Why Learn Chinese?
It is not surprising that Chinese or overseas Chinese study Chinese seriously, it is justified. Chinese people don’t learn Chinese and don’t understand Chinese. This would be weird to an English or French person. If you ask an English or French person: “Do you know your mother tongue?” They will think your question is insulting.
But if you ask a Chinese in Malaysia or Singapore: “Do you know Chinese?” He will naturally tell you that he only understands English or Malay. Chinese? do not know. This is of course a very bad phenomenon. This book encourages people all over the world, regardless of race, skin color, or belief, to come and learn Chinese together. Why study Chinese? Please finish this book slowly, it will give you the perfect answer. On the other hand, if there is anyone who is proficient in foreign languages, and if you are willing to help translate this book into the language of any country in the world (including English, Malay or Indonesian), please contact us immediately.

Why learn Chinese? Just because I am Chinese, I must learn Chinese well. Is this the answer? Wrong. The race of the world wants to improve and the culture wants to advance. They must learn Chinese together! Chinese will become the international lingua franca in the next century. No matter if you are white, black, red, yellow, or brown, you have to work hard to learn Chinese well, so that you will not fail to keep up with the times! Whether you are Asian, European, American, Australian, African, you must learn Chinese well. Throw away the pinyin text and learn the square characters, you can develop the potential of your right brain! Germans often think that the Germanic nation is the best nation in the world. But why does the Germanic nation always defeat the war? It was defeated during the First World War, and it was a terrible defeat. In the Second World War, it was defeated again, and the defeat was even worse! German experts worked hard to study, Why does a nation who thinks it is the best in the world always fail? Where is the reason? Find it out! Is it possible that there is a nation in the world that is better than the Germanic nation? Find it out! So, input the advantages and disadvantages of the major nations in the world into the computer to make a complete comparison. This ratio surprised the Germans. It turns out that there is really a nation better than the Germanic nation. This nation grew up on the Asian continent and has the largest population in the world. When the civilization of this nation is already very developed, European talents have just begun to take off. This nation invented gunpowder, compasses, printing, paper, and rockets. To put it simply: All man-made objects used in the world are invented by this nation and improved by other nations. Including a porcelain bowl and a silk dress. This nationality is the Han nationality that Master Xuanfa is so proud of. I am proud of knowing Chinese! I am proud of being able to talk and communicate with people in Chinese!
Germans love Chinese According to the German study, the Han nationality has a very strong national cohesion, and the main source of this cohesion is square characters. If this ethnic group uses Pinyin characters, then the Han ethnic group is just like other ethnic groups in the world. It's not worth the Germans' effort to study. The Germans found that the culture of the Han nationality is too good. The Mongolians entered China and ruled China for a hundred years. As a result, the Mongolian nomads with only language and no written language were assimilated by the Han and learned Han etiquette. At the same time, the Mongolians only ruled China for a hundred years before being driven back to the Mongolian desert by the Han. The Germans also discovered that the Jurchens entered the Great Wall and established the Manchu Kingdom-Qing Dynasty in China. Ruled China for three hundred years and was assimilated by the Han nationality. Han and Manchu intermarriage, and finally, the Jurchen tribe merged into the Han tribe and became one body. What is the great cohesive force that can make a 7,000-year-old country divide for a long time? Chinese! Chinese with a unique square structure in the world! The Germans came to the conclusion that in order to make the Germanic nation a good nation, it is necessary to learn Chinese! What kind of cohesive force can mobilize the people of China, regardless of the north and south, the old and the young, resist the Japanese aggression, fought against Japan for eight years, and finally won the victory? is Chinese! Chinese with a unique square structure in the world! The Germans came to the conclusion that to make Germany strong, the Germans must learn Chinese with an humility! The Germans once organized a research group to go to Hong Kong to do field experiments. In Hong Kong hospitals, patients with hemiplegia after stroke are divided into two groups: One group is a group of Hong Kong people who used English to talk in the family since childhood, and received English education when they grew up; The other group is Hong Kong people who have used Chinese as their home language since childhood, and who have received a pure Chinese education when they grow up. A group of five people, two groups of ten people, do Chinese experiments. It is necessary to study whether the square text is excellent or the pinyin text is excellent!
Why choose Hong Kong? Because only Hong Kong, a city that has been ruled by the British for 100 years, has such a special cultural phenomenon. Although Singapore used to be a British colony, it now places more emphasis on English than it did during the British colony. Singaporeans have been educated in English since childhood, and there are fewer Singaporeans who are educated purely in Chinese, so Singapore cannot be used as an experimental site. The language research methods used by the Germans are very complicated, very scientific, with a lot of equipment, and the talks are very long, specialized and boring. Let us give an example to illustrate. For stroke patients who were educated in English, they wrote a big "FIVE" and asked them to read the pinyin and tell the meaning of the word. As a result, all five failed. The patient can only pronounce the English letters "F - I - V - E" in five monophonic sounds. The patient's brain cannot compose words and cannot understand the meaning of the word. For stroke patients who were educated in Chinese, they wrote a big "five". All the five patients could read the sound of "five" clearly, and used hand gestures to compare five fingers to clearly know the meaning of "five". Then, I wrote "YOU", and stroke patients who were educated in English could only pronounce the English letters, "Y--O--U" three monophones, could not spell words, and could not understand the meaning of words. Compared with the Chinese group, I wrote a "you". The Chinese group had a clear pronunciation and could point to each other with their fingers. Write another "I". I am a patient in the English group. I can read "I" all-around, and point my finger to his chest to indicate "I". All five are successful. In the Chinese control group, the word "我" was written, and the Chinese group patients were able to pronounce it, and at the same time they were able to point to themselves with a smile. There are a total of multiple questions in the experiment, and each question in the Chinese group is all right. The English group has only one question, and all other tests fail. German scholars believe that the stroked brain cannot perform inductive activities and that phonetic characters are not excellent characters. The brain of a stroke can perform analytical activities, and the squares are the best words in the world. In "Reading Experiment", German scholars interviewed more than 50 stroke patients in the English group. On weekdays, before a stroke, I have the habit of reading newspapers every day. After a stroke, I cannot read newspapers because I cannot understand the contents of the newspapers. Fifty respondents in the Chinese control group were able to read and understand the content of the newspaper at a slow pace. German scholars are very excited about the various research results (not only the above two, many other studies are limited in space, omitted). Because of the research of these scholars, the number of people studying Chinese in Germany today is very large, and German elementary schools have officially listed Chinese as an elective course.
