Yes, Chinese can have more than one baby. I have one sibling and my wife has six siblings.

China is not as poor and uncivilized as you think. If your first China destination is Shanghai, Beijing or Guangzhou, you will be amazed.

Chinese do not speak one single language of Chinese. For myself, my mother tongue is Min Nan dialect and the Mandarin is mainly used to communicate with people from other parts of China. The difference between Min Nan and Mandarin is much more than that between English and German.

中国人并不只说汉语这一门语言。就我自己而言，我的母语是闽南语，而普通话主要是用于和中国其他地方的人交流。闽南语和普通话之间的不同可比英语和德语大的多。
