Early signs of World War 3 ?



It all started with a self-immolation of a 26 year old fruit and vegetables street vendor at Tunisia due to harassment and humiliation from the local authorities.

Uprising began at Tunisia. Followed by Oman, Yemen, Egypt, Morocco, Iraq, Bahrain, and the recent ongoing war at Libya which took more than 10,000 lives.

Not to mention other minor protest and middle-ranged riots from Algeria, Lebanon, Jordan, Mauritania, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Djibouti, Iran, Kuwait and Western Sahara.

A total of about 19 countries (probably more) involved in this 2010-2011 Middle East and North Africa protests. Bringing up to thousands of dead bodies and leaving millions, depressed, devastated and traumatized; by the loss of family and friends.

Most of it were due to poorly managed and corrupted government...

So, who's next?

Are these early signs of World War 3 predicted by Nostradamus ?

I do not know with what weapons World War 3 will be fought, but World War 4 will be fought with sticks and stones - by Albert Einstein

Hokkien Lang - Survives 2,000 years


Found this interesting facts circulating in the Facebook recently.

Do you know that Hokkien is the Ancient Imperial Language of China - 2,000 Years Ago?!!

Hokkien is:

1. The surviving language of the Tang Dynasty (618-907AD), China's Golden Age of Culture.

Note: The Hokkien we hear today may have "evolved" from its original form 2,000 years ago, but it still retains the main elements of the Tang Dynasty Language.

2. Hokkiens are the surviving descendants of the Tang Dynasty -- When the Tang Dynasty collapsed, the people of the Tang Dynasty fled South and sought refuge in the Hokkien (Fujian ) province. Hence, Hokkien called themselves Tng-lang (Tang Ren or People of the Tang Dynasty) instead of Hua Lang (Hua Ren).

3. Hokkien has 8 tones instead of Mandarin's 4. Linguists claim that ancient languages tend to have more complex tones.

4. Hokkien retains the ancient Chinese pronunciation of "K-sounding" endings (for instance, Hak Seng (student), Tua Ok (university), Thak Chek (read a book/study) -- the "k" sounding ending is not found in Mandarin.

5. The collection of the famous "Three Hundred Tang Dynasty Poems" (Tang Shi) sound better when recited in Hokkien/Teochew if compared to Mandarin.

6. Consider this for a moment: Today, the Hokkien Nam Yim Ochestral performance still has its roots in ancient Tang dynasty music. Here's the proof: The formation of today Nam Yim ensemble is typically seen in ancient Tang dynasty paintings of musicians.

7. Although not genetically-related, Hokkiens, Koreans and Japanese share many similar words (which are different from Mandarin).

That's because Hokkien was the official language of the powerful Tang Dynasty whose influence and language spread to Japan and Korea (just like Latin – where many words were borrowed by the English, French, Italian, etc).

To all 49 Million Hokkien Speakers:

Be Proud of Your Ancient Hokkien Heritage Language! Speak it Loud and Clear. Teach Your Future Generation this Imperial Language, Less it Fades Away. Be Proud Children of the Tang Emperors.

To all Mandarin-speaking friends out there -- do not look down on your other Chinese friends who do not speak Mandarin – whom you guys fondly refer to as "Bananas". In fact, they are speaking a language which is much more ancient linguistically complicated than Mandarin.

Keep in mind that Mandarin is just:

1. A Northern Chinese dialect (heavily influenced by non Han Chinese) that was elevated to the status of National Language by Sun Yat Sen for the sake of China’s national unity.

2. Mandarin was never spoken by your proud, imperial Tang Dynasty ancestors. It was probably spoken by the Northern (Non-Han) Jurchen, Mongols and Manchu minority. Start speaking the language of your ancestors today.
