It's not hard to infer the perspective of (some, not all) native Mandarin speakers. They are used to the superiority to Shanghainese, Cantonese, Fukkienese in China as it's a norm that all of latter MUST learn former's mother tongue, not because of their scientific/economic advantages but just because they are descendants of Monglolian/Manchurian who dominated China for centuries. They enjoy such superiority in China just like American in the world. But when we left China, it's necessary to tell them: your force-based superiority vanished.
I once talked with my Taiwanese friends, so many of you guys are calling for change of the national name, or national flag, all of which are no more than ideology. Why don't you guys abolish Mandarin, the colonial language of hostile state, in favor of English? They do have strengthened the influence of Taiwanese language, but few thinks it can be used as a suitable medium of instructions in modern time.
Those are untold story in China, almost no Chinese student knows Mandarin originates from the barbaric language other than Chinese majority, and the difference between Cantonese and Mandarin is equivalent to that between English and German. They are told that they are learning a "national language" to replace their "dialects".
I wish to tell the truth to public to enlighten more and more Chinese people. |
