Hakka Ethnography – SANGHA KOMMUNE (SSR)

UK: An Email to my Deceased Father – Moses Waveman! (30.5.2026)

Even the far-right tried to have ago – pretending you said this or said that – apparently unaware that half of your family are “Chinese” (many of the current staff-members of Hadleigh Court – the care home that evicted you – are members of the far-right and punished you for not supporting their twisted ideas). This fact, once it became known, holed that far-right beneath the water-line and it never recovered. I knew what you think – but you never openly spoke about politics – and yet there are numerous utterances that somehow you mysteriously always managed to align with their (often nefarious) viewpoints. The far-left kept its distance from you – viewing you as a product of bourgeois excess – how wrong they were! My father was NOT religious – but you WERE spiritual. Quite a contradiction for the small-minded. Whatever the case, you fought against the capitalists on my behalf when I was a child, a youth, and an adult. I stood with you when I grew-up and was able. I know continue this fight.

Meizhou Hakka Football Club - Dark Days Ahead!

China: Meizhou Hakka Football Club Hammered by CFA Ruling! (25.5.2026)

22/05/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

On the afternoon of May 21, the Chinese Football Association announced its disciplinary decision. Based on the latest criminal judicial judgment materials, it was found that Meizhou Hakka Football Club had committed other serious violations and disciplinary infractions. Referring to previous industry disciplinary principles for clubs involved, it was decided to deduct 6 additional points from the 2026 Professional League and impose a fine of 800,000 RMB on Meizhou Hakka Football Club.

China Football Association: 3rd Batch of Match-Fixing Penalties Issued – Gambling & Black Market Corruption – 17 [Including Hakka] Banned! (22.5.2026)

22/05/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

The first Article is the official “English” announcement permitted by the Chinese Court and/or government. Good to see the Meizhou Hakka people at the fore-front of sporting corruption. The Hakka are always industry-leaders – and I expect nothing less of their innovative activity (I jest – of course). Even in the UK – Hakka take-away owners cannot resist wasting thousands of their hard-earned money on gambling! It is an issue amongst the Chinese community – or at least a certain strata of it. From gambling speculation there creeps-in all other types of corruption. Let this be a lesson. Although the US government (and the far-right) does allow and encourage “gambling” (as a form of capitalistic social control) – the far-left (and certainly not the CPC) will allow this cancer to fester within Chinese society. Enjoy sport but participate fairly and without exploitation! Hakka people need to police their communities more effectively and demand the law is followed. Remember, the Hakka were avid supporters of the Socialist Revolution – do not spoil this achievement!

UK: My Latest “Taiji” Translations – Free to Access! (19.5.2-26)

19/05/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

I will add to this content as time goes by. Indeed, I am working on this section of the Ch’an Dao website and look forward to tackling some of these obscure texts. Many of the commercially available translations are far too generic and watered-down by indifferent publishers who are trying to seek the greatest number of sales from each investment. Such tomes are misleading the average Western-reader and I intend to remedy this situation. My translations are straightforward, literal, and convey the original meaning. I could not care less about “sales” or making translations easy to access due to the reader being lazy. No. If I can do all the work translating – then the price I charge the reader is that they make an intellectual effort to meet me half-way. In this way we all learn. Publishers are capitalist scum – so there you have it. The words belong to the masses – so use them!

Taiwan Central Bank Redesign the New Taiwan Dollar - No Sun Yatsen!

China: Mainland Criticizes Taiwan DPP Banknote Redesign as ‘De-Sinicization’! (6.2.2026)

06/02/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Initially, as a Hakka, Sun Yatsen led a left-leaning Nationalism – but following 1911 and the first reforms – right-wing factions came to the forefront and took-over the movement. This led to the US-backed Chiang Kai-Shek assuming power who carried-out mass-murders of Chinese people – and even attacked and burned-down the famous Shaolin Temple in Henan (during 1928) – as the Head Monk refused to align the Temple with US imperialist intentions (there was also Chinese Nationalists who were lay-disciples of the Shaolin Temple – and Chiang Kai-Shek considered this a threat to his political power). Indeed, this Nationalist lurch to the right led to the rise of the separate Communist Party of China (CPC) – which split from Nationalist on ideological grounds. The Nationalists deviated away from Sun Yatsen’s (Chinese) vision and embraced a US model of predatory capitalism and liberal democracy – two completely alien concepts to the ethnic Chinese mind. The CPC chose Marxist-Leninism and centralised democracy – and this dichotomy explains the situation between Taiwan and the Mainland today. The Nationalists invaded Taiwan in the late 1940s and have dominated it ever since. Under Trump II – White (Eurocentric) attitudes are being inflicted once again throughout Taiwan society.

Email: What Are My Views About Qiu Miaolin (邱妙津) [1969-1995]? (23.1.2026)

23/01/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

I would argue that non-White cultures (not crushed by Eurocentric imperialism) possess a scale of sexual and gender manifestation that is far more fluid than that found in th West. Much more is tolerated with far less reactionary resistsnce. Married Chinese men can be effeminate – just as married Chinese women can be masculine – it is not that big a deal in the everyday world of Chinese existence. Teenagers naturally discover their sexuality and identity without the interference of the State define this or punishing that – so what exactly was Qiu Miaolin rebelling against? Was it the Nationalist domination of Taiwan? Was it the fascist (patriarchal) reality of Kuomintang (KMT) reality? Was it the obvious US domination of her Chinese culture? Was it the left-over influence of the Imperial Japanese presence on the island? I note that in the Chinese-language assessments of Qiu Miaolin – the “gay” Japanese fascist – Yukio Mishima is mentioned. After WWII, Mishima propagated a male gay cult that practiced homo-erotic martial arts whilst dreaming of over-throwing the US-dominated government and returning Japan to its feudal greatness (he would lead a failed military uprising in the early 1970s – before committing ritual suicide). Mishima, of course, was an anti-China racist – so why admire him? I am not a woman and am not a lesbian – so I advise the reader to research freely and to think for themselves.
