Thanks for sharing.

Consider learning Mandarin Chinese, as that could be your bridge to one of the biggest single market / economy for next decades. But be aware that Mandarin Chinese is not the easiest language to learner.

Greeting from China. If you find pronuncing the 4 tones of Mandarin a great challenging, you should feel luck that you are not learning Cantonese, which has a hell of 6 (some said 9) different tones. Check the difference between the Mandarin & Cantonese. But enjoy the learning process!

OH this is indeed a very special angle and it seems not many other guys had written about that. Hope you good luck sourcing for the materials.

As it's inscribed on something, I think the chance to get two characters in reversed order might be small. It should mean to be 萱花草, yes the Hemerocallis fulva: 萱花草，又名萱草，俗名:忘忧草 The flower language: 1) Forget your sadness; 2) Thank you mum. 3) Hide some of your complicated feelings... BTW, on what surface was this inscribed on?
