    The union associated with my org just ended up on a Chinese newspaper, we are famous omg

    (context: in the 26th of may that particular union, about a million strong, per Wikipedia, launched a general strike. And that has piqued the interest of CCTVnews)

              No not at all Comrade. it’s not that “hard” as some people say.

              is it difficult ? Yes !

              I started learning it since I was little, so. that is why is very easy for me to read and write it but I don’t know how to speak it.
