| No answer is more confusing than that from a Chinese kid when one asks about his/her age. According to the fifth great Chinese invention, when a kid was born, he/she was 1 year old. Then after each lunar new year day, his/her age is increased by 1. One non-sensical example, Chinese women’s gymnast "He Kexin" was actually born on Jan 1, 1994. According to Western or international standard, she is 14 year old and ineligible for the Beijing Olympics because of 16-year-old Olympic age limit for gymnastics. But according to the fifth great Chinesse invention, she is 16 year old now. Then Western media starts to cry foul. How could clever Chinese explain their fifth great invention to the dumb Westerners? Well, China produced her passport that claimed she was born Jan. 1, 1992, making her old enough to perform a brilliant uneven bar routine and push China to the women’s all around gold medal. The implicit explanation: either you dumbass figure out a kid's age based on our rule or GET THE F*** OUT! Anyone dares to guess the age of the blogger's kid: (A) 1 (B) 2 (C) 3 (D) too early to tell |
