Chinese Investment in Africa

It is said that the Chinese would make a province out of Japan. The rumor is quite known in Africa, and a similar worry troulbles the people of different tribes, who have been dreaming to modernize their own countries with the help of the Chinese. In Uganda, a riot had almost arisen when in 2014 news said that 12 Ugandan were sentenced to death for delivering drug in China. Colonization is one of the explanations that some Africans would like to draw our attention to. The word does make clear why there are so many Chinese rushing in Africa and other areas of the world. But it can not explicate the difference between the Indian and the Chinese, the former dwelling in Africa like a new tribe while the later only investing there. In Kampala, I met a Chinese girl from He Nan Province, dealing imports for our boss, Mr. Lou, who is already Ugandan in citizenship. She proudly showed me with an old copy of the local newspaper where her photos and illegal dealing were printed. She had stayed in prison for seven days until Mr. Lou bailed her out of trouble. Her bad luck came out of the many kinds of hunting guns and pistols she had imported for our boss. Mr. Lou is a famous tycoon in Africa. In Uganda, he knows President Museveni and built State House for him. In Libya, he lived in the neighborhood of President Gaddafi and called him a real man. These Chinese pioneers are trying hard to skunk any potential competitor. Mr. Lou is one of the wheel-dealers. His business is already beyond the scope of paper producing.

Memory about Chinese medicine

It is great to study something that really happened in life. In my case, this is Chinese medicine. Once during my childhood, I kept coughing for a long time, which seemed to be more than a month. Even though my parents bought me syrup, the cough continued untill one day a colleague of Dad recommended us to eat steamed pears. Mom was shocked with the idea, but she prepared me with a steamed pear. It was hollowed out and filled with rock sugar and pepper. It tasted strange and almost disgusted me. Strangely, it healed my disease.  Now I am nearly fifty and studying Chinese medicine. I have found that there are more miracles than I could imagine.

The Chinese Hatred

How long can you hate someone? What do you do for your hatred toward someone? These were the questions I had bothered my colleagues with after a visit to Summer Palace, which was destroyed by the Eight-Power Allied Forces in 1900. My Chinese fellows answered "It depends."   It is slippery of the Chinese to say so, since they are always being roundabout. In my opinion, the Chinese can hate their own enemies for hundreds of years, and they build monuments, museums and even parks to remind themselves of the hatred. They hate the Hui-Hui moslems for the riots in the Qing dynasty, and they have called us THIEVES for more than a hundred years; they hate the Japanese for the invasion in WW II, and they have ever called them SMALL GHOSTS with lots of momuments, museums built to memorize the hate. Logically, the nickname of the Europeans is OVERSEA GHOSTS; the Africans, BLACK GHOSTS; the Indians, Number 3; the Koreans, CORN EARS.   The hate toward their enemies is leading the Chin

My prediction about the future in 2022

I do worry about the future of this world, wondering if there will be miracles. After the demonstration in Hongkong started a political suppression in 2019, and after the coronavirus spread across the globe, and after Russia invaded Ukraine, there seems another wars ready to happen. When they take place, in my opinion, there would be more tiny countries popping out around ours, especially in Asia. These countries would get rid of their old traditions as well as political systems, joining into federations like USA. They would speak languages as popular as English. They would adopt immigrants and refugees. Moreover, they would all respect human rights!
