Can't agree more!
This Jiyi vs Touyi debate has turned into a nasty witch hunting and vulgar fight. Had expected more dignity and rationality from either side.
The only thing impressed me in this post is OP's Chinese language proficiency. If what he said was true, he must be the one and only CBC or ABC I've ever met who can attain such high level.
I was teaching local kids Chinese for free. My students are from all kinds of racial background. Leaving aside the non-chinese, the kids from Chinese families find it difficult to learn and maintain the proficiency, even those who had few years' schooling in China before moving to Canada or the States. Some understand and can speak, but barely read; the writing is the most difficult part. Living and studying in an English environment, Chinese characters are nothing easier than alien symbols.
The rich vocab, almost flawless grammar and accurate usage of idioms has proven OP a linguistic genius, there must be some special tricks with which his parents taught him so well and I really hope that OP can share it with most of the readers here who as the parents desperately trying to help their children keep their cultural roots.
