For a moment, I thought the Advanced lesson is on "Unix"! I got suscpicious when the statement came "China has a long history of Unix...". So I checked, and no, no lesson on Unix.

Eunuchs, Unix, whatever ;)

我估计事实上员工一起给经理准备了一个惊喜派对。

对了,你们把出版时间提前了,对我而言更方便。

John,
Ninjas vs. Ming Dynasty Pirate Zombies!

Oh, we all know how that lesson ends already, of course. The battle is too imbalanced.

excuter,
there are also sheep zombies, as known from that mediocre New Zealand B-picture Black Sheep.

RJ's "Newbie" comment is hilarious. It justs works on so many levels.

wenjong,
I agree for the most part. But you also wrote:

"This lesson has so many practical terms: [...] I'm going to kill you [...]"

Hm, practicability depends on ones line of business and/or lifestyle, I suppose.

开玩笑 ;)

So do Chinese zombies actually speak? Or was that just for educational reasons? Our western zombies cannot do that as they are reduced to basic cerebral functions.

[And can they give Powerpoint presentations? Think about the possibilities! You could employ them not only in the service industry as known from Shaun of the Dead but also in consultancies, banking, and of course Universities for teaching].

caballero,

check the UI lesson on Zombies and you will learn there that Zombies are traditional Chinese folklore - with roots in the Qing Dynasty! Those are different zombies than those George Romero ones we know in the west.
