"Iċ-Ċina minħabba vlogger b'xejn li ffilmja l-illokkjar ta 'Wuhan
Ġurnalista ċittadina Ċiniża li kienet il-ħabs talli kopriet l-ewwel jiem tal-pandemija tal-Covid-19 mill-epiċentru tagħha f’Wuhan kienet skedata biex tinħeles nhar it-Tnejn wara li tiskonta sentenza ta’ erba’ snin, skont il-partitarji tagħha.
Iżda nhar it-Tlieta ma kienx ċar jekk Zhan Zhang kinitx inħelset u l-gruppi tad-drittijiet qalu li l-awtoritajiet kienu mistennija li jagħtu l-inqas informazzjoni possibbli dwar l-istatus tagħha.
L-eks avukat ta’ 40 sena huwa wieħed minn diversi attivisti li kellhom problemi mal-awtoritajiet Ċiniżi għar-rappurtar tagħhom dwar il-Covid-19. Xi wħud ġew arrestati filwaqt li oħrajn għebu.
Hija nstabet ħatja li “picking quarrels u pprovokat inkwiet”, akkuża frekwenti kontra attivisti fiċ-Ċina.
L-għassies tal-midja u l-gruppi tad-drittijiet tal-bniedem kienu qalu li s-Sinjura Zhang ġiet imħarrka b'mod żbaljat. Huma kienu talbu għall-ħelsien tagħha minħabba s-saħħa tagħha li qed tmur għall-agħar.
Hemm ""tħassib kbir"" dwar is-sigurtà tas-Sinjura Zhang wara li tkun rilaxxata, qalet l-uffiċjal tal-promozzjoni ta' Reporters Without Borders Aleksandra Bielakowska.
""Fiċ-Ċina, il-ġurnalisti miżmuma għax-xogħol tagħhom ħafna drabi jibqgħu taħt detenzjoni jew sorveljanza anke meta jispiċċaw it-termini tal-ħabs tagħhom,"" qalet.
""Onestament naħseb li dalwaqt ikollna l-ebda aġġornamenti. Probabbilment se jippruvaw iżommuha f'post sigriet, jew iżommuha 'l bogħod mill-vista tal-għajnejn għal xi żmien,"" qalet.
Wieħed mill-avukati tas-Sinjura Zhang qal lill-BBC Ċiniż li ""il-libertà personali tagħha xorta se tkun ristretta"", u żiedet li issa se tgħix mal-ġenituri tagħha f'Shanghai.
Mill-bażi tagħha f'Shanghai, is-Sinjura Zhang vjaġġat lejn Wuhan fi Frar 2020 biex tiddokumenta dak li rat fit-toroq u fl-isptarijiet.
Il-livestreams u l-esejs tagħha dehru ħafna fuq il-midja soċjali, u kompliet tipproduċihom minkejja t-theddid mill-awtoritajiet.
Waħda mill-klipps livestreamed tagħha wriet kif żammet il-kamera tagħha għaddejja waqt li uffiċjal wissieha biex “tieqaf tiffilmja jew [hu] jiġġenen”.
""Forsi għandi ruħ ribelluża... qed niddokumenta l-verità biss. Għaliex ma nistax nuri l-verità?"" qalet f’intervista ma’ produttur indipendenti tal-films, li clip tiegħu nkiseb mill-BBC.
""Mhux se nieqaf dak li qed nagħmel, għax dan il-pajjiż ma jistax imur lura.""
Din kienet maħsuba li kienet l-aħħar intervista tagħha qabel ma nżammret.
Is-Sinjura Zhang kienet poġġiet aktar minn 100 vidjow fuq il-Kanal tal-YouTube tagħha, WeChat u Twitter, qabel ma ġiet irrappurtata nieqsa fl-14 ta’ Mejju 2020.
L-għada, l-awtoritajiet ħabbru li kienet miżmuma mill-pulizija f’Shanghai. Hija ġiet akkużata f’Novembru ta’ dik is-sena u ġiet ikkundannata x-xahar ta’ wara.

Zhang Zhan: Ir-'ruħ ribelluża' ħabs għall-iffilmjar ta' Wuhan
Is-Sinjura Zhang għamlet strajk tal-ġuħ fl-ewwel ftit xhur ta' detenzjoni, u l-avukat tagħha kien qal dak iż-żmien li kienet qed tiġi mitmugħa bil-forza minn tubu.
Hija baqgħet fuq strajk parzjali sa Lulju 2023, meta l-piż tagħha kien irrapportat niżel għal 37kg biss – nofs dak li kien qabel id-detenzjoni tagħha.
Hija kienet qed tbati wkoll minn malnutrizzjoni severa, mard gastrointestinali, u għadd baxx ta 'ċelluli bojod tad-demm, qalet RSF.
""Il-ġurnalista Zhang Zhan, li b'kuraġġ rriskjat ħajjitha billi infurmat lill-pubbliku dwar it-tifqigħa tal-Covid-19 f'Wuhan, tinsab f'riskju li tmut jekk ma tirċevix trattament mediku estensiv,"" qalet l-organizzazzjoni fi stqarrija f'Settembru tas-sena li għaddiet.
Is-sinifikat tal-każ tas-Sinjura Zhang se jistrieħ fuq dak li jiġri wara li tinħeles, qal Jerome Cohen, espert fil-liġi Ċiniża.
""Il-biċċa l-kbira tal-avukati tad-drittijiet tal-bniedem rilaxxati jinżammu kwieti permezz ta 'mezzi informali ta' soppressjoni. Xi wħud jippruvaw iħallu l-pajjiż u jirnexxilhom ikomplu jirrappurtaw dwar ksur tad-drittijiet tal-bniedem fiċ-Ċina iżda huma eċċezzjonijiet,"" qal Prof Cohen.
Avukat tas-Sinjura Zhang qalet li l-familja tagħha kienet ""spiss avviċinata"" mill-pulizija waqt id-detenzjoni tagħha, u ngħataw struzzjonijiet biex ma jiddiskutux il-każ ma 'oħrajn.

“Il-ġurnalisti taċ-ċittadini kienu l-uniku sors ta’ informazzjoni diretta u mhux iċċensurata dwar it-tifqigħa tal-Covid-19 fiċ-Ċina.
“Minħabba li jaħdmu indipendentement mill-midja kkontrollata mill-istat, il-ġurnalisti ċittadini jiffaċċjaw fastidju kostanti talli jesponu informazzjoni li l-gvern jippreferi jżomm kwiet,” qalet Amnesty International fi stqarrija.
Meta l-pandemija laqtet għall-ewwel darba fil-bidu tal-2020, l-internet Ċiniż - minkejja li kien iċċensurat ħafna - kien mgħarraq b'messaġġi li jiddeskrivu l-kopertura u l-fallimenti tal-gvern fis-sistema tal-kura tas-saħħa.
Iżda l-magna taċ-ċensura tal-istat irduppjat biex irażżan ir-rabja onlajn bla preċedent.
Diversi kanali kwieti, il-postijiet tħassru malajr u xi attivisti bħas-Sinjura Zhang irċevew twissijiet espliċiti mill-awtoritajiet.
Fost l-aktar magħrufa internazzjonalment kien hemm il-każ tat-tabib tal-whistleblower Li Wenliang, li kien ipprova jwissi lill-kollegi tiegħu dwar “virus bħal Sars”.
Dr Li miet fi Frar 2020 wara li kkuntratta Covid-19. Aktar tard ġie żvelat li kien ġie investigat talli “tfixkel l-ordni soċjali” billi “għamel kummenti foloz”. Il-mewt tiegħu qanqlet daqqa ta’ appoġġ fuq il-midja soċjali, iżda l-postijiet kienu perjodikament imqaxxra.
Il-Partit Komunista mela l-midja statali bi stejjer pożittivi dwar ir-rispons tiegħu għall-Covid-19. Fi Frar 2023, l-ogħla mexxejja tal-partit iddikjaraw ""rebħa"" fuq il-virus u ddeskrivew ir-rispons tal-gvern għal Covid-19 bħala ""miraklu"".

"中國出現了拍攝武漢封城的免費影片部落客
據一名中國公民記者的支持者稱，她因在疫情中心武漢報道Covid-19大流行初期而被監禁，預計在服完四年徒刑後於週一獲釋。
但周二還不清楚張展是否已被釋放，人權組織表示，預計當局將盡可能少提供有關她身分的資訊。
這位 40 歲的前律師是因報告 Covid-19 問題而遭到中國當局麻煩的幾位活動人士之一。有些人被拘留，有些人失蹤。
她被判犯有「尋薦滋事」罪，這是針對中國活動人士的常見指控。
媒體監督機構和人權組織曾表示，張女士受到了錯誤的起訴。由於她的健康狀況惡化，他們呼籲釋放她。
無國界記者組織的宣傳官員亞歷山大·別拉科斯卡 (Aleksandra Bielakowska) 表示，張女士獲釋後的安全受到「極大關注」。
她說：“在中國，因工作而被拘留的記者即使刑滿後仍常常受到拘留或監視。”
「老實說，我認為我們很快就不會有任何更新。他們可能會試圖將她拘留在秘密地點，或者讓她遠離視線一段時間，」她說。
張女士的一名律師告訴BBC中文版，她的“個人自由仍將受到限制”，並補充說她現在將與父母住在上海。
張女士於 2020 年 2 月從上海的基地出發前往武漢，記錄她在街頭和醫院看到的一切。
她的直播和文章在社交媒體上被廣泛觀看，儘管受到當局的威脅，她仍繼續創作它們。
她的一個直播片段展示了她如何保持相機滾動，而一名官員警告她「停止拍攝，否則[他會]生氣」。
“也許我有一顆叛逆的靈魂……我只是記錄真相，為什麼我不能展現真相呢？”她在接受一位獨立電影製片人的採訪時說道，英國廣播公司獲得了該採訪的片段。
“我不會停止我正在做的事情，因為這個國家不能倒退。”
這被認為是她被拘留前的最後一次採訪。
張女士於 2020 年 5 月 14 日被報告失踪之前，已在她的 YouTube 頻道、微信和 Twitter 上發布了 100 多個影片。
第二天，當局宣布她在上海被警方拘留。她於當年 11 月被指控，並於次月被判刑。
3:52
張展：「叛逆靈魂」因拍攝武漢而入獄
張女士在被拘留的頭幾個月絕食抗議，她的律師當時表示，她是透過管子強行灌食的。
她一直處於部分罷工狀態，直到 2023 年 7 月，據報道，當時她的體重驟降至僅 37 公斤——只有她被拘留之前的一半。
無國界醫生組織稱，她還患有嚴重營養不良、胃腸道疾病和白血球計數低。
該組織在去年9 月的聲明中表示：「記者張展勇敢地冒著生命危險，向公眾通報了武漢爆發的Covid-19 疫情，如果不接受廣泛的治療，她將面臨死亡的危險。 」
中國法律專家傑羅姆·科恩表示，張女士案件的重要性將取決於她獲釋後發生的情況。
「大多數被釋放的人權倡議者都透過非正式的鎮壓手段保持沉默。有些人試圖離開這個國家，並成功地繼續報導中國的侵犯人權行為，但他們是例外，」科恩教授說。
張女士的律師表示，在她被拘留期間，警方「經常聯繫」她的家人，並指示他們不要與他人討論此案。

「公民記者是有關中國 Covid-19 疫情的未經審查的第一手資訊的唯一來源。
國際特赦組織在一份聲明中表示：“由於公民記者的工作獨立於國家控制的媒體，因此他們因揭露政府寧願保持沉默的信息而面臨持續的騷擾。”
當疫情在 2020 年初首次爆發時，中國網路儘管受到嚴格審查，但仍充斥著描述政府掩蓋事實和醫療保健系統失敗的資訊。
但國家的審查機器加倍努力壓制前所未有的網路憤怒。
幾個頻道變得安靜，貼文被迅速刪除，像張女士這樣的一些活動人士收到了當局的明確警告。
國際上最知名的案例是吹哨人李文亮醫生的案例，他曾試圖警告他的同事有關「類似SARS的病毒」。
李醫師於 2020 年 2 月感染 Covid-19 後去世。後來有消息透露，他因“發表虛假言論”，“擾亂社會秩序”正在接受調查。他的去世在社交媒體上引發了大量支持，但這些帖子會定期被刪除。
共產黨在官方媒體上充斥著有關其應對 Covid-19 的積極報道。 2023 年 2 月，黨的最高領導人宣布戰勝了病毒，並將政府對 Covid-19 的應對描述為「奇蹟」。

Greetings pue-mans,
I've now had the chance to sample over 40 different puers (mostly shou) and dial in my preferred brewing style. I haven't taken notes, but I've noted some favourites and I'm becoming familiar with the qualities I like/dislike.
I'm in Canada and am putting together my next order now. At this point, I was hoping that with this information, I might solicit suggestions for both any potential "bang-for-buck favourite, buy 10 tongs" daily drinkers, and any that could fill gaps I've missed in my sampling.
In general, I like to brew fairly dark/strong, but just short of coffee-like. I'll typically use 10-12g in ~250ml of water off the boil in a yixing pot, quick rinse, then steeped for ~60-120 seconds increasing over the course of five or six steeps.
In general, I prefer shous that are thicc, smooth, pungent/musty, with a tiny bit of astringency on the tail, little-to-no bitterness, LOW caffeine (more relaxing than energetic), with some mildly interesting note(s)--not just muddy water--and a lingering "hui gan". So, you know, how they're all advertised.
I’m not good at naming flavours, but I’ve tended to like puer others have described with creamy, nutty (walnuts), earthy, dates, ginseng, petrichor, old books. Woody can be nice if there’s more to it (except for bamboo and camphor, the former dominates everything and the latter seems to be code for all aroma, no taste). Hit or miss on mushroom, mineral, barnyard, spice, and surprisingly, cacao. Negative on vegetal/herbal/grassy. I’m floral-curious, and drawn to the promise of stuff like plum and honey, but I think those are more sheng territory.
Here’s my list with some commentary.
 
FAVOURITES:
[Yunnan Sourcing]
2019 Menghai DaYi V93 Premium (Ripe)

• My current favourite daily drinker. Just can't go wrong, it ticks all the primary boxes for texture and and it has enough of a flavour to not be boring. It becomes weak and thin after ~3 of my murderous steeps, but that's fine by me as I'm usually tapping out around that amount, and I hate wasting potential steeps as it approaches noon. I can't drink puer after noon or it messes with my sleep.

2018 Yunnan Sourcing "Year of the Dog Blue Label" (Ripe)

• It's like the V93, just a little better in every way. But not 2X-price better, so not a contender for a replacement daily drinker.

1990 CNNP "9016" Aged (Ripe)

• I thought this one would knock my socks off, yet I was underwhelmed for the price. It's good, and has a quality I really like that I can't put my finger on (some kind of delicious lingering mustiness), but is also a little too thin from the first steep.

[San-Tea]
2005 “Muddy Lips” Jing Gu (Da Ye) (Ripe)

• This was my daily drinker for awhile. The price was right. Unfortunately, too boring. I need more depth.

1999 “Dirty Knees” Langhe (Ripe)

• Successor daily drinker to the above, much more interesting, yet finnicky to brew (easily becomes too bitter) and pricier.

[Crimson Lotus]
2021 Pasha Shan “Lao Cha Tou” (Ripe) & 2021 Pasha Shan (Ripe)

• Really great, outstanding flavour and ticked all of the most important boxes. Would be my current daily drinkers if I could afford it. (Grouped together because I couldn’t tell much of any difference between the two versions.)

2022 Night Shift (Ripe)

• Also great. The thing is, to brew it as dark as I like brings out a bit too much of a bitterness, off-note, and astringency.

[TREASURE GREEN]
2018 Xiaguan Tuo Cha (Ripe)

• Previous candidate for a daily drinker, until I found the V93.

2012 Bingdao Gu Shu (Ripe)

• Very good, in a different way from the rest of what I usually like, in that it has rich and complex flavours; texture is too thin to be a top favourite, yet I commend for what it is. If it weren’t so pricey I’d stock up for some variety in the rotation, and I think I could grow to appreciate it even more over time.

[SOFTER DRINK]
2020 Kuura Cola (Ripe)

• Seems almost exactly like the V93, while lasting for twice the steeps at twice the price. Not a feature for me, but deserves as honourable mention; I’d be curious to try more Kuura stuff.

I grew up in a Chinese family that practiced Falun Gong (AKA Falun Dafa) because my dad was a staunch believer and active member. I’m currently grown up and am in my mid-20s. I go to school (in a STEM-related advanced degree program) and live away from family. I identify as agnostic. I am also a queer woman.
As a kid, I went to a lot of the events that Falun Dafa sponsored, such as public protests in Washington DC against the supposed organ-harvesting by the CCP, day-long “Fa” conferences where practitioners would speak of the way that “God” (read: cult founder Li Hongzhi) and practicing Falun Gong changed their lives and cured them of terminal illnesses, etc. My dad spends a lot of his free time volunteering for them. Their entire labor force (the ones who advertise flyers for Shen Yun and do door-to-door flier deliveries) are volunteers, a testament to how deeply some of the members truly believe in it.
The cult itself has a mostly peaceful belief system that draws from a lot of Christian, Buddhist, and Hindu teachings. However, there are aspects that are bigoted and sometimes actively harmful. The most notable of these are the belief that homosexuality or queerness is a sin, and that mixed-race people don’t belong to any heaven since “humans were created in the image of god” and all “original gods” are discrete races with their own respective race-segregated heavens. They also think that modern medicine is harmful and that you shouldn’t need it if you truly practice Falun Dafa, since sickness is caused by having sin, and you can shed these sins by being a “good” (subjective) person.
There is a lot of emphasis on dharma and reaching enlightenment in the cult/religion/belief system, with the 3 core tenets of the belief system being truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance (and there is a lot of hypocrisy here on the tolerance part.) There is also an element of Scientology. They believe that aliens gave technology to mankind. They also believe in the existence of “other dimensions” that you can’t see, and that all human beings were originally divine beings who fell from grace, and thus can only return to heaven/enlightenment by practicing Falun Dafa, which they deem as the One True Religion. Based on this, they spend a lot of time and resources trying to convert people to Falun Dafa through dance showcases like Shen Yun. Like other religions, there is a duty to spread it to “save humanity from its own destruction.” They believe that modern society has become so corrupt that some point soon, Earth will be wiped out, biblical plague style.
In recent years, they have become very far-right, and for the most part, they love Trump. I attribute this to many of their core beliefs aligning very heavily with Christian conservatism, such as a lack of tolerance for diverse identities, a lack of trust in modern medicine and technology, and a deep vitriol for communism, specifically the Chinese Communist Party. Most members are Chinese immigrants who left communist China and have extremely negative views of the country and the government.
I see a lot of misinformation on the internet about Falun Dafa. People think it’s a violent and psychotic cult that you can’t leave, which isn’t the case. They do have a pretty heavily-protected/secluded compound in NY, which my dad helped with the construction years ago. But you can leave Falun Dafa if you want to. Like I said, people are peaceful on the surface (if you ignore their problematic views) and non-violent for the most part, except with a very strong “holier than thou” attitude. I still struggle with reconciling my queer identity with my desire to have a good relationship with my dad, and I have not come out to him. He was a good dad to me growing up and gave me a lot of love, but he’s expressed his clear disapproval for gay and trans people, and is sometimes actively racist (although this is quite common within conservative Chinese households, which makes me quite sad.)
Anyways. I’m rambling at this point. AMA.
TLDR; I grew up in Falun Dafa. It’s a messy situation but there’s a lot of misinformation about it on the internet. AMA.

Abstract

Decreased levels of β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), a lipid metabolic intermediate known to slow the progression of colorectal cancer (CRC), have been observed in the colon mucosa of patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). In particular, patients with recurrent IBD present an increased risk of developing colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CAC). The role and molecular mechanism of BHB in the inflammatory and carcinogenic process of CAC remains unclear. Here, the anti-tumor effect of BHB was investigated in the (Azoxymethane) AOM /(Dextran Sulfate Sodium) DSS-induced CAC model and tumor organoids derivatives. The underlying mechanisms were studied using transcriptome and non-target metabolomic assay and further validated in colon tumor cell lineage CT26 in vitro. The tumor tissues and the nearby non-malignant tissues from colon cancer patients were collected to measure the expression levels of ketogenic enzymes. The exogenous BHB supplement lightened tumor burden and angiogenesis in the CAC model. Notably, transcriptome analysis revealed that BHB effectively decreased the expression of VEGFA in the CAC tumor mucosa. In vitro, BHB directly reduced VEGFA expression in hypoxic-treated CT26 cells by targeting transcriptional factor HIF-1α. Conversely, the deletion of HIF-1α largely reversed the inhibitory effect of BHB on CAC tumorigenesis. Additionally, decreased expression of ketogenesis-related enzymes in tumor tissues were associated with poor survival outcomes in patients with colon cancer. In summary, BHB carries out anti-angiogenic activity in CAC by regulating HIF-1α/VEGFA signaling. These findings emphasize the role of BHB in CAC and may provide novel perspectives for the prevention and treatment of colonic tumors.

1- Meng Fei in 1997
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liLwdDIWgYY
She was one of those gymnasts who could do classical choreography and make it look great and flowy.
2- Jiang Yuyuan 2008-2010
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kq7zX3VFu9M
I love Cheng Fei's floor, but this choreography was my favorite from the whole games. Even in 2007 or 2011, she always had a sparkle on floor exercise.
3- Kui Yuanyuan 1996
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uXYlf5qniw
From the number of tumbling passes, you'd think this routine is from 2008, but it was from 1996! Her choreography was lovely, she did difficult tumbling with great form.
4- Yang Yun 2000
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjUvYbT67iE
Her choreography was so fluid. Even though she had 4 tumbling passes and dance combinations, you don't feel like she's rushing.
5- Zhang Nan 2004
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxHB2CDT58Q
The music went quite well with her style.

And are the dramas of these actors idol-dramas? And what actors are idols? I'm very confused with this topic.

To avoid prosecution the ancestor fled to Munhwa and changed his surname first to that of his maternal grandmother Yang and then to Yu. Many years later Yu Ch’a Tal assisted Wang Kŏn to establish the Koryŏ Kingdom. Ch’a was recognized for his support and was rewarded accordingly. Ch’a's eldest son began again to use the Ch’a surname but his younger son continued to use Yu. The Munhwa Yu clan along with the Andong Kwŏn clan possesses one of the oldest extant clan genealogies in Korea.
