Sure, safe. Just for you and everybody who read that. No problem at all.
And some user of some gaming(?) site used it for his username:

#3Probably the same guy reused it a hundred times on a hundred different bitcoin exchanges that all got hacked. (tongue in cheek I hope)

Here's the entire translated version
Using the above principles, how can we design a good password?
Tip 1: Replace characters with ones that sound the same
For example, you can replace the letter e in succeed with the number 1 {note this sounds the same in Mandarin}, so that it becomes succ11d, which is easy to remember and combines numbers and letters.
Tip 2: Replace characters with ones that look the same
For example, you can replace the o in dog with 0 and it becomes d0g. It mixes letters and numbers.
Tip 3: fill with special symbols
For example, the above password d0g is not long enough, so you can add special symbols at the end, e.g. d0g!(!(!(!(!(!(, it will be easy to remember, but hackers will need 12,340 centuries to crack it.
Tip 4: Using Chinese input method
For example, the phonetic input method of the four words "My Password" is the combination of "ji32k7au4a83". At first glance, it is a random combination, but it is meaningful.
Pretty hilarious all around, anyone checked if d0g!(!(!(!(!(!( is in the database too?

I just checked and... looks like it's not been seen by HIBP:
>Good news — no pwnage found!
>This password wasn't found in any of the Pwned Passwords loaded into Have I Been Pwned. That doesn't necessarily mean it's a good password, merely that it's not indexed on this site. If you're not already using a password manager, go and download 1Password and change all your passwords to be strong and unique.

#8Related story: For some weird reason, I memorized the serial key for a very popular software (I must be fifteen then). Even today, I can recite the 25-letter key without a hitch. And I have used its first ten letters as a password to one of my accounts. Guess what? The password has been used 4000+ times before [1]. It's hard to digest the fact that there are at least a thousand people in the world who did the same thing.

Password would be 密码. 我的密码 is "my password".
In China they just use pinyin, so I was baffled as to how ji32k7au4a83 could represent 我的密码. Turns out it's the keys you press if you have Taiwanese input.
