Stay strong comrade, don't bow down to capitalist driven consumerism.

The problems of translation between Chinese & English are hilarious.
I used to work for a pyrotechnic display firm & we used to import direct from China.
We where so delighted with one factory that when we placed our order the following year we just said 'same as last year'.
Fireworks are renowned for their descriptive titles like Dancing dragons, posing peonies & silver spermatozoa but that year every device turned up with the name 'same as last year'.
We didn't have a clue what was what until we let them off!!
I love the Chinese.
