Feeling Wise After Saying Bonjour
How I feel after saying Bonjour to the Japanese waitress
An animated clip shows an elderly Chinese sage in traditional robes calmly writing calligraphy. The caption jokes that saying the French “Bonjour” to a Japanese waitress makes the speaker feel profoundly cultured and wise; the solemn image and dramatic Chinese song exaggerate the trivial social interaction. Fei Yu-Ching’s “A Branch of Plum Blossom” gives the moment a grand, nostalgic, mock-epic feeling. EN: An animated clip shows an elderly Chinese sage in traditional robes calmly writing calligraphy.
