you're from the "Valley of Hedonistan"?? you tell me?? lots of folks here don't understand or appreciate their many freedoms,,, if you didn't pay your taxes Bub, the IRS is not gonna spirit you away for 3 months while they "persuade" you to pay up and apologize now are they? They may throw your butt in jail, but only after "due process".....

It is a good thing for the Chinese public that she fessed up and pay up after her ordeal. It will be a loss to them if she got away with it like Donald Trump. As for the head of Interpol, he's being given the same treatment as any corrupt official in China. Third world countries naturally have higher corruption rates than developed countries and China cannot afford the "freedom" way to deal with it.

Jin Yong was a true master, his prose was both exquisite and easy to understand. As a boy growing up in a western country, his novels gave me a link to Chinese legends and traditions.

Back then in Montreal, the only source for his novels was this small library in Chinatown. It was operated by the local Taiwanese association, and I remember they had this big portrait of Jiang Jieshi on the walls. One time, I convinced my mom to let me take a day off school just to visit the library so I can borrow the next series on my reading list. When I got there however, I found out that the library was closed on that very day. I remember I was so disappointed I almost cried on the way home. I had to wait an excruciatingly long 4 days before it was weekend and I could visit the library again!

Professor Cha will be sorely missed.

问世间，情是何物，直教生死相许？
天南地北双飞客，老翅几回寒暑。
欢乐趣离别苦，就中更有痴儿女。
君应有语，渺万里层云，千山暮雪，只影向谁去。

焚我残躯，熊熊圣火，
生亦何欢，死亦何苦？
为善除恶，唯光明故。
喜乐悲愁，皆归尘土。
怜我世人，忧患实多。

武林至尊，宝刀屠龙。
号令天下，莫敢不从！
倚天不出，谁与争锋？

侠之大者，为国为民。

大丈夫一言既出，死马难追。
