Minmin 你好，
Is something missing in this sentence?
他 已 年 过 六 十 ， 但 毫 不 见 老 。
Your Pinyin says: ta ZAO yi nian …
I still read your work everyday. Thanks.
Hi Joe,
I just noticed that. The “zao” should be “早”. But it makes no difference if taking away.
I have corrected it.
Thanks. I hope you enjoy learning Chinese and find this site useful.
