Share 150,000! That’s the record number of Hong Kong people joining the annual June 4th Vigil in Victoria Park. The cops released their own number at 113,000, which understandably is always far less than those counted by the organizers, is also a historic high. Hong Kongers never let me down on protecting this last base [...]
Share 12,000 rally in Toronto, 3,500 in Ottawa, 1,000 in Calgary, hundreds more elsewhere Photo gallery: anti-prorogue rallies Canadians Against Proroguing Parliament (CAPP) release – In over 60 cities and towns across Canada and internationally, tens of thousands of Canadians rallied against Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s suspension of Parliament.

Share I’m very, very angry. Last year when the opposition threatened to bringing down the Tories with a coalition — which is completely legal and constitutional in Canada — Harper could still remotely, barely able to justify to ask GG for a prorogue. But this year… it’s absolutely unjustifiable… it really is an abuse of [...]
Share OK, this is what one of the most developed western democracy would do in face of dissidence and accountability: shut them all up. Harper doesn’t like dissident noises; he doesn’t like criticism; he doesn’t like being advised, lectured and he doesn’t want his authority and power be weakened by the elected parliament. When he [...]
Share Hello guys, just came back from Hong Kong and Beijing. What a good holiday, though it went too fast, as usual. :) Now I’m back home, should pick up writing again. Here are some photos I took of Beijing: beijing 2009 First of all, I’d like to talk about my Beijing trip. This is [...]
Share Today is the 20th anniversary of the Tiananmen Massacre. I’d like to add my rants. Nowadays, many Chinese people would say the crack down was the right decision, otherwise China wouldn’t experience mega economic growth in the last 20 years. But this is a logic based on the assumption that if there was no [...]
Share Hong Kong’s former pop superstar Annita Mui (梅艷芳) was “involved deeply” into the “Project Siskin” (黃雀行動), a pro-democracy secret campaign that helped bring hundreds of student leaders of the Tiananmen Massacre and other Chinese dissidents to safety to western countries between 1989-1997, according to Hong Kong media reports.

Share In 1989, I was a college kid, real kid. On May 27, 1989, I was among the 1.5 million people walked the streets of Hong Kong. That was my first rally ever. And it changed me forever. Today, I still cry when I read/watch artciles/photos/footages of the Tiananmen Massacre. I will never forget. Tags: [...]
Share OK, now I realize why our immigration figure story has “outraged” the Tories. Because they think other than the messages they tell the public, everything else is a “non-story”, i.e. convenient finger-pointing about any criticism to the media. And that’s why he blocks the media trouble makers from asking questions. What is not “gotcha [...]
Share What a shameful day for Canada. I heard Michael Byers of NDP for Vancouver Centre commenting this afternoon praising this “the right decision”. He used the reason for excluding Elizabeth May because she has declared her de facto support for Stephane Dion. And I’m sure Stephen Harper doesn’t want the televised debate to be [...]
