This was such an interesting read in the context of me being half-Korean and my wife being mainland Chinese, and we met in Korea, recently moved to NYC... The difference of traditional and simplified was a very real learning experience for me (especially finding subtitles for movies), and for her, experiencing american-chinese culture and history here.
Your write-up was especially fun to read because it avoided the touchy politics of mao vs chiang, mainland vs hongkong and taiwan, etc., that I've only somewhat recently been exposed to (including Korea somewhat). It seems very neutrally written and focuses more on the interesting details than the emotional tribalism that I sometimes see.

Thanks again!
