I like the way you wrote the syllabication makes it easy to read and imagine the sound.

It's true - better to pretend you're dumb sometimes, saved a lot of Jew doing that in WWII.

so the cat at the gif .. playing "close open".?.. so cute !

Sort:  

I thought some people may have learnt how to read Pinyin so would be helpful. Either way it's easier to identify for non Chinese speakers.

I think in WWII the agenda was just ethnic cleansing resulting in mass genocide. Not sure how much pretending dumb as opposed to pretending you're not a jew would help.

Cat's explain everything!

@sweetsssj yes it's easy to read it indeed

as for the Jews who did that, there were times when some Jews were asked what they do for a living and pretended they were not highly educated and are doing more of a blue - collar job and they we're spared compared to those who showed they know it all.

Such incident was shown in some of the scenes in Schindler's list.
