China's 56 nationalities
“這是有關中華56個民族的‘全家福’。”攝影家陳海汶說,他所指的“全家福”是近日已經出版的大型圖文出版物《和諧中華——中國56個民族剪影》,該書是由陳海汶帶領的14位攝影師組成的專業攝影創作團隊歷時一年,縱橫10萬公里,深入我國56個民族的主要聚居地考察、采訪,拍攝了5.7萬多張照片後,輔以文字說明,編排而成的。每個民族的剪影都以“全家福”的形式呈現。

Missionaries = Destruction

Monks and novices collecting alms on horseback, Mae Chan, Chiang Rai, Thailand

The Asia Times has highlighted a serious development underway in Thailand and the rest of mainland Southeast Asia: the conversion “heathen” tribes to Christianity.

It seems many of these missionaries are agents for Christian fundamentalist groups, especially from the US, who are competing to expand by converting more people, which means they can garner more donations and hence convert more people. . . .

Accounts of sex abuse and fraud are widespread, as are the documented cases of “missionaries . . . destroying traditional cultures and societies, exploiting highlanders’ ignorance and spurring conflict”.

This is an important article to study!
