The Long-awaited Mr Han

ching it but were not surprised.

“Now comes the second round of the competiton,” the emcee said.
“The two groups can send a representative up each to draw lots.
The first lot is the line you need to say, and the second decides what kind of emotions you’ll be using to perform those lines.”

The two groups sent out Lu Man and Qiao Luna.

“Based on the results of the previous match, Luna can draw lots first,” the emcee said.

Qiao Luna walked in front of the board and looked towards the audience.
“Which should I draw?”

The audience started to come up with ideas freely.
“Draw the red one!”

“Draw the blue one!”

“Draw the yellow one!”

“Which one should I draw? Can you guys come up with just one answer?” Qiao Luna said again.

At that moment, there was someone in Qiao Luna’s group who said, “Then how about red! Burning red, seeing red upon opening the door[1].”

“Alright, I’ll listen to Teacher Wu.” Qiao Luna pulled out the red lot.

In the end, she took a look and was shocked.
“My line is, ‘From the South came a Lama with five kilograms of mackerel in his hand.
From the North came a mute man with a trumpet pinned to his waist[2].”

“Hahaha, a tongue twister!”

The emcee said, “Come on, draw the lot for the emotion.”

Qiao Luna randomly took one and passed it to the emcee, and the emcee said, “Use the emotions of someone whose child had been snatched away to act it out.”

“Let me contemplate for a while.” Qiao Luna calmed down her emotions, then said, “Alright, I’m done.”

The other people all made way and left the center stage for Qiao Luna.

[2] This is a tongue twister.
The original Chinese words are 打南边来了个喇嘛,手里提拉着五斤鳎獁.打北边来了个哑巴,腰里别着个喇叭 (Dǎ nán bian lái le gè lǎ ma, shǒu lǐ tí lā zhe wǔ jīn tǎ mà.
Dǎ běi bian lái le gè yǎ bā, yāo lǐ bié zhāo gè lǎ bā).
Many of the words sound similar in Chinese, with different intonations, and that’s why it’s a tongue twister.
