			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some months ago, my friend <a href="http://twitter.com/elliottng">Elliott Ng</a> from the U.S <a title="Lost" href="http://www.awflasher.com/blog/archives/1329" hreflang="zh-CN">asked</a> me what Chinese LOST fans are thinking/discussing about LOST. I promised to post something here, and as the season 5 is now finished, I think it's time to share something here with you western LOST fans.</p>
<p>The easiest way to know what Chinese LOST fans are thinking about is to analysis the polls held by hot LOST forums in China. I collected some data from <a href="http://sfile.ydy.com" hreflang="zh-CN">ydy.com</a>, <a href="http://1000fr.com" hreflang="zh-CN">1000fr.com</a>, <a href="http://yyets.net" hreflang="zh-CN">yyets.net</a>(Some very popular online forums on foreign, mainly American TV series in China) and some of my friends, shared the results as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>Most Chinese LOST fans are male, 18-25. Few of the fans are under 18 or over 30. </li>
<li>Most Chinese fans think that Kate (42.29%) and Shannon (31.45%) are the most attractive women in LOST. Though Sun is the only main Asian character in LOST, she just got 14.67% votes. Polls held on some other small forums show that there're also a lot of Juliet fans. </li>
<li>Most Chinese fans hate Michael and Ana Lucia after SEASON 2. In a vote named &quot;Who do you hate most&quot;, Michael (45.98%) and Ana Lucia(20.28%) got the most votes. Ben Linus only got 0.8% votes - I think that's due to the date of the poll (2006). </li>
<li>Most Chinese fans think that Sawyer(54.83%) is the most attractive man in LOST. </li>
<li>95.59% of Chinese fans think that Ben Linus is cleverer than Charles Widmore. </li>
<li>93.81% of Chinese fans prefer to watch the original TV (with subtitles) rather than a dubbed one. </li>
<li>In a poll named &quot;Which one will Kate choose&quot;, Sawyer got 51.37%, Jack got 34.91% and the rest (13.72%) think that Kate would choose neither. </li>
<li>In a poll named &quot;Who is the key people in LOST&quot;, John Locke got 35.39% in a lead, then are Jack (18.86%) and Walt(15.03%). Ben got very few votes. </li>
<li>In a poll named &quot;Who do you want to stay with on that island&quot;, Jack got 70% FTW. </li>
<li>Most Chinese fans would NOT push the button when the count down reaches the end if they were the LOSTies. </li>
<li>Most Chinese fans think Locke or Ben should be the leader. The reason for Locke is &quot;He never complained to others&quot; while the reason for Ben is &quot;He always has a plan&quot;. </li>
<li>72.8% of Chinese fans think that Ben killed John for some unknown reasons. 7% think that Ben is just for stealing the information from John. </li>
</ul>
<p>Though with lots of participators, those results above are the polls since 2005. They should represent the most condition here in China, especially for the past years but not for the current condition and the future. As the TV series goes on, there are lots of new comments on this series. For example, after the Jacob finally appeared in the Season 5 finale, there were also a lot of comments saying that LOST is just another story of &quot;神仙打架，百姓遭殃&quot; (Gods fight, human disaster). And more and more fans started to doubt that the writer of LOST would never explain his show gracefully on a scientific basis.</p>
<p>Though I've been attracted by LOST for so much, I have to admit that Prison Break in China is much more popular than LOST. I don't know why. Maybe most Chinese people love stories like the Shawshank Redemption - They are restricted/censored too much to be so non-<a title="harmonized society in China" href="http://www.ifgogo.com/254/harmonious-society-tee-from-china/">harmonized</a>:)</p>
<p>However, there are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's eyes, just enjoy the show for yourself :)</p>
