This video circulated on the Chinese internet recently before its predictable pulling. Created by a young group of videographers in China. It depicts Kuang-kuang, a character of theirs, falling asleep and dreaming/ fantasizing of a past and future. (WARNING: this is not a children's cartoon, there is lots of blood, mayhem, and dying cartoon bunnies.) Make sure the in-video comments are on to view the English translations.
The interesting points of this video are a few. First that it was made and posted at all, and that it was able to survive for even a short time without being taken down on a Chinese video sharing site. (It has been long since pulled, but was up long enough that even I, who is pretty slow to notice trends, was able to view it on Youku.)
Second it manages to touch upon a number of sensitive, current trends and topics going around the Chinese internet. The first and most obvious, is the tainted milk scandal, which I discussed earlier today. In the video a truck bearing the name of a "Sanhu" (Three Tigers) distributes poisoned milk. "Sanhu" sounds an awful lot like "Sanlu", and no Chinese person could miss the reference.

This guy is a not a little bit persistent.
