cantonese is so much more beautiful than mandarin, literature and music-wise. most professors would agree on this. it is not just a dialect at stake but the whole culture and history that flows with this. mandarin for business purposesonly . otherwise, cantonese is the lingua franca and will always be for hong kong and guangdong

The intentions and the excuses the CCP gave to replace cantonese to mandarin means they dont give a shit about cantonese and wants to replace it. Basically what they saying is it will make it better for mandarin people to occupy guangzhou and eventually the rest of guangdong. We are all Chinese and thats the dumbest idea I have heard. Why you would you want to break down the cantonese speakers who are loyal to China?

China government should leave Guangzhou alone. However China forces mandarin on us, we Cantonese people never forget our roots, language and culture.

thank you very much. I can tell you must have majored in social science areas in college or interacting with open-minded people along with reading good sources. No one is saying the Cantonese shouldn't learn Mandarin, but it is not fair to come to Guang Dong and tell them they can't speak their own language that has been around for so long and with so much historical culture including that it is very widespread internationally. knowing more than one language is a wonderful thing.

Dialect will disappear,and Mandarin is truly language of Chinese now.
You should learn Mandarin soon.
