Hong Wu the 14th year of Ming dynasty (1381), Ming Tai Zhu (Zhu Yuanzhang) sent the South Expedition General Fu Youde, who led 300,000 troops, to Yunnan to suppress the minority’s rebellion. After victory, most of the troops returned to the capital but some stayed, through the combination of defense and cultivation together, they carried on their lives in the mountainious area without any influence by outside world until they were discovered by anthropologist after 1949. Tu Bao people is the descendant of these remaining Ming troops.
Su Dou Tang (Crisp Molt Bean Candy) was their traveling military food, which appeared in Jiangnan 600 years ago and was brought into Tun Bao by the above mentioned troops. Today it has been lost in its original place Jiangnan but is preserved here in Tun Bao as a common-used health food by the Tun Bao people.
(n.b. Tun Bao is located in Tianlong County, Guizhou, China. Here a lot of Ming Jiangnan culture, architecture, opera and custom is preserved because the troops were mostly from Jiangnan, and the special closed location makes it unaffected by the changing dynasties and times.)

I heard some sewing women fight in one Macau factory
Why they fought?
These common women who earn wage to feed their family.
Why they slapped on the headwoman's face?
They did it
for the job, for the conspiracy that made them fire
I heard police come and them back to China
They left defeated, only the sound of the slapping voiced their victory?
Merely slight women twisting
Why it ended up like this?
Because they need the job
Because they know nothing about law as a women worker
工廠女工掌摑女工頭
因疑女工頭阴謀令其被炒
警察來了
女工被押解出境
小小女人打斗
弄至如此田地
為什麼? 因為她們需要工作, 因為她們法律無知

As far as I view, most Chinese don't know how to enjoy life. They work a lot, even on Saturday's and Sunday's.
So no matter how rich some are, they are slave for work and money. Macau, where i live, generally the private sectors must work on Saturday.
Today I am one of them. I must search for information about a battle in 1279 in China, and a lot of Macau economic datas, on this Saturday.
Wooh, wooh, let me sing a song and recall the sunny beach and the happiness of killing a day by swimming, eating, a wonderful noon nap by a tree in breeze fm South China Sea on an faraway island last Saturday.
And my long-pending trip to west China is still pending!!
Life, i don't know what u art!
人在江湖,身不由己.

A lot have been eaten - river food poisonous, seafood good - then steam the deep-sea fish, shrimp, and shells.
A lot have been spoken - the girl saw shadow figures else cannot - body, spirit, superpower-way of taoist, witch, buddhist.
Zhenghe the great Chinese admiral/visionary of 600 years ago has been discussed - where he died? no definition - Calicut,India or Nanjing, China or in the light transparancy of blue vapor?
Let's dice the dice, facing the pearl river,
Honest dice or boasting dice,
Smart dice or idiot dice,
no matter how,
containers being lifted to the ships for sail to overseas,
sand boats and fishing boats flashing by.
Let's laugh, laugh by side of our peal river, the smelly pearl river
p.s. This pic is not the pearl river mentioned here but a very common small river in pearl river delta.
珠江口之一
臨江玩骰
很多美味吃過了- 河鮮有毒, 吃海鮮吧 - 清蒸深海鱼,聖子皇,白灼蝦;
很多說話談過了- 女孩見到別人見不到的白影, 身體,魂魄 -求神作法辟邪,道士,神婆,仙姑;
鄭和這個600年前的大航海家也侃過了-他是死在印度卡利卡特或中國南京或那輕盈通透的藍色大洋上?
來,玩骰子吧
老實骰大話骰, 管他呢
貨櫃正被吊起去遠航,漁火點點閃爍.
來, 開懁大笑吧, 傻子般地開心
在我們的珠江邊, 發著臭香味的珠江
注: 所附相片並非文中的珠江, 而是在珠三角很常見的小河汊

Change brings opportunities, challenges, and new life - they said and I know;
Yet I hesitate to
farewell to my beloved land and people.
But I don't like the polluted air, lazy mind, the dwelling grounding.
I pose to fly.
Change, change, change,
summon me...

Hopped into the night,
giggling, like a girl,
from the long passed childhood.
The lake, the people,the shadows
all smiled ...
跳繩 跳進黑夜,
咯咯哈哈的笑,如同一小女孩
從逝去的童年走來
湖,人們,暗影
全都在微笑
