Chinese poetry

Lately we always seem to end up in a bar just off Lan Kwai Fong called Baby Buddha. It is at the end of a little alley and opens up onto a tiny little temple full of incense. But more importantly, it's where the little lady with the black backpack comes to sell her DVDs.

And the best thing about the DVDs? Not that the selection is HUGE, but that the blurbs on the back of them are absolutely hilarious. See if you can guess what film this is the blurb for. Real poetry...

"The silly person has the silly's person's good fortune, the smart person has smart person's worry... Professor Lawrence bosom Chinese zither bold Germany is that literature great masters typical representative. He has one fully is the wisdom head melon seed, scintillation, in Queen Victoria in the middle of the time literature's domain, is the authority who deserves. Lawrence's this kind individuality when faces in the family and love difficult problem, looks like a baby boy, paced back and forth completely, is chaotic. He has like the sleepwalk this to let the human prepare the feeling confusedly."

Loving it...

Less is more and that is why we say this... I also like its honesty and efficiency. Sometimes I think we should all remain children.
