One of the most impressive single story I know happened last summer in U.S. One time, my foreign friend asked whether I would walk on a wall or fly like the Kung fu stars. I was shocked that he had asked me such an illogical and random question. Because of some Chinese Kung fu movies, characters usually do Chinese Kung fu and are able to fly. He also told me that he thought most Chinese know how to do Kung fu. Interestingly enough, Chinese Kung Fu is a unique theme of moives which may attract him but also confuse him, and it is a typical single story for him.

ReplyDeleteInteresting story! Unfortunately I asked you to tell about a time when you realized YOU were living with a single story- it sounds like your foreign friend was the one living with the single story. This is still a very interesting anecdote, though.
