Though your right, it does read like a command. It isnt. It really does mean " love mom". As she is from Guangzhou, im guessing that she is cantonese, so when they use mandarin, they make it quite "cantonesey". And the cantonese language has alot more similarities to English.

Agreed. You would think that a website for foreigners would use less chinese journalism methods and stop treating the world like it only has 2 countries. China and foreign country. If your just translating a chinese newspaper, stop being lazy and do a little work people. Full Comment>>

well obviously you walk to work because if you drove you would know that the salesman wouldnt have gotten in any shit at all. When you test drive a car in China, you show your license and ID and sign a waiver. Which he did, so the salesman wouldnt take any responsibilty at all. You have no idea what you are talking ...
