From spring to winter, for more than 70 years, we, the people of China, have lived and are still living under a Communist regime. No freedom of speech. No freedom of religion. No freedom of assembly. No freedom at all. We are modern slaves in the 21st century. Chinese Calligraphy Posters during Mao’s Cultural Revolution […]
Thirty-three years ago, I was one of the college students who were sitting in the gigantic Tiananmen Square day and night, demanding freedom and hoping China’s communist regime would change into a democratic system. Thirty-three years ago today was a hot day. At nightfall, military tanks started moving from the western suburb of Beijing to […]
The unprecedented, bombshell, SCOTUS leak about Roe v. Wade has unleashed the intended firestorm. Pro-abortion groups are protesting viciously not only before the building of the U.S. Supreme Court, but also in front of the houses of the justices who believe that the U.S. Constitution makes no reference to abortion, and Roe and Casey must […]

I was hesitant as to whether to go to the DC rally that was organized by the Victims of Communism and other organizations to boycott the coming Beijing Olympics and call out the genocide in Xinjiang and the persecution of Hongkongers and political dissidents in China.

This blog is the first part of my book review of “Unwavering Convictions: Gao Zhisheng’s Ten-Year Torture and Faith in China’s Future.”) Mr. Gao Zhisheng, the […]
Today is Chinese New Year, the Year of the Rooster, 2017. I left Beijing in January 2009; I have never returned to China since. “Stay away from Falun Gong and other … you know the consequences (jail)!” was the parting warning from a Communist Party secretary when I left the university I used to teach […]
My mom is in the hospital. I called her last night, and she described the chaotic and miserable life faced by thousands of patients seeking treatment. “Patients have to wait for months in order to see a doctor for important examinations, such as CAT scans, or surgeries. You need to buy a ticket to see […]
Thou shalt not remove thy neighbor’s landmark, which they of old time have set in thine inheritance, which thou shalt inherit in the land that the Lord thy god giveth thee to possess it. (Deuteronomy 19:14) Anastasia Lin, Miss Canada 2015, was barred from attending the 65th annual Miss World contest held on the southern Chinese island […]
