Great Chinese Music and Beautiful Scenes:
Thank you, Nano, who referred this video “Beautiful China” with my favorite song:
By the way, I’m also trying to help a bit with the already most popular site China the beautiful: ChinaPage (more than 2,800 pages, a lot of work and efforts invested by Dr. Pei )
I agree with the review by http://kaibo2.com/wp/archives/24
Batman should a movie against violence but showing the violence. Enjoy made-in-china consumer products, try to export more made-in-US hi-tech, not the weapons.
Made-in-China used to be of low quality. Not any more. Only less than 1% of those products may have problem, just like those made in the US. Do not throw away the baby with the bath water.
Chris, try to make a movie to get more people to love peace or make peace. Let the US be proud to make peace not weapons. Don’t make guns in the US, make peace or better and cheaper hi-tech products to beautify our daily life.

How to say “I hate you” in Mandarin and Cantonese?
Love often comes with hate.
There’s a Chinese saying “The more you love, the deeper you hate.”
You’ve already known I and you in Chinese. Now learn the word for hate.
我恨你 = I hate you (<<- click and learn. Please that Jyutping and Yale are for Cantonese).
Note that the word 恨 is very formal in Cantonese. In Cantonese, we usually use the word “嬲 nau1″ instead.
I have a dream that one day there’s no hate in world but peace and love.
Today, we are going to start a new series called LearningDict to learn Chinese.
LearningDict is just learning Chinese through a dictionary. MDBG.net has a great dictionary for you to learn Mandarin and Cantonese.

How to say “I love you” in Mandarin and Cantonese?
我爱你 ( <<- click and learn. Please note that Jyutping and Yale are for Cantonese)
No more explanation is needed for the above.
Earlier on this web site, I just chose a phonetic Cantonese romanization system at will. After some good research, I found that we need to adopt the most popular system called Jyutping, which has a lot of good features.
More on that soon.
(Special Thanks to Mike, who just reminded us to improve as soon as possible. We agree. We need to remove any confusion from our site. Mike, please contact us with your real email)
The following differences between Jyutping and the Yale romanization should be noted:
Jyutping and the Yale romanization system represent Cantonese pronunciations with the same letters in:
* The initials: b, p, m, f, d, t, n, l, g, k, ng, h, s, gw, kw, w.
* The vowel: aa (except when using alone), a, e, i, o, u,yu.
* The nasal consonant: m, ng.
* The coda: i, u, m, n, ng, p, t, k.
But they have difference with the following exceptions:
* The vowels eo and oe represent /ɵ/ and /œː/ respectively in Jyutping, while the eu represents both vowels in Yale.
* The initial j represents /j/ in Jyutping while y is used instead in Yale.
* The initial z represents /ts/ in Jyutping while j is used instead in Yale.
* The initial c represents /tsʰ/ in Jyutping while ch is used instead in Yale.
* In Jyutping, if no consonant precedes the vowel yu, then the initial j is appended before the vowel. In Yale, the corresponding initial y is never appended before yu under any circumstances.
* Jyutping defines three finals not in Yale: eu /ɛːu/, em /ɛːm/, and ep /ɛːp/. These three finals are used in colloquial Cantonese words, such as deu6 (掉), lem2 (舐), and gep6 (夾).
* To represent tones, only tone numbers are used in Jyutping while Yale originally uses tone marks together with the letter h (though tone numbers can be used in Yale as well).
For further information on both systems, please refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jyutping
This song is about a classmate who shared the same desk.
Some think it is a love song.
Tong2 Zhuo1 de ni3 ( You who once shared my desk at the class)

It starts like this:
