Chinese opera must be astounding to behold.

Passing the A-level is equivalent to graduation from high school in America.  It must be a big deal since it doesn't look like No. 3's tummy has ever met the light of the Sun before.

This is a new kind of demented perversion of the rich in which they're imprisoned on holiday and dream of being free.  They will probably execute him anyway for being boring, overweight, and whiny.
