    Name this Chinese TV show please!

    I caught this over Chinese New Year at a relative's place - it is a Chinese drama (probably a soap) that features a "mentally challenged" character played by a guy with a rice bowl haircut. If you've seen the character played by Ben Stiller in Tropic Thunder, you'll know what I mean. If you can tell me the title of the show and anyway to download or watch it online, I would be so grateful!

    I couldn't help but laugh when you made that Ben Stiller reference! Golden!

    Self you are a star! I just checked it out on youtube and that's the one!

    For those of you that have seen Tropic Thunder and Ben Stiller's "Simple Jack" character - you've got to see this ATV soap - it's the same character, but in Chinese. Check out the haircut!
