As a student of the Mandarin Chinese language, my heart and mind will always embrace Traditional Chinese as the standard of the Chinese script. I plea that we must never forget Traditional Chinese orthography which has existed and has never changed for thousands of years. I do not agree with Mainland China's policy of using Simplified as the standard written language. We must preserve tradition

Don't let this genocide of our history continue!

Other Asian countries such as Japan and Korea also have used it for hundreds of years, and is an integral part of their cultural heritage. In addition, simplified Chinese is not as accurate and frequently causes confusion. In this era of computor, traditional Chinese is as easy as the simplified one to type, but is much more precise to read.

Traditional style characters is art, and getting rid of it is similar to saying abstract art should be banned because most people just dont get it.

Personally, I learned how to write characters in simplified form, and it's not more difficult to learn traditional (which I'm learning right now). The writen language isn't the problem. More analysis at the true cause should be done.
