If Chinese cannot be displayed normally on your computer, you may need
a font. But with your description, you might just need an input
method?

For fonts, I recommend WenQuanYi(文泉驿), it is a very good open
source Chinese font. Just use the command to install it (actually, it is
a set of fonts with different styles, you can choose to install
according to your needs):

apt install fonts-wqy-microhei
apt install fonts-wqy-zenhei

If what you actually need is an input method, I think ibus may be a good
choice, you can configure Chinese input through its GUI.
I actually use the ibus-rime(a rime input method engine encapsulated
using the ibus framework), but it may require more manual configuration
and is not suitable for beginners of a language.
