A comedy in which Da Shan tells the story of his mentor Jiang Kun's attempt at learning English. His mentor learned " How much? " in the airplane in three syllable "hǎo", "me " and "chī". Then later in Canada he made many mistakes in a shop with this sentence. He said at first:" chī háo le me?", which means in Chinese " Have you eaten something?", which was also a common greetingsword before. Then he changed the order of the words, but he made only more mistakes. In the end he said Byebye in Japanese, cause he didn´t want to lose face as Chinese.
