@LittleFish. As Chan would say, “Thank you, so much.” You’ll hear from me shortly.

@Mark Wright — It’s actually from the opening credits of “The New Adventures of Charlie Chan,” a 1950s TV series.

Charlie Chan’s Blood Case

Little Fish got it right except us kwai lo would call Chen- Chan

Love the old Hollywood Charlie Chan movies (though I’m guessing this isn’t a Hollywood movie)

BTW thanks, I use your site to choose my Asian movies and to understand them better.

(chen2)查理
新血案

The first line is a person’s name: Chen(2) Cha(1)li(3) translate to English is: Charles Chen. The second line’s Pin yin is: xin(1) xue(4)an(4). Xin(1) means new. Xue(4)an(4) literally means blood case, and usually means murder case.
So basically you get “Charlie Chen’s new murder case.”
