This review was originally intended to be written in the book review of "38 Sets of Questions". But I really can't find the version of "38 Sets of Questions" I did in high school - now there is only a series of "Tianli 38 Sets", and I don't know if it is the same one. What year's edition of "38 Sets of Questions" I used, which publishing house, whether there is a publishing house, and whether there is a book number are all questions. So I decided to use the place of "Eight and a Half" to write.
The "38 Sets of Questions" I did back then was just an English book, which was ordered by the school - a mock test paper from each part of the motherland. Beijing is like more, like Xicheng Haidian, then Huanggang, then something... Then the title of the book is "38 sets of questions" or "38 sets of questions".
I just love the title - it's so real, it's really humorous. It can hardly even be called the title of the book.

I thought of "38 Questions" because I saw a photo of my friend in "31 Flavored Ice Creams in the United States" on Facebook - ah, they have now changed their name to "Basket Robbins", which made me instantly fascinated by this brand. Favorability plummeted.
When I was in Beijing, there were some ice cream parlors of this grade, and a rude person like me couldn't really taste the difference. But I just love this one, simply because of the outrageously understated name of "31 American Ice Creams" -- it's not "31 Ice Cream," it's "31 American Ice Creams," so it's the same as "31 American Ice Creams." 38 sets of questions", it's almost impossible to name it.
Let's just say, in Chinese tradition, dogs are not pets, so they don't have names. At least in my childhood memory, the big yellow dog in the neighbor's house will never be called "big yellow", only "dog", or "big dog" if you are lucky, but this...
My favorite is the name "31 Flavored Ice Creams in America" with a strong childhood flavor. To be precise, this is a naming style of the early 1990s: express the most exaggerated content in the simplest language - and must cater to the psychology of the people at the time. The "California Beef Noodle King" who entered China at that time (maybe it was originally Chinese?) was also named in this way - it is better to call it a description than a name. And such a signboard is too dirty in 21st century Beijing, and unlike beef noodles, ice cream is a somewhat fashionable commodity... It's a
pity, unfortunately, the "King of California Beef Noodles" has become "Mr. Lee", "31 flavors of ice cream in the United States" has also become "Basket Robbins". Even the "38 sets of questions" has become "38 sets of Tianli".

Fortunately, "Eight and a Half" did not change its name. And because this name can't be a name, I've always wanted to see it.
Finally finished watching it! Also got five stars!
But not because of the name of the movie, but because I heard that this is a classic, how can you prove your taste if you don't give it five stars?
