We definitely need two Chinese tutors. Calling them with the five
letter name is appropriate.

This requires changing tutor/tutor.vim. Currently it cuts off
everything after the first two characters in line 44. That will require
some work. Probably by using s:lang around line 78, where Chinese is
handled. That avoids having to change much in the rest of the file.
