls make a fish face to the camera.
