Li Yang, China’s most famous motivational speaker, is the force behind Crazy English. His rallies, a blend of hilarious agit-prop theatre and linguistic aerobics, lead their massive audiences on a joyride through American English. Chiding his listeners for their love of Coca-Cola and Toshiba, Li prods them to train their "international muscle" by shouting such slogans as "I enjoy losing face!" or "I have been wanting to buy a car!" His message is crazily familiar as he equates freedom with getting rich and unmasks the insatiable consumerism at the core of market-driven democracy. This time, Zhang takes a crisply direct approach to his subject, slyly allowing Li’s fondness for repetition and paraphrase to speak for itself.
