crouchingdragon Posted October 26, 2011 at 08:08 PM Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 at 08:08 PM I have heard the expression, Beijing Tong, to describe someone that is either an Expert about Beijing or 2) perhaps implies someone that has great affection for Beijing. Can someone please elaborate on the meaning of Beijing Tong, then write the correct form of Tong in this expression in Chinese so I may learn the character. Many Thanks, -M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samitakamaki Posted October 26, 2011 at 08:58 PM Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 at 08:58 PM 通 is a suffix that denotes that someone is an expert. 中国通 means sinologue for example. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
