This is my first time posting don't kill me, please.
Last time I had a chat with my mom, we were talking about our O'mighty country which is:
Yeah, him.

So we were talking about chinese inventions when my mom suddenly said this:
 
It makes sense, but I still don't believe it...

But one thing that I really really believe that the Chinese invented in the printing process (and paper of course).



Before you had to write everything by hand, so when you make a mistakes it's all over. Imagine writing all those characters again and again...it's not fun, specially when you use chinese ink.

So this one person (whose name I don't remember) had an idea. What id you crave the characters on a small piece of wood and then place it on a board, put a piece of paper on it then voila a page of text. Plus, you can move theses smalls pieces of wood to make a different phrase, etc. It worked, however the wood couldn't withstand the pressure, so it breaks very quickly.



Troubled, he decide to take a walk (it's always the walk) and saw some marbles on the ground. He picked it up, the marble was really hard and solid. So he ask the kids playing there, what were they made out of. The kids told him that it was make from earth mix with water, and then grill in to oven. Surprised, he decide to try the same thing and it work the blocs lasted from a long time.
Yeah, that's France being hit by a shoe.(Why, cuz I don't like him.)
In the end, it ended up being some German who invented it...
Every time the teacher explain the invention of printing, I just feel like getting up a yell :" IT'S THE CHINESE WHO INVENTED IT." Yeah quite sad.

By the way, I have a question for all chinese people out there: Did you every try explaining to someone how does the chinese characters works?
