Unusual Writing on my QVC Package

rms1954 — Tue, 11 Aug 2020 16:34:57 GMT

I've read about those mysterious packages sent from China showing up and I know many many things are made in China, but this was a first for me to see. Chinese handwriting on my QVC package. It wasn't printed but it was hand-written with a marker on the inside of one of the foldovers of the box.

Can you have someone translate it for you? It could be a message from someone needing help..............

Stranger things have happened @Desertdi With the world the way it is nothing would surprise me. It would be interesting to know what it says since it's handwritten.

It's like the old joke, where a person goes out to dinner, and when they open their fortune cookie, it says, "Help! I'm trapped inside a fortune cookie factory!"

I remember reading several years ago that a handwritten message was found in someone's box of fireworks. When translated, the message was from a worker pleading for help in what was basically slave-labor conditions. The news never followed up on the story or if they did, I missed it.

@akaburtonfan

That's impressive!

Chinese is one of the hardest languages to learn!
