Recently my colleague Young Zhou returned to the office to fetch something he had left behind. He was scared witless when he saw a light in the dark building, thinking it was a thief with a flashlight. He picked up a makeshift club and approached closer only to discover, with relief, that it was Old Niu's computer downloading the popular TV series Lurk (Qianfu), at a snail's speed of 5.7k.
He intends to download all the Oscar-winning movies, which he says will be a heritage to pass on to his children's children.
Old Niu is known as a thrifty man and we have been forced by our wives to learn from his good example.
