Lending A Hand

The schools had just gone on vacation for the Chinese Lunar New Year, or the Spring Festival, and I was looking for something fun and entertaining to do for the holidays. I wanted to go to a concert with my friend and watch the fireworks, but in light of the coronavirus, most of the shows across the country were cancelled.

On January 10, one of my Chinese friends invited me to do a performance in Yulin, South China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, for the Spring Festival. That was around the time the COVID-19 epidemic was getting serious. Then he suggested that we volunteer at the Yulin Railway Station. We worked together with a few other local volunteers, doing various different assignments around the station.

Should We Stop The Trend of ‘Feminization'?

In traditional Chinese thinking, women are supposed to be gentle and soft and men masculine. In recent years, however, the popularity of young male film and TV stars who appear to be “feminine” in their dressing, hair style and even mindset and their impact on the youth has led some to believe that the Chinese boys are not “masculine” enough.
