Shih shih shih shih shih

Shih shih shih shih shih shih, shih shih shih, shih shih shih shih. Shih shih shih shih shih shih shih. Shih shih, shih shih shih, shih shih shih shih shih. Shih shih, shih shih shih shih shih, shih shih shih shih shih, shih shih shih shih shih shih. Shih shih shih shih shih shih shih shih shih. Shih shih shih, shih shih shih shih shih shih, shih shih shih, shih shih shih shih shih shih shih shih, shih shih, shih shih shih shih shih shih shih

Shih shih shih shih!

Every character in the professor’s story is pronounced shih. The last four mean something like ‘Go on, check that it’s true!’ The professor’s point was clear; like it or not, Chinese can’t be reduced to an alphabet. The characters are here to stay.

Modern Chinese characters are highly developed pictograms. Sometimes it is possible to make out the root, but for most it is not. ‘Horse’, for example, still looks vaguely like the animal. With a bit of imagination, the mane, the back, the four legs and the tail in the hook on the right hand side are still visible.
