Wouldn't the best way to go about this is form an idea of what would work best, then get one of the fan-friendly club people who read this site to ask ZZ's translator very nicely to write out the correct Chinese translation for us ?
Chaps & Ladies of course, as I understand it due to China's current world ranking & the Permit law, ZZ Cannot play for any other side in this Country. Does not stop him moving back home or across Europe to a non EU nation. So I think we'll be seeing ZZ see out his Three year contract at the very least with the Addicks.
As I think Look Out said I think the impact would be better with no english on it but possibly the CAFC logo.
That way Charlton fans (through usual channels) and Chinese fans would know it means and others will enquire. Feels more intimate that way. Ah how cuddly.
I think the costs relative to impact are negligible and it should be done asap regardless of ZZs future. We could always flog it on EBay.

"ZZ The Valley is your home forever" in Chinese“郑智 山谷永远是你的家” or the ZZ's Red Army would do it for me. I really like this idea and dare I say, if he doesn't stay long-term, his impact here has been huge and I for one will not forget him.

They are quotes from Mao Tse-Tung...
Well, sort of BFR.
Mao did live in London for a while in the 1930s and worked as waiter. Who knows if he popped along to watch Charlton at the Valley. I'm going to start a rumour that he did. I fact my dad remembers meeting him there. There were having a chat during a game when Mao said that he couldn't afford the bus fare home to Clapham and wasn't looking forward to the work. My dad said "don't worry me old china, even a walk of a dozen miles starts with a single step".

I remember my grandfather who lived in Brixton talking about this Chinese geezer whose name he said was somemink like a Mousey Toe. Never thought there could be any connection......but now I wonder.........?

Yes, as far as I know Mao Tse-Tung never lived in London or the UK for that matter.
Lenin and Trostsky however did, Lenin was known as Mr Richter during his stay in London and lived near Kings Cross.
Actually, when Mao Tse-Tung created the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army of China, the Red Army part came from when he studied Politics under the guidance of Mr Norris Whitaker, Professor of Politics at Peking University and coming from Woolwich - an ardent Charlton Fan.
Norris would often have been heard singing "Red Army" around the campus of the University and would often tell his students that the Addicks -the "Red Army" was the biggest and most powefull force in the world...
Mao - who idolised Norris wanted to pay homage to his professor and this amazing "Red Army" that he was told about.
Ho Chi Minn did actually live and work in London (1915-17) and Paris (1917-23) in odd jobs, among others as a pastry cook at the Carlton Hotel in London.

Shame after such a glittering career that his last memorable action on a football pitch was that headbutt...and I really liked his song about legs and knowing how to use them (ironic for he surely does!).

Agree with the Peanut man.
i must admit the old chinese poem has made me giggle all afternoon
I am with Look Out the sooner the better
A simple we love ZZ surely would solve the issue (and if he left we can sell the flag to the new team)
Best idea on here for ages
We already have one, haven't you seen it?
Cheers
just an idea
No we don't!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who?
All Palace fans are paper tigers.
Football is not love. Football is a hammer which we use to crush the enemy.
Football is war without bloodshed, while war is football with bloodshed.
When the enemy advances, withdraw; when he stops, harass; when he tires, strike; when he retreats, pursue.
Passivity is fatal to us. Our goal is to make the enemy passive.
Be resolute, fear no sacrifice and surmount every difficulty to win victory.

Carlton does sound a bit like Charlton.
