In the post-911 hysteria (where the US continued with its delusional position that American lives are worth more than any other lives) I was writing on the British Born Chinese Forum – owned and run by the former UK Social Worker – Steve Lam. I had previously posted for a time on  the “Dimsum” Forum run by a Trotskyite named “Sarah Yeh” – (until we had a “disagreement”) – both bourgeois individuals. I posted under my Chinese name of “Heng Yu” (恒豫) – a Caodong gongfu lineage name used by my Chinese relatives on a daily basis (pronounced “Hung Yaw” in Cantonese). Now, at around this time (2001) I was introduced to a very well-respected Hakka-Chinese man in London’s Chinatown – named Jabez Lam. He was left-wing, a Socialist and worked for the rights of ordinary Chinese restaurant-workers (he had even appeared on Channel 4 regarding Mainland Chinese and the perceived discrimination they suffer in the UK). I met him a few times in Gerrard Street (he knew of and respected Master Chan Tin Sang) and talked with him over the telephone many times regarding what he knew about prominent members of the British-born Chinese community – and there was some tasty morsels. So tasty, in fact, that all the problems I was having with one or two ethnic Chinese individuals in the UK (primarily online – as they lacked the bollocks to meet me in my weekly gongfu class) – just melted away when they realised I know about the skeletons in their cupboards.
