I keep getting Chinese spam texts and it's like joke's on you, I can't even read that!

#my understanding of Chinese is mostly auditory #and even then it's not very good #my mother describes my fluency as “they know when they are in trouble” #shoutout to everyone who understands Cantonese before it becomes a dead dialect #Cranky Hong Kongers and their diaspora are extremely outnumbered to Mainland China #one time I was shopping in Hong Kong and forgot the word for “stripes” #I dunno why watching a ton of kung fu movies didn't inspire Baby Kaxen to stay fluent
