Trouble in Tongli Studio: “give our hard-earned money back!”

beijing boyce bars blog tongli studio protest signs-

Spotted these signs about 20 minutes ago attached to Cosmo Lounge, just in front of Cosmo Hot Dog, outside Tongli Studio. The one on the right basically has “give our hard-earned money back!” in Chinese. I asked The Village Grouch for a translation of the other. Here is his take:

Tong Li, give back our sweat blood [hard-earned] money / Who will uphold justice?  / Give back the peasants’ and workers’ hard-earned money
