Dan is the prime example of a student who wants to improve his English. He takes notes and was extremely attentive during our session.

    The favourite food for the local people in my hometown- HOT POT China is a huge country and Chinese in different places enjoy different foods. As to my hometown, ChongQing, the southwest city in China, the famous and popular food is hot pot? In my opinion, Hot pot is a culture rather than just a food. When you and your friend go for a hot pot dinner,a big pot of soup filled with spice will be served, keeping be heated. There are more than 40 or 50 kinds of food available. You can order according to your and your friends' favor. When the food are served and the soup are boiling, you can help yourself to choose your favorite food, putting into the pot and heat them. Around one minute later, enjoy your food with some spice in your bowl! Hot pots are popular in all of the four seasons and I regard the food is the best especially for a friends party, eating, drinking, telling joys and etc. Typing these words makes me drooling!!

    首先，不是 抗爹，是 坑（keng）爹 。 这个词是个新词，是最近几年才被广泛使用的。 坑是整人，害人的意义， 爹当然是父亲了，所以，坑爹的原意很简单，就是 整了父亲。 其实是有一些现实生活案例的，比如某某官员的儿子行为不端，后来被曝光出来，害得他的父亲下台甚至坐牢。（当然，这个词含有调侃的味道，而且与民众痛恨腐败的心理有关）。 后来，这个词的使用被拓展了。形容某个人的行为会害到别人（说话的人或者别的人），都可以使用这个词。（在中文语境里面，说自己是别人的父亲，是一种占人便宜的表达。）所以这个词含有占人便宜的意味。

    To Alex:

    Thank you for your comment.

    Your answer has broaden my vision in this issue. Owing to the different cultures, the reason suggested by most Chinese  is that bad things (the tragedy of the black people under slavery) should not be mentioned when you talk to someone who is right involved  even though the tradegy has ended for many years.

     

    by the way, I regard Braveheart as one of my best favourite movie. Inglorious Bastards is also nice ,the  same director, right?

    To Grant:

    Thank you very much for your Comment as well as correcting my mistakes:)

    Your words are helpful, also. Maybe you consider the question is some kind of weird but I deem that many Chinese would raise the same question if they got the chance. However, owing to my pool English skills, I hadn't expressed the question accurately. It would have ben like this "Is it wise to mention the film "Django Unchained" with a black person.

    In our culture background, It's not wise to mention a thing that hurts, even though it has ended for a long time. So I got this question.

    I am really interested in different cultures and your answer helps me a lot.

    Thank you once again. A good day!
