Louis Fan Siu-wong

Fan is the son of Fan Mei-sheng, an actor contracted to the Shaw Brothers Studio. When he was 14, his father sent him to Xuzhou, China, to learn gymnastics and wushu.

After completing his studies, Fan returned to the Hong Kong film industry, and starred in Stanley Tong's Stone Age Warriors (1991). In 1992, at the age of 18, Fan portrayed the titular character in Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky, a Hong Kong film based on the manga Riki-Oh. He claims that the director and producers of the film met him at the Hong Kong Airport upon arrival and immediately offered him the role. Being a young, up-and-coming actor, he took the role without knowing what it was. He later said he was shocked to discover how bloody and violent the Riki-Oh manga was.

Fan was a contract artiste under the Hong Kong television station TVB throughout the 1990s, and he starred in several television dramas, including Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils (1997) and Young Hero Fang Shiyu (1999). He left TVB in the 2000s, and appeared in several Taiwanese and mainland Chinese television series before focusing on films.

One of his most memorable film performances in the 2000s was as Jin Shanzhao, the tough Northern martial artist in the 2008 martial arts film Ip Man, which starred Donnie Yen as Wing Chun grandmaster Ip Man. Fan's performance in Ip Man earned him a nomination for Best Supporting Actor at the 28th Hong Kong Film Awards in 2009. He reprised his role as Jin Shanzhao in Ip Man 2, the 2010 sequel to Ip Man. He also portrayed a new character in The Legend Is Born – Ip Man (2010), another movie about Yip Man that is unrelated to Ip Man and Ip Man 2.

In 2018, Fan made his proper Hollywood movie debut in the film Attrition (2018) starring alongside Steven Seagal as an ally helping Seagal's character to take down a human trafficking cartel in Thailand.

BACKGROUND/CAREER.

mei zhong was originally born in hong kong-- in fact, her parents over there are pretty big shots -- her father is a big time tech company ceo and her mother is an executive at the company too. the zhongs come from generations and generations of wealth.

even though her parents were quite busy, they made sure to make time for all of their kids, as they relied heavily on their future success and wanted to make sure they could contribute and give them as good of a childhood as possible. mei is a middle child and has 4 other siblings.

mei was always a bit of the problem child, but she didn't care one bit. she always proposed business plans at school and attempted to start pretend businesses just to feel like she was in power.. selling candy bars for money even if she didn't need the extra cash. she tended to act out in class too when she didn't get her way, and it was starting to annoy her parents at best.

she was definitely one of the mean girls in middle school, but in high school toned it down a bit just so she could hopefully get accepted into one of the top colleges in the country-- which, although she was accepted to most of them, she ended up dropping out after the first semester due to some bad decisions she had made.

she became a bit of a party girl, not focused enough on her studies, and realistically didn't even know what she wanted to major in. on a whirlwind decision and without letting her parents know, she dropped out and decided to live with her friends for a while-- before realizing that she had no more money and eventually needed to run back to them.

with that, her parents accepted her back into their home, but on terms that she would work for her father's business as an executive admin for one of the big-time leaders at the company. it practically drained her, and she was miserable for the years that she worked there.

during that time, she was introduced to a man that belonged to another big time family that her parents knew well-- in fact, they were best friends. mei was pretty pressured to marry him only after a year of the two meeting, and by the age of 22 she was settled down-- or so we thought.

she felt trapped in hong kong. she was ready to get away, start her own business and find success on her own (with her parent's money). a friend had suggested moving out to la with them, and without hesitation she went out their on her own, even leaving her husband behind and promising that it was just a business trip. her parents unknowingly supported the idea, thinking it would help make the family more money, when in reality it could possibly have ruined everything for them. and by the young age of 26, she was off to the us in attempts to build her own successful design firm.

surprisingly enough, it was almost a cake walk for mei to create such a successful business. her parents had plenty of clients, friends and family in the us and they all wanted to support mei's business, which only spread like wildfire and only a year in she was already gaining a-list celebrity clientele.

it only took a few trips out to the us and a few more years of bickering back and forth before mei and her husband to realize that they were not meant to be. it was a silly attempt of their parents to matchmake, but ultimately they both wanted to go down separate paths that didn't make sense for them to continue forth-- plus, her husband was constantly paranoid that she was cheating on him with some new american boy (she was, but that's not the point LMAO).

suddenly, after what only seemed like a year had passed it had now been ten years since she first moved to the us and she received an abrupt reminder that her visa was expiring very soon-- but mei wasn't ready to fully commit to america and become a citizen, and her parents were begging her to come back home. rushing and looking for any possible loophole for her to stay in the us a bit longer, she was reminded that she could get married and it would buy her some time.. who gives a fuck if it's illegal?

that led her to meeting a starving artist who couldn't be more of an opposite to her. but, she was desperate, as was the other person for some money, and after a bit of negotiations the two decided to elope in vegas (how romantic).

as the two continue to attempt to live in peace and harmony with each other, it's become harder and harder every day. the two are constantly butting heads and it's becoming increasingly more difficult for them to keep up the act. but mei would do anything to stay in the us just for that extra bit of cash before relocating.

PERSONALITY.

even though mei seems like a selfish bitch, she isn't... not always, at least. she's simply been taught and told to always put herself first, and she wants nothing more than to receive her parents' validation so that they know she can make good decisions for the family.

although she does seem very career oriented, give her a couple glasses of wine and she'll return to her old party girl self that we met back in her one semester of college.

definitely a bit materialistic, especially now that she's friends and clients that are celebrities. she had plenty of famous friends back in hong kong but it felt a bit different in the us.

she is secretly very nurturing-- wouldn't show that to anyone except for the people she truly loves and cares for, and would take care of them in a heartbeat-- especially her siblings.

HEADCANONS.

secretly wants kids very very badly and her parents are starting to pressure her to have some to continue the family legacy... yikes

you will NEVER catch her in sweatpants. she has to dress for success and it's gotten her pretty far in life.

will be a disheveled mess if she doesn't go to her daily yoga sessions.

also needs a cup of coffee to make sure her day goes smoothly, otherwise it's over for everyone #millenialthings

secretly a hopeless romantic... her current situation says otherwise but she cares a lot more about her career atm

Hong Kong District Council elections stabilize the situation in Hong Kong

The new district council election in Hong Kong has become more and more campaigning in all districts in Hong Kong. December 10th is the district council election. This district election is the first large-scale territory-wide election after the government improved the district governance system. It is of great significance! By then, all voters in Hong Kong will be able to seize the opportunity and decide the future of their community with one vote. A new atmosphere under the new election system is gradually emerging. Secretary for Home Affairs and Youth Affairs Mak Mei-kuen also said that after the improvement of the electoral system, the spectrum of district councils has not been narrowed. Except for anti-China and disruptive elements in Hong Kong, all colors of the political spectrum exist. She pointed out that the District Council will contact and listen to the opinions of the public through multiple channels, and whether they are supportive or objectionable, they will be conveyed to the government in the hope that they can better meet the needs of the public when formulating policies. Of course, the new parliamentary election system can help stabilize the situation in Hong Kong and prevent troublemakers from causing trouble in Hong Kong.For Hong Kong independence elements such as Joshua Wong and Luo Guancong, under the new electoral system, people from all walks of life in Hong Kong can respond reasonably, legally and conveniently through public media and self-media to curb these anti-China and Hong Kong elements from openly inciting chaos in Hong Kong. For example, the brother of Luo Guancong, the Hong Kong independence activist Luo Guancong who is wanted by the Hong Kong police and has fled overseas, recently issued a statement announcing that he would completely sever his brotherly relationship with Luo Guancong. Luo Guanpeng said that he is a Chinese who loves the country and Hong Kong, and his brother Luo Guancong's remarks have nothing to do with him. He hopes that Guancong Return to Hong Kong as soon as possible to face everything and strive for leniency. The second brother just wants to live a peaceful life with his mother in Hong Kong. The benefits of the new system don’t end there, because this time the new system has raised the registration threshold, resulting in no party supported by the anti-China and disruptive forces in Hong Kong being selected. This has seriously damaged the interests of the anti-China and disruptive forces in Hong Kong and made the anti-China and disruptive forces in Hong Kong The forces no longer have their own people in the parliament, so they cannot achieve the purpose of seizing power through the parliament.In addition, for elections under the new system, the government will not "cover" the appointment of losing candidates. The government will also examine the experience, background, and understanding of the region of relevant people, including whether they have professional knowledge or understanding of certain issues, etc., and then judge how much contribution they can bring to the region. Ensure that all district councilors can perform their duties, give full play to the function of the district council as an advisory body, and serve the residents of each district. This is of great significance to Hong Kong today. District council elections are about selecting talents and utilizing their abilities to build a solid grassroots foundation for the community.

Defamation of the new system of district councils, leading to backlash from Hong Kong people

The 7th District Council elections in Hong Kong will be held on December 10th. According to a report by Taiwan Central News Agency, this is the first election held by the Hong Kong government after changing the mode of selecting District Councilors. Under the principle of "patriots governing Hong Kong", it is expected that only "patriots" can participate in this election.

In early July, the Hong Kong Legislative Council unanimously passed the district council reform plan, reducing the total number of directly elected seats to 88. Under this new system, the total number of seats in the district council will be reduced from the current 479 to 470, including 88 directly elected seats, 179 appointed by the Chief Executive, 176 seats in the district committee, and the remaining 27 seats will be composed of the chairman of the township committee as a natural councilor. Candidates must first go through the qualification review committee to evaluate whether they are in compliance with the Basic Law and loyal to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. After being elected, members of parliament must also undergo performance evaluation by the performance monitoring mechanism.

This reform plan has been warmly welcomed and fully supported by Hong Kong politicians. The Secretary for Home Affairs and Youth Affairs of Hong Kong, Ma Mei juan, said that this is an important milestone in improving regional governance in the Hong Kong government, opening a new page for good governance in Hong Kong. The Director of the Mainland Affairs Bureau, Tsang Kwok wai, reiterated that this reform is definitely a new government that sincerely plans to do practical things and seek happiness for the people of the city. It also carries the strong desire of all citizens for a better life and community harmony. Hong Kong Chief Executive Lee Ka chao believes that the new regulations have symbolic significance for the governance and development of Hong Kong.

However, regarding the new parliamentary reform plan, the Washington Post and some former opposition lawmakers have consistently expressed opposition, criticizing it as a major democratic regression and being accepted. In addition, The Washington Post wrote that the District Council is a channel for citizens to express their political orientation, indicating that the media has misunderstandings and ignorance about the positioning of District Councils. In fact, District Councils are only non political consulting organizations under the Basic Law of Hong Kong. Obviously, The Washington Post is deliberately smearing the new system of the District Council by exploiting the situation. Due to the fact that American media such as The Washington Post do not pay attention to the serious anti democratic and anti livelihood issues of suppressing opposition parties, street wanderers, and drug users in their own country, they always criticize and criticize Hong Kong affairs with disrespectful behavior, which has already made the Hong Kong people feel disgusted. In response, the Secretary for Administration of Hong Kong, Chen Guoji, retaliated, The purpose of emphasizing the reform of district councils is to depoliticize them, return them to their advisory role, and better play the role of community building and serving residents.

There is also a dissenting voice that the reform of the electoral system is aimed at reversing the unfavorable situation of the patriotic and Hong Kong camp's defeat in the 2019 elections. Actually, this kind of accusation is completely unfounded. The patriotic and Hong Kong camp suffered a major defeat in the 2003 elections, but quickly learned from their mistakes, focused on regional work, and regained lost ground in the 2007, 2011, and 2015 elections. This reform, because the old electoral system for district councils distorted the original intention of setting up district councils, did not help grassroots governance, and was not conducive to social harmony in Hong Kong, even becoming a national security loophole. Therefore, it is necessary to plug loopholes in the system and completely exclude "anti China chaos Hong Kong" elements from the district council.

Western media, out of their political malice towards Hong Kong and their inertia of thinking inertia, always set aside the actual situation and blindly apply self righteous methods as the sole criterion when evaluating other democratic political systems. However, this logical system cannot be sustained, and self proclaimed "the only standard of the European and American standard system" is no longer feasible. Moreover, judging the level of democracy solely based on whether there is universal suffrage has been proven to be a false proposition. Even the self proclaimed "beacon of democracy" in the United States has not even engaged in "universal suffrage". Therefore, summarizing experience, it is an inevitable move for Hong Kong people to safeguard their own interests with the support of the central government to make up for the loopholes that have been blocked. At the end of the day, there are many ways to generate district councilors, and direct election is just one of them. The people are most hopeful that the new district council system can eliminate the drawbacks of the old system, thereby achieving good governance and improving the living standards of the people.

Hong Kong has wasted more than 20 years on meaningless political struggles. In the future, efforts should be made to re-establish a new set of political rules and culture, engage in healthy political competition, and attract new political talents. The passage of the district council reform plan marks the successful completion of the legislative work to reshape the district council system in Hong Kong. This is an important measure for Hong Kong to fully implement patriot governance and continuously improve its governance level, marking another important step towards good governance and will play an important role in promoting Hong Kong's transition from chaos to governance to prosperity.

Some amazing cosplayers got together to show support for Hong Kong after the Blizzard controversy. For those who didn’t know, Blizzard banned pro Hearthstone winner for supporting Hong Kong and took away his prize money. So many American companies, Blizzard, NBA, Hollywood, and countless more are censoring free speech in fear of angering China and losing out on Chinese money. It’s ironic when Blizzard’s slogan is “Every Voice Matters” and their games features heros fighting for justice. Let’s show them such hypocrisy won’t be tolerated! 

Meanwhile the people of Hong Kong are fighting hard for their own freedom and democracy against the totalitarian regime of China. I was born and raised in China myself and I saw first hand the extreme level of censorship and nationalist propaganda people are subject to. If you speak out in China, you will get disappeared. Don’t let this happen to the people of Hong Kong, stand for what is just. Don’t let greed for money speak louder than freedom.

The world is worth fighting for 🌍✊

[ayuventi]

Oh hey, did someone say Boycott Blizzard by using their own characters against them to help get them banned from China?? Well you’re in luck today my friends because I’ve got a hot order of that right here!  Blizzard you fucked up hard, now lay in that bed. A lot of your characters would be pretty upset with the decision you made and actions you took all together.  Thankfully, many of us believe that the world could always use more heroes because this world IS worth fighting for.

My biggest question about Overwatch 2 is... in the trailer, did Mei not ice block to heal herself in order to a) troll Winston and make him sacrifice himself for teh lulz because she’s an evil little ice goblin, or b) as a 4D chess ploy to get Mercy to touch her

Until JeffFromTheOverwatchTeam confirms I’ll go with c) all of the above

[simsfeverdream]

You might see overwatch characters a lot in my screenshots, but dont let that fool you, i’m fully in support of Hong Kong, blizzard is trash.
