New York Times Field Report on JLM Grinding Dance Hall
Financial crisis changed dancing floor to trading floor
Dec 15, 8:45 AM (ET)
By BOB LOVEN
Chongqing, China (AP) Ever since the national holiday week early October, more and more local pretties have been flooding to JLM Grinding Dance Hall, which used to be a lower class joint where poor countryside girls and old ladies got paid to dirty dance with poor single men either local or also from the countryside.
The pretties seem to come from their decent daytime jobs such as life insurance companies, name-brand Western restaurants, and the likes. Most of them would not tell you exactly why they suddenly come to such a shabby place because none wants to lose her face to confess she got laid off or the man kepting her discontinued the monthly allowance.
One thing is for sure, however, that they all need money, quick money, especially for the Chinese Christmas coming in later January.
More than one of them told the reporter that they found an article online talking about "Ten Beauties at JLM" by Mingdian so that they knew what is going on inside JLM before they walked into the "danger place".
Many of them have their personal "NO TOUCHING" dance policy either because they do not think they are the same as those dirty dancers or because they want to make a deal before they accept some "REAL TOUCHING".
Indeed, the floor becomes deserted much sooner than before possibly because a market would certainly close sooner if there are lot of good bargains.
The government media has been warning people that the financial crisis would get worse and worse at least for another year or two. Therefore, the youngsters who used to live from paycheck to paycheck may have to start saving some money for the long winter.
On the otherhand, the local single men seem to have their revenge to laid the pretties they could not even dream of just few months ago due to Chinese pretties' boosted material apetite in this economically polarized country.
