According to Hanwang statistics, as of 24 March 2010, this thread had been viewed over 34 million times; see http://www.hanminzu.com/bbs/stats.php?type=threadsrank. Please note that unfettered access to Hanwang and other Hanist websites is highly variable. I note where threads on Hanwang and elsewhere on the Chinese internet are no longer available (or at least, not under the original URL), but still provide the URL where I originally accessed the information.
