That's great! I wish I were a leaf! And is China a new euphemism? I don't know if I want anyone to 'China' this cartoon fan.

Actually, if that translation software translated something like "I'm just a beginner" to "I am a leaf" it's quite poetic.

Because I am a leaf in life, even though I'm quite old.

(And it was great for a laugh -- thanks for posting, D.K.)

Oh that it is quite normal however, if I write a contribution in an English forum, I have also etlich problems with the grammar. Vocabularies are no problem, but the sentence-position.
Anyway, recently I have also read written here as anything only.
You are just pros, and I am animation in matters only a simple amateur.
There I am rather quietly and read your contributions admiring.

Using translation software... is always fun
retranslated and back into english again.

You/they are straight pros, and I am liveliness only a simple amateur in matters.
I am there quite quietly and read admiring your dues.

Enough boring posts
I risk it to write some stupid sentences with the help of my own brain/mind, bah, however...
