Many have passed away, and those who are still here are called “the elderly.” 許多人已經去世，那些仍然在這裡的人被稱為“老人”.
We were born in the 40s-50s-60s.
We grew up in the 50’s-60’s-70’s
We studied in the 60s-70s-80s.
We were together in the 70s-80s-90s.
We got married or not and discovered the world in the 70s-80s-90s.
Adventuring into the 80s – 90s
We’re settling in to the 2000s.
We became wiser in 2010s.
And we’re going strong into 2020 and beyond.
Turns out we went through EIGHT different decades…
TWO different centuries…
TWO different millennials…
We’ve gone from phone with operator for long distance calls, pay booths, video calls worldwide.
We’ve gone from slides to YouTube, vinyls to online music, handwritten letters to emails and Whats App.
Live games on the radio, black and white TV, color TV, then HD 3D TV.
We went to the video store and now watching Netflix.
We’ve known the first computers, punch cards, disks and now we have gigabytes and megabytes on our smartphones.
We wore shorts all through our childhood, then trousers, ep pants or mini-skirts, Oxfords, Clarks, Palestinian scarves, jumpsuits, and blue jeans.
We avoided childhood paralysis, meningitis, poliomyelitis, tuberculosis, swine flu and now COVID-19.
We’ve done roller skating, roller skating, tricycle, bicycle, moped, gasoline or diesel and now we drive hybrids or electric.
We played with the little ones, horses and checkers, ostrich and marbles, 1000 threshold and monopoly, now there’s candy crush on our smartphones
And we read…much
And our schoolmates religion was not a subject…
We used to drink tap water and lemonade in glass bottles, and the vegetables on our plate were always fresh, today we get meals delivered
Yes, we have been through a lot but what a beautiful life we have had!
They might describe us as “ex-annuals”; people who were born in this 50s world, who had an analog childhood and digital adulthood.
We should add the Biological Revolution that we have witnessed. In 1960, biology was very descriptive. We have witnessed the event of Molecular Biology: the molecules of Life have been discovered: DNA, RNA etc. When you see everything that has come from it: gene therapy, gene fingerprints, and others the progress is considerable.
We kind of have “seen it all”!
Our generation has literally lived and witnessed more than any other in every dimension of life.
This is our generation that has literally adapted to “CHANGE”.
A big congratulations to all the members of a very special generation, which will be UNIQUE.. “

China is quietly building a fleet of warships that not only sail smart, they think smart, especially when they’re in action. These vessels are more than heavily armed platforms. They’re part of a strategic revolution. They no longer rely on vulnerable, foreign-controlled systems like GPS. Instead, they operate with quantum navigation, AI battle networks, and autonomous decision-making frameworks, and that’s what’s keeping U.S. defense planners awake at night.
Today, we’re diving into something that may sound like it belongs in a sci-fi novel… but it’s already being tested on China’s open seas. This is the rise of AI-powered, quantum-navigated warships, a game-changing fusion of advanced physics and machine intelligence that could render traditional naval tactics obsolete.
One of the best Roast Goose Leg set lunch for US$15 in HK, no tax no tip. You cannot get it even if you want to pay 5x more in US, you simply cannot get it, we tried and taste terrible! 香港最好吃的烤鵝腿套餐之一，15美元一份，不含稅，不含小費。在美國就算你願意花5倍的價錢也吃不到，我們曾經試過了，味道糟透.

Video: Morning trip from Tsingyi to Wanchai via MTR to have lunch at the Renaissance Hotel (HK Convention Center in Wanchai) Let’s take a look how does it compares to SF BART. SF BART cost 25x more than HK (HK average annual salary is US$42,000, does people in SF makes 25x more than people in HK?) is it worth paying so much more in SF? 早上由青衣搭乘港鐵前往灣仔，在萬麗酒店（灣仔香港會議中心）享用午餐. 讓我們來看看它和舊金山灣區捷運相比怎麼樣。舊金山灣區捷運的價格是香港捷運的25倍價錢 (香港平均年薪為 42,000 美元，舊金山人的收入是否比香港人高 25 倍呢?) 看看我們是否值得在舊金山花這麼多錢?

A good friend for 30 years in SF asked me about the China trip and how am I enjoying Hong Kong. He was from HK. This is my reply. 一位在舊金山生活我認識了30年的好友問我中國之行的感受，以及在香港的感受。他也是來自香港。以下是我的回覆:
HK and China is safe. At our age, safety is our #1 concern. HK is safe after passing the National Security Law. In US, we are afraid to leave home after dark! Our home has become our own prison. Going to public park after dark or early morning is out of the question unless you are prepared to get robbed, beaten up if you are Asian and worst death. Walking in the Tsingyi park in HK next to our home, safety never came to anyone’s mind and we take it for granted. I lives in US for 52 years, never have I seen so many giving up their US citizenship. Those that are giving up tends to be young, educated or rich, not the blue collar workers. Today I am having lunch with my client for 42 years. Her daughter born in US at age 26, a smart girl with a Ph.D in science and technology has successfully given up her US citizenship in March this year. The girl throw a big party to celebrate. It is unheard of 20 years ago. Her mom ask her to join us for lunch in April to meet Carmen. There is absolutely no future for smart Chinese in America. I don’t consider myself smart, even not so smart Johnson is trying very hard to leave US. The moment I stepped out the plane in HK. You can breathe freedom and safety not available in the United States.
