Essay & Composition Writing

When talk about my language, I talk about...

China was once a lexical-oriented country, after a few decades in the mid-twentieth centuary, we turn to the other pole, somehow disregard our traditional culture. For instance, as Chinese has no alphabet, we use homonyms in lieu of abbreviations in English, such as "3" stands for "retreat" and "8" represent "Goodbye". At first, it is really cool, but after years' use, I found the peril of literary regression of Chinese.

We forget our ancestors have writen the brightest poetries in the world, (may be controversial, the main reason is contemporary Chinese poeteries is so suck.) forget the classics we have adored for over three thousand years. It is so pathetic to talk about old-fashioned literature in China, no repercussions, most people just want to make money.

Wow, I had better stop here ^_^ I really want to communicate with you, of course moderately, on the topic of present language in different countries, that must be funny.

Hi, HairpinShare

You seem to be quite nostalgic. what you have written is a matter of mordernization.

In my Vietnam, there is also a similar problem. to our eastern countries, the western culture has been importing more and more quickly. Although we have tried to preserve but frankly, many traditional values of my country have been lost. Do you know "Kieu story" of Nguye
