That’s what I thought, I’m not old but I thought in my late teens it would be late to learn Chinese but for me I was already kinda fluent in Cantonese( I come from a Chinese family) before I could understand now I can understand some Mandarin and can read some Chinese(simplified specifically). It’s really a “work smarter not harder”, once you get the pronunciation and what the characters means you realize there are some easy to remember. I really couldn’t read any Chinese before and I thought it was hard I thought to myself “I will never be able to read Chinese” but it’s not as hard if you make it easier for yourself. I don’t know how to put it but a lot of characters how they’re written and what they mean somehow are connected like ‘fire’ 火(huǒ) through out many years it’s changed how it’s written but it’s kinda shaped like fire.
Four months after Nick Mullen aired this masterpiece, it spontaneously got stuck in my head. Can't believe it has been four months. Thanks Nick.

Nick Mullen? What's the context here?

@@irferf Nick Mullen is a comedian and podcaster. On his podcast 'Cumtown,' he was challenged on his claim that Jackie Chan did the music for Mulan. He proceeded to play parts of a handful of Jackie Chan songs, including this one to prove his point. Jackie Chan sang on the Chinese version of Mulan, so Nick was only sort of right, but they were all surprised at how great Jackie's music is. Nick went as far as calling Jackie Chan "Chinese Billy Joel."
