The Milwaukee Chinese community

So over the weekend I headed back to the Badger state for a belated July 4th visit with the fam. Our family is a member of the local chapter of the Organization for Chinese Americans (OCA). They were having a picnic that day, and I went to it. Well we all took a picture of all the Chinese people there along with a sign that said something to the effect of "The Milwaukee Chinese community welcomes Yi." I'm the tall guy (relatively) in the middle wearing black.

One guy there also created a webpage, yifanclub.org, and posted this picture. However it's all in Chinese, of which I can read on like a first grade level. Well who woulda thunk it that the web could translate Chinese too. It's not perfect, but it's enough to get the drift. It does make for something pretty amusing. Check out the second paragraph on the site first, then check out what the translator spits out:

"Sends the fan we, deeply loves the basketball; We, like Yi Jianlian, likes the male deer team; We, deeply love this city which the life as well as we lives... ... Comes, joins our □□Yi Jianlian the fan club! The hope facilitates this marriage with the aid of our local Chinese people and all mass organizations' strength, lets the matter have to let everybody happy result; Let us have an opportunity in front of the entire society to demonstrate our Chinese people community, tells everybody us is a unity, the cooperation association, we like the land and here people which we lives □□at least, we cannot let ignorant manager Fei Gen talk irresponsibly, describes in front of the public this beautiful city and the life in here Chinese people mass organization has no merit to speak of! This is an equality, the voluntary organization, this is a friendly affection cooperation association. Here, is a homeland □□United Arab Republic's homeland, fan's homeland, Chinese people's homeland, is people's homeland which each deeply loves the life. Comes, we wait for you in here!"

My favorite part is where it mention the "male deer team." I.E. the Milwaukee Bucks. And something's lost in the translation, not really sure why the "United Arab Republic" is in here. I will hafta check with my parents and get back to you...
