 Ha,ha...I believe the Chinese blogger did not mean any disrespect, the actual meaning of "old man" in its original form was certainly lost in translation. In Chinese honorifics, the term (qiánbèi): literally "you who belong to an older generation" is added when addressing someone who is older and seen as more knowledgeable and wiser. It is a polite and respectful way of addressing someone who is older than you in the Chinese culture as well as in the Japanese culture.

"Too silly! What we need is..."
I have a funny feeling that Mr Gilliam and co. may have underestimated the eventual freedoms of the Chinese people who are hopefully taking all this in good spirit.  |

Already taken in good spirit by "yours truly". I have noticed before how younger Chinese people are respectful toward older people as we have a Chinese population in Barnsley. One day while shopping at the Co-op a Chinese woman stopped to let me pass, so she must have thought me older than her. However, our "ladies before gentlemen" tradition caused a little confusion... Actually, I feel a lot safer amongst Chinese people in the UK than I do amongst our own people! (unless I know them of course) |

Getting old sucks, but the alternative sucks even more!

I'm joking only. Better, the Monthy Pythons are joking to.
