The three foreign languages are all self-taught by Jin Xiaoyu, who slowly understands by reading the original works, and will also read some Chinese translations of the original works and try to translate them themselves. The first readers of his translations were his father, who sometimes gave a lot of advice, but he often insisted on his ideas.
"The information I get from the outside now is mainly listening to the radio and reading books, and the TV set is not very dare to buy it - the quality of the TV set at the same price is getting worse and worse, and I have smashed several of them in the past few years when I was sick."
