I just watched that video on the Chinese folding techinque and I really don't get it. Can you please explain it to me step-by-step (in english please). I never really understood it. Did they cut something out?
NOTHING INAPROPRIATE PLEASE!

Nah they didnt cut anything out. Ok follow this:
Step 1 : Lay the shirt flat out on a flat surface.
Step 2 : Find a point approximately in between the collar and the end of the sleeve (the end of the sleeve meaning the side resting on your shoulder instead of the other side which is on your bicep)
Step 3 : Pinch that point with ur thumb and index finger.
Step 4 : Find another point which is DIRECTLY below the above point and is approximately in the middle length of the shirt.
Step 5 : Pinch this point too. (so you alr have two pinched points)
Step 6 : Take the first point and bring it over to the opposite side (think of your second point as a line of symmetry ; so it'll look like your halving the shirt.
Step 7 : Pinch this third point (so now the fingers holding the first point originally are now pinching both first and second point)
Step 8 : Pull both hands away (so that they pass each other)
Step 9: Still keeping both hands on the shirt, now just folding the remaining or hanging side in
Hope this helps you. I tried my best to explain it detailed. Took me a while though lol.

There is another video n yahoo that shows how to fold it in English. Just go to the how to video section and its on the bottom of the first page or second page, just look and find out. I watched on August 26, 2006.

Just remember that the shirt starts flat out in front of you, face-up but upside-down, and that you can alternate sides easily as long as one hand pinches the shoulder in front of it to start each fold.
Then all you're really doing is folding the shirt over your other hand to pinch the hem, pinching the fold, and straightening your arms. Fold the other side over as you put it down, and you're done!

Are you sure you are looking for a CHINESE folding art?
Or do you mean ORIGAMI, the JAPANESE art of paper folding ?
If the last, just google the word "origami" and you'll get a wealth of information.
Enjoy!

Ancient Chinese Proverb:
One video worth thousand words.
I watched the same video and refolded all my shirts, the technique is a snap. What's your problem?

I watched it too and all I have to say is that you have to watch it several times to get it right
