　　“Long time no see!” is a very interesting sentence．When I first read this sentence from an American friend's email, I laughed．I thought it was a typical 　　1　　 of Chinglish．

　　I was 　　4　　 thrilled to believe her．Her words could not convince me at all．So I did a 　　5　　 on Google．To my surprise, there are over 60 thousand web pages 　　6　　 “Long time no see”．This sentence has been 　　7　　 used in emails, letters, newspapers, 　　8　　, or any other possible place．Though it is sort of informal, it is part of the language 　　9　　 Americans use daily．However, if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word, the 　　10　　 will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected．

　　Nobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentence．Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan's movies．In 1910s, Hollywood moviemakers successfully created a world wide famous Chinese detective named “Charlie Chan” on wide screens．Detective Chan liked to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by 　　11　　 Confucius(孔子)．“Long time no see” was his trademark．Soon “Long time no see” became a 　　12　　 phrase in America thanks to the popularity of these movies．
