Lu Posted December 30, 2017 at 01:42 PM Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 at 01:42 PM I watched the whole video, but I didn't see any shot where the ticket/sheet of paper was clear enough to tell what it might say. There is a shot of the guy printing it, in which I saw that it's most likely Chinese (makes sense with a video set in Hong Kong), but I have no idea what it says.

Lu Posted December 30, 2017 at 02:01 PM Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 at 02:01 PM 行者 literally means 'someone who walks'. What 'Walker, join us' means in the video, I have no idea. I leave that to you :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelley Posted December 30, 2017 at 02:02 PM Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 at 02:02 PM It looks like it is in traditional, just for the OP who might not realise why your 们 doesn't look like his 們. Apparently 行者 , can also mean itinerant monk, interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy_hyaena Posted December 30, 2017 at 03:56 PM Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 at 03:56 PM It could be the artist's Chinese name "Alan Walker" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For pedestrian, walker, we use 行人. 行者 is a Buddhist term in which 行 means 修行 'to practice'. In Journey to the West, Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, is called 孫行者 by his peers. There is an episode where he was captured by an enemy using a magical gourd. The gourd had such property that if its owner calls your name and you respond, you will be instantly sucked into it and die within hours. Sun managed to escape and went back to challenge the enemy again, pretending to be 者行孫, the brother of himself. When the enemy called him by his made-up name 者行孫, he responded and was sucked into the gourd again. Unrelated but also weirdly interesting is the Whisky brand Johnnie Walker. I don't know who came up with this translation, but it's known in Chinese as 約翰走路. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
