This article is wonderful in many ways:
The title: "Kiss of Deaf"?! What a morbid pun!
The subtitle: "A young Chinese woman was left partially deaf following a passionate kiss from her boyfriend"--it's good that they mentioned it was her boyfriend, at least we know they were in a committed relationship (really--why do I care about this story at all, not to mention that particular fact?).
The first line: "The 20-something from Zhuhai in Guangdong province..."--this line varies between vagueness and overly specific detail.
Second line: really?!, there were local media warnings about the dangers of excessive kissing?! I really wish that they'd translated some of these ads!
Third line: at least they acknowledged that kissing is normally quite safe.
The rest of the article: some rather gross explanation of what happened to her ear.

That must have been one sucky kiss! (Note: the article says her eardrum was pulled in by lower air pressure in her mouth from the kiss.)
Is this the outcome of pursuing relationships in the communist manner? Wonder if Marx saw this one coming...
I'm fairly certain that Mao and Stalin (neither of whom was a very good Marxist) disagreed on the question of the proper communist attitude to dating at the Sino-Russian Peoples' Party Congress Conference in 1951; it's one of the many factors that led to the later break between the two countries.
