Chinanews, Beijing, Feb.3 – Xu Jialu, the famous linguist1, calls for the general public's attention to the Chinese language leaning. “The Chinese language and characters are the marks of the Chinese people, thus we shoule pay attention to general public's Chinese literacy, ” said Xu.
According to a research by the General Administration of Press and Publications, mistakes can be found in nearly all the Chinese dictionaries in the market, not to mention other books.
Even most well-educated Chinese can't write or speak correct Chinese language nowadays.
“Which is more important to us, English or Chinese ?” asked Xu. Obviously, China is suffering from neglect of Chinese learning, and overemphasizing English learning.
