Look at the calligraphy - what a beautiful language! CCP is bullying another ethnic minority yet again! Tell this scumbag of a regime enough is enough. Preserve and respect everyone's culture, it's a firm no to Chinese cultural colonization from #Mongolia!

Turning masses against the masses is an oft-used tactic by #ccp to make sure it remains on top of everyone. So don’t think persecution of ethnic minorities will stop, or in fact, the persecution of any random groups.

早前史丹福大學以疫情下預算緊絀為理由，喺上年12月起唔再同校內唯一一位教授廣東話班超過21年嘅講師張錫莉博士（Sik Lee Dennig ph.D.）續約。其後喺超過3000名師生、校外學者聯署後，校方終於回應大家嘅訴求，並承諾下個學期開辦兩個廣東話課程。

張錫莉博士除咗係校內唯一一位教授廣東話班超過21年嘅講師之外，佢仲係史丹福大學校友。當得知佢不獲續約嘅消息之後，耶魯大學公共衛生助理教授Jamie Tam、中文系博士四年級生Maciej Kurzynski、以及人類學博士一年級生Jocelyn Lee就發起聯署，希望爭取廣東話課程可以長久地延續落去；佢哋表示當初聽到呢個消息之後，感到「痛心」、「震驚」；而以前讀過呢個課程嘅Jamie更指，呢個課程可以話係影響一生，因為呢個課程令佢同祖母、同埋傳統可以重新連結。

最後，聯署獲得超過1540名史丹福大學嘅師生、校友、大概1500名校外人員（包括亞洲研究學者、亞裔機構工作人員等）支持，反映呢個課程對於個人、學術、專業都有好大影響，同時令到校方回應訴求。

幾位聯署發起人指，史丹福大學雖然承諾下個學期開辦兩個廣東話課程，但就冇直接回應長期開辦廣東話課程、開設全職廣東話導師嘅職位，以及以廣東話符合學校語文學習要求嘅訴求，佢哋表示會一直爭取落去，令廣東話課程可以一直保留落去。

March 10 is #Tibetan Uprising Day! In support of our Tibetan friends, we'd like to draw your attention to #CCP's oppressive language policies are not unfamiliar to #HongKong at all, and it's happening in more places than you thought! #Chinese government's bilingual policy in #Tibet does not come from an educational imperative but a political one, wanting to uproot Tibetan culture. Erasure of language is a dangerous sign of genocide.

Language is the way a nation, an imagined community physically manifests its bond. #CCP wants to break this bond between #HongKongers, #Uyghurs, #Tibetans, #Mongolians through cleansing our language, we must fight back.

Also, there is an interesting Time Out article sharing Cantonese slangs you must know. Give it a read - it tells you a lot about the character of #HongKongers!
