The funniest part: just as interaction with the West in the 19th and early 20th centuries led the Chinese to introduce gendered pronouns, now exposure to the cultural trends of the West may once again be leading to the introduction of another pronoun: this time an explicitly gender-neutral one. One cannot help but feel that this whole complication could have been avoided by just sticking with a single non-gendered pronoun, as many other languages still do.
