Keeping the Interactions Between Taiwan & China Steady, China Should Help the People of Taiwan Feel More Secure

An abuser/enabler interaction that’s occurred between “us” and “them”, in the game of Taiwanese INDEPENDENCE versus Communist Chinese DOMINANCE over the people of this, “country”…still caused by the DDP, off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

The spokesperson of the Taiwan Work Office of the CPC Central Committee, named that the organization will punish five of the T.V. commentators from Taiwan, closing in on May 20^th, any signs of movement between China and Taiwan will be too sensitive, and, this move by China, is a sort of a warning to the new president elect, Lai too.

Actually, Communist China already, rehearsed how they’d had to withstand the test of the support of freedom of speech in their accusation, and listed the reasons for the punishments of the T.V. commentators as “intentionally producing the false, negative information about China” “causing the citizens of the island to become confused, stirring up hostility between the two sides of the strait”.  There were the reforms that started off of the freedom of speech from the western cultures, there’s no involvement of religion here, but of the belief systems, the right is the protection of the expression of opinions from the conscience, and clearly, it ruled out the protection of the untrue, unfounded claims.  Which showed, that Communist China had thought thoroughly, before they issued the reprimands on the five commentators.

Tsai, in her term, put this “country” in harm’s way already…comic from online

And because of this, there may be the contemplations of what falsified information did these five state?  And, were there only, the negative opinions?  And, how is the assessment of “covering up the awareness of residents on the island” determined?  For the latter, although the five famed talk show hosts may have some form of influence, but, from the trends online, it’s already, noted, how some of the Taiwanese public already hold these, biases, that they weren’t turned by the words of these famous talk show hosts, this, the Chinese online communities pointed out.  And, Communist China’s enforcing the punishment of all five individuals, seemed to, put them on a much higher pedestal than they all, deserved.

And the article goes on into dissecting why the Communist Chinese government is handing down this punishment, and that the Communist Chinese government is aiming at applying pressure, and this will only cause the relations of China and Taiwan to head for the worst, I mean, we’re all on edge, about the GOLDEN GRANDSON of TAIWANESE INDEPENDENCE getting elected into office, that war is, imminent already, and, we do NOT need Chinese government’s interferences, into this, already, MESSED up political forum that’s currently happening here, and yet, the Chinese government still spoke, and, that will only make the newly elected GOLDEN grandson of Taiwanese independence, hit BACK, so yeah, we’re, headed for WAR here, and there’s still, NO escape, because we can’t hold our breaths, indefinitely, we can’t grow the gills to help us breathe underwater, so yep, we’re all, sinking!

with Lai, as the GOLDEN GRANDSON of Taiwanese independence, making this worse for us all…

The Chinese Government in Punishing the Political Commentaries in Favor of the DDP

And, does IT matter, WHO, started it first???  Uh, hell no!  And, Taiwan is still, asking for it, and it’s all the DDP’s rule, when eventually, the Commies take over this god DAMN, “independently governing”, island…off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

As the M.A.C. announced its punishment for the five Taiwanese political commentaries and their families, most of us, on first impression, felt it was wayward, and awful, and we are all, confused, what made the M.A.C. come up with such a thing to do.

In the news conference room of the M.A.C., this sort of wayward segments, we’d only encountered, no more than once, to twice in several decades.  This is like using a cannon on a, mosquito, and so, why is the M.A.C., making the troubles for the political, commentators?

And, these five commentators, despite of their famous status or not, are like, being awarded the freedom award, they all turned into heroes, defending free speech, like how the talk down with the topics of outerspace exploration to the uterus, being the in thing to watch.  But, let’s think a bit, did the M.A.C., really make, such a, huge, mistake?  This is worth, chewing over, and, it’d felt, more like, a stab in the front!

Based off of public awareness, these individuals all made the extremely radical comments, let’s cast aside Huang, political commentary out of Dongwha University, or Lee, the younger generation legislator from the K.M.T., or Yu, the retired major from the marines, who’s now a city councilman of Taoyuan, with no political party.  Is the M.A.C. trying to make the whole world note, the worth of freedom of heroes, of the Taiwanese epic songs?  Or, is it, just, hitting this, as a distraction, with the, ulterior, motives?

what this SHIT, looks, like, without the WINNER and the CASH prize at the end, of course, only L-O-S-E-R-S!!! Video from YouTube

No matter, the M.A.C. had partaken in a high-end black comedy.  And maybe, the M.A.C. thought, that the DDP can check the online commentaries for those who’d spoken against them, and why the Communists can’t punish the talk show hosts who are in favor of Taiwanese independence?  But this is, simply, too, wayward.  Punishing the famed talk show hosts from across the strait that’s way too, abnormal, and questionable, if one day, Taiwan ended up, unifying with China, not only would those famed talk show hosts lose their right to speak freely, there may be, more prohibited, zones that are coming.

It’s something odd that these famed talk show hosts are all over in Taiwan, but most of what they’re speaking on, is more entertaining than it is, factual, no need to take their words, too seriously.  But, China’s suddenly crossing over the boundaries of the straits, to interfere into the freedom of speech in Taiwan, this will only, separate Taiwan even more from China.

And, this is still?  Oh yeah, an ABUSER/ENABLER, with Taiwan yapping out of its, loud mouth, how the country is holding that WE ARE INDEPENDENT flag, and of course, China’s going to, SHOOT us down for it, I mean, we all knew, that we’re, independent from China, in the operations of this, “country” (note: we’d become, a subsidiary under the DDP’s REIGN of TERROR), and, yet, with the DDP holding up the banner of Taiwanese INDEPENDENCE high OVER the SKIES, of course the Chinese armed forces are going to, SHOOT us, down, and so, when (and there’s not that if anymore!!!) the Chinese armed forces take us over, and we all fall under, COMMMUNIST rule, it won’t be the CHINESE government’s fault, but the DDP’s, because they ASKED for it, as this is still???  Oh yeah, and ABUSER (China)/Enabler (Taiwan) interaction style, a you hit me, and I hit you back and you hit me again, because I’d hit you back, and this VICIOUS cycle still, does NOT, end!

The Air, My Friend

How do you think, we compared, to those, lower orders of, living organisms, by our means in mistreatments of them, huh???  The column by Jimmi Liao, translated by me…

I’d Caught a Pretty Human,

Placed Her in a Jar, Took Her Home with Me

Worry Not, All,

I will Certainly, Puncture Some Tiny Holes on the Lid

So She Can Live Long & Well, Having the Fresh Air to, Breathe

Well, that’s, a HELL of a LOT, gentler, than how we do it, isn’t it?  I mean, we humans put what we caught inside the jars, and, screw the lid on too tight, and we forget to puncture those, tiny, air holes for the creatures we’d caught and kept, and sometimes, we’d gone, a step farther, shaking those jars, and ask: hey, you DEAD in there???  And what this insect is doing TO a human being, is WAY, WAY, WAY more, merciful…

The Pregnant Female Doctor Accused the Male Doctor Who’d Assigned the Shifts to Have Bullied Her at the Workplace

There’s still NO equal rights of workplace for men AND women, and it’s not going to be equal NOT anytime, soon, off of the Newspapers, translated…

She’d Worked the Graveyard Shifts & Was in Exposure of Radiation in Her Pregnancy

There is a bullying in the workplace that came out of an unnamed hospital in Zhonghe, Hsinbei City, a female physician from the radiology department accused a senior male physician from the department of making two pregnant female physicians work the overnight shifts, causing the female physicians to be in the exposure of high radiation environment.  Yesterday the female physician was interviewed, told, that to secure her position of work, she’d, selected to swallow the unfair treatments down, but the male physician had gone overboard in exploiting her, she couldn’t put up with it anymore, so she’d filed a complaint with the hospital.

The assistant director of the hospital, Lee stated, that as soon as the complaints were received, a review committee was set up immediately, after two investigations, the board found the accusations of workplace bullying valid, in the process of the investigations, both were interviewed, and if there are no objections, twenty days after the results of the investigation got posted, the punishment will be, handed, down.

The female physician told, that last year, there’s a female older schoolmate from the department who took the maternity leave, and, considering the personnel available on file wasn’t short staffed, and only when the personnel staffing became stabler, she’d gotten, pregnant, and when she got pregnant, she was caught in the, exact, same, predicament, she’d been emotionally stressed and seven weeks into her pregnancy, she’d miscarried.

The Department of Sanitation of Hsinbei City sated, that it’d already asked the hospital to explain what had happened, that if laws had been broken, then, the department will have the labor department or social service to fine the hospital; the head of labor examination, Lin pointed out, that the hospital needed to implement a plan against improper work schedules in the workplace, setting up the routes of complaints, the investigators, and employee training, and other preventative measures, the victim had filed the complaints, and the workplace bullying had been found, valid.

As for it being illegal to make the pregnant female physicians work the graveyard shifts, the hospital said, that the workhours of medical professionals aren’t protected by the basic labor laws, in other words, physicians have no limit to the hours they work, but as a physician is pregnant, she is, protected the occupational safety laws, the individual can get the managers to assist in exchanging of her shifts.  The hospital believes, that the male physician who’d scheduled the shifts did NOT communicate well enough, as the victim filed the complaints back in January, the hospital reassigned the male physician from the scheduling of work shifts already.

And, with men, there’s NOT the problem of needing days off when you get pregnant, because we are the ones, getting pregnant, and this is still due to the sexism of the society, of culture, of how there will NEVER be equal basis for the genders in the workplace, or in anything, because, we are essentially, different in our, biological, makeup.  And the result in this case, is, a DEAD FETUS!

Grandma’s Cat’s Eyes

This cherished rock, turned out to be, a total, FAKE!!!  But, the history of your families is, real as, ever…translated…

I have a box of minerals made of cypress, the lid was made of glass.  Inside the compartments of the individual slots, were the minerals I’d collected, the slots appeared like the Instagram posts in physical forms, every time I’d opened the box, other than the scent from the cypress, it’d, appeased my, sight as well.

There was a section of the box with the rocks and minerals I’d bumped into by chance, other than what I’d picked up off the ground, more were gifts.  Some where the rhodochrosite, the pebbles I’d collected from the campus of the University of Heidelberg, the prize from the drawing of the book signing, the nephrite.

My friend who’d come to afternoon tea at my place situated herself in my living room, and at first sight, she’d caught my box of minerals.

“That’s so amazing, can I see it?”, I’d nodded, of course you can, the minerals aren’t really that big a deal, most were the original, unpolished, minerals, I’m no collector, I just like things that I saw that call out to me, maybe, it’s the collector’s box that’s made me seemed, like an, experienced, collector.

“Oh!”, she’d let out a yelp, “What is this one?”

I’d set my eyes on what she had, oh, this one, it’s a, long, story.

My friend used her eagle sight, caught that fish oil pill sized “cat’s eye”, something from my father, also, one of the heirlooms from, grandma.  The story traces back to about half a century ago, back then, grandma took her children to Taipei, situated in Shihpai, and became a second landlady, rented a room of their apartment out to an elderly retired serviceman, the elderly servicemen grew a beard, a faithful Christian, they’d nicknamed him, “Jesus”.  They got along fine, “Jesus” was kind, but had a ton of bad friends who got him into gambling, who’d, enticed him to the wrong business ventures, and in the very end, he’d lost all he ever had, all his pension, and he’d still owed grandmother the rent for the rom, and in the end, he can only, use this rock as a collateral, told that it was a gemstone that his mother handed to him before he’d enlisted into the army, and came to Taiwan.  “Jesus” ended up, all alone, dying in his bedroom, and, my families gave him a simple funeral, because he was their, neighbors, and, this “cat’s eye”  got passed down to, me.

“But, is it the real cat’s eye gem?”, my friend questioned.

And she was, correct too, I’d, checked a lot of volumes of gemstone encyclopedia, because there’s that, fakeness to it, I’d asked dad what it was, he’d told me it was cat’s eye this time, and, garnet the next…….

“I don’t know, it’s something passed from Grandma down to us.”, I’d, given the response my father gave to me.

“I’d made it out to be fake at first sight”, I’d not denied my friend’s views, this, just as well, is a, fake.  But, this fake piece of jewelry, had the story of my families, an heirloom left behind by, grandma.

“But it’s, totally, fake!”  my friend insisted, it’d made me take several deep, inhales, that cake that’s eaten to flat, symbolized our friendship about to be, destroyed, and, the originally leisurely afternoon tea, turned into, a gathering, disaster, at the moment, I just, wanted to, close up my box of collected minerals, and told her to get out.

The stone is fake, but the heirloom, real, what is false, what is true?

It didn’t matter if the item is not real, the histories of your families are, real as, ever, and that should be, all that mattered, it does NOT matter if that rock is real or not, it’s, a part of your, history just the same.

An Overwhelming Support for Palestine to Gain Membership into the U.N. by the Members of the U.N.

Palestine crossed over, a big hurdle, in the process of becoming a member of the U.N., and the U.S. still, stood on the WRONG side of history, with, Israel…off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

Not Yet Gained the Formal Acceptance Yet, Only the Admittance of Status Quo of Member Country, the Israeli Diplomat Furious, Tearing Up the Constitution of the U.N.

The United Nations took a vote on the tenth, demanded the National Security Council to reconsider admitting Palestine as a formal member of the U.N., the result of the votes was one-hundred forty-three votes for, nine against, and twenty-five forfeiting the votes.  Only the U.S. and Israel voted no to admit Palestine into the U.N., the diplomat of foreign affairs from Israel stated that the United Nations had made the most absurd decision.

This decision did NOT give Palestine the full membership to the U.N., only admitted that Palestine had qualified for application for the membership of United Nations. The decision pointed out, that Palestine should be admitted as a member country of the U.N., suggested that the national security council to reconsider its standpoint, and stated that the next meeting of the U.N. starting in September, Palestine will be allowed more rights as a member, for instance, proposing a bill, complete involvement, along with sending an elected representative to the council.

Based off of the constitution of the U.N., the application to join the U.N. need to first pass the recommendations from the N.S.A., then the member countries can, vote on the matter.  There are, currently a total of 193 members, and if the candidate country gained two-thirds votes, then, it would become a member officially.

the video of Palestine being, admitted into the U.N., that foot in the door, from YouTube

Mansour, the ambassador for Palestine to the U.N. spoken before the voting, and gained widespread applause.  He’d stated, that voting for, is voting to save the lives of Palestinians, and not against another country.

Before the votes, the American ambassador told the U.N., that even IF the voting for Palestine to be admitted as a member country of the U.N. passes initial voting, and will be voted again by the Security Council members, then, the U.S. will vote against the matter again, a replay of the National Security Council situation back in April.  The representative group stated, that the self-government of Palestine does NOT qualify as a member of U.N. in application.

Erdan, the U.N. ambassador from Israel on the sixth claimed, that if the votes pass, he’d suspected, that the U.S. will cut back on the fundings that the U.S. sent to the U.N., and other agencies related to the U.N.  Based off of an amendment of the U.S. in the 1990s, if the U.N. accepts Palestine as a member, then, the Congress will have the right to stop funding the operations of the United Nations.

Erdan spoke after the votes on the tenth, he got angered, and shredded an envelope with “Constitution of United Nation” on it, and accused that there are too many, anti-Semites in the U.N. conference in real time.

And so, this is how it went, with the U.S., forfeiting, voting for Palestine being a member of the U.N., because it’s “friends” with Israel, besides, Israel is one of the countries with the grade-A nuclear weapons, and the U.S. must save itself from confrontation with another country with the nuclear weapons such as China too, that is why it voted NO, and besides, that’s been U.S.’s standpoint all the way, being as opportunistic as it’d always been, with a total DISREGARD of what’s right and wrong, what’s morally responsible, all it CARES about is ITS own, benefits!

Close to Seventy-Percent of Female Physicians Were Sexually Harassed, and There Weren’t Enough Reported Cases

The contributing factors of WHY the birthrate is on the, steady DECLINE in this country, even though, the DDP prided itself on making the strides to give women more rights, practically, it doesn’t work, and these female physicians are handling more than their shares here, off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

The Physicians’ Labor Laws aren’t Up to Standards, Sixty Percent of Female Medical Professionals Were Asked for Their Plans of Getting Pregnant in the Interviews

The workplace in hospitals and clinics isn’t fitting, not only were the nurses all overworked, the medical doctors are also, faced with the, bad labor conditions, especially the female medical professionals, being sexually discriminated against, the Taipei Physicians’ Guild posted its latest gender-friendly survey results, close to seventy-percent of female physicians had been sexually harassed, but there’s a very low rate of reporting, close to sixty-percent of female physicians were asked about their plans of getting pregnant at the interviews for hire, another thirty percent of female physicians were on duty in the graveyard shifts during their pregnancies.  The guild called out, that there should be the medical labor laws, to protect the medical professionals’ rights.

The secretary of the Taipei Physicians’ Guild, Chen stated that the reduced birthrates is a matter of national security now, the government kept encouraging women to get pregnant, but the medical professions, due to the culture of work, placed a ton of restrictions, limitations on the female physicians; after the female physicians get pregnant, their work rights can’t even match up to that of regular workers; the #MeToo started trending across Taiwan last year, and due to how the field of medicine is dominated by men mostly, the culture of work is too hush-hush, the victims of sexual harassment can’t get the help they required, making the workplace even harsher.

The guild had surveyed a total of 185 female physicians and 97 male physicians.  The results showed, 67.5-percent of surveyed female physicians had been sexually harassed, but the complaints filed was only at 3.2-percent; 22.7-percent of male physicians reported having been sexually harassed, with the rate of filing a complaint being ZERO, other than being too busy at work, they’d worried that the complaints don’t do anything for them, that they can’t collect enough evidence.  The representative of the Taipei Physicians’ Guild, Huang stated, there’s only a limited number of the departments of nominations of physicians, plus how close the culture of work is in the medical field, causing the physicians to prioritize their own means of getting promoted higher up than to report the incidents.

There were close to sixty-percent of female physicians surveyed whom when asked about their plans of marriage, of childrearing in the job interviews, they were hinted by the managers that they can’t get pregnant, or it would affect them getting hired and being, promoted; although the labor laws specified that pregnant women shall NOT work the night shifts, but, other than the resident doctors, the primary physicians aren’t protected under this law, and there are still currently 27.3-percent of female physicians who are working the graveyard shifts right now.

Chen stated, that there’s a ZERO job guarantee protection for female physicians who are pregnant right now, the government should immediately amend this, to strictly prohibit the female physicians who are pregnant from working the graveyard shifts.

And so, this is, a major, contributing FACTOR of what there’s this, decline in birthrate in this country.  The workplace isn’t friendly enough toward women, and not just the doctors, and, there’s this, SEX discrimination in this country that’s, ongoing right now, and it’s still, rooted down in the culture, and to root this bad belief back up, is going to take, more than just, amending the laws to protect women’s right of work when they’re pregnant.

The Lesson of the Support Palestine Student Movement, Conversation Beats the Cuffs

The understanding, the wisdoms that should come out of, the Free Palestine Movement that’s currently, spreading across the university campuses in the U.S. right now…off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

Of late, there’d been, countless protests of Support Palestine by the university students across the U.S., which started up the heated debate on freedom of the scholastic, freedom of speech, and the autonomy of the individual universities.  These protests occurred primarily in forms of the students’ setting up the tents on campus to protest, which the various levels of managements of the universities responded differently to, some schools used the peaceable negotiations, while others called in the police armed forces, with massive numbers of students placed under arrest.

The core of this debate, is on how to gain that delicate balance, between protecting the students in expressing their viewpoints, and to ensure the normal functioning of the universities, although the universities continually supported the principles of freedom of speech and academic freedom, but the disturbances caused by the campsites, caused the management level to work really hard, to find a, middle, ground.

Some school, like Brown University, Northwestern, and University of Minnesota, chose to hold conversations with the protesting students, and reached middle grounds that satisfied the students, and keeping the orders of the campuses.  These compromises included making the investment ventures of the schools’ operations to become more transparent, to offer financial aid for the Palestinian students, and as the demands were met, allowing for the protesting campsites to be set up.

But, there were schools that used the more forceful, measures, sending in the police to evict the tents, and made the arrests of the massive groups of protesting students and faculties.  In universities like Columbia, University of Virginia, and University of California-San Diego, there were the police forces, in confrontation with the, students, this caused the widespread criticisms of the professors, the supporters of freedom of speech, and the civil rights groups, they believed, that the usage of this means, had destroyed the principles of freedom of speech, and the freedom of academia.

in U.S.C., off of YouTube

Currently, the protest had, spread across the entire country, some of the American legislators are now, involved in this, debate.  In this, debatable atmosphere, people are worried about the freedom of academia, and the professors’ declarations in the lectures, and in their, researches being, attacked, and, would  the management of the universities, under the pressures from the, politicians, donors, and the board’s cave in, and restricting the unpopular views and speech?

The supporter of academic freedom believe, that the universities should be a place where there can be free pursuits of intellect, that the various belief systems can be challenged and debated on without any restrictions, especially the beliefs about the territories of Israel and Palestine, it may cause this chilling effect for the academic discussions, and blockades the pursuits of truth, of knowledge.

The oppressions of the students also caused the people to question the school’s freedom of speech, although the universities have the rights to limit the location, the time, and the ways that the protesters protest, but using the violent means to combat the peaceful protests had gone, overboard, that this means had, infringed the students’ rights of expressing their different views that’s a basic right of the Constitution.

With the developments of the events, people realized, that these problems that are surfacing had, transcended beyond the current protests, that it’d, touched the issues of higher education’s role in a democratic society, the limits of freedom of speech, along with the universities’ means of maintaining self-government means as the pressure from outside exacerbated, and how would the schools fend for their own right to self-govern.

To resolve this series of issues, there would be a need ensure the safety of the schools, as the freedom of academia and speech are protected, to ensure the campuses are safe and are operating, normally.  In order for this to be achieved, there’s the need for open conversation, mutual understanding, along with a firm foundation of higher education as a space for intellectual debate, critical thinking, and the pursuit of knowledge base.

And so, this is what the protests brings out, in the universities, showing that the schools across the U.S. need to reform itself, that there’s the need for the wisdom to find a way for the peaceful protests to be ongoing, for the authorities to NOT use the forces to counter these protesting, students, but, this is quite hard, because, the air’s heating up, and, we’re all, getting angry, and, it still won’t matter, WHO threw that, very first, punch, and then, there’s that, RIOT, forcing the law enforcements to use violence, to combat the protesters…

Is Questioning the U.S. the Right Thing to Do? Counting All the Messes that the U.S. Left Behind

Don’t burst our bubbles yet, just, let us, live longer, in our, IGNORANT, bliss!  How we the people are, completely, BRAIN-DEAD, in believing in the lies of the DDP, the false promises of the U.S., because we all got, brainwashed by the, DDP…off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

Taiwan is Located at the Center of Shipping, it Should be the SAFEST Place on Earth

Taiwan is located at an important tactical location of Southeast Asia, the Taiwanese Strait, one of the more important naval routes in trade, and in politics.  In other words, Taiwan is located at the center of the global shipment routes, and the importance of island is, clearly, perceived, which made this island into a location where the world powers wanted to gain control over.

Since the beginning of the DDP government back in 2016, the relations between Taiwan and China hit rock bottom.  For eight years on end, there’s this sharp decline of citizens from the island going to work in China.  China is the largest business partner of Taiwan, in 2022, there’s the sums of 15.65 billion U.S.D. in trade we have with China, which helps the economy of Taiwan flourish.  Without this, Taiwan’s trades will be at a huge, deficit.

The DDP’s ideologies of Taiwanese Independence took control, and firmly believed the views of getting closer to the U.S., and making China the enemy is the way to go, the DDP firmly believed, that only the U.S. can, save Taiwan, and help the country defy China.  The former ambassador, Gilmore of Trump’s, the former ambassador to the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, Gilmore, was invited to Taiwan as a keynote speaker of an international forum, he’d stressed, that most would believe that the U.S. isn’t a reliant ally, but this sort of “doubting U.S. conspiracy theory” is created by the enemies, and spread by the enemies intentionally.

But, is the U.S., really, reliable?  Let’s count up, all the countries that the U.S. intervened into in their wars, the Korean War back in 1950, the Vietnam War in 1955, the War  in Afghanistan in 2000, the War in Iraq in 2003, 2014 in Syria, the U.S. left a huge mess behind in these, countries, and ran, scattered.

Ukraine and Russia, other than the long term disputes of territories, Putin and accused N.A.T.O. for its continued expansion eastward, threatening the security of Russia since the start of the 21^st Century, and warned Ukraine to not join N.A.T.O., and the president of Ukraine, Zelenskyy received the supports from E.U. and the U.S., and misinterpreted the situations, causing the Russian military to invade into Ukraine in February of 2022, causing the full-blown war between Ukraine and Russia.

In recent years, there’s the heightened tension between the straits, the Chinese military aircrafts, flying over the air of Taiwan is now, the norm, and the signs of it getting worse still.  Plus the latest conflict in Kimen, Mazu, there’s the, chances that a war might break out.  And all of these attracted international, attention, and there’s the beliefs of Taiwan’s following in Ukraine’s footsteps, becoming, the second, Ukraine.

In truth, I believe, that because of our special geographical, location, so long as we maintain the balanced relations between U.S., China, Japan, not favoring any sides, Taiwan should be, the safest place on earth.  Reason is simple, because NO country want to shoulder the risk of change the current situation.

The chairperson of China, Xi met with the former president, Ma, stated that we are of the same, roots, that both Taiwan and China should, work together, to seek unification, and peace.  The head recruit of the K.M.T., Fu and sixteen other KMT legislators, met up with the chair of Chinese policies, Wang, Wang stressed, that nobody wants a war on both sides, and there’s not a timeline for China’s invading Taiwan, that all that’s needed, is the good communications between the two sides.

Lai and Hsiao will be sworn into office as the newly elected president and vice president on May 20^th as Taiwan’s sixteenth president and vice president.  I truly hope, that this new government other than keeping the freedom, the core of democracy of Taiwan intact, also, carefully, consider the status of Taiwan internationally, to make more connections in diplomacy, especially, keeping that peaceful distance between China, U.S., and Japan.  And, if this is achieved, then, Taiwan will be, the safest, place on the planet, and we won’t be another, Ukraine.  And we the people will be, blessed, so shall the country be too!

Yeah, uh, good luck, because the elected is still a DDP, and, DDP is all about, defying China, getting tight with the U.S., and you think that this newly elected president (who’s also a DDP) will change to interacting, more amicably with China?  Yeah, think again, we’re on this path to war, and nobody knows it on this god DAMN island, because the people here is still living in the IGNORANT bliss of how BIG DADDY Uncle Sam will save us all when China DOES, invade, and we still don’t take precedence from Ukraine, the Hamas-Israeli, along with all of the other, wars and conflicts that the U.S. is, “involved” in…

Children Who Are, Intelligent in, Different, Ways

The school systems, that still zoomed in on the grades, and neglected how there are, the various kinds of talents, like the artistic, musical sides, of the students, and these students who don’t excel in the academia, gets, shunned, it’s the system that needs to shift its focus toward the fact that children are, intelligent in their own different, ways, that NOT every child learns the same way…translated…

The First Time I’d Made a Perfect Score, Ranked Top of My Class, I Was, Overjoyed, Let it Gotten to My Head, with No Sense of Awareness that Underneath the Glasses, There Was the Disappointments & Doubt…………

At the afternoon nap hours, I’d put my head on the desk, turned to my side.  The boy sitting next to me started carrying a conversation with me in a hushed, voice, suddenly, I saw his eyes, shut in a panic, and, without any time to react, that burning feeling, the four fingers of my instructor’s palm, imprinted onto my, right, cheek.

The male classmate wasn’t caught, he was the head of class, intelligent, well-behaved, excellent in the academia, no matter what he did, he will be all right.  In the elementary years, I’d often talked out of turn, wasn’t good in school, didn’t look at all or behaved as a girl would.  I’d asked the head of class, why he got to visit our homeroom instructor’s home?  He’d chuckled, “You can too, uh-huh……just keep on, dreaming and, waiting.”

My homeroom instructor’s handwriting was very beautiful, she’d stood very tall, with a slender, pointy face, her hair trimmed to short.  Every time she’d appeared outside of the classroom door, the air would freeze, and the naughtiest boys in class, didn’t dare to move a single, muscle.  I’d, wanted to, copy her handwriting, but, no matter how I’d tried, I couldn’t, duplicate her handwriting.

At nap, there were the teachers from the other classes, coming to visit with her.  The group of female instructors, tiptoed into the class, admired her newly purchased scarves, the accessories, and her silky dress.  They’d first, patted the turquoise colored, silk scarf, then tried on the agate, emerald necklace, and I’d, always, daydreamed and watched them in secret, in the glowing light reflected in from the glass windows, there’s that, simple wonder that transpired in the, classroom.

The homeroom instructor had the head of class to enter into the recitation competition, he’d worn that ironed-to-perfect white uniform, with the curves of his chin, turned, the way our homeroom instructor looked upon him, I thought her eyes were, glowing.  She’d never used that sort of a gaze on any one of us.  There came, that strong feeling, and I couldn’t tell if it was envy, or admiration.  That made me longed to be looked upon like that too.

At the beginning of a new semester, our homeroom instructor encouraged us to improve our grades, and set the rules, of however made six one hundreds, then, the student will receive a huge present from her.

On the day the grades were, revealed, I’d recalled it lucidly, the miracle came to me, I stood by her desk, as she was, about to, hand me my graded, exam, from the gold rim of her glasses, she’d, glanced over at me.  That was, the very first perfect score, the first time I was, the head of the class, I allowed the joy to go over my head, without realizing, that there were, the doubts, the disappointment, that was there, in my instructor’s, eyes underneath her, glasses.  After that, I’d, started, hoping for the perfect scores, and her looks upon me, and day after day after day, I’d, gone from hopeful, to, disappointment.

On the final day of school, as I was picking up my things, readied myself to head home, my homeroom instructor called me, had me follow her into the office.  She’d, pulled out a trophy, that tiny gold person, was glowing, with the red and blue ribbons, tied into a, bow, with the word, “excellent performance” printed in bright red and bold.  My very first, insignia of, glory, she’d never, forgotten.

And, many years later, I’d seen the movie, “Happiness on the Way”, the female protagonist, Shu-Chih was punished to stand in the back of class because she didn’t enroll into the afterschool study program of her instructor’s, later her mother gave the high end fabric to the instructor, hoping to cover for the girl’s lacking.  And, suddenly, it’d, dawned on me, that in my homeroom instructor’s mind, we were, children raised in, different, means.

After the realization I had, that stubbornness that’s set in too long ago, started, diminishing.  And recently, I’d begun, part-timing as an instructor, and gotten an alternative perspective, understood firsthand the hardships, the trials, the joys of being a school instructor.  As I’d watched every one of my students, working hard, to achieve, maybe, they all are making, different grades high and low, due to their varied level of abilities, I’d hoped, that I can be that light to them, when they needed.

On them, I couldn’t tell the differences between one student to the next, only seen, those pairs of eyes, that are, shining, with the varied, light.

This is on, how every child is different, every child is, intelligent in her/his own way.  Some are good in their studies, and not in the physical activities, some are artistic, but not doing excellent enough in the academia, and that’s just it, the current systems of education, they do NOT help these kids who aren’t academically excellent to shine through, and they still, get degraded by the adults, because the STUPID adults don’t realize, that every kid is intelligent in her/his own, way.
