I think you should better do a format reinstall. Try running some English language system info tool and download drivers from any of lenovo's sites.And forget the other utilities. Considering that there is nothing much that can be done.

Alternatively you can learn Mandarin Chinese but keep in mind that it is one of the hardest languages to learn:)
