aka 赤子之心

When people diverge...

Rowan Atkinson was asked why does his humor as with Mr Bean translate so well across cultures, he said it is on the level of a child really.
"Mr Bean is essentially a child trapped in the body of a man. All cultures identify with children in a similar way, so he has the bizarre global outreach. And 10-year-old boys from different cultures have more in common than 30-year-olds. As we grow up, we acquire this sensibility that divides us."
~ TIME Magazine, 3 September
