@961816ronald Simplifying Chinese was a necessity for the sake of universal literacy. Even with simplified Chinese, it takes Chinese people years and years to learn all the characters they need. With traditional Chinese it is even worse. Try learning to write 體 instead of 体! Plus, when you look at a web page in traditional characters you need to enlarge the writing a lot to even be able to read it. 简体字万岁！
@Coltsfan hi. I hope you don't mind if I reply in English. I am learning Chinese and I currently live in Beijing, but I still find it difficult to express myself in Chinese on such a difficult topic. I don't see why simplifying the characters means losing China's traditional culture. As long as the basic language and writing system remains the same, does it matter if the radicals which make up the characters are simplified a bit?
@Coltsfan Furthermore, remember that simplifyng the characters is not necessarily a "communist" thing. Even before Mao Zedong took power, many Chinese intellectuals wanted to simplify the writing system, and not all of them were Communists. Even the Japanese have simplified the Chinese characters which they use by the way, although their simplification system is different. The truth is that the old characters are impractically complicated and difficult to learn. Are you Taiwanese by any chance?
@Ilikelink Yes, I am Taiwanese, but I am fluent in Japanese and I can tell you that their character simplification is something I can support. I mentioned that some characters need to be cut down; their process was infinitely more reasonable than what the Communists did. Of the 3K-4K characters that you need to be fluent, I'd say they cut less than 200, maybe less than 100. In response, I'd say that English is too complex. Instead of "laugh," lets make it "laf," and turn "because" to "bcoz."
@Coltsfan Actually I think simplifying English spelling would be an excellent idea, even though if someone tried it many native English speakers would certainly complain as well, because they would argue that so much ancient culture lies in their illogical spelling!
I totally agree with you. I just came back from a trip to China for about 5 weeks. I met with lots of ignorant Hans. I understand this part very well. I guess most Hans are honest and good people who want to get along with Uyghurs and build up a good nation together. White Europeans have enslaved the rest of the world and we should no longer fall into their traps! lkook at how native Americans were mistreated, how Iraq people were murdered. Together, we win!
@wlwlnana absolutely. I have met some Uyghur students in Beijing who told me that the Chinese (they mean the Han) "have no civilization". A bit ridicolous, hey?
@wlwlnana yes, but let's not lose sight of the fact that the Han make up over 90% of the population of the country, and what people usually refer to as Chinese culture is actually Han culture. Even the Chinese languages is called 汉语， or "the Han language".
even though there 90% of the population is Han,how can you or they forget the left 10%?Not to mention,why did they only blame Han?Did they ever want to know anyother ethnic minoritiy except themselvies?When meeting any case in China,they probably will call any Chinese "Han")))am I right?Of course all of us need Han language,or how can all the Chinese communicate with each other?And now,we use English,does it make sense?)Do you think you or me or all of us have been Westernized?
@wlwlnana when did I say that I forget the remaining 10%? Are you Chinese, by the way? I am not saying that the Chinese don't need the Han languages, I am just pointing out that "China" and "Han" are pretty interchangeable in most contexts.
@wlwlnana isn't it pretty obvious why? Because historically the Han are the people who really identify with the concept of "China". When people think of Chinese culture, they think of the Han language, of Han theatre, Han art. Nobody thinks of Uyghur theatre or of Tibetan music. That's the simple fact.
hey i wanna ask you if i can use your video for making a video for me about many songs in many languages and many other things please :-D, well i hope i can use it. 谢谢你！！！

@Ilikelink 你神經病嗎？台灣，香港，以及日本的識字率至今還高於中國大陸的。你怎麼能繼續跟我們講簡體字是必要的呢？的確，有些字是應該減的，例如“烏龜”的”龜“字與“鬱悶”的“鬱”。但是“否認”的“認”真的要減成“认”嗎？言字旁真的也必須簡體化嗎？有那麼難寫嗎？毛澤東命令簡體化漢字時只有一個目的：文化革命。他就是想摧毀中國的傳統文化，以此方式讓他所謂的“革命”蔓延到我們人生各界各地。簡體字就是因此而出現，所以採取此政策是因為毛澤東及中國共產黨的鞏固政權計劃。正體字是我們中國最獨特的特點之一，何不竭盡全力保存？如果共產黨不想失去“天命”，它不但得較好解決老百姓的艱難生活問題而且也得恢復中華文化到它以前的水準。歷史上有許多例子，譬如康熙皇帝。他的統治是中國的多數黃金時代之一因為他當時進行了對於經濟界與文化界有支援的法則及策略。
總之，正體字是我們華人的一個珍貴的寶物，也是中華文化的底子的一個固有部分。
中華文化，發揚光大。
