There is a very interesting article about gender-inclusive pronouns in Chinese, including mentions of characters yet to be added to the Unicode set, making use of Ideographic Description Sequences (IDS): ⿰无也, ⿰㐅也, ⿰男也...

They had a truck at 43rd/ 9th last night. I asked the guy ahead of me if he was getting the spicy brains but he shrugged no. They got duck blood noodles, chicken feet and pig feet (trotters), chicken skin, beef fat, and a tin foil bowl of spicy brains. Fantastic variety, noodles, too ~
(I got sticks of beef, lamb, chicken, and shrimp, eight bucks. Had to decapitate and peel my shrimp tho)

I'm watching #55DaysInPeking (again) after a long hiatus & it's just as annoying now as when I 1st watched it.

While it has it's moments, it's reflective of the patronizing & racist way in which the #US film industry has depicted China & the Chinese people for nearly 100 years.

It was a blockbuster movie when it was released in 1963 & stars #CharlestonHeston, #AvaGardner & #DavidNiven & is set during the #BoxerRebellion in China during 1899-1901 which was a grass roots attempt to oust foreign "invaders" from China.

While it failed, the Boxer Rebellion is believed to have contributed to the fall of the Manchu (Ching) Dynasty & the formation of the Kuomingtang (Chinese Nationalist Party) that later fell to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) which then led to the formation of the #RepublicOfChina in Taiwan, which (of course) the CCP does NOT recognize & is just waiting to invade & retake in the name of China.

Worth watching in an historical film context but not otherwise.
