Read here, and of course to call someone a "bastard" who is a potential candidate to be hired is inappropriate and out of proportion.

This happened on part of the potential employer in response to the potential candidate. British or not, being proud or not, to do such a thing on part of a potential employer is always inappropriate. The idiot who sent this email to the OP is a Chinese recruiter for the school or "school" who thought him/herself to be very smart and to play around with language whose meaning he/she did not know and the contexts within which it should be used.
It's a good example of total failure in cross-cultural communication. Some other posters paid this idiot back in like manner, see here:

And readers on here have had some fun. It's good entertainment with something to learn from it for each of us - what kind of treatment you should accept and not accept on part of Chinese employers!
那個人是王八蛋!
