There's a scene in "Annie Hall" where the Woody Allen character pauses before saying "Thank you" to a compliment paid him by Annie (Diane Keaton). The compliment was, "You're a real Jew."
The big bold Chinese characters below look like a headline. In fact they are a headline. They are the title to a recent article on a Chinese website whose subject is the "Great Wall of Silence" series.
It's a laudatory article and I am grateful and grateful also for the title which is complimentary to me personally for it reads in English, "A Respected Foreign Devil." (Pause) Thank you.
