The study of the Chinese language opens the way to different important fields such as Chinese politics, economy, history, or archaeology. But to study Chinese finally means to study a culture, a people. At the center of Chinese civilization is its wealthy heritage of novels, short stories, poetry, drama, and, additionally, films. They mirror the values, the struggles, the sensibility, the fun, and also the sorrows of those nice individuals and often offer insights even into the most intimate feelings of people in the past or into high-level Beijing politics at the present that cannot be found anywhere else. 

So, learning Chinese is the smartest move that you can make!
