Dumplings, oh I love dumplings.

I’ve been quite engaged in the political news and social (in)justice, until I realized after the HK riots that engagement is really just enragement. For some reason nothing constructive gets done as we mistake discourse as dialogue. So in re-starting my little corner of the web*, I’ve decided as part of a regular posting, I’m going to share some of my favourite contents online. Oh there will still be the usual rants but you know what, for a positive beginning, I’m going to share this absolutely awesome video on dumplings.

在書店看了【虎媽的戰歌】卻買了【教育應該不一樣】

虎媽的戰歌前幾天我在金石堂陪老婆稍微讀了一下【虎媽的戰歌】,我拿起來差不多沒三分鐘就立刻放下了。她倒是讀了更久。但是最後我們倆卻都搖搖頭將書放回架子上。沒因為甚麼,就因為我認為這本書真是不應該被出版。
