The legends and meaning of The “God of Kitchen” Festival in Vietnam on the 23rd of December (Lunar Calendar)
Well-known for the long-lasting history and rich culture, Vietnam is the land of festivities and celebrations. December of Lunar Calendar (normally January of Gregorian Calendar) is usually the busiest month as everybody is in a rush to prepare for some biggest festivals of the whole year. Besides Tet Festival, Tet Tao Quan on the 23rd of December is considered one of the most essential festivals in Vietnamese religious beliefs.
In every Vietnamese household, besides ancestral altar and fatherland altar, there is also the existence of another one called “The God of Kitchen” altar. In Vietnamese’s opinion, The “God of Kitchen” is a one who knows every nook and cranny of a place.
On the 23rd of December (Lunar Calendar), families throughout Vietnam maintain the habit of preparing a farewell ceremony to see The God of Kitchen to the heaven. This legend has the origin from ancient folk stories handed down from generation to generation.
According to Vietnamese’s folk beliefs, “Tao Quan” is derived from three gods: the God of Soil, the God of House and the God of Kitchen. However, instead of calling the name of 3 Gods, Vietnamese people generally call them as “Tao Quan” (understood commonly as The God of Kitchen). In Vietnam, the legend of “The God of Kitchen” has been orally transmitted and recorded as follows:
Once for a while, there was a very poor family. The husband’s name was Trong Cao and the wife’s name was Thi Nhi. Despite getting married to each other for such a long time, they had no children, which led to their frequent quarrels every day.
One day, Trong Cao was so angry with his wife that he hit her. Being so angry, Thi Nhi left her house and met a man called “Pham Lang” who soon attracted Thi Nhi by his honeyed words. Then, Pham Lang and Thi Nhi set up house together. When Trong Cao was no longer angry with Thi Nhi, he immediately looked for his wife everywhere. However, his wife was found nowhere. Being so disappointed, he gave up his job and went everywhere as a mendicant to seek for his wife.
One day, Trong Cao went to a prosperous household and begged for foods, and the mistress of the house brought some cooked rice to the door to give him. Accidentally, two people recognized each other. Thi Nhi regretted getting married to Pham Lang. While they were having a heart-to-heart talk, the new husband “Pham Lang” suddenly came back home from the field. Being so worried, Thi Nhi just told Trong Cao to hide in a stack of straw. Pham Lang went back home in order to get the ashes to fertilize fields, so he burned the stack of straw to ash. Trong Cao was sleeping deeply in the stack of straw due to his tiredness, so he was unexpectedly burnt to death. Afterwards, his ex-wife Thi Nhi also rushed into the fire to die together with his ex-husband. Pham Lang found his wife dead and also ended his life by the same way with his wife.

//Anthony Wong’s Forbidden Colors
Out Hong Kong Canto-pop star brings his activism to US during his home’s protest crisis
BY MICHAEL LUONGO
From 1988’s “Forbidden Colors,” named for a 1953 novel by gay Japanese writer Yukio Mishima to this year’s “Is It A Crime?,” commemorating the 30th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre, Hong Kong Canto-pop star Anthony Wong Yiu-ming has combined music and activism over his long career. As Hong Kong explodes in revolt against Beijing’s tightening grip with the One Country, Two Systems policy ticking to its halfway point, Wong arrived stateside for a tour that included ’s Gramercy Theatre.
Gay City News caught up with 57-year-old Wong in the Upper West Side apartment of Hong Kong film director Evans Chan, a collaborator on several films. The director was hosting a gathering for Hong Kong diaspora fans, many from the New York For Hong Kong (NY4HK) solidarity movement.
The conversation covered Wong’s friendship with out actress, model, and singer Denise Ho Wan-see who co-founded the LGBTQ group Big Love Alliance with Wong and recently spoke to the US Congress; the late Leslie Cheung, perhaps Asia’s most famous LGBTQ celebrity; the threat of China’s rise in the global order; and the ongoing relationship among Canto-pop, the Cantonese language, and Hong Kong identity.
Wong felt it was important to point out that Hong Kong’s current struggle is one of many related to preserving democracy in the former British colony that was handed back to China in 1997. While not his own lyrics, Wong is known for singing “Raise the Umbrella” at public events and in Chan’s 2016 documentary “Raise the Umbrellas,” which examined the 2014 Occupy Central or Umbrella Movement, when Hong Kong citizens took over the central business district for nearly three months, paralyzing the city.
Wong told Gay City News, “I wanted to sing it on this tour because it was the fifth anniversary of the Umbrella Movement last week.”
He added, “For a long time after, nobody wanted to sing that song, because we all thought the Umbrella Movement was a failure. We all thought we were defeated.”
Still, he said, without previous movements “we wouldn’t have reached today,” adding, “Even more so than the Umbrella Movement, I still feel we feel more empowered than before.”
Hong Kong’s current protests came days after the 30th anniversary commemorations of the Tiananmen Square Massacre, known in China as the June 4th Incident. Hong Kong is the only place on Chinese soil where the Massacre can be publicly discussed and commemorated. Working with Tats Lau of his band Tat Ming Pair, Wong wrote the song “Is It A Crime?” to perform at Hong Kong’s annual Tiananmen commemoration. The song emphasizes how the right to remember the Massacre is increasingly fraught.
“I wanted our group to put out that song to commemorate that because to me Tiananmen Square was a big enlightenment,” a warning of what the Beijing government will do to those who challenge it, he said, adding that during the June 4 Victoria Park vigil, “I really felt the energy and the power was coming back to the people. I really felt it, so when I was onstage to sing that song I really felt the energy. I knew that people would go onto the street in the following days.”
As the genre Canto-pop suggests, most of Wong’s work is in Cantonese, also known as Guangdonghua, the language of Guangdong province and Hong Kong. Mandarin, or Putonghua, is China’s national language. Wong feels Beijing’s goal is to eliminate Cantonese, even in Hong Kong.
“When you want to destroy a people, you destroy the language first, and the culture will disappear,” he said, adding that despite Cantonese being spoken by tens of millions of people, “we are being marginalized.”
Canto-pop and the Cantonese language are integral to Hong Kong’s identity; losing it is among the fears driving the protests.
“Our culture is being marginalized, more than five years ago I think I could feel it coming, I could see it coming,” Wong said. “That’s why in my music and in my concerts, I kept addressing this issue of Hong Kong being marginalized.”
This fight against the marginalization of identity has pervaded Wong’s work since his earliest days.
“People would find our music and our words, our lyrical content very apocalyptic,” he explained. “Most of our songs were about the last days of Hong Kong, because in 1984, they signed over the Sino-British declaration and that was the first time I realized I was going to lose Hong Kong.”
Clarifying identity is why Wong officially came out in 2012, after years of hints. He said his fans always knew but journalists hounded him to be direct.
“I sang a lot of songs about free love, about ambiguity and sexuality — even in the ‘80s,” he said, referring to 1988’s “Forbidden Colors.” “When we released that song as a single, people kept asking me questions.”
In 1989, he released the gender-fluid ballad “Forget He is She,” but with homosexuality still criminalized until 1991, he did not state his sexuality directly.
That changed in 2012, a politically active year that brought Hong Kongers out against a now-defunct plan to give Beijing tighter control over grade school curriculum. Raymond Chan Chi-chuen was elected to the Legislative Council, becoming the city’s first out gay legislator. In a concert, Wong used a play on the Chinese word “tongzhi,” which has an official meaning of comrade in the communist sense, but also homosexual in modern slang. By flashing the word about himself and simultaneously about an unpopular Hong Kong leader considered loyal to the Chinese Communist Party, he came out.
“The [2012] show is about identity about Hong Kong, because the whole city is losing its identity,” he said. “So I think I should be honest about it. It is not that I had been very dishonest about it, I thought I was honest enough.”
That same year he founded Big Love Alliance with Denise Ho, who also came out that year. The LGBTQ rights group organizes Hong Kong’s queer festival Pink Dot, which has its roots in Singapore’s LGBTQ movement. Given the current unrest, however, Pink Dot will not be held this year in Hong Kong.
As out celebrities using their star power to promote LGBTQ issues, Wong and Ho follow in the footsteps of fellow Hong Konger Leslie Cheung, the late actor and singer known for “Farewell My Concubine” (1993), “Happy Together” (1997), and other movies where he played gay or sexually ambiguous characters.
“He is like the biggest star in Hong Kong culture,” said Wong, adding he was not a close friend though the two collaborated on an album shortly before Cheung’s 2003 suicide.
Wong said that some might think he came to North America at an odd time, while his native city is literally burning. However, he wanted to help others connect to Hong Kong.
“My tool is still primarily my music, I still use my music to express myself, and part of my concern is about Hong Kong, about the world, and I didn’t want to cancel this tour in the midst of all this unrest,” he said. “In this trip I learned that I could encourage more people to keep an eye on what is going on in Hong Kong.”
Wong worries about the future of LGBTQ rights in Hong Kong, explaining, “We are trying to fight for the freedom for all Hong Kongers. If Hong Kongers don’t have freedom, the minorities won’t.”
That’s why he appreciates Taiwan’s marriage equality law and its leadership in Asia on LGBTQ rights.
“I am so happy that Taiwan has done that and they set a very good example in every way and not just in LGBT rights, but in democracy,” he said.
Wong was clear about his message to the US, warning “what is happening to Hong Kong won’t just happen to Hong Kongers, it will happen to the free world, the West, all those crackdowns, all those censorships, all those crackdowns on freedom of the press, all this crackdown will spread to the West.”
Wong’s music is banned in Mainland China because of his outspokenness against Beijing.
Like other recent notable Hong Kong visitors including activist Joshua Wong who testified before Congress with Ho, Wong is looking for the US to come to his city’s aid.
Wong tightened his body and his arms against himself, his most physically expressive moment throughout the hour and a half interview, and said, “Whoever wants to have a relationship with China, no matter what kind of relationship, a business relationship, an artistic relationship, or even in the academic world, they feel the pressure, they feel that they have to be quiet sometimes. So we all, we are all facing this situation, because China is so big they really want the free world to compromise.”
(These remarks came just weeks before China’s angry response to support for Hong Kong protesters voiced by the Houston Rockets’ general manager that could threaten significant investment in the National Basketball Association by that nation.)
Wong added, “America is the biggest democracy in the world, and they really have to use their influence to help Hong Kong. I hope they know this is not only a Hong Kong issue. This will become a global issue because China really wants to rule the world.”
Of that prospect, he said, “That’s very scary.”//

Love doesn't need to be small and small, don't care about
On that day, I was at my girlfriend's house, and my brother called me on line and said, " brother, dad ~~ It's almost gone, do you want to watch him last side :" in Taipei, I actually had it. Had a feeling, but not so fast.
"I'll be right back, I want to go home to see his last side"
When I came back to tainan by car, it was already 4 in the morning, and I also knew that my dad left around 12 am, that day was Saturday morning.
When I came home, I did not feel sad or sad, but just some feelings, the reason that my brother and my mother did not accept what my father did to the family.
Life will go through " death and death I know very well that during this time of his father's illness, his change and growth. In fact, I talked to him on that day, and after talking to him about what he hadn't
I realize that not everyone can agree with, and accept someone who has hurt you in the past.
There are 4 important things in life "Health, relationship, money and career, life's meaning"
I don't know how to have a good relationship with my dad. In Short, " I haven't felt anything called " Father "" I only know that there is a man at home, he will hit my mother, hit me and beat my brother. With my sister, and I want to call his father, I don't understand why this man has such power as if he is the God of the family. We can't fight or change anything.
Until I walk on the journey of life, meet my life instructor, learn who I am, and realize what I am.
After my dad had lung cancer, maybe the universe gave us the opportunity to get along with him. Although I didn't talk to him at the hospital time, I know that the man in front of me will hit me before. Men are not the same.
He's old, sick and lonely.
No one really understands him, he doesn't know how to be a good father's role until that day he said "I'm happy to get a son again". I think, he just wants to be good and do his last time when The role of a good dad.
Today the etiquette artist told me " no one likes death I agree, but don't accept, many people don't like death, because he's afraid of losing everything, what will you be afraid of when you have nothing to lose? Seeing my dad sleeping in bed and seeing him last side, I just feel " oh dad ~~ fell asleep?" not the same is that he fell asleep under the arrangement of the universe, to go to the stars of the day.
My Father's farewell office was on October 7, just on the day of the 7TH CHUNG FESTIVAL FESTIVAL. The Etiquette Master said it was a very good day. Our family also made this day to worship our ancestors, perhaps the father's arrangement. It is quite Time to complete everything in 10 days, and we can go smoothly with him on his last journey.
I don't like "practice and practice it feels like these things are very painful, but the journey is mixed and sad. My mom said to me," I can't let it go, I think a lot at home alone at night I remember, one time Coordinate the family of parents. I've been talking to them for 4 hours. I know I don't have the right to teach my parents what, and I am a teacher, I know one thing " you can not agree, you can not want to face it, but you have to accept that
"I will always be your son, I hope you come to teach me how to get along with people who meet every day" and I know you can't do it, I can only try to do the best.
In the past, my home was " complete today I became a " single parent family and in the future maybe i will be an " Orphan I only feel the love of my father in a very short time.
And " love doesn't need to be divided into size, no need to care about the length of time even if
These 4 hours will be the most meaningful time of my life
PS: finally i want to say to you after reading the article," we don't know how long life is, I don't know if others will accompany you to the end. When you see the opportunity, go and try it. The real thing to say to him is perhaps the most meaningful day of your life."
Ps2: I did not notice, any friends came to participate in the farewell style. The reason is actually very simple. I think you are happy old fish when you see me, and now mine is full of awkward... haha. I want to finish my last homework with my dad low-key.
Ps3: I am also clear that many people who care about me will care about my situation, of course this is your own choice, of course it is your own choice, if you want to come visit me, see the people of my family, I use open heart, The farewell style will be at noon on October 7 at 268 National Road, Tainan City, Tainan City. Thank you.

一昨日アップした「海の声」と同じメンバーで「涙そうそう」を歌ってみました♪
この曲は、昔からレパトリーに入っていて、齋藤晋(さいとうしん)さんの三線と一緒にぜひ歌いたいと思っていて、ご一緒していただきました。YAJIさんにギターも弾いていただいて、とても素敵なアレンジになったと思います!
Enjoy!
Along with the same members of the "Umi no Koe" cover that I uploaded a couple of days ago, I also sang "Nada Sou Sou" (Tears fall down my face) written by Japanese folk singer Ryoko Moriyama and Okinawan folk band BEGIN. You may also known it from Rimi Natsukawa's popular cover.
I've been singing this song for a long time, but I never had a chance to sing it with a sanshin player. This was the main reason I asked Shin Saito to help me out, and with Yaji on guitar, I think it turned out very nicely!
As for the meaning behind the song, Ryoko Moriyama wrote the lyrics while thinking about her brother who had passed away. So this song is mainly about remembering someone you have lost, but it is also popular as a "farewell" song at graduations.
I hope you enjoy the cover!
