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.

Their far-left policies have been destroying our Chinatown Communities for decades and now these politicians have been exposed in a conspiracy in silencing those who have caught them with their pants down.

Here is the truth about the "radicalized": right now a small group of Americans have become and are becoming radicalized.
This is a major problem, heres why:
Say 1% of the US is "radicalized" that is ~3 million people. 0.5% is 1.5 million, 0.1% is 300,000 people. You currently have a large army of people who want to kill their “opposition”

When Socialist-Democrats decriminalized theft in California, thieves were embolden to steal more things causing many retailers to leave California. When California became a sanctuary state, illegal migrants from all over were incentivized to go to California and exploit social welfare and health programs that are bankrupting the state so the state needs to increase taxes to pay for people who aren't legally allowed to work but are taken care of by state programs that should take care of our homeless people first. If the "Stop Nick Shirley Act" is passed, that will embolden more criminals to set up shop in California and commit more fraud against the Federal government. This is how the Democratic party evolved into a socialist party and then into a communist party. Anyone who escaped Red China can see through how the Democratic party has been hijacked by socialist communists.

The "Stop Nick Shirley Act" literally sounds like it was authored by the CCP. Mr. President, please send your federal auditors to investigate all the politicians pushing to pass this legislation especially our state attorney general and his wife. Corruption and protecting criminals now defines the Democratic Party.

Exposing California's corrupt "Stop Nick Shirley Act", instead of going after the fraudsters California is now going after the people exposing the fraud.

Kolkata’s historic Chinatown, once home to a thriving Chinese-Indian community, is now witnessing a steady decline. From thousands in the 1960s to just a few remaining today, migration and economic disruptions have reshaped the neighbourhood.The closure of Tangra’s tanneries and the impact of the 1962 war marked major turning points, forcing many families to move abroad. While cultural landmarks like the Chinese Kalibari and Shing Yin temple still stand, the community continues to shrink.This election season has added fresh concerns, with hundreds of Chinese-Indian names deleted from voter rolls. Locals also point to poor infrastructure, school closures and rising real estate pressure.This ground report explores how one of Kolkata’s oldest migrant communities is struggling to hold on — and what it means for the city’s identity. 04/27/2026 by ♭♫

Getting fired sucks, and there are plenty of Cantonese euphemisms to hide the shame. There’s the famous 炒魷魚 (caau2 jau4 jyu4, stir-fried squid), alluding to the rolled up mattress and bedding live-in employees take with them which looks like pieces of stir-fried squid rolled up in the heat of the wok; there’s also 收大信封 (sau1 daai6 seon3 fung1, receiving a large envelope), referring to the letter of termination issued to employees. But being given a piece of heartless chicken came from the especially sucky kind of getting fired right at the end of the lunar year, when everyone else’s celebrating the year’s hard work, collecting yearly bonuses, and looking forward to all the festivities that come with the Lunar New Year. 04/25/2026 by ♭♫

Elwin’s family story is a quintessential first-wave immigrant Chinese Canadian one. His deep family roots run parallel to the history of the Chinese in Canada: railroad construction, head tax, 1923 Exclusion Act, “Paper Sons”, even with an indentured servant girl (mui tsai 妹仔) within the narrative. The multi-generational family did sustenance labour to survive in Canada, including work in Hastings Sawmill, laundry, diners, restaurants, and waste disposal. 04/23/2026 by ♭♫

Re: The rise and fall of Chinatown: The hidden history of displacement you were never told 04/23/2026 by ♭♫
[+-]We have historically seen this played out before all over the country from undesirable neighborhoods: wherever the ethnic-Chinese settle and establish a community the land values go up.

“Folks are nervous because they’ve already seen their property tax go up so much,” Tang said. “People in the community who have college degrees and a full-time job still can’t afford a home. They feel the gentrification pressure. ‘Can I stay in Bridgeport? Can I stay in Chinatown?’ Those are questions very real to them, and they’re seeing this threat coming in.” 04/23/2026 by ♭♫

Compared to K-pop and J-pop which has been making influence worldwide lately, C-pop (Chinese pop music 華語歌曲) seems to be lacking impact on the international stage. Moreover, many netizens from the Chinese-speaking sphere seem to share the opinion that C-pop has fallen.
In this video, I explore the factors that led to the downfall of C-pop from its golden era of mid 2000s to the current time being. I argue that idol stan culture and the rise of TikTok contributed greatly to C-pop's decline.
