Ian_Lee Posted November 7, 2006 at 08:53 PM Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 at 08:53 PM Here is the TVB program "Monday File" on comparison between traditional and simplified characters with reports from Shanghai and HK: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9Qehyx9IkA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbI1s7jbeZ8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKUveVgm9Tw Interesting points from the video: (1) While some shop signs in HK start to use simplified script to cater to Mainland tourists, many shop signs in Shanghai use both traditional and simplified scripts; (2) Even Chinese officials got mixed up with both scripts; (3) A kindergarten in Shanghai teaches traditional script to the toddlers; (4) Foreign students feel it is easy to read in traditional but write in simplified; (5) Mainland immigrant students in HK feel they are more "Chinese" after learning the tradtional characters.

Quest Posted November 8, 2006 at 12:38 AM Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 at 12:38 AM Interesting. I support one script, re-evaluation of simplified characters, and systematic simplifcation. but none is likely to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
