Before we go, let's have a look at what's trending across China.

Sometimes, pearls of Chinese wisdom appear in the least likely places. And in this case, a subway station in London. For 14 years, customer services manager Anthony Gentles, and later his successor after his retirement, put up daily inspirational quotes, including from his favorite book, Dao De Jing, a key text in Taoism.

The creature, which had fangs and eight legs, lived some 100 million years ago. And as if that weren't scary enough, the bug also had a whip-like tail -- just like a scorpion.
