This deck combines vocabulary from New Practical Chinese Reader (2nd Edition) with mnemonic stories inspired by Heisig’s Remembering the Hanzi. It’s designed for learners who want to remember characters through meaning, imagery, and structure, not just rote memorization.
I used ChatGPT to create this deck. The first card is useless, just suspend it. If and when I figure out how to remove it I will.
All credit to the original authors. The Heisig stories are rephrased, but retain the imagery and key words and details.
