Kids say the darndest things:

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENT WELCOMES “HONG KONG CHAIRMAN” BY MISTAKE
FRIDAY, 29 APRIL, LAST UPDATED 05:05


Ming Pao: Before the arrival of Lien Chan's flight to Beijing Capital International Airport, a reporter interviewed a Grade 4 male student that was part of the welcoming party: “Do you know who you're welcoming?” The boy answered: “The president of Hong Kong, no, the chairman of Hong Kong.” As the reporter was about to correct him, a worker at the scene went to gently tell the student: “Remember, you're welcoming chairman Lien Chan of the Kuomintang from Taiwan.” Another Grade 5 female student was able to correctly answer who they were about to welcome.
