“History is a good place to visit, but a hard place to stay.” Pastor Foster of the New Life Assembly of God in Ohio often said this to us during his services. In this blog, I would like to visit briefly the Third Reich of the Nazi Germany and look at the potential danger of […]
Category: Political Repression in China
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 I graduated from college, my parents had more concerns than pride. My mother worried that I would be a real “bachelor(ette).” She complained that my height was less than desirable and my skin was not silky. According to my mother, my “less-than-desirable” look was caused by the Great Famine during Mao’s time. When she […]
