a lot of swes in China use pinyin (which is a romanization system for mandarin Chinese) for naming variables/func/etc

basic vocabulary such as time/test/thread/doc/… might be used along with Pinyin as well, so you will see things like dingdan_time, testJieguo, as a Chinese myself, I found this really hard to understand without a broader context since Chinese is a tonal language..
