Q: Any Chinese Shorthand?

For Western languages  a variety of shorthand scripts are available. Is there such a thing for the Chinese language?

If there is such a thing, does anyone have experience with it?

  All I know of is the 'simplified Chinese' option when choosing subtitles, but that seems to simply mean 'dumbed down'; i'm not aware of actual Chinese characters being simplified in any way in themselves. If you were to strip away any of the particles or radicals or whatever they're called, I think you'd be left with an entirely different character and meaning.

What we call "simplified Chinese characters" today are in fact the first generation of the simplification. Yes there was a second generation of simplification starting from 1977. It was abolished after 10 years of practice, but still widely used by many people who experienced that time.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
