Loitering languages.

I am a chinese born in British Hong Kong, a Anglo-Chinese clout tiny city in Asia-Pacific. I have been studying english since the age of three; and have been profoundly studying traditional Chinese since I was ten. I could write and recite old chinese poems, and passages when I was small. I went to England to study when I was sixteen. I learned to speak and write and read french since I was 15.

Chinese Culture is my first language without doubt. I accept it naturally, use it comfortably, and believe it deeply. It teaches me how to be a good person, mainly of morally influences, and the beauty of the nature, however, I didn't learn much logical, rational mindset from my mother-tongue, my mother-culture. British Culture, its language opens another totally different window , it is a window of European Culture. It emphasizes rational thinking, logical, and rule of law. Not only what history have shown us in the West, but the language itself, is constructed by very logic basis and spirit of clarity. It reminds me of the importance of mastering both Chinese and English. English is more flexible than Chinese. Chinese is more expressive than english when it comes to poetry and sensibility. The language of Chinese is a picture which can move you. Every chinese letter has profound meaning to be interpreted. It is a code of culture. English, however is likely to be a good tool of thinking.
