Chinese Character Simplification Affect on Society (for Hong Kong)
Hello everyone,
My name is Laura Buksnyte and I am from Lithuania. Currently I am a 4th year bachelor student at Vytautas Magnus University studying Cultures and Languages of East Asian Countries and I am writing my bachelor thesis. In order to fully understand the people's view on the simplification and what people now think about traditional and simplified Chinese characters, I would like to ask your help by filling in this questionnaire.
The questionnaire is anonymous, the answers are only going to be used to varify or deny some myths about the subject.
Thank you for your time!
