I would invite you to visit Richmond BC which happens to be majority Asian (on top of my head 72% +) and majority of that Chinese. A Chinese national moving to Richmond would not struggle too much without English language.
Why did you mention literature at all?

- munk-a 7y agoA lot of metro-area services that extend into Richmond don't have chinese language support, and moving to a neighboring city will present a number of issues as signage very quickly drops off to english only once you cross the Fraser. Additionally interactions with officials are likely quite stressful if you're very weak in english - the local Services BC almost certainly has quite good language coverage, but law enforcement would be hit or miss - ditto with emergency services (Ambulance, Hospital, Fire). Lastly, if you're going for residency or citizenship then you'll need solid english or french comprehension, and you'll likely be going through the downtown vancouver citizenship office.
