Correction

Today, a funny photo was shared by some WeChat accounts. The photo describes a scene in a restaurant in which a customer orders a dish called “man can be trusted”, and then they send a dish that is some cute sows on the branch of a tree. This funny idea is from a Chinese idiom, that says if the man is loyal, sows can climb trees.
