  1. Hi Min-Min. Thanks for your tremendous work

    When randomly clicking on a 汉子 on the 主页, then it is not possible to 直接 go to “older page” or “next page”, we always have to go back to the 主页 and choose a different 汉子 to study. Is it possible for you to add up this function?

    谢谢你, it would help flow the learning.
    Best Regards

    1. Hi Eric Haziza,
      Thanks for your suggestion. I will try to find a plugin that will allow navigation to previous and next word.

    1. Hi Eric Haziza,
      I have redesigned my site and added the “previous post” and “next post” feature.
      I hope this will ease the navigation.
