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.

This mission is never only about food.
It’s about presence.
It’s about returning.
It’s about carrying back what you can, even when you can’t meet every need. 04/28/2026 by ♭♫

How Chinese Food Changed Forever in Malaysia's Tin Mines 04/28/2026 by ♭♫

Between 1876 and 1902, six different groups of Chinese immigrants- all arriving for their own reasons and following their own paths- blended in Malaysia, creating an entire culinary culture that would sweep across the continent and change food forever. Ever since a chance encounter with a bizarre culinary culture, on a trip to Phuket in 2024, OTR has been descending down a rabbit hole unlike any other in food history. This is that story. 04/28/2026 by ♭♫

Cultural Revolution Survivor: Wokeism Is "Totalitarian'
[youtu.be]
I sat down with anti-communist author Xi Van Fleet to learn about her upbringing under Mao’s Cultural Revolution and her concerns for the trajectory of America. Immigrating from China 40 years ago, she is a blunt critic of modern progressivism and sheds light on the pervasive Marxist influences in our politics, culture, and language—even among conservatives. Xi got involved in public advocacy following the explosion of leftist chaos during the 2020 BLM protests, recognizing echoes of the Red Guard reign of terror that dominated her childhood. An enthusiastic proponent of American values, she offers a stark warning against the communist ideology animating politicians like Zohran Mamdani.

Xi Van Fleet
About the Author
Xi Van Fleet was born in China, lived through the Cultural Revolution, and was sent to work in the countryside at the age of 16. After Mao’s death, she was able to go to college to study English and has lived in the United States since 1986. In 2021, she delivered a school board speech in Loudoun County, Virginia, against Critical Race Theory that went viral and ignited national media attention. She now devotes her time and energy full time to warning about the dangers of communism. Since going public with her message, Xi Van Fleet has appeared on Fox News, Newsmax, and radio shows and podcasts across the country. She is the author of Mao’s America.

Hmmm....I wonder if she's heard of Greta Van Fleet.
Wikipedia entry for 'Greta Van Fleet'A lot of people say they sound Led Zeppelin. To me they sound more like Guns 'N' Roses.

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 ♭♫
