I find all this "one world, one dream" stuff a bit sinister. What is the dream exactly? Harmony?

Personally I'd rather live in a slightly chaotic world where people have a variety of dreams.

Xiao Shang:

...well, then go live there, and don't forget to send a postcard from the world "with a variety of dreams".

I think he should stick to his language studies and put his rap career aside for the time being.

I agree with Xiao Shang. How childish can a reply be, Mauro? Are you serious? We're in a world with a variety of dreams right now. The danger is that we'll lose that diversity in the name of "unity" and "harmony". Whose "unity"? Whose "harmony"?

With your unthinking attitude, I'd be amazed if anyone sends you a postcard.

I watched this before bedtime and had some rather strange dreams.

I'd like to live in a variety of worlds and have slightly chaotic dreams.
Which is good, because that's what I do at the moment.

Cute. Cheesy but cute.

Personally I'm more into "One Country, Two Systems"

@xiao shang, The Shanghighroller, Jim,

Your expressed wish is the same. Can we read it as you three have the same dream?

The word "one" in "One Dream", is not the very one, but refers to any good, common one.

PS, that is my own understanding. I represent myself.
PPS, actually there are many worlds, for example, the 1st world, the 2nd world, and 3rd world. Why didn't you complain about the "one world"? Because you know there is "context". So keep your context consistent.

Oh, BTW I think this song is loads better than the heap of shit I had to listen to in a taxi today.

"One world, one dream - tong yige shijie, tong yige mengxiang" just repeated again and again and again.

You know a song is bad when you are bored of it one quarter of the way through.

No offense, i just don't like foreigners who can or who think they can speak fluent Chinese, and sometimes with an accent, it just sounds terrible.

No offense, i just don't like. . . anyone who can or thinks they can speak English, and sometimes with an accent, it just sounds terrible (sic).
Ideally, everyone would speak English with my accent; better yet, with the same voice pitch and timbre of my accent. Yes, that would be pleasant.

Yang Ying:

Although I am a Chinese-speaking foreigner, I have the same feeling. The guy in the video just seems kind of cocky.

Cheesy,cute but cheesy.

Doesn't it seem rather strange to have a problem with a foreigner for their accent while so many 'Chinese' speak substandard mandarin?
:好好说普通话，方便你我他。" Isn't written on buses for cocky foreigners.

Another video that features Chris reading from a book of Chinese tongue twisters is kind of funny, but I was a little disappointed with his ode to Sexy Beijing's 苏菲.
Chris_vs_Sofie
It could have been done much better if he had made humorous references to more specific Sexy Beijing videos and included a question for popular character "Smacker" as well.
By the way, Chris has his very own "Smacker" in Zhengzhou who he engages in an amusing "Question and Answer" video:

Yang Ying: "No offense, i just don't like foreigners who can or who think they can speak fluent Chinese"

-- No offense, I just don't like Chinese or any other non native English speakers who are able to speak English. I especially hate it when they are able to write, sometimes with poor grammer. Nothing ticks me off more than people who try to communicate in a language that isen't their own!

China is the only country I have ever been in where people will laugh in surprise when a foreigner speaks their language or insist on remaining mute or waving their hands or saying "No Engrish" for a good minute before they realize you are speaking their mother tongue. I'm never surprised when I am in my own country and someone speaks my language. It's the most natural place in the world to hear it. I once spent twenty minutes trying to explain to a Chinese friend why my Chinese-American friend was able to speak such perfect English. This is not the same friend who once told me we would never be able to speak each others' languages (i.e., English and Chinese), not because we were already adults when we started trying, but because there was some (presumably genetic) difference in the construction of our mouths. A former coworker would only every answer me in English, no matter how many times I would speak to her in Chinese, even in front of other coworkers who needed to understand what we were saying and could only understand me (because I was the one speaking Chinese). She would then translate her own English monologues for their benefit. A friend of mine told me about a time when she went on CCTV and the Chinese script she was supposed to read was intentionally littered with mistakes because they thought it would be cute. Why so protective? The world is globalizing, or rather has been for hundreds of years. Get over it.

But that is totally off topic. On-topic: Chris Wip is cheesy but I kind of dig the hill billy accent.

I just assumed that the one dream is world peace. I can live with that.

I hate it that the second a foreigner speaks Chinese, people assume he wants to show off. Are the Chinese on this discussion forum showing off when they write English? Language ability is the most boring show on earth, it's the content that's important.

And P.S. if anyone in any language refuses to speak their mother tongue with you, tell them they're being rude.

Chris:

It wasn't speaking Chinese that struck me (a Chinese-speaking foreigner) as cocky, it was the fawning, vapid lyrics of the song.

William,

I wasn't directing the comment to you heh, it was for the "I hate foreigners who think they can speak Chinese" guy, as if foreigners only speak Chinese to show off but in fact don't know anything.

As for being cocky, I don't see anything wrong with being cocky if one has skill, but the reason I made this video was in response to people attacking me for being reconciliatory and moderate in my views towards China, not to show off my skills. My cocky video is this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hioyUXRfk0A

Anyways, this one IS a sappy video, but I stand by what it says: no one in the world hopes for war, and that's what I see as our "one dream". If the extremists on either sides of the arguments concerning China win out, that's what we're going to have in 20 years guaranteed.
