The Chinese tourist encountered some difficulties on the evening of May 23, with staff from the Cape Town Wilderness Search and Rescue team, Cape Town Tourism, the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway Company, and South African National Parks working together to successfully bring the tourist to safety, and now has returned safely to China.

Ren Faqiang, Consul General of the People’s Republic of China in Cape Town, presented certificates of appreciation to the rescuers, praising their professionalism and selfless dedication. He said the successful operation reflected the spirit of mutual assistance between the people of China and South Africa, as it further embodies South Africa’s philosophy of Ubuntu.

President Nicolas Maduro - Iconic Resistance to US Terrorism!

Venezuela: President Nicolas Maduro – Displays “Iconic Resistance” to US Terrorism [video] – Spain Condemns Trump! (4.1.2026)

04/01/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

The President of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, “resolutely” condemned the “recent violation of international law” in reference to the US military attack on Venezuela, which led to the kidnapping of the constitutional president of the Republic, Nicolás Maduro, and the First Lady, Cilia Flores.

Sánchez stated that the world, and particularly the West, “seems determined to return us to that terrible past from which it took us almost a century to escape”.

He also noted: “They seem to want to persuade us that the era of peace and progress has already passed” and it’s now the turn of what he calls the “regression dictated by the ultra-right international with the complicity of the traditional right”.

UK: Armistice Day – Popping-Out for Abit! (11.11.2025)

11/11/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

Of course, workers and peasants have periodically fought for their rights over hundreds or thousands of years, with the movements varying in size and strength. From rioting in the town square to full on and widespread uprisings. The historians of the feudal or bourgeois state, however, will have none of this, and will try to force you to remember only those wars and conflicts which reflect the will of the reactionary State. This is what Poppy Day in the UK is all about – and explains why we try to co-opt it for our own working class ends. We are shifting the onus away from middle class hypocrisy and toward working class practicality. That is all there is to it. No only this, but we are fighting Trotskyism and all working class reaction that wants to see all Socialism ended in the UK – rather than repaired, extended, and strengthened. Fighting the enemies lurking within the working class is as important as fighting the enemies outside the working class. Perhaps Chairman Mao had a thing or two to say about this.

CSA: When Confederate General James Thadeus Holtzclaw Complimented a “Black “ Union Regiment! (10.11.2025)

10/11/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

General Holzclaw Stated, “Five separate colour-bearers, one after the other, seized the fallen flag and attempted to plant it over our works. Each one was shot-down. Urged on by their White Officers – these Black soldiers repeatedly surged against the breastworks. They came only to die!” Indeed, so impressed by the bravery of these Black soldiers was General Holzclaw, that he cited their bravery in his official “Battle Report”. This would be read by the likes of Robert E Lee and Jefferson Davis – so such a report contained much significance. Although the Union would win this battle overall – it did not prevail on this small part of the Nashville battlefield. Of course, such stubborn Confederate action only delayed the inevitable defeat – but it did give the Black Regiments (there others that fought during this battle and even around this area) a chance to show the world what they were capable of doing. The Irish-British (Confederate) General Patrick Clayburne 9who had died at the Battle of Franklin) had suggested to Jefferson Davis that the slaves of the South should be “freed” and co-opted into the Confederate Army – but his idea fell on deaf-ears.

Gee Wyles - Covid Star Medal for Bravery 2020-2021

NHS: Gee’s “Covid Star” Medal for Bravery! (18.7.2025)

Of course, when medals are issued en masse like this, as also seen at the end of WWII) it often takes some time before the medals are a) made, and b) presented to the recipients. Gee’s work record and demeanour under pressure were assessed and found “suitable” for the awarding of the “Covid Star” during 2022. Since that date, we have been patiently waiting to receive the physical object – and hold it in our hands. Gee volunteered to work with NO protective-clothing or equipment on the NHS frontline saving human-lives in the UK – so I would say she has earned the right to be called “British”! Gee showed more English-grit than the “White” keyboard warriors sat behind their computer screens concocting all kinds of stupid and anti-intellectual nonsense! These very bad and poor examples of “Englishness” will never know the “grace under pressure” that people like Gee exhibited during a National Emergency. Indeed, Gee saved their ungrateful lives.

USSR: Yuri Gagarin – “AD 1961” – First Man in Space! (13.4.2025)

13/04/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

Yet one of the most unexpected tributes to the first cosmonaut lies far from space museums or bustling capitals — on the windswept Orkney Islands, off the north coast of Scotland.

Here, just steps from the Neolithic village of Skara Brae – a UNESCO World Heritage Site inhabited over 5,000 years ago – stands a carved stone that simply reads: “First Man in Space, AD 1961”. Nestled among markers of human milestones, it honours Gagarin’s place in our shared journey — from ancient stargazers to modern explorers.

This is a quiet reminder that Gagarin’s reach extends far beyond Earth’s orbit — and even beyond the expected.

💐 Recently Russian Ambassador to the UK Andrei Kelin and Russian Consul General in Edinburgh Denis Moskalenko laid flowers at the site, paying tribute to the first man in space.
