<html><p>In our inaugural episode of the Popup Chinese movie show, opinions split over Let the Bullets Fly, the Chinese western directed by Jiang Wen and starring train-robbing, gun-shooting and horse-riding versions of himself and Chow Yun-Fat. This is the film that broke the Chinese box-office record shortly after its release, but considering that its competition that year included possibly the worst Chinese film ever made, we thought it about time for a discussion of whether the film is actually any good.</p><p>Learning Chinese? We're pitching this show at the intermediate to upper-intermediate level and aiming for a discussion that splits half-and-half between English and Chinese. The English is there to help weaker listeners follow the discussion, but there is a lot of Chinese-only material here too, especially as the show goes on. And if you're having trouble following it? We've added a vocabulary list with some of the more difficult words, along with a number of sample sentences to illustrate usage.</p><p>Navigate the reincarnated <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCb-JnUWyA57bATCiYI0BAFg" target="_blank">Popup Chinese archives</a>, including the original customized word-to-word transcripts for this and every other lesson as PDF files:</p><p>Reincarnated <a href="https://www.patreon.com/collection/2145586" target="_blank">Popup Chinese</a> — <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/1UAMMJYiwYVwjvtcsftcwc?si=lTF6WipMQ36IVwcYyO59WQ" target="_blank">Popup Chinese</a> — <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/popup-chinese/id1896229769" target="_blank">Popup Chinese</a></p><p>Reincarnated <a href="https://www.patreon.com/collection/2145647" target="_blank">Popup Cantonese</a> — <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/4kH3QggH2sjme7KSj09K45?si=VffdRjmHQPCrNN62cvI5ow" target="_blank">Popup Cantonese</a> — <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/popup-cantonese/id1896230937" target="_blank">Popup Cantonese</a></p></html>
