Deng Xiaoping was one of the most prominent leaders of the Chinese communist party. He is also well known for his quotation below:
不管白猫，黑猫，逮住老鼠就是好猫
Bùguǎn bái māo, hēi māo, dǎi zhù lǎoshǔ jiùshì hǎo māo
Doesn’t matter whether it is a white cat or a black cat, as long as it catches mice, it is a good cat.
Does 猫 look familiar? Yes this is the same 猫 from熊猫.
熊 (xióng): bear
猫 (māo): cat
熊猫 (xióngmāo): panda
老鼠 (lǎoshǔ): mouse
And how about these two colors we just learned?
白 (bái): white
黑 (hēi):black
Here are some more words worth learning
就是 (jiùshì): quite right; exactly; precisely
不管 (bùguǎn): no matter; regardless of
And some examples:
他就是我们的中文老师
Tā jiùshì wǒmen de zhōngwén lǎoshī
He is definitely our Chinese teacher.
不管什么国家的足球比赛，我都看
Bùguǎn shénme guójiā de zúqiú bǐsài, wǒ dōu kàn
No matter which country is playing, I watch all soccer games.
