Research direction
Start by running the provided Python reproduction for 2020/10/9 下午 02:26:26 and inspect the Chinese-language date and time-of-day parsing paths, especially handling of mixed separators. Add a regression test for this input; done means parsing returns the expected datetime object without breaking existing Chinese date parsing.
