Judge Dee Mystery


 I am not working but watching the Chinese Judge Dee series. It is something unrelated to the van Gulik version, and with much moon over mountain scenery. The Dutch novels are clever, but the Chinese film with Judge Dee's kung-fu acrobatics is ridiculously stupid. I have been many times in China and read much literature, and I like the people. They are sociable and friendly, non-violent, but I have never heard or read an ingenious saying. Their Buddhism is insincere, since Buddha never killed a fly but the Chinese kill and cook every creature. I think the Roman Empire was superior to the Celestial Empire, and only the Brits and the Jews are brilliant and funny.
