据说发明这个游戏的是瑞士人。不过一直都没有引起人们的注意。八十年代日本杂志出版商把它引入日本，增加了游戏难度，当然也起了个日文名字，就是“sudoku” 数独。后来这个游戏就在日本和美国走红了。

They say it was a Swiss person that invented the game, but it never attracted any attention. In the 80's a Japanese magazine publisher imported it to Japan, increased the difficulty of the game, and of course gave it a Japanese name: ``sudoku." Later the game got popular in Japan and the United States.

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.
