Chinese Folk Dance See a clip of Ruan Ling Yu below,ย .ย .
.ย .ย .I cry watching it, remembering that my mother escaped the patriarchy of slavery from North Korea.ย .ย .ย .
Koreans are Han Chinese who escaped the Mongolian take over of their Chinese land, their mystical dreams and their stolenย future.
BLESSINGS to all women.ย .ย .
.ย .ย .ย . comment on how handsome my butter butt is and how a wonderful you are: Thank you so much!

being talented,ย .ย .
seeing a new vision about womanhood,ย .ย .
becoming thy greatest female Chinese film star of her day,ย .ย .
standing tall, smiling as thy Goddess of Cinema,ย .ย .ย .ย
enjoying thy sacred fruits of her stardom,ย .ย .ย .
loving her new wealth, her good looks,ย .ย .
finding one day, the press attacking her,ย .ย .
being accused of doing what all male stars do,
having love affairs, starting to become confused,ย .ย .ย .
dying from such patriarchal accusations,ย .ย .
fighting against thy press,
slowly moment by moment,
becoming sadder, being more depressed,ย .ย .ย .
being imprisoned by stereotypical viewsย ,ย .ย .
why?.ย .ย .
feeling enchained by hypocritical standards . . .
being obedient, . .
raising many kids, cooking for thy man,ย .ย .ย .
protesting boldy, no, no, no.ย .ย .ย .
dying on thy International Woman's Day,ย .ย .
committing suicide, ending her short life,ย .ย .ย .
saying that all women are equal to all men,ย .ย .ย .
dying young, the largest funeral, by women. .
crying, mourning, realizing that theyย .ย .
being too critical of thy Goddess,ย .ย .
Ruan Ling Yu, ้ฎ็ฒ็ย .ย .ย .
.ย .ย .ย .rest in peaceย .ย .ย .ย .

.ย .ย .ย .thank you for reading this, one of my first scholarly articles was about this woman who wanted to change how women were treated by Chineseย men,
.ย .ย . but found herself being attacked by women as being too loose and not conforming enough, for she was ahead of her times.ย .ย .
It starts with love. STOP ALL THE WARS.ย .ย . LOVE WOMEN MOREย .ย .ย .

From Newcastle To Whitby
Introduction I love going to Whitby and I used to drive but Whitby is not a place for cars, just park them and that's it. We usually stay at La Rosa (my favorite hotel ever) or Dillons (just a lovely welcoming place) and my stories about them are at the end of this.

I'm very inexperienced with Chinese art and Chinese culture. I honestly don't know if I've ever heard Chinese singing. (If I have, I forgot it because I epilepsy that screws with my memory.) Your videos are mesmerizing, Wayne. That opening video is so beautiful, just captivating. And so is your poem. This was a very fitting tribute for International Woman's Day. โก๐Billโก
I love your videos, the music, and your poetry! Thank you!๐๐
I think many of us will notice internalised misogyny with ourselves at some time or other.
