Found this because there's a Westoid translation account that somehow thinks that this is a dunk on China.

Chinese social media is based

Can we get some of these as emojis? They're great

What website is this that has hanzi and pinyin together? I need this

[–] Dyno@hexbear.net 18 points 2 years ago

it looks like it was originally posted on bilibili, so idk if there's an option on the site to do that, or if it was edited in post or what

[–] blakeus12@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago (2 children)

real. hanzi is fuckin hard

[–] ProletarianDictator@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm picking it up quick, but there's always enough characters I don't recognize that prevent me from reading effectively. Sucks being able to read 80% of the text and get 0% of the meaning from it

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Pleco on android has an overlay that reads Chinese in apps and webpages and you can tap on a character to get the Pinyin and English translation

[–] ProletarianDictator@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

oh I have Pleco. I'll have to figure out how to use that

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Check out Pleco, the app has an overlay screen reader that lets you select Hanzi and comes with definitions and Pinyin

[–] blakeus12@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago

thanks, but i already have pleco. great recommendation though pleco fucks

[–] CyberSyndicalist@hexbear.net 24 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'm not sure I get it?

Is the original interpretation "come back to hometown as a dandelion" meant to be as in spreading in the wind?

And the misinterpretation akin to "pushing up daisies"?

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 49 points 2 years ago

He's floating back to his homeland on a parachute, like a dandelion seed on the wind. It's cute.

[–] commiewithoutorgans@hexbear.net 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's cool if it's about the wind spreading the seeds that float on wind! I hope that's a double meaning. I interpreted it as knowing he was going to die and become nutrients for flowers, which is cool but more sad

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 36 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No, it's childlike wonder. He's floating on the wind like a dandelion seed.

I want to Hamas release a video wearing these as patches while blowing up a tank or sniping an occupier
