I have no idea what the Chinese in this comic says. I copied and pasted it in from a sweet looking Chinese action/martial arts comic I had sitting around. It’s all probably highly inappropriate for the shown situations 
I’m a Chinese guy born in America and I wasn’t forced to go to Chinese school, so my understanding of the language is sub-par. Actually, it’s pretty terrible. I speak Cantonese to the level of, perhaps, a six-year old, cannot speak or understand Mandarin at all, and am completely illiterate.
For some reason, I had assumed that many people in China spoke both Mandarin and Cantonese, but my trip showed that to be far from the case. Almost everyone I spoke (or tried to speak to) in Beijing only spoke Mandarin, and even in southern China and Hong Kong, where Cantonese is more prevalent, I still encountered many people I could not converse with, sadly. After spending a long time there, I began to relish every opportunity to speak a few sentences with any fellow English-speaking tourists I encountered.
