Do many people that live in china try to speak all the languages spoken in china?
The most important language for the Chinese is Mandarin as this is the official dialect used in china. People tend to learn the local dialect/language used in their home town from their parents, and will talk in that at home. But once they start school they learn standard mandarin. Also in school they will learn English. Many Chinese learn English and see it as an important way of connecting with the west. That aside there is little interest in learning the other dialects in china, as people from different regions will converse in mandarin. However in the canton (guang dong) province, particularly Hong Kong and neighbouring areas there is a history of cantonese the local language. And many Chinese who work there choose to learn this. Plus lots of Chinese movies and music is in cantonese, giving it some social significance. Hope this puts things in perspective for you!
