What's New?
23rd August
Well time has flown and lots has happened with my life.
I am now a
proud father and as such site updates have been impacted I'm afraid!
CantoDict is still going strong though and I hope to find time for some useful updates soon.
On a less positive note, we are currently undergoing a spam attack, so please bear with us while we
try and deal with this.

Are there any others in Hong Kong working towards a revival of Cantonese spirit?
“We work closely with Magnolia Lab, who are crafting unique liqueurs that align perfectly with our vision at Kinsman and have plans in the works to create some custom bottlings of our own with them.
“We also source snake wine, a very traditional spirit found across Asian cultures, from Ser Wong Fun, a neighbouring snake restaurant that has been in operation for over a century.” 20:31 by ♭♫

One of Canada's oldest and once-shuttered Cantonese language schools is back by popular demand.
Vancouver's Mon Keang School closed its doors in 2011 due to low enrolment, but its directors say renewed interest in the language allowed them to reopen their doors to adult learning this fall.
"There is a growing desire for people to either learn or reconnect with their Cantonese heritage," said Aynsley Wong, one of the directors of the Wong's Benevolent Association, which runs the school.
"[We are] really excited to have students back in the building, to have these classrooms full. And our elders here at the Wongs Association were incredibly excited to have the vibrancy to hear the students walking up the stairs."
"Many of them, they choose to learn Cantonese just because, oh, that this has more personal meaning and connection to me." 02:47 by ♭♫

In this fourth installment of our six-part series on mysteries from the Chinese-Canadian community, we take a look at three alleged ancient Chinese voyages to Canada, from the semi-mythical journey of Buddhist monk Hui Shen to the land of Fusang, to the treasure voyages of the great Chinese admiral Zheng He in the late Middle Ages. 11/19/2024 by qwe188
