I don't know what is the cause here.  `set-input-method chinese-py` in
Emacs installed via guix works for me on both Guix System and NixOS.

By the way, if you are interested in Chinese input method, I suggest you
try pyim and emacs-rime.  As a native Chinese, I can confidently say
these two packages are far more better than the built-in chinese-py.  No
Chinese emacs user uses chinese-py to input Chinese characters.
