Today, we have travelled into London’s Chinatown to eat at the New Loon Fung Restaurant! This is a special occasion through which all the family celebrates life, love and togetherness! Although it is Thursday – and not the weekend – the restuarant was full to capacity on both its floors!
In order to successfully unify and complete this year’s farming activity – the City and Agricultural Sector Officials are motivating the public to correctly perform harvesting activities! Based upon accurately assessing the expected harvest, they are vigorously carrying-out commands and operations to ensure the autumn harvest (and grain removal) is timely and in season!
In 2023 this will fall on Friday September 29th! This coincides with what is termed the ‘Chung Yeung’ Festival – where the graves of the ancestors are cleaned and tidied! In Putonghua this is pronounced as ‘Chong Yang’ (重陽) and refers to the ‘Double Nine’ attribute common in the Book of Changes (essentially a ‘double-yang’ line in a hexagram implying incredible good luck – doubled). What all this means – and there are many more stories – is that we eat Mooncakes and pay respect to our deceased ancestors – either at their graves or at a shrine – where incense-sticks are lit. Meanwhile, there is a beautiful woman, a Jade Rabbit and even a Master-Archer – who is able to shoot-down false ‘Moons’! Like most cultural aspects in traditional China – there is a complexity of integration, contradiction, paradox and reconciliation! The main point is to wish everybody Good Luck for the future!
Much of the British Welfare State of 1948 was premised upon the Soviet model. After the Nazi Germans (and its Catholic Allies) devastated the Western USSR (between 1941-1945) – it was this system of taxation and wealth re-distribution which re-built the Soviet Union and helped replace the 41 million men, women and children maimed and killed by the Hitlerites! Today, the far-right advocates the leaving of cities and the rejection of modern living as a form of ‘protest’ against contemporary trends of living (rejecting the benefits of ‘science’, ‘medicine’ and ‘multiculturalism’ – all falsely interpreted as ‘Jewish’ conspiracies). This is the exact ‘opposite’ of the progressive ideology of ‘Scientific Socialism’ – with this stupidity costing the life of a young Russian child.
Along with six friends, she embarked on a venture selling handicrafts created by people with disabilities in the region. Their offerings include exquisite works of embroidery and intricate paper-cutting.
Similarly, chef Li Yuanyuan from Guizhou had a heartfelt desire to extend support to others. On the national day of assisting disabled persons, which is observed on the third Sunday of May every year, he would distribute the dishes he prepared among fellow community members with disabilities.
“Before reaching where I am today, I received immense help and encouragement. Therefore, I am determined to pay it forward, to assist and inspire others. Only through such actions can my life acquire true meaning,” said Li, reflecting on his journey.
In 1981, the Vietnamese Boat People who had arrived at the waters of Galveston Bay – were granted the legal right to be there – and to make a living by fishing in the area. Most Vietnamese people were shocked by the level of race-hate aimed at them by the average ‘White’ (and ‘Black’) American person! Where was this ‘accepting’ and ‘forgiving’ country that the ‘White’ Christian Missionaries had described whilst teaching that Vietnamese culture and religious practices were ‘inferior’ – and that a ‘land of plenty and mutual support’ awaited them in the West! The Vietnamese who had fallen for these lies soon found to their peril that ‘White’ America had every intention of staying ‘White’ by resisting, preventing and expelling ALL non-White immigration!
