Research direction

Start by reproducing the two dateparser.parse examples from the issue, then trace the parsing path for the "%m-%d %H:%M" format and the Chinese date input. Done means the parsed month and day match the input instead of returning August 16; add a regression test for both examples if the relevant test location is found.
