Shenzhen-based expat The Fred caused plenty of controversy in January with his music video “Super English Teacher”, which lampooned foreign teachers in China for being “slackers”, among other things. Now he is back with an even more controversial song, which takes the form of a duet between an English teacher and a Shanghai prostitute.
Carrying on the theme of English teachers being unable to make anything of themselves in their home countries, Fred now has his English teacher confessing to being in love with the Shanghai prostitute who admits that she will dump him as soon as she has her green card.
Do English teachers really warrant being on the receiving end of such satire?
