Sinography-solver Amritas leads you down the garden path toward the real meaning of this actual headline from a Chinese newspaper, and in the process counters a few myths about Chinese characters.

If that's not enough for you, pay a visit to Language Hat's post about a site that lists the most common Chinese characters in order of frequency.
