只有客家话像北方(普通)话 (湖北 ?), 其他南方话 (广东, 潮州, 广西, 海南, 福州, 兴化, 福建)都互不相同: “十里一腔”。
四川(邓小平)是南方的例外, 也讲北方话。原因是13世纪蒙古攻打南宋时, 久久不能胜利, 于是从西南的四川包抄南方。蒙古军里的兵士多是北方受降的汉兵 (金国 / 辽国 / 西夏的汉人百姓), 战后世代留在四川。

To the outsiders of the USA, we can understand the “Common Core Math Program” is good for American children education, which is supported by Bill Gates with generous $6-billion donation.
The American parents who resist and oppose the ‘Common Core’ Math were like the Singaporean parents who opposed the “Singapore Math Program” in the 1980s. The Singapore parents had to go through remedial classes before they could coach their kids in the ‘new way’.
