A video featuring a traffic policeman from Xi’an, China has just taken Chinese netizens by storm. To see the video, continue reading below.
Chinese social media platforms Weibo and Miaopai are abuzz.
In just four days, it has topped the “Popular” charts on both platforms with a combined total of more than 1.3 million plays, 51,000 likes and 3,000 comments as of today.
The video went viral due to the traffic policeman’s commendable use of English to charge a foreigner for driving a motorbike without a license.
According to Chinese news sources, the policeman once worked in Singapore before, which explains the influence of his accent.
Although the video doesn’t feature any of our well-loved “lah”, “leh”, “lor” words, his accent is distinctly similar to our Singaporean accent.
Somehow many of the Chinese netizens seem to embrace it:
A user laughs at the enjoyment of hearing the police officer speak English.
“His English is quite good.”
“Where did he learn it? I want to learn it too.”
“Although he has an accent, I feel comfortable listening to this type of English.”
“This accent is seriously good, it’s cool.”
