WELL DONE GUYS.  PROTECT OUR HERITAGE.  STOP THE INVASION OF MANDARIN TO CANTONESE.   TO ME, IT IS A KIND OF ETHIC CLEANSING.  AS WORSE AS NAZISM TRYING TO FINISH OFF THE JEWS DURING WWII.  NOT ONLY CANTONESE NEED PROTECTION, OTHER REGIONAL DIALECTS OF CHINA SHOULD BE PROTECTED.  ANY GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS RULING CANTON OR SOUTHERN CHINA MUST BE FLUENT IN CANTONESE.  MAY BE WORTH TRYING TO RAISE THE PROFILE BY CONTACTING UNESCO.  IN THE UNITED KINGDOM,  PEOPLE IN WALES SPEAK AND WRITE WELSH IN ADDITION TO ENGLISH.  EVEN IN DEVELOPING COUNTRY LIKE INDIA, PEOPLE SPEAK THEIR OWN REGIONAL LANGUAGES IN ADDITON TO ENGLISH.    IN HONG KONG, WE SPEAK AND WRITE CANTONESE CHINESE AND ENGLISH.  YOU GUYS SHOULD ALSO CAMPAIGN TO PROMOTE TRADITIONAL CHINESE WRITING.  WHEN I TRAVEL AROUND ASIA, VISITING OLD TEMPLES, THE LOCALS ASK ME THE MEANING OF POEMS WRITTEN IN TRADITIONAL CHINESE.  YOU SEE.  I AM SORRY FOR NOT TYPING CHINESE AS I LIVE AND WORK IN LONDON, AND MY COMPUTER DOESN'T HAVE A CHINESE WRITING PAD.   GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL.  LONDONER.
