The fun, the strange, and the what-on-earth-is-this? Trending in Beijing is a wrap-up of top stories in Beijing as told by the trending hashtags, local press, and general power of the internet.
Beijing Normal University (BNU) has released a report ranking the most socially responsible cinema stars, movies, and TV shows. Now in its second edition, the research is said to analyze the goodwill of those involved in creating the entertainment and then assigns the individuals and productions a score out of 100. Unfortunately, we only get to see the high achievers and not those who were deemed to have been naughty this year.

On Dec 11, Beijing authorities released statistics (via news.sina.com.cn) on the sub-standard health condition of the city's 22 million urbanites. Since 2013, the three most common health conditions have remained the same: cardiovascular disease, obesity, and having a fatty liver. The number of people defined as overweight or obese increased for both men and women under 60 years old, which the report claims is the result of high-fat diets, work pressure, and a lack of physical activity.
Ever had trouble recruiting volunteers for an event you're organizing? Well, it seems that the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games has the opposite problem. Since opening volunteer registration earlier this month, the organizers announced that they have been inundated with applications, quickly surpassing the required 27,000 volunteers by nearly 20 times. However, they added that the screening process for volunteers will be strict and thorough, so only the best of us shall make it through.
