Today, even if I go to Szech-wan, I don't have any problems communicating. Down to the present, there are still some professors who say that my stays in those Tungkan villages were bad for my Chinese, but I think speaking Chinese with a Tungkan or a Kansu accent is alright--certainly a lot better than speaking Chinese with a Moscow accent!
今天，即使到了四川，和他們溝通都不成問題，到現在我還是認為，雖然有些老教授說我去東幹對說中文有負面影響，但東幹味道也好，甘肅味道也好，總是比莫斯科味道的漢語好吧！
