I've also had a Chinese friend ask me whether _Song of Joy_ - the awful
(not a word i normally use; but this one deserves it) pop version of
Beethoven's joy theme - was Chinese.
Well: it _was_ being sung by a HK Cantopop diva at the time....
Wishing all Chinese listmembers a very happy & prosperous lunar new
year; & making absolutely no attempt to transliterate my pathetic
guangzhouhua....
All the best,
