China: Para-Athlete – “Wu Qing” [吴晴] – Gold Medal Shot-Putter! (22.10.2026)

During the preparation period for this Nagoya Asian Para Games, Wu Qing maintained a highly disciplined training state, insisting on intensive specialized training and completing hundreds or even thousands of throwing exercises. The Heilongjiang Disabled Persons’ Federation provided comprehensive support, with a professional coaching and rehabilitation team following up throughout, precisely adjusting technical movements and scientifically regulating her physical condition, laying a solid foundation for her to compete in international competitions.

Foreign Guest - Taiwan.

China: Foreign “Guest” Mistakes Taiwan MTR Train for “Public Convenience”! (21.10.2026)

There then follows a number of disgruntled citizens complaining about this behaviour. Apparently, there is mention that the Mainland brings-in a small numbers of African people who attend universities and work in factories in Zhejiang. There is also talk of African people living in Ningbo – perhaps as tourists. The above behaviour is viewed as being highly disrespectful and inappropriate in China and attracts very strong reactions. Many are disgruntled that the Taiwan Authorities have not mentioned an arrest or deportation. Others speculate that this individual might be “American” (and not “African”) – and that the Taiwanese Authorities do not want to draw negative attention to themselves from the Trump II Administration (Taiwan is a US colony).

Terracotta Soldiers

China: Terracotta Warriors – Finger-Print Analysis – Sheds Light on Qin Dynasty Work-Force! (20.10.2026)

2,200 years ago, a craftsman was sculpting ears for samurai figurines. The wet mud was still soft. He reached out and pressed it down, pressing the final arc of his ear wheel firmly. This action took only one or two seconds.

Fingerprints were left on the muddy surface. Following the clay figurines into the kiln, out of the furnace, and down to the pit, they lay there for over two thousand years.

Now, these marks were being measured one by one. The team conducting this analysis was led by Li Xiaoxi, an archaeologist at the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum Museum in China. They systematically studied the ancient fingerprints remaining on the Terracotta Warriors, publishing their findings in the international academic journal Cultural Heritage Journal.

Chinese Official in London - 1700s

UK: Holborn – Royal College of Surgery – Hunterian Museum! (18.10.2026)

Today, ordinary people can either not access free life-saving operations – or have to wait years to receive the treatment they so desperately need. Meanwhile, the reason waiting lists are so long – and operations difficult to acquire – is because the surgeons chose to privilege fee-paying (private) customers – instead of the general public (who pay their extortionate wages through general taxation). Since New Labour reforms – NHS-trained surgeons operate on the general public between 8am – 1pm – and then use NHS equipment, wards, and operating theatres to operate on private patients between 2pm – 8pm (hence the long waiting times for NHS operations). The later generates millions and is probably why this museum is able to remain “free” to enter. The queuing procedure is rather like trying to gain access to a high-class restaurant – something we would never do. There is even an Eastern European “host” who dresses like a head-waiter and uses structured small-talk to entertain the queue. Waits can be long.

Lincoln's Inn - Law School

UK: Kai-Lin Feeds the Birds – Lincoln’s Inn Fields! (18.10.2026)

Whilst traversing to other locations – we discovered “Lincoln’s Inn Fields” – which is a “Park” to you and me. The animals are all very take – which means the local people must be very kind and generous to them. Not only that – but this must have been the case for decades – as squirrels come up to you and try to climb your trouser leg in the hope of acquiring food. I have never seen a “murder” of crows acts so tame before (yes – that is really their collective name) – and co-exist peacefully beside pigeons. Kail-Lin also spotted a mouse at one point. As Buddhist – we are vegetarians and treat all life with respect – particularly innocent animals. Our children exercise loving kindness, compassion, and wisdom toward every animal they meet. All this is moderated trough common-sense.
