[quote=HAWAIIMIKE,510246]There is a great story online, can't recall where I read it, about an expat who lived in Beijing was walking down the street with a Chinese neighbor, a business fellow, when a street cleaner came up and started chatting to them, uninvited, but polite. The businessman put on airs and shoo'd the cleaner away. The expat however stayed nearby as the businessman walked off. He talked with the cleaner, only to find he was very well versed in Chinese classic poetry. This went on. Long story short, the cleaner had moved to Beijing specifically so he could study and orally perform classic Chinese poetry! It's a great story.[/quote]
