.@SarahMaslinNir Which character or characters indicate "per day"?
The classified ad reads: "Part-time/full-time Xiaogong(waxing license), interns start at $10 per day."pic.twitter.com/YlBD2bXvdP

@LJZigerell find someone Chinese to read it for you. That's what I did. Then I went to the salon 1/2dozen times and asked everyone there. -
@SarahMaslinNir I did before I tweeted. And I checked the ad for the character "tian." - View other replies

@LJZigerell@SarahMaslinNir There's no "tian." But it does refer to "after 3 o'clock," though I'm not certain what that's referring to. -
@danwwang@LJZigerell ad was shocking to me, I thought it was a typo, or perhaps per hour...SO I REPORTED IT OUT &figured out what it meant -
@SarahMaslinNir I think@LJZigerell and I are just not sure where you get "start at $10 per day" from. -
@danwwang@LJZigerell bc I went to the salon 6 times and owner&4 workers clarified. Reporting. It's what we do before we make assertions -
@SarahMaslinNir@LJZigerell Okay, but that's not in the ad, which your tweet presents as a translation. - Show more

@SarahMaslinNir So, the phrase "interns start at" didn't catch your eye? - View other replies

@chasrmartin which amusingly sounds like a regular intern hahah but in fact is an illegal trick to pay an employee less for same job

@SarahMaslinNir@adamgurri Not sure if you're intending this designation, but xiaogong is not "license." It's "small work," i.e. labor. -
@danwwang@SarahMaslinNir Is the translation otherwise correct? -
@adamgurri@SarahMaslinNir It's sort of garbled, I'm not certain, esp. what the $75 is referring to. Take someone else's word for this.

@SarahMaslinNir It's the@SabrinaRErdely school of journalism. 1) Don't actually know anything. 2) Lie. 3) Lie. 4) Make shit up. 5) Lie.
