Colonial America 1776-2040?
The worst man-made disaster is war, but America is perpetually at it, which may soon result in World War III, thus destroying us all as a species.
October 6, 1982
Do you remember what you were doing on October 6, 1982?
Perhaps not, as it was exactly 42 years ago.
But I do, because it was a special day for me – I finally “escaped” from “communist China” on that day – I left China for Japan on October 6, 1982!
No, I did not leave China in a boat, nor did I sneak out of China in darkness. Instead, together with 149 other “top” Chinese students, I left China with a huge honor: after being chosen by the government to pursue graduate degrees in Japan, we were warmly sent off by some government officials on that day in anticipation that we, upon completion of our studies in Japan, would all come back home, helping modernize China.
The American idea is a lie!
I came to America in 1985, believing in the American idea for one simple reason: It sounded fascinating. However, shortly after realizing my American dream (My American Dream Story), I started doubting it. Now, I have concluded that the American idea is a lie.
The People’s Republic of China at Age 75
The People’s Republic of China (PRC) was born on October 1, 1949. Today, China celebrated its 75th birthday in style (President Xi vows greater national achievements, contributions to humanity’s peace, development). The Chinese are very proud of themselves, as China has been well on her way to claiming the 21st century—China offers a real and the only significant model of prosperity without colonialism, thus ending Western colonialism of the past few hundred years, finally!
Donald Trump vs. Deng Xiaoping
In a previous post (Donald Trump vs. Kamala Harris), I endorsed Trump 2024. In this post, I will spell out the possibility if Trump wins in 2024, encouraging him to…
Donald Trump vs. Kamala Harris
Both are evils, but three main reasons to vote for Trump:
- Harris was selected!
- Record: Trump vs. Biden-Harris.
- War.
The Trump phenomenon explained (2)
I published on this subject for the first time one year ago (The Trump phenomenon explained). This is version 2, with some minor changes from version 1.
The Trump phenomenon can be highlighted by three points as follows:
- 2016: He was elected the American President.
- 2020: He lost his re-election bid to Joe Biden.
- 2024: He has a good chance to win in the 2024 election, thanks to the incompetence of the Biden/Harris administration.

Frank Li: The most efficient amateur male in pro/am ballroom dancing
My first out-of-town ballroom dance competition was OSB 2019, and I placed 4th (Gentlemen, Open Smooth, age-group C). After that, I started privately claiming that I am America’s most efficient male amateur in pro/am ballroom dancing (age-group C initially and S1 now) based on this simple fact: All the other five finalists had been dancing for many more years than I had. Now, it is time to reveal this claim publicly!
