I'm bored, so I decided to translate this to Chinese.

👍 I'll find some people to review it once you're done with draft

Finally finish translated all the pages, it's a long run. Some pages like x1 and x2 is still untranslated because I have other things to do, so good luck to the next person (I might translate it in the future if no one does).

Something worth mentioning, according to Wikipedia, toki pona is translated to 道本语. I'm not sure if I should put that instead of the word "toki pona", but for consistency, I decided to leave it as "toki pona". I also changed the indexing number for the pages from Chinese to Arabic numbers, because 第七a页 is very unaesthetic.

Also, in page 10 line 45:

As a pre-verb, the word "ken" functions much like the English word "can":

When translating this, I wonder if I should just hard-translate it, or actually change it to Chinese perspective, so I referred to the Esperanto translation, and realize it hard-translated it, so I do the same. Then I realized that kinda defeats the purpose of translating as people who read the translated text are not familiar to English, plus I checked German and Russian translation and those translated "can" to their native word for "can", so I decided to do the same.

I do found some minor issue while translating, I guess I will create an issue for that.

If the PR is pending I will consider deploying it separately on GitHub Pages

I reached out to people again asking to review, since I'm not able to speak the language
