Dear Dr. Ming,

Thank you and we will certainly consider coming to your hospital if we don't have successful treatment hear. So far the treatment has been quite good with Todd's muscles feeling stronger and his skin noticeably warmer. He is also doing deep breathing and strength exercises for his hands and muscles. We are very hopeful. I think I can find your city and hospital. I will write to you if I cannot find it. What types of treatment do you have in your hospital? Acupuncture? Tuina? Qi Gong?

Thanks again for your correspondence.

亲爱的明大夫！

谢谢你！我们肯定会考虑来你们的医院，如果这里治疗不成功。到目前为止，治疗非常地好，托德的肌肉感觉更强壮了，他的皮肤明显更温暖了，他正在做深呼吸和对手的力量锻炼。我们非常有希望我能够找到你的城市和医院。如果我找不到将给你写信，在你们医院的治疗方式是针炙、是推拿、还是气功？

谢谢你的回复！

意大利，KI

So I thought I might start a thread with some basic China phrases and some Chinese symbols

A flan after my own heart!

The RP Gang also has a thread with phrases and such - That's not to say we don't need more than one, by any means, so please do carry on!

If you don't mind, I'll add these to the Gunrunner's list and post this thread in amongst the others.

Also, I'd like to ask if you'd be available to translate phrases upon request? There was another flan who was doing that for awhile, but he/she seems to have vanished into the black.
