The Lion-Eating Poet in the Stone Den

http://www.fa-kuan.muc.de/SHISHI.RXML

A way of showing the difficulties representing Chinese using the roman alphabet. There are so many homophones that a poem can be written in Chinese employing just one phoneme.
You can listen to the poem in Mandarin and Cantonese using real player which opens outside your browser.
