The story told in this article shocked me, even sending shivers down my spine. It was the first time I learned that such things had also occurred in the English-speaking world. China carried out its second round of character simplification in 1977[1], which has left many Chinese people, including my grandmother, unable to read characters normally to this day. They continue to write those weird "second simplified" in their lives. I always believed this to be one of the crime of the Bolsheviks destroying Chinese culture, and I never imagined such a thing could happen in the English-speaking world.
