Watching Chinese movies could help you learn Chinese, and get better culture understanding. The movie《非诚勿扰》has prompted the viewers to ponder about the relationship and marriage in this modern age in China.

非(fēi) means "non-"and 勿(wù) means" do not." They both convey a negative meaning. 诚(chéng) is generally understood as being honest or sincere, and 扰(rǎo) comes with the meaning of disturbing or interrupting. Thus, the phrase's basic connotation is "don't disturb unless you are sincere."

It is possible for you to see this phrase in many situations in daily life, such as on matching or dating websites (like Match.com) or even on the posters for selling various items(like eBay). In the movie, this phrase means "don't contact me if you are not the girl I'm looking for".

"Miss Right", only encountering various kinds of "Miss Wrong". A woman (acted by Shu Qi) feels desperate after an affair with a married man and happens to meet Ge You at a blind date. They get to know each other gradually and decide to pay a tour to the famous resort in Japan together. As a comedy, the film brings us a happy ending. The song in the movie was performed by a winner of "Super Girl" program (a TV program similar to "American Idol").

摇，摇，摇， yáo, yáo, yáo,
摇到外婆桥。 yáo dào wài pó qiáo.
外婆叫我好宝宝，  wài pó jiào wǒ hǎo bǎo bao,
一只馒头一块糕。 yì zhī mán tou yí kuài gāo.

The Bridge to Grandma's Home
Rock-a-baby, baby, on the bridge to grandma's home
Grandma calls me a sweet baby
And gives me sweeties as praise

It is said that the seventh Fairy sends her daughter and son to celebrate the birthday for their grandma, but they are stopped by a deep creek. To help the two kids meet their beloved grandma, another fairy creates a bridge in the creek with her sword. The children are always taught this rhyme to remember the deep love of their grandma.
