mysql php - latin1?

I have a mysql table, I made it in latin1 style and it is all that way. How can I make a table that is all latin1 except one column, which i need to be able to accept chinese characters? 开发者_如何学运维

Also, Whats the best structure for a column with chinese characters?

alter table your_table
modify column
chinese_column varchar(255) collate utf8_general_ci; <-- or any relevant collate
