Perhaps it is a belief that transcends the world that provides people hope for the future. This belief could be originated from religion, or the observation from history, or just a simple belief of kindness in the nature of human being. Please support: patreon.com/bennytai

Resistance needs resilience to be successful. Resilience is the capability to prepare for disruptions, to recover from shocks and presses, and to adapt and grow from a disruptive experience. news.mingpao.com/pns/%e8%a7%80%…

The CCP makes a wrong diagnosis. The prescription must then be mistaken also. The oppression is the fiercest and densest in history.  hk.appledaily.com/local/20201124… #蘋果日報

It is time for Hong Kong’s Democratic Movement to return to civil society. From building up many points of civil power and linking them together, lines and surfaces can be formed. hk.appledaily.com/local/20201117… #蘋果日報

When many people in a human community discover they also have the human needs of self-esteem and self-actualisation, the authoritarian laws will be questioned. People will demand to have laws that can protect the rights of a dignified human being. news.mingpao.com/pns/%e8%a7%80%…

Even if we are now in an era of authoritarian zombies, there are still ways to handle. Do not surrender. No need to be afraid. Insist to speak the truth and have to be more creative. Build a network of parents and teachers. news.mingpao.com/pns/%e8%a7%80%…

The decision to cancel the teacher’s registration is illegal (no compelling evidence), irrational (disproportionate punishment) and procedurally improper (no opportunity to make oral representation). hk.appledaily.com/local/20201013… #蘋果日報

Human society needs laws to resolve problems so as to satisfy these human needs. What is considered to be the most important need will determine which problem is to be handled first and the ultimate purpose of law. news.mingpao.com/pns/%e8%a7%80%…
