Foreigner Loses it at Sanya Airport

Foreigner Loses it at Sanya Airport
Mar 20, 2013 By eChinacities.com

These kinds of stories are never good to see, especially considering last year’s crackdown following a supposed rape of Chinese girl by a British guy  in Beijing in May last year. Still, this one has certain comic value to it due to the foreigner’s…interesting style of Chinese let’s say. On March 19, a video appeared on Youku depicting a foreigner unleashing a tirade in broken Chinese to passersby after claiming he was beaten after being told not to smoke in the airport. The man went on to say that during his apparent beating, everyone around him stood there and laughed, which he expressed by repeatedly saying “Ni you ha ha ha wo” (presumably – “You laughed at me”) in what has to be one of the most creative uses of the Chinese language ever seen (ahem..) The furore attracted a nearby macho-man who stated to the raging foreigner, “China is already strong! China is already strong!” which surely won’t do wonders for the already fever-pitch nationalism and edgy anti-foreigner sentiment present in the country. The video currently has over 360,000 hits on Youku and has already gone viral.
