Yes, only I don't need that complex. I mean \chinesenumber{123} will give
"one hundred and twenty-three" but all I want is "one two three." Besides,
I don't like to copy such long codes since I really don't want to load
font-chi.tex
which gives weird spacing problems while typesetting Chinese along with
English. Anyway, I'd love to learn something rather than to use something.

Thanks.
