#teochew

Sometimes I follow Chinese-ish media (not all Chinese media comes from China) because it’s so relatable to some aspects of my life ‘Getting robbed (but you’re Teochew and you try to feed them)’ @PhoenixSerenity@beige.party and I would totally do that, but only if they’re not fash (Oh, our carrot cake is savory. It’s also not the same carrot.) #Teochew

A BBC story about the Teochew movie I posted about recently. Teochew is my mother tongue and I hate that I have rarely / never been able to listen to or watch media in it, because of Mandarin hegemony everywhere. This story has more context: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5yzv23g75eo #Teochew #Chinese #Languages #Singapore #TootSea #Movies #DearYou

A popular Chinese movie made in my native language Teochew (extremely rare, we don’t have much media in the language) made it big in China Singapore decided to screen it in its Mandarin language dub It will most definitely remove most of the joy for me so I’ll try to get it in the original or go to Johor, Malaysia to watch it https://www.thinkchina.sg/society/how-chinese-film-sparked-cognitive-warfare-singapore #Movies #China #Teochew #Languages
