National Identity: We Are Taiwanese, Not Chinese

A dozen years ago, I ran into a group of Asian tourists in Switzerland. When they saw me on the street, they warmly greeted me in Mandarin Chinese, a delightful surprise in a foreign land. The sudden connection with people from my own country who spoke my language was truly a rare and exciting moment. […]

Jesus Was Born! The Chinese Communist Regime Will Fall.

In 2017, a Chinese human rights lawyer had his secret memoir “Unwavering Convictions: Gao Zhisheng’s Ten-Year Torture and Faith in China’s Future” published in the United States. Since then, Mr. Gao was forcibly taken from his home in China. In April 2023, on Mr. Gao’s 59th birthday, the U.S. House Committee on Foreign Affairs held […]

Shamefully Surrendering to Dictator Xi: The Prosperous, The Poor, and The Pandas

During the 2023 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting in San Francisco, California, many U.S. executives spent $40,000 to dine with Chinese President Xi at a business dinner. At the same time, Chinese diplomats paid patriotic flag-wavers (about $200 per person) to greet Xi as his convoy arrived in San Francisco; nearly 1,000 flag-wavers, mostly overseas […]

Hitler’s Third Reich; Xi Jinping’s Third Term

In Search of Tank Man

I graduated from Peking University in 1989. Just a few years ago, when I arrived in the U.S., a friend of mine asked me about Tank Man. “Tank Man?” – I shook my head; he could have as well be talking about E.T. “Tank who? What are you talking about?” I asked with a perplexed […]

When Freedom Loses, We All Lose

Human Rights Lawyers in China Being Treated as Criminal In China, there is a popular idiom that loosely translates as “black and white are reversed”; it means that facts are twisted and distorted to the point that black is white and vice versa.

Faith, Family, Freedom

Years ago, I talked in a radio show about my life as a woman in China and my experience as a Chinese Christian. I felt sad and depressed, but my friends were happy for me because I was interviewed by John Hall and Kathy Emmons in their radio program on 101.5WORD-FM, Pittsburgh, PA. A lady […]

Our Silence. Their Death. Never Forget.

Since 2014, I have written blogs to honor the young Chinese who sacrificed their lives to bring democracy to China. But the sad reality is that after 30 years, the Chines people don’t know the truth about the events on Tienanmen Square, and the Communist repression is increasing. After three decades, Tank Man is still […]

The Last Straw that Keeps Hong Kongers Protesting

Three decades ago, the joint declaration between China and Great Britain over Hong Kong laid the blueprint over how the city would be ruled after its return to China in 1997.

Powerful 2 Minutes: A Hong Kong Singer Spoke out at the UN Human Rights Council

“The Vienna Declaration guarantees democracy and human rights, yet in Hong Kong today those are under serious attack. Last month, two million people walked in peaceful protest fighting an extradition bill that would remove the firewall protecting Hong Kong from interference of the Chinese government.
