你会说中文吗?
The language and ancient culture of China includes not just the world's most enormous country but spreads across various countries of Asia - and increasingly, well beyond. Here we explore all aspects of that culture.

Hung Chung Chih When I first witnessed a performance of Peking opera (the best-known form of Chinese opera, with Peking by the way being the traditional English spelling of Beijing) years ago in Beijing’s ornate, early-19th-century Huguang Guild Hall, I admit I was mesmerized by the gestalt of this elaborate art form.

If you decide to give it a try, let us know how it works! In the translation community (I'm a Chinese-English translator), it seems most people have opted to just type the number of the tone at the end of each syllable. If this thing is user-friendly, I might give it a shot.
I intend to establish a global virtual network recently .. The company's main idea: Let the friends around the world unite together to create more wealth, sharing of resources. . . Theme in the international tourism, collection networks, import and export trade, the Internet-building, information consultation, luxury hotels and other areas. Provided that the period requires you to start offering free services, you can provide the service will be recorded. As an upfront investment. Are now recruiting talent, do you wish to join it? What skills and experience do you have.
