Year of the dragon

龙年

Yee yee

You have a mighty impressive skill, though. You could definitely put it to use if you develop the stomach for it.

@Selma I'm gratified that you think so. I caught the tail end of some very old traditions. My parents both had what was essentially a 19th-century upbringing. My Dad was blue collar urban and my Mom was isolated rural. She had nine brothers and sisters, all older, so the reunions were full of ancient tales. Our earliest ancestors came over to Virginia in the 1690s and to Georgia in the 1780s. It's all surprisingly well documented.

Yeah I could but then i'd have to work with Chinese people, and I've taken the time to learn the culture and let me tell you, it is not anything similar to mine and I like mine a lot.

4年之后，我的第一个大学的年之后，我一个年在中国学习了。

If I had a dollar for everytime I had to experience that.

很奇怪的国

I lived in montreal for a while when I was a kid so I speak decent french- when I got to HS and had to take a foreign language my dad was like "don't take french you already know that" but I enrolled for french for free A

he got pissed and signed me up for Chinese and Japanese

你的中文最好比我的

I worked with Chinese in California, and they are angry, hive-minded and rigid. The Japanese are much better. I swear they're almost White. They fail the civilization test though because they are ALL Leftist. Breaks my heart.

不是，你说的很好

为什么你说汉语？

Well, the Chinese that come over are hard working, at least I can say that.

I'm gen z and I play fortnite and minecraft regularly. im more powerful then you could possibly imagine

Bruh I can't read that last one

@Selma I can promise you that's not true for Chinese students, at least those in American universities

Oh, really? I suppose I meant they open businesses and seem to keep to themselves.

@ophiuchus @Selma Yeah same

Hey man, you've got you option/shift pressed down.

@Thugged Out Pissed Off Based

China is the only country I've been to besides the US

You have to understand that chinese students in American universities come from extremely wealthy families in china and are extremely entitled

I went to China Town in Chicago and that was all I needed to see

Their families have extensively provided for them to do well, even it means cheating

they just keep it up when they come here

Chinese students in China work harder

That's unfortunate. I did know some of them in school, they were playing the piano near-professionally at age 7.

I was with my host brother in Jiamsu and there was a car crash right in front of us. The guy turns to me and immediately says "it was probably a woman"

@Trashboat that last one is 语

meaning language

It looked familiar

The NE Asians might be admirable people in many ways, (although I really hate the Chinese I've known) but they aren't us. They didn't build this country, and they have always voted to destroy it.

Bear in mind I have a whole folder filled to the brim with 4 years worth of Chinese learning material

中文 is the written language, 汉语或者普通或是说的语

OH

Hua

It's hua
