Travel Info im curious! Travel Tips Xiao Qiang (Cantonese: Siew Keong) 灏忓己 is used as an affectionate name for cockroach, according to this blog: It all started in Stephen Chow鈥檚 movie titled 鍞愪集铏庣偣绉嬮. If you don鈥檛 read Chinese, here鈥檚 the translation. Stephen Chow in his Movie Flirty Scholar, he鈥檚 in love with the Beautiful Girl, QiuXiang (GongLi). So one day he was trying to get close to her by trying to work for QiuXiang鈥檚 family. And so he hired a guy to act as the dead father and he鈥檚 trying to earn money by selling himself as a slave to anyone who wants him (鍗栬韩 - or literally selling one鈥檚 body is very common in the past) . At a time when QiuXiang鈥檚 servant is trying to persuade QiuXiang to 鈥榖uy鈥?Stephen Chow, another guy came into the act and this time he鈥檚 selling himself to budy his whole family of 6. Both Stephen Chow and this guy, WengChong fought each other to see who鈥檚 fate is the worst among themselves, to get the sympathy from QiuXiang. WengChong brought a dog and it suddenly died, all of a sudden, Stephen Chow is at a lost, and when he spotted a cockroach on the floor creeping near the servant, and when she mis-stepped on it (cockroach), Stephen immediately exclaimed , 鈥淪iew Keong, Siew Keong! How could u die now when I鈥檝e done so much to you to educate you, and bringing you up, how could I live seeing my son die earlier than me, your rightful parent!!! And from then on, Siew Keong has become the affectionate name for Cockroach in the Chinese Lingo. )涔熸兂鍒伴€欓粸,绔熺劧""璩ｈ韩钁叏瀹?quot;"灏遍€ｈ窡鍦ㄥ繝浠旇韩寰岀殑涓€闅诲悹... 寰炴,锜戣瀭灏卞彨鍋氬皬寮?
