I know this may not make sense (it's really bad), but may you let me know if the approach/voice is okay (ish)? Thanks!
Traditional written Mandarin is a beauty and an art in itself; every stroke and defined detail is like the majestic quality within the Mona Lisa. However, what happens when an artist ignores these fine details as he emulates Da Vinci’s masterpiece? Where are the intricate dances of the brush? Where is the story within the image? And most of all, what would happen if other artists, too, blotched mounds of paint on the canvas and claimed that their work still had the essence of the original?
For several decades, this new type of “artistic style” has been introduced and taught to millions of the new generation. Simplified Mandarin has proliferated throughout many countries beyond mainland China, and it has even become the most acknowledged form of the written Mandarin language. “Traditional Mandarin?” some may scoff. “Why must we learn that written language? Simplified is easy enough- it’s simplified!”
