- notauser 16y agoThere was a comment on Reddit a while back about what the 140 character limit means in different places: In English, you get a comment. In Japanese, you get a poem or a brief news article. In Chinese, you get a short story... it might as well be a novel. And someone gave an example Chinese tweet that translated to: "You guys are the Sina fans other there? 'Keep on Perseverance' (some literate group) is publishing some online literature collection, referencing to the sissy poet character in the 'Cellphone' TV series. I know the people in 'Sina Literature Collection" (another group) well since junior high school; often went to their chat room to chit-chat bull. His (Keep on Perservance) main page's arrangement is overwhelming; I can't digest them. My preference is simple, slim, light-breeze style of literature. Hey, today is the clan chief's birthday, too. Don't know how he/she enjoying his/her day in Swissland. May be eating chocolate fondue? I can't do winter hibernation anymore. Have to come out. And have been messing around with you all day long."
