Mr. He loved to watch movies when he was young. His favorite movie star was Ingrid Bergman, and he's seen all the movies starring her. This hobby also helps with the learning of foreign languages. "Back then, the theatres screened lots of Hollywood movies, and they weren't dubbed at all. It wasn't expensive to go to one, costing around 10 or 20 fen. You'd go to the movies once a month and do that for a whole year, then you would've seen about a dozen and you would've understood them all. It's like when you go to Shanghai and you don't understand a thing that Shanghainese are talking; however, then you live there for a couple of years and you'll master the language."
