Crazy Li Yang:英语就是汉语下的蛋 (English is the Egg of the Mandarin Language)Crazy Li Yang:英语就是汉语下的蛋 (English is the Egg of the Mandarin Language) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DYuW40UHW0
It sounds as if America would become, sooner or later, the 3rd Special Administrative Region of China in addition to Hong Kong and Macau, according to what Li Yang said, and as if he were the president of MCGA, but his ex-wife Kim Lee, a US citizen, says "Li Yang is the leader of an evil cult".
In the video, it seems that Li Yang is beating someone, and you can hear Kim's youngest daughter Li Hua (13 years old) screaming and crying, and then you can hear Kim's second daughter Li Na (16 years old) repeatedly yelling “What are you doing!" and "You wanna kill me?" Probably, the video was taken by Li Na who was trying to protect her younger sister from Li Yang's violence.
Li Yang's ex-wife Kim Lee says to Li Yang "You are not a teacher, but the leader of an evil cult... Your followers are members of the evil cult".
Ms. Kim Lee's post on Weibo:
("丽娜华" refers to the names Li, Na and Hua of her three lovely daughters.)
In this video, Li Yang says, "English is the egg laid by the Mandarin language. As long as you know Mandarin Chinese and Pinyin method, you will be able to speak fluent English. Why? Let me explain by examples. For example, "桌子太薄了" (meaning the table is too thin), so here comes the 'table'."
What did he mean by "the table is too thin"? In fact, what he tried to express is "the tabletop is too thin".
In his example "桌子太薄了", "桌子" means table, and "太薄了" means "too thin". The Pinyin of "太薄了" (tài-báo-le) sounds similar to the pronunciation of the English word "table". However, there are a lot of things in the world that are too thin in thickness, but obviously, not all of them are tables.
Li Yang's method is just for helping his followers remember English words in a crazy way. As you can see, his conclusion "English is the egg laid by the Mandarin language" is ridiculous!
