#Resistance against imperialism & colonialism is in my blood. It goes back much further than the USA invasion on Vietnam. It goes back several generations on both my patriarch & matriarch ancestors sides. Several of my ancestors in China were murdered by imperialists for resisting indoctrination & trying to fight back. Several of my ancestors in Vietnam were murdered by French colonizers while fighting back & trying to protect their families & ancestral lands. Part of my ancestral duties is to keep on resisting the colonial/imperial evil forces. I owe at least that, to all my ancestors who sacrificed their lives so I could live & speak out, today.

Big Auntie honoured her former fellow resistance fighters with a long & somber incense filled ceremony at her home today. We have never attended any colonial public remembrance day ceremonies - except when me & my brothers were forced to, in our public school times, which was mandatory for all students. We have spent some time during past remembrance days with some Canadian veterans here, who have dedicated the rest of their lives to fighting for peace. Despite them being called traitors by folks who enjoy war/violence more than working very hard towards peace. They are the real heroes from past war times - they understand wars should NEVER be glorified but avoided.
