I remember that when I was in high school, my Chinese language teacher would fly into a rage whenever the subject of the PRC's simplified characters came up. He would curse the Chinese Communists as irresponsible wastrels who had squandered the precious historical treasures bequeathed by our ancestors.
還記得高中時，國文老師一提到中共推行的簡體字就暴跳如雷，大罵中共是不負責任的「敗家子」，把老祖宗留下來的歷史文化寶藏敗個精光。
