Use only one Chinese character to describe your country in 2014. The following list is what countries using Chinese widely have chosen:
Malaysia 航 (aircraft)
Japan 税 (tax)
Singapore 乱 (chaos)
China 法 (law)
If you have been keeping up with world news, a cursory look at this list will not bring surprises. How apt can you get? However, the writer of the article did mention that Singapore is the only country that "chose a character based on domestic and international events." This cannot be helped. Singapore is tiny. Anything that happens elsewhere has a direct impact on the country and its people.
Here's a challenge for you: what word (in your own language) would you use to describe your life in 2014?
Cheers to a year of new language acquisition!
