Foreword:
this comes from a story about fish protection
in traditional chinese
we have four little points under the chinese character 魚(fish)
generally speaking
in chinese these points usually means water or something related to water
instead
what we have now in simplified chinese 鱼 is only a horizontal line
some people make jokes about it:
60 years ago
most of the fishes live in the water
but now
most of the fishes can only be seen on plates
(because this horizontal line looks like a plate)
simple is good
it makes life easy
however
everything comes at a price
we also lost something important
