Today, when doing a questionnaire for the little kid, Vincent asked me how to say "Zhuangyan" in English. I was suddenly stopped, feeling blank-absence. There's no such word in my English dictionary, I mean, in my mind. It seemed that I have never read some description about any architecture with such a word. Actually, this was heard a lot all over China, of course in the language of Chinese. Then, I couldn't help asking myself, is this word special in communism? If so, then is such kind of case "code-switching"? Say, Vincent has just switched the "political systemic" codes into another language?
