Features: A Chinese scholar goes to Lund University in Sweden to give lectures on "Chinese Culture and Chinese Cinema." However, his students, with a superficial understanding of China's national conditions and due to the vast differences in concepts between China and the West in ethics, politics, economy, history, and many other aspects, often ask some bizarre questions. At the same time, arguing and causing trouble are their specialty. This the book's engaging style in interpreting the clash between Chinese and Western cultures. Why did Jiaolü Luxiu say he was the son of an old farmer? Did he want to inherit someone else's property? Why did Kong Fansen say his wife to the driver was not "my wife" but "your sister-in-law"? Why did Jiang Zhuoying not rest despite his serious illness and worked until his death? The Red Detachment of Women had beautiful big feet dancing with wild swords and guns, was it trying to show the harmony between sexuality and violence? And if Lei Feng were alive today, what would he be like? Thus, all sorts of strange theories abound, turning the classroom into a battlefield of sharp debates. This is a book that fully demonstrates cunning in its narrative, with its refined and skillful storytelling and brilliant, fresh dialogue, all of which are astonishing. It is witty, playful, humorous, and allows readers to laugh while appreciating the different flavors and connotations of Chinese and Western cultures.
