Prof @ UAlberta: LA expat, lilikoi enthusiast. You can ask me about Chinese/Sinophone scholarly things, but you can also ask me about my cat and all other cats in my area.
Also we are now in a post "lots of high ranking retired military of various countries swear that aliens are real" era.

It was a temporary ban from appearing in Chinese films. I think it's been lifted since. And yes, she was banned for playing a resistance operative who fell in love with a collaborator while Tony Leung who played a collaborator did not receive a ban.

The other timeless genre is obviously that a ecumenical assembly of monastics yell at you about your life choices which I feel I would have been very anxious about!

Is almost every dream in Hong lou meng not an anxiety dream? Most of them are also erotic dreams, but you know.

DHS Officers near MDC coming out of the parking lot now in LA. At least one detention. Lots of stun grenades, pepper balls, chemical munitions. Rocks, chairs, water bottles in return.

LAPD is blocking traffic to the area.
