No wonder! I've also heard that Chaplin's late-period movie ``A Countess from Hong Kong," was dreamed up when he was traveling in the East. I believe most Chinese people are extremely familiar with Chaplin's movies. When I went to Switzerland, I made a special trip to his old residence. Really, whenever I think of him I think of the humor of the silent movies of those times.

You know what? There's a deep connection between Chaplin and China. Chaplin and his then-wife Bao Lian always dreamed of exploring the Orient. Once he flew to Honolulu, and he and Bao Lian were married in Guangzhou, China.

I've collected a lot of Chaplin movies. Chaplin was always deeply sympathetic toward the little guy and the out of work, and made fun of capitalism and the powers that be. He supported progressive democratic movements, and so from the very beginning, Chaplin and his movies have been very popular in China.

Yeah. Chaplin's movies are simply a standard for movies from the twenties to the fifties. ``City Lights," ``Modern Times," and ``The Great Dictator,"-- these movies have attracted great interest among audiences not only in America but around the world. A lot of his movies are also very popular in China. To this day, the supply of classic Chaplin DVD collections can't match the demand.

That's for sure. I think that Chaplin skillfully grasped the characteristics of his era. He used exaggerated methods to portray reality. He's given generations of audiences endless laughs. And hiding behind all the laughter, there's the desolation and loneliness of life. He resonated powerfully with his audiences.
Go to Lesson 
Yeah. I've also seen a lot of Chaplin's movies. The things they talk about all occur in people's daily lives, but the way he portrays them in a funny and exaggerated way give them a special comedic effect. He's even able to make un-funny things hilarious. But after laughing, you always feel a bit bittersweet, and full of sympathy for the oppressed and mistreated. His ``Tramp" has already become a classic.
