We only have that to a very minor extent in the United States. It is not so much different dialects (although there are some words that might only see much use in one region or another), but a lot of people from different regions have different accents; after televisions started being in more and more homes 60-70 years or so ago, this became slightly less pronounced, but one can still sometimes tell what part of the country a visitor is from by their accent. It is
usually not enough to be a barrier in communicating, though.
I have that problem even with family and close friends, lol. My hearing has been significantly damaged from past employment (industrial noise) and recreation (hunting - for food, not sport - with firearms, attending too many concerts and occasionally sitting far too close to the speakers at venues in which the sound even midway back in the audience was loud enough to be a physical force against one's chest, et cetera). Plus, I was extremely ill several years ago and either the prolonged very high fever or the acetaminophen that I was (over)dosing myself with in an attempt to stay alive caused me to permanently have tinnitus. Therefore, I cannot hear "real" sounds very well at all, and when there are multiple ones simultaneously (such as someone speaking to me in a noisy room/environment), I have trouble discriminating them - but I hear a "ringing" (it's actually a fairly high-pitched tone) every second that I am awake, and presumably will until I die. In other words, unless I am in an otherwise silent room, it is difficult for me to understand what a person is saying to me unless I read their lips. (Now if only my
vision were not so poor...)
That novel was published in 1813. As such, it is considered to be in the public domain due to its age. Since you have enjoyed it even though it is not a recent work, perhaps you would benefit from visiting the Project Gutenberg? It contains over 50,000 books (in digital format, of course) that were previously published by bona fide publishers - including
Pride and Prejudice and seven more of Jane Austen's works. Every book found on that website is in the public doman, (usually) either because it is old enough that its copyright has expired or because it was released into the public domain to begin with. Alas, there do not seem to be Chinese language/dialect versions of the books, only English and some in French, German, and Portuguese. But if you enjoy reading older books in general, and do not mind reading them in a non-native language, there is no cost to do so. And it might (IDK) help you with your language skills, although since the bulk of the books are quite old, you will not find modern slang (I would not consider this to be a loss, lol) in them. The project used to give away DVDs that contained a great many of the books in electronic format, but they discontinued this in 2014 (due to lack of funds, I assume). However, they have a page about making your own DVD (or CD) and encourage people to do so, both for their own use and to give to others. Here is a link to their webpage:

It is in no way a competitor to any of this forum's
sponsors, lol - but it is not cannabis-related, either, so I cannot guarantee that the link will not disappear. If that happens, feel free to send me a PM or email and I will send it to you via reply.
They were being truthful. I think it would be advantageous to read it. (I feel somewhat silly - a citizen of the United States recommending a book to a citizen of China... that was written by an ancient Chinese
.)
Well... I cannot speak as to how popular it may or may not be. Many in my country would not think of reading a work that is more than ten or fifteen years old (sometimes I worry that many here would not think...
of reading :sad: ). But I have read works by philosophers that lived hundreds of years ago, in some few cases, thousands. So, for me... Well, I feel that this book is as much about using one's mind as it is about warfare, so I did not see anything unusual in my reading it.
Some people might feel that is an example of irony. But I would say that those people have neither knowledge of the book or of Alfred Nobel's life.
I look forward to seeing it.
I thought about suggesting an electrical receptacle be added inside the tent, but changed my mind because people set their grow environments up in different ways, and what would be considered a perfect placement of such an item by some people would be seen as being in the wrong location by others.
I also thought about asking if it would be possible to add in some sort of attachment points (hooks, rings, et cetera) on each corner post at various heights so that people could use them to attach a scrog or other training device but, again, it would be difficult to do so in such a way to please everyone; and this would undoubtedly add an expense that not everyone would see a need for.
Oh, and I was serious about being happy to test/show a tent for you (assuming that we could find a size that I can use) if you feel that my doing so might help people see how they look and perform in the real world (etc.) and, therefore, decide to purchase them. But I will not mention it again so as to not be thought a pest.
That reminds me, I should try to post something in my journal tomorrow, lol. I have been neglecting it (shame on me!) due to family members being in town (and HERE :rolleyes ) recently, but everyone has left so I can get back to my favorite hobby....
You can send email to 
It's no problem,i guess only my mandarin is good,my English is as poor as many dalects.As you know,China is with a big population.Each different province has their own language,and each area or county has their own language...and so on...
Master Sun's Rules of the warfare is very famous,many businessman or political people like to read it.They said it's useful,maybe i should get one later.So it's also very popular overseas.I think this book should be nominated to Nobel Prize,haha.
Thanks for your help ,how is your girls today?
As i can see,you also like reading,and i like to read the words on paper instead of on internet. When i touch the paper,there are memories.
