Fran Ce in Chinese. France in English.?

I met a Frenchman. He understood what I have been telling him. He gave me his e-mail for further correspondence. I met another Frenchman. He failed to comprehend whatever I have been trying to tell him. He even talked for me with Chinatrust Commercial Bank customer services man. I have been e-mail exchanging with another French person. She understood me well. The simple international banking services questions could not be understood by French and Chinese. I told him Fran in Chinese can mean emperor, emperor's Ear, Yellow, family name, defense, and let go. Ce can mean death, dead, four, and think. France is dead. France in Chines is far kuo. Far is law in English. Law is dead.
