Why is this Apocalypse? — Chip Tsao
(27 Feb) China let the Wuhan Pneumonia epidemic happen because they lacked self-confidence in western values. Yet, China pretends to construct an overlapping period of this “Humanity with a Common Destiny.”
The leftards of the western society have a long history of drumming up the introspective guilt towards western civilisation. A hundred years ago, German writer Oswald Spengler wrote the book Decline of the West (Der Untergang des Abendlandes) to undermine the occidental-centric viewpoint of history, and argued that western European civilisation was in a declining or even destructing stage.
————————————-
//But they don’t know that contemporary China has no “civilisation.”
//The so-called “Construction of Humanity with a Common Destiny” and “China Dream” were just bubbles formed by pumping money from China’s GDP to the world.
//Their wait for China to construct “Humanity with a Common Destiny” is, of course, a nightmare as well as a joke. EU, UN, WHO, and WTO are rotten inside and out one more than the next.

When Bloomberg News’s Reporting on China Was Challenged, Bloomberg Tried to Ruin Me for Speaking Out
//I am one of the many women Mike Bloomberg’s company tried to silence through nondisclosure agreements… I never even worked for Bloomberg.
//the Bloomberg machine will go to in order to avoid offending Beijing… so dependent on the vast China market for its business that its lawyers threatened to devastate my family financially if I didn’t sign an NDA silencing me about how Bloomberg News killed a story critical of Chinese Communist Party leaders.
//Soon after Bloomberg published the article on Xi’s family wealth in June 2012, my husband received death threats conveyed by a woman who told him she represented a relative of Xi… “Something will happen. It will look like an accident. Nobody will know what happened. He’ll just be found dead.”
//I desperately wanted to speak publicly about the death threats, feeling it would give us stronger protection, but Bloomberg News wanted us not to say anything about it… I stayed silent until October 26, 2012, when another (unrelated) story was published in defiance of the Chinese government. I decided to tweet that we had received death threats after the Bloomberg story on Xi Jinping.
//a Bloomberg manager called my husband and said, “Get your wife to delete her tweets.”
//“If we run the story, we’ll be kicked out of China,” Winkler reportedly said on a company call.
//Mike Bloomberg… his company had self-censored out of fear of offending the Chinese government
//I was also infuriated that they had kept us in harm’s way after we received threats… and now were trying to take away my freedom of speech forever.
//Even now, I am nervous about the consequences of speaking out. But the more of us speak out, the stronger we are.

From the early days of the Movement until now, Hong Kongers have launched many class boycotts and strikes. Many merchants and boutiques joined to support. This time, we stepped into a 1970s old-style elevator, as if we have walked through a time machine, and came to a shop with an antique wooden signboard selling leather shoes and clothing.
Just walked out from the elevator, we already heard the voice of men chatting, which included a lot of vulgar content, from the shop. The dark wall outside contrasts with the warm yellow lights in the shop. Each pair of leather shoes was neatly arranged. The scent of leather could be smelled in the air. All sorts of repairing tools for leather shoes were filled on the wooden display rack, such as shoelaces and brushes, as well as various colours of shoe polish, cream and wax.
Shop assistants in workwear and goggles took a pair of leather shoes from the polish machine to the counter, rubbed the shoes under the light of the classic library-style table lamp. A set of leather sofas were placed at a corner, with several photos showing the manufacturing process of leather shoes hung on the wall at the back. Another corner placed a pair and a pair of repairing leather shoes, tools for repair and shoe molds. There was also a polish machine with the trace of time besides.
The branch in Central mainly sells European handmade leather shoes, while the one in Tsim Sha Tsui sells hats, shirts, trousers and jackets. Everything from head to toe can be found in the shop and all details are well thought out. Besides, the shop also provides products’ repair and care services. The emphasis on the integrity of taste is a pursuit of beauty. Similarly, leather, just like a gentleman who is sometimes elegant and sometimes rough, can withstand the test of time.

由運動早期到現在，香港人發起了為數不少的罷課罷市活動，其中不少商戶和小店都有響應支持，這次我們踏入七十年代舊式電梯，彷彿穿過了一部時光機，來到一間有著古木招牌的皮鞋服裝店。
甫出電梯就聽到男士閒聊聲音由店內傳出，當中夾雜著不少的粗俗內容，門外深色牆身襯托著店內的暖黃燈光，每一對皮鞋都整齊地排列，空氣中有著皮革的香味，木製陳列架擺滿形形色色的皮鞋修復用品，有不同的鞋帶和刷子，也有
著各種顏色的鞋油、鞋乳及鞋蠟。
穿着工作服及護目鏡的店員，拿着皮鞋從打磨機走到架前櫃枱，在一盞古典圖書館枱燈的燈光映照下擦著皮鞋，店內一隅放有一套皮製的沙發，背景牆上掛了多幅皮鞋製造過程的照片，另一隅放置著一雙雙修復中的皮鞋、修復工具和鞋模等，旁邊還放有一台帶點歲月痕跡的打磨機。
中環分店主要售賣歐洲的手造皮鞋，尖沙咀本店則由內外配襯的帽、裇衫、褲以至外套，由頭到腳都一應俱全，所有細節都照顧周到，並提供修復和保養的服務，這種強調品味的整體性，是一種對美的追求，同樣地皮革經得起時間的考驗，就像一位時而優雅時而粗獷的紳士。
