The Advantage of Chinese
The United Nations evaluates Chinese as the most difficult language to learn in the world. (With incomplete statistics) At present, there are more than 100 languages in 56 ethnic groups in China, belonging to the Sino-Tibetan, Altaic, South Island, South Asian and Indo-European languages. In terms of text, there are 29 kinds of Chinese characters, including Chinese characters and 28 ethnic minority languages now in use. In Chinese, it also includes dialects such as Northern Dialect, Wu Dialect, Gan Dialect, Xiang Dialect, Gan Dialect, Cantonese Dialect, and Hakka Dialect. "Mandarin" means modern Chinese is the most widely used, but it is only one of the components of Chinese. In this way, Chinese is one of the most advanced languages in the world.

The Power of Chinese:
English is just a combination of 26 letters forming a "word" to mark the concept. The Chinese word has an independent meaning, and the combination of words "forms words" to mark the concept. The Chinese usually use a simple idiom to convert the meaning. Because idioms don't always make sense literally, you'll need to familiarize yourself with the meaning and usage of each idiom. That may seem like a lot of work, but learning idioms is fun, especially when you compare English idioms to the Chinese idioms.
If you want to explain Chinese idiom that only uses 4 Chinese characters, it is even more hard to explain it accurately.
Chinese Idiom: 才疏学浅：见识不广， 学问不深， 用于自谦
