Mr. Wen Jiabao is an idiot.
The press conference is not a good chance for him to show off his memories of ancient quotes. It is important for ordinary Chinese people, and domestic and foreign reporters to understand fully the standings of Chinese Government. Therefore, he should use simple and everyday languages to communicate, as western politicians do, not to mention the burdens to the interpreters. If he has to use the ancient quotes, it is better for him to give an explanation in plain languages.
Chairman Mao knew better ancient literature, but he seldom quoted directly without an explanation. In his writings and speeches, he usually used simple languages to make his ideas clear. Chairman Mao wrote excellent ancient style poems. Can Wen Jiabao do so? If Wen really wants to show off, please do so in front of scholars in ancient literature.
