thanks for the answers...mh how can I learn mandarin to talk with him next time are there really such difference...don`t they have a standart language? wow is hokkien really a bit like russian?
Lin Dan himself is for sure Hakka, although he comes from Fujian Province. I doubt that he knows Hokkien dialect (one of the many dialects in Fujian Province). Yeah, XXF is of course Cantonese.
Not for those in their 70's and 80's, with whom I can communicate in Hokkien very smoothly. Their Hokkien is still pure
Yes, of course, Putonghua is the official language of the country, and the common language among the Chinese from the various dialect groups.
How's Lin Dan after walkover at SO? Does anyone know how Lin Dan is doing after the Swiss Open walkover when he played against Simon Santoso in Semi Final due to stomach pains?
haha y lin dan is not angry?? with peter rubbing his head will like messing up his hair..isnt it he care so much abt his hair??heheh
I heard an ex-Chinese player on one tournament commenting on how much time LD spends on his hair - want to look good even when playing, huh. PG the big brother just being brotherly with the spiky young fella. I like the one KJ/LD pix. KJ when not smiling looks serious but here he looks so warm.
