For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community. This website is maintained sporadically, people may still join and membership is still open, but if you are a spammer, stay away. The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date. There are plans to make it more useful for static information in the future. If anyone needs information about Changchun or China, you may post a message and it probably will get a response but not immediately.

Hey every one, I have been living in China for almost two years and during that time I have been using a old school "paper" dictionary to help me with my Chinese studies.

The thing  is: I just don't want to settle for any cheap Edictionary, because these are usually oriented to native Chinese…
