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.

I went into Chinatown before closing and asked if any shops had leftover food they’d be willing to discount if I bought what was left. Little by little, one yes turned into another - and by the end, I brought trays of Chinese food, bakery items, and desserts back to feed people on the streets of San Francisco’s Tenderloin.
What started as a quiet ask became more than I expected. Not just food, but small moments of kindness, people remembering what was brought before, and care continuing even after the meal was over.
This mission is never only about food.
It’s about presence.
It’s about returning.
It’s about carrying what you can, and meeting people where they are with dignity, compassion, and care. 05/17/2026 by ♭♫

How a racist law accidentally created Chinese food in America 05/17/2026 by ♭♫
[+-]Changing the rules of the game that they created as the game is being played shows how corrupt and desperate the Communist Democratic Party regime of California is. Gavin Newsome as President of the United States does not solve problems but creates problems like Keir Starmer has done for UK.

Yesterday at his May Revise budget press conference, Newsom accidentally admitted he has a “break the glass scenario” — a SECRET plan to stop Republicans from winning the California governor’s race. He said it out loud. On camera. In front of every reporter in the room. 05/17/2026 by ♭♫

The Disturbing Reason Nobles in Ancient China Used White Face Powder
Quote

Among Chinese people, I've noticed there are basically 4 kinds of skin tones that they can be born with shades in-between.
There are those with porcelain white skin (the kind that Geisha's model themselves after with the white face powder).
There are those with light skin.
There are those with "honey"brown skin.
And there are those with dark brown skin.
My family & relatives are "honey" skinned Chinese. What I noticed is that those family member who have married Chinese wives with porcelain white skin end up having children with honey colored skin.
Has anyone noticed a genetic pattern specifically within their Chinese families if the children usually inherit the skin tone of their Chinese father regardless which skin tone the Chinese mother has?
(BTW, this question has nothing to do with race...it is strictly a skin tone question among Chinese.)

Turned away from the US, the six men were sent to Cuba. They soon found their way to the UK, where there was a shortage of sailors as many British sailors were enlisted in the army during World War One.
A few of the Chinese men married British women in the UK and had children. But an anti-immigrant policy forced them to depart the country without notice, leaving their loved ones behind.
"And it wasn't their fault. All of these families were really driven [apart] by politics, something they didn't really have any control over," Jones says.
Ah Lam was deported to Hong Kong, while Ling Hee boarded a steamboat heading for Kolkata (Calcutta) in India.
Lee Bing immigrated to Canada, while Fang Lang, after sailing between Britain and Hong Kong for years, became a citizen of the country that once rejected him - the US. 05/16/2026 by ♭♫

I asked people in San Francisco’s Tenderloin one simple question:
“What do you need most right now ?”
I thought I was asking about food.
But the answers were heavier than that.
Some said hot food.
Some said water.
Some said blankets.
Some said cash, a job, family, or friends.
After listening first, I went to Chinatown and ordered 50 bowls of brisket wonton noodle soup to bring back and share in the Tenderloin.
What happened after reminded me that this mission is not only about hunger.
It’s about listening.
It’s about presence.
It’s about carrying back what you can, even when some needs are heavier than one day can solve.
From Chinatown to the Tenderloin, every bowl was served with love and dignity.
And even in the middle of pain, I still witnessed something human and unforgettable. 05/13/2026 by ♭♫
