April 24 (M) 2017 What are the basic woman/human rights of a first lady?

Crystal LC Huang shared Global-Awakening's video.

Is the current first lady in suffering (mental, physical, or both), repeating her predecessors' (his Ex-es, whether in the marriage or outside the marriage) stories?
Hard to tell from these captured nuances,
but something might not escape from your eyes ?

Crystal LC Huang Not to mention being a first lady - most of wives in the world can feel such a treatment.

Crystal LC Huang For the video part, I have no comments on other family's affairs.
But, these are public figures. Whether she was a model, star, or from a formerly, socialist country before, she is a woman (yes, does he forget that "woman's rights are part of human rights - in a rich family and an affluent country"? Furthermore, she is a mother and wife now. Doesn't she deserve a basic or proper treatment (according to the captured images in real time) from her husband and family members?

Crystal LC Huang Surely, human beings need to make a living, but are there other alternative ways to do it, instead of pursuing one's benefits, profits, pleasure, or convenience by exploiting other beings' lives in pains and suffering? Yes, even human enslaving in the mass scale of the contemporary societies is still going on...

Indeed, people have no right to toss opinions on how one amuses oneself. Just a minor episode to share: more than an heir of the current US dynasty, had good times from the big game fun (can/range hunting on tigers, cheetahs, lions, giraffes, elephants and rest of large animals for entertaining.

Week 13. Topic: 6 major Social Institutions - the second one: Politics and Government. We discussed varieties of political ideologies, and political socialization processes.
This semester, a "peculiar" smoke-screen Populism is in the lime-light. Some students expressed their admiration for the current president. One was based on the religious preference, and the other, gender was a key concern. Here a a Tech College... just do the best one can if one can - including my potential biases.

Crystal LC Huang Family is the base of the rest of social institutions. Take a look at these first couples. Perhaps, the current first lady is much more"politically" independent than the rest? Thanks to Laurie Anne Hughes's photo.

April 20 (TH), 2017 Languages, Privileges, and Honor

Will this world be better and safer - when one learns to respect, or appreciate people (not just those political/international "dignitaries") who speak a second or third language to communicate with you - isn't it a privilege? Try to communicate with others via your second or third language when appropriate -isn't it an honor? - Xena LCH.

Crystal LC Huang Each language, in particular, one's mother tongue, is a whole package of a person and culture's identity and wisdom, strongly tied to emotion and the outlook of the world- very dear to the heart and soul.

Crystal LC Huang Doesn't history reveal this reality: for many benevolences of a dominant language, there are/were exploitations, tragedies, repressions, if not dignity-destruction onto the oppressed, hidden behind it?

Al Poirier Being a language illiterate, I have always envied those, like my father, who were bi- or multi-lingual. Unfortunately, I was born without the language learning gene. Tried Latin, French, Spanish and German, all without success!

Crystal LC Huang @Al, good morning! I saw multi-lingual genes, just see how the environment reinforces them?
There are a couple of theories depicting how several generations of Americans, in particular, the youth (surely, they later became adults ) were deprived the "formal" (or serious) linguistic/foreign learning opportunities.

Crystal LC Huang Al, might it be going beyond the individual level to look into the whole linguistic learning environment and the policy makers' ideologies in different timeframes, in particular, when a society is big and affluent (such as a superpower)? Does America's geo-political location also contribute to this linguistic-learning suppression?

Happy Easter!

Song for today: A well-known Japanese song during 50s and 60s in Taiwan. Another colonial "legacy" happened to my native country via popular culture.

リンゴ追分 (懷念蘋果花/Nostalgic Apple Blossoms)
Composer：米山正夫 Lyricist：小沢不二夫
Singer: Xena LCH# 121

リンゴの花びらが　風にちったよな 月夜に　月夜に　そっと　えええ……
つがる娘は　ないたとさ つらい別れを　ないたとさ
リンゴの花びらが 風に散ったよな　あああ……

お岩木山のてっぺんを　綿みてえな白い雲が
ポッカリポッカリながれてゆき
桃の花が咲き　桜が咲き
そいから早咲きのリンゴの花ッコが咲く頃は
おら達の一番たのしい季節だなやー
だどもじっぱり無情の雨っこさ降って
白い花びらを散らすころ
おらあのころ東京さで

死んだお母ちゃんのことを思い出して……
おら……おら……」(Skipped)

つがる娘は　ないたとさ
つらい別れを　ないたとさ
りんごの花びらが
風に散ったよな　あああ……

Crystal LC Huang Today is my mother's memorial day (based on the Lunar Calendar). She passed away in 2005. I recorded the above elegant song to commemorate her love to us ten siblings. Usually, I observe my mother's memorial day on April 27 (the Gregorian calendar), while most of my folks honor and remember her according to the Lunar Calendar. Yes, even the calendar deserves the respect of Diversity.

April 15 (Sa), 2017 Two songs for tonight: the love "legacies" of the Colonialism/Imperialism

Crystal LC Huang

2 songs for tonight: the "legacies" of Colonialism/Imperialism.
It is about the Powerful vs. not-so-Powerful languages: the most important culture-identity of human beings. Now 2 more:

The first one is a Taiwan regional folk song with a Colonial theme. I called it "Taiwan's Madam Butterfly". Women, whether in a militant country or an invaded nation, the destiny seemed similar, happening not long ago.




安平追想曲 Melancholic Nostagia of a Colonial Love Story. By Xena LCH#84



Crystal LC Huang A brief background of the song in the colonial era happening in Taiwan:
" Anping recollected song 安平追想曲 " (Taiwan regional song : An-pîng Tui-sióng-khik) was composed by Hsu Sher and written by the famous Taiwanese lyricist Chen Da-ru in 1951.

The song describes a sorrowful love story of a comprador businessman's daughter in Taiwan, who had a tabooed love affair with a Dutch physician, and then, gave birth to a blonde in Anping, Tainan, a major city of the south part of Taiwan during the Dutch-colonial period of time in the 17th century.

The blonde grew up encountering with the similar fate of her mother, betrayed by her lover, another foreigner.

There are two time-frames regarding the origin of Anping recollected song: One is during the 17th century, the Dutch colonial period in Taiwan. The other one is based on a 19th century's legend.

The inter-racial, inter-ethnic love affairs and the offspring they brought to this world during the traditionally colonial society was unusual and caused controversies and pains to the protagonists of the weak.

身穿花紅長洋裝　風吹金髮思情郎

想郎船何往　音信全無通　伊是行船遇風浪

放我情難忘　我的心情無地講

相思寄著海邊風　海風無情笑我憨

啊...不知初戀心茫茫...

相思情郎想自己　不知爹親二十年

思念想欲見　只有金十字　乎我母親左遺記

放我私生兒　我聽母初講起　愈想不幸愈悲哀

到底現在生或死　啊...伊是荷蘭的船醫...

想起母子的命運　心肝想爹也怨爹

別人有爹疼　我是母親晟　今日青春孤單影

全望多情兄　望兄的船隻　早日回歸安平城

安平純情金小姐　啊...等你入港銅鑼聲

嘉義民謠 : 一隻鳥仔哮啾啾
Arranger 蔡振南, 江孝文, and others
Singer: Dr. Xena LCH



The above one is a well-known folk song in Jia-yi (嘉義), south part of Taiwan. The song expressed the Japanese's brutality and colonial hegemony on Taiwanese people. The politic-economic oppression and cultural suppression reached the intolerable condition, the local people, in particular, 諸羅 (嘉義) areas, organized to fight back and were brutally massacred by Japanese military establishment.
Birds in the lyrics symbolized the oppressed, whose nests were destroyed and offspring were killed by the brutal intruders and oppressors. People bravely fought against the colonial domination and they sacrificed for their love for freedom and justice.

Lyrics:
嘿!嘿!嘿都一隻鳥仔
哮啾啾　荷哩
哭到三更一又半暝找無巢　嘿!嘿!
嘿都什麼人啊甲我撞破一個巢　荷哩
乎阮抓著不放伊甘休　荷嘿荷
