Yes, I did pass on the ruling of the owners of this Bulletin Board regarding the use of a foreign language and I seem to remember that Prune Towers spelt it out for you? We don't live in a celestial (you did mean celestial didn't you?) empire unfortunately, just the aviation world in which less than two percent have a reasonable command of the Chinese language and specifically on PPRuNe where I would suggest that less than one percent can understand Chinese.

Not quite sure, therefore, why you would wish to express yourself in Chinese rather than English and have less than one percent of readers have a clue what you are talking about?

And as a matter of interest, are you the person to ask why it is that the converted from other languages and cultures are often more intense and devoted about their adopted culture/language than those actually born within a particular culture and or language?
