Last week this time

Last week this time, when the whole world was focus on the funeral of Micheal, there was a shocking event happened on the other side of the planet.
5th july, the July 2009 Ürümqi riot broke out. as usual a huge media bias is found. Maybe this time we can consider putting Micheal’s funeral into account, which had consumed alot the media’s resource, therefore less resource was spent on other news report?!
As usual the focus of media focus alot on the humanity and media transparency of china. It has always trying to put the same story on the screen with china. But you cant always amplify the same matter in every kind of situation, readers would get bored. In many of the reports prejudiced the fault toward the government of China. On the otherhand, no one questioned more about the start of the inhuman violence. The Uighur groups insisted their protest was peaceful while they had weapons in their hands.
Many innocents were stabbed with knives, beaten by bartons and stoned to death. Some injuries said during interview at the hosiptal ” The gangs of Uyghurs carried weapons in their hands, aimed toward Hans, they targeted men at first, then they started to attack also women and kids afterward.”
The battle was purely bloody and insane to have 156 persons beaten to death in one day, unpolished by boom, or any advance weapons. 123 of them were Han, and the rest 33 were Uyghur.
2 days after, many Han protestors were demonstarting with homemade weapons. Protestors claimed to be passively forced carrying weapons for self defence purpose. They demaged some uyghur owned shops. Luckily thhe crowd got clam down eventually, and no further volience occured.
On the forth day, both Hans ans Uyghurs, many of them escaped away from Ürümqi. During the riot, there were Han travellers reported that they were helped by uyghurs while they were traced with weapons. Some reported they hosted by uyghur families. Furthermore, the words from the spokesman for the World Uyghur Congress were so bias from the fact and reports. That convinced me to possibly believe that the violent protest was organised by some seperatists who do not respresent the will of all the ethic group. However, analyist said it was not caused by seperatists or terrorists.

Fashion back and fore

In the developed stage, in order to step forward, we always need to step backward first. If the wall is right in front of you, you probably cannot see the wall painting. However, you may see it better if you see it from further away.

The fashion has always go back and fore, we once did, then we said we cant anymore, centuries after, we adopt the same style! If we didnt lose our concept of clothing, bikini wouldn’t be born 63 years ago, if we always follow the same rule of beauty, Causal wear would not exist today, and coco chanel would not be in the history book.

However the question is: now at the 21st century, while no one has doubt of one’s cannot be, how do we continue the current of fashion in order to satisfy all or create a historic change?  The door to the different world is opened, we are absolutely open mind.  The fashion industry has been very active since then, in shortly 30 years many kinds of ideas arrive. On the other hand of freedom, a glass window is created. Whatever we make no longer surprises us, when the world has no more expectation.

In the modern fashion age, many desiners has sacrificed the comfort to create many bizarre style and nasty shoes. So not following the rules is called cutting edge! Some works, some doesn’t.  I told you to step backward, but I didn’t ask you to turn around. To create fashion in order to break the rules is just simply out of the topic.

The tension 1/7

Many people like to ask me how is Hong Kong since it has returned to China. The answer is lied between the tension of  boarder.  We carries blood of chinese, which is a fact wouldn’t change even after being a british colony for a 100 years.

However during this 100 years, many intercrossing relationship has built, somehow the fact has been upside down. The british was once enemy, then we’ve becomed friends. The friendship is far but close, still a majority of the population had experienced the colonist days. We are not recognised as british, while we hold BNO (britsh nationality overseas), it looks the exactly the same as  British passport, however, they are two different passports having absolutely different definition.

On the other hand, we were used to be chinese, we still are, yet we will never be treated like a 100% chinese. We have our own law, which is different from the one in china. We hold HKSAR (hong kong special administration region) passport, which offer us more flexibility to travel than a chinese passport. Now is only the 12th year of the “50 years unchanged” promised by Deng Xiaoping, however our relationship is carrying out mutation over time.  Having the unlevel developement status over two lands, have broken the one cell into two. I love china, I am proud to be chinese, nevertheless being a “special chinese” I feel being backstabbed. If one day an equalibrium is achieved, we will soon split up again going to the opposite direction.

Our future is in the back of the mountain, under the shadow.
