If the word “sneeze” is demanded to be writted down with pen in Chinese, it is believed that only a few of us can do it well. But if operating with computer it is sure that no one would miss the job. What’s the difference? And why? Because of the domination of computer not only in our work places but also our lives, we began to lose the sense of constructures and strokes of Chinese characters. While leading a modern life and praising for the convenience brought by the hi-techs, have you ever worried about the social indifference to Chinese characters that stand for the Chinese culture?
Different from alphabet, every Chinese character contains specific sound, form, meaning as well as cultural background, which, instead of being simply understood just by buttoning on a keyboard, only can be remembered by practising repeatily and thinking cautiously. When we were young, and when we were elementary students, our teachers always demanded us to write down the Chinese characters just learnt for maybe 100 times. But nowadays, some people consider that with the irreversibility of informationalization, hand-writing, which is troublesome and a waste of paper, will be eliminated for its less convenience comparing to typing.
