UK: The Family Shrine Re-Arranged for the Passing of My Father! (18.6.2026)

18/06/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Even if no member of a Chinese family has not trained in a formal spiritual order – incense will be regularly lit, and fresh flowers and fruit will be added every so many days. Of course, some shrines are kept-up at a greater degree than others – but this does not matter in the end. A family shrine is a door-way between one plane and another. It is a two-way structure that permits a solemn respect to traverse from the material realm into the immaterial realm – and allows a positive spiritual reality to emanate from the immaterial plane to the material realm. Today, I talked to my deceased father – and I did this via a photograph that my mother took and printed-out for me probably around 2010. The photograph was taken in the front garden of our old home at 2 Torbay Road, Torquay Road, Torquay, Devon (the shyster landlord took over a hundred thousand pounds in rent between 2002-2018 before applying a no-fault eviction because we requested a repair be made). As this was 16-years ago – my father would have been around 68-years old at the time. I suppose my father was at the peak of his power as an elderly person! Tomorrow we will collectively lit incense. It is the next stage of respectful mourning.

Surrey: Mobile Workmen’s Home! (29.5.2026)

29/05/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

This seems to be an early caravan – although much larger – affixed upon an army carriage dating back to WWI (although the Beatles were playing on the interior radio when we visited). I thought it might have travelled on rails – and think it could travel on a number of different surfaces (the wheels look rail-based – but I might be wrong). Basically, workmen tasked with building or clearing, etc, in remote areas – could live in these types of devices for extended periods – between shifts. This was when labour Unions ruled the roost and this type of relative luxury was demanded! I suspect for many workers this temporary accommodation might be better than the places they actually lived in! It reminded me of the carriage Lenin spoke from when he declared the end of capitalist exploitation in 1917! A left-leaning Labour government improved the lives of millions in 1948!

Surrey: Visiting “Jane Austen’s House”! (26.5.2026)

27/05/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Indeed, Jane was only 42-years old when she died (despite never marrying or having children of her own) – but she lived through the heady days of French Revolution, the rise of Napoleon, and the Battle of Waterloo. Despite the political class of Britain opposing the French Revolution (and opposing all the Socialist developments that arose from it) – many middle-class, literate British individuals found the times to be inspiring. Although I do not know for certain with regards Jane Austen – she was one of those literate British women who trailblazed in a man’s world via her written works (Pride & Prejudice, Sense & Sensibility, etc) – which are still best sellers today. Many of her works are performed as plays, and have been adapted for TV and the big screen. Whatever the case, on Tuesday May 26th, we headed out up the road to a nearby place called “Chawton” – where one of the houses owned by the Austen family is located.

Socialism in China Empowers the Disabled Population!

China: A Guide in Wheelchair – Zhu Junlin -Empowers People with Disabilities in Nanjing! (29.11.2025)

At the age of four, Zhu unfortunately contracted polio. Striving for self-reliance, she persisted in her education, career, and entrepreneurship.

At Sunflower Home for the Disabled, Zhu and her team provide services such as vocational training, rehabilitation, and care. They also partner with businesses to help individuals with disabilities find jobs nearby or work from home.

In 2025, Nanjing’s first high-standard “accessible express hotel,” advocated by Zhu, went into operation. She personally tested and measured every detail of the accessibility facilities in the hotel.

UK: Labour “Homelessness” Minister “Resigns” for “Mistreating” Her Own Renting Tenants! (8.8.2025)

08/08/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

The poor, Black, White, Brown, or Yellow – are all being treated with the same level of brutal oppression. No wonder the bourgeoisie hates the DPRK so much – it builds ultra-modern flats and houses – and then gives them out “free” to its own population. Although anyone can live in the DPRK, there is no mass immigration designed to serve the needs of predatory capitalism! As I have said before, voluntary “Internationalism” is not the same as enforced “Multiculturalism”. It is not Rushanara Ali’s ethnicity that is the cause of this (Islam rejects usury), but rather her class. The point is that non-White British people can easily make money by buying property and then renting it out to whomever they choose – thus bypassing the usual barriers of racism which keeps them “shut-out” of mainstream British society. There was a time when the Guardian would have reported on this using a vigorous left-leaning dialectic. Those days are long gone.

North-East China: Relay of love – Welfare Home Safeguards Precious Childhoods! (7.6.2025)

07/06/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

This year, Zhang is embracing motherhood while teaching. “I’ve learned that equal respect and patient companionship matter as much as boundless love,” she said. For the upcoming party, her students will attend as audience members. “They may not follow the program,” Zhang said. “But their smiles when hearing music or reaching for balloons mean a lot.”

Zhang’s legacy resonates with youths like Lin Qiuyue, 12 years her junior. “She’s been our warm guardian since I can remember, and she truly understands us,” Lin said. When Zhang returned as a teacher, their bond deepened. Inspired by Zhang, Lin now envisions her own future at the institution.

“I want to pay forward that empathy, just like her,” Lin said.
