These selfies were took 1 year ago from this day, when I was the guest of an event in Indonesia with so many other awesome cosplayers that I happened to meet there and know until now. When it comes to con guesting, I think I’ll be the most unlucky one 😂
After the time I attended WCS 2017 and our visual effect catched lots of eyes, I received many guesting invitation mostly from Asian countries. However I immediately went to Swiss to study overseas, and the organizer cant pay that much for the flying ticket, also with my dense study schedule, so I have to reject them. There were like around 20 invitations got turn down, and if u have been guesting for con as cosplayer, u’ll understand this is a big opportunity to broaden your image to the country u got invited to. Yeah I missed all of that 😞
Got a long hiatus for 2 years due to my study, after that I came back to Vietnam for 4 months. In these 4 months I work very hard, try my best and gained from 2K to 14K follower on Instagram. Got invited to 2 events, which one of them was in Indonesia. I even received an invitation to a cosplay con in a cruiseship in America, and supposed to go in July this year. And I thought finally all my hard work has been paid off, the covid came and blew it away. Leaving me herr in Swiss, all my degrees that I sacrificed my time to gain was used for nothing. I basically start everything from zero here.
Even tho things are hard, but I wont give up. I have my parents and step parents who always support me and my husband. My mom said life isn’t always rose and wine, if u cant get thru the obstacles, lucks will smile on u one day.
Thanks for reading my long confiding story, this is a bit of my life for u to know me better. Hope u all safe and sound and have a great day ☺️

turn around 2017 在 陳冠廷 Kuan-Ting Chen Facebook 的最佳貼文
I have recently perused Nicholas Kristof’s NYT piece “China’s Man in Washington, Named Trump”(https://nyti.ms/3h2JXh8). One paragraph in particular caught my attention: “A joke in China suggests that Trump’s Chinese name is Chuan Jianguo, or “Build-the-Country Trump.” That’s because Build-the-Country is a common revolutionary name among Communist patriots, and it’s mockingly suggested that Trump’s misrule of the United States is actually bolstering Xi’s regime.”
Kristoff also avows that since Trump’s ascension to presidency, the American nation became highly polarized. This is reflected in the current administration’s policies on climate change, foreign relations with established U.S. allies, and COVID-19 prevention, all of which are rather ineffective. It also seems like Mr. Trump and his team diverged from the traditional priorities, including promoting free trade, human rights, and other quintessentially American values. As described thoroughly by John Bolton, all these factors contributed to the declining standing of the U.S. in global politics.
What is more, many people fall prey to CCP’s propaganda and its interpretations of Trump’s actions, which only enhances China’s reputation.
But that might not exactly be the case.
The CCP apparently failed to utilize the window of opportunity created by the ineptness of the Trump administration, as China could have grown to the position of a leader by filling in the void left by the U.S.
During the 2016 APEC Ministerial Meeting in Lima, Peru, Xi Jinping and his team actively supported the plans to establish the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) and a Free Trade Area of the Asia Pacific, or FTAAP. In contrast, the United States withdrew its signature from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) in early 2017. Coupled with China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and the establishment of the Asian Infrastructure and Investment Bank (AIIB), this move bolstered China’s capacity to influence global investments and trade, high-tech mergers and acquisitions, and, overall, expand its geostrategic influence on the entire globe.
At the same time, various propaganda films about great power competition, military industry, and science and technology surged all at once, and gained remarkable following around the world.
All this provided a window of opportunity for the CCP to slowly change its course. Around the same time, the distrust for POTUS among U.S. allies’ reached its apex. According to polls conducted by the Pew Research Center, the distrust for the U.S. president in the U.K. reached 75%, 72% in Japan, 70% in Australia, and stunning 86% in France.
Had the C.C.P,. begun to open up at that time, or at least resumed the governance style of the Hu-Wen administration, it could have reaped the benefits of promoting liberalism where the U.S. failed to deliver. It was the time for Beijing to gradually enhance freedom of speech domestically, pursue sustainable infrastructural projects, gradually reform unfair barriers to trade, transform its S.O.E.s, strengthen protections for private ownership, and vitalize its start-ups and enterprises.
Moreover, were China to cease the genocide in East Turkestan and refrain from cracking down on Hong Kong's semi-autonomy, it would have greatly enhanced its global international image. Additionally, if paired with slow but steady reforms, Beijing’s respect for sovereignty of its peoples would have attracted a large amount of foreign investment, which in turn would have continued to buttress the country’s growth.
It is China prerogative to remain idle.
It might still be possible for Chinese “Dream” to come true.
Yet, a historic window of opportunity is now closed.
Xi assumed the tools of proscribing and stalling, which are completely antithetical to the aforementioned window of opportunity.
Today, China is more authoritarian, less flexible, and fully deprived of horizontal accountability. Its reliance on wolf warrior diplomacy backfired: for example, the Swedish parliament sought to expel the Chinese ambassador to Stockholm. Also, Prague, the capital of Czechia, terminated its sister-city agreement with Shanghai and instead signed a new one with Taipei. Last but not least, we ought not to forget about the recent fiasco in the relations with the United States who ordered the shutdown of China’s consulate in Houston. All of this took its toll on China’s reputation.
Its international standing and inability to replace the U.S. as the major global power are not the only issues China is currently facing.
As it experiences multiple domestic and international shocks, China struggles to combat the COVID-19 pandemic and tame the disastrous floods of Yangtze River. The swarm of locusts of biblical proportions is also crippling Beijing’s institutional capacity and may soon lead to food shortages. In fact, the precarity of food supply further diminishes the level of trust for Chinese authorities.
In 2019, the Pew Research Center conducted a public opinion survey to examine the international views of China. In the U.S., Argentina, the U.K., Canada, Germany, and Ukraine, only about 30% of respondents claim a favorable view of China.
As the COVID-19 pandemic rages in the U.S., as many as 73% of U.S. respondents view China unfavorably.
Recently, the C.C.P. is losing its focus by continuously shifting targets. In fact, I believe there is no need for the C.C.P.to rely on nationalistic appeals, since in this new century values, business relations, and fair competition are all far more important than greater than delusive blood ties.
China lies only 130 kilometers away from us. Of course, we welcome dialogue and seek to avoid misjudgments. But we also distinguish between the C.C.P. and China. While we do welcome dialogue, but we will not be coerced to talk under unjust preconditions or in fear.
The only fair prerequisites are those of reciprocity, mutual respect as well as fairness and openness with respect for the rule of law.

最近看到紐約時報中文版的一篇文章
<美國的川普,中國的「川建國」>,其中一小段是這樣的
「在中國,人們戲稱川普的中文名字是川建國。那是因為建國是共產黨愛國者中一個普遍的革命人名。它在諷刺地暗示川普對美國的治理不當實際上是在鞏固習近平的政權。」
裡面也提到,川普在任的幾年,國家更分裂,對於氣候變遷,傳統美國盟友,乃至於疫情處理等都相當拙劣,對於美國傳統的自由貿易、人權等價值也基本上都沒有太大興趣。這些方針,導致美國在世界的評價降低,波頓的新書也多有描述。
除此之外,許多不幸相信中共宣傳,又或者是中共圈養的小粉紅,特別故意愛宣傳川普增強中國的威望。
但這不是真的。
中共完全沒有掌握美國做得不夠好的地方,去增強其在世界的領導力。
在2016年時,秘魯的亞太峰會舉行期間,習近平政權爭取(RCEP)及亞太自由貿易區(FTAAP)談判;對比2017年初,美國剛宣布退出TPP,加上中國到「一帶一路」和亞洲基礎設施投資銀行,中國當時在世界全面發揮投資貿易、高科技併購還有其地緣戰略的影響力。
也是那個時候,各種的大國崛起、大國軍工、大國科技的宣傳影片此起彼落,似乎正準備要在世界舞台發光發熱。
這曾經是中共慢慢轉向的一個機會之窗。彼時(2017)美國盟友對美國總統的不信任度達到歷史新高,根據皮尤研究中心的資訊,英國對於美國總統的不信任度達到75%、日本72% 澳洲70% 法國更高達86%
如果那時中共開始有限度的改革,對內放寬言論自由,或者至少維持在胡溫當時的水中,對外追求有責任的基礎建設,逐步緩慢減低不公平的貿易壁壘,對於國有企業改革,增強私營企業、新創企業的活力。
停止對新疆迫害,不干預香港自治,不僅國際形象會大幅改善,哪怕是緩慢但是穩健的改革,也會讓大量吸引外資,讓中國的活力持續前進。
哪怕是什麼都不做也好
那或許有這麽一點可能性,中國「夢」是可以前行的
但是歷史機緣的大門已經關上。
習、禁、停、放棄了這個機會之窗,徹底的走向相反的方向。
更專制、更沒有彈性,更沒有任何制衡的力量。各種戰狼外交,讓瑞典議員提案驅逐中國大使,捷克布拉格市長與台北簽訂姊妹是,就解散上海與該市關係、被美國關閉領事館、各種讓中國形象低下的事情,中共都沒有少做。
中共不但完全沒有辦法取代美國,在多重國內外的衝擊之下,又是瘟疫,又是超大水患,緊接著蝗害,還有進來的糧食不足問題,正在面臨巨大的瓶頸。
而糧食的命脈,卻恰恰又在對他最不信任,對中共價值最反對的國家聯盟
根據皮尤研究中心:Pew Research Center2019調查各國對中國的喜好度,美國、阿根廷、英國、加拿大、德國、烏克蘭等,對於中國的喜好度都在30%上下
而2020疫情後美國對於中國的不信任度,更高達73%。
最近中共在演習,又要玩轉移目標的手段,對於中共,其實不必再有民族主義的同情,因為新的世紀,價值、商業模式、公平競爭的制度大於血緣幻想。
中國離我們只有130公里的距離,我們當然歡迎對話,避免誤判。但我們同時也區分中共與中國,歡迎對話,但不在前提、條件、恐懼之下對話。
如果真的要有前提,那就是對等、尊重,還有公平公開法治的方式會晤。

turn around 2017 在 李怡 Facebook 的最佳解答
When Americans are determined (Lee Yee)
There are many things in the world that ordinary people find impossible to accomplish, yet if some put their heart into it, things may not turn out to be all that impossible.
I saw an essay on a mainland site two months ago that was titled “The World’s Most Powerful Parents, Two Against a Country”. It was quickly deleted, but relevant information could be found on overseas sites.
The parents here were the parents of Otto Frederick Warmbier, a college student who was imprisoned and tortured to death by North Korea more than four years ago. Otto went to North Korea on a short trip in December 2015. As he was leaving, he was accused of attempting to steal a political propaganda poster from a hotel in Pyongyang, and was sentenced to 15 years of hard labor. On June 13, 2017, North Korea suddenly released him on “humanitarian grounds”, he turned to the US in a vegetative coma. A week later, he died.
Otto’s father, Fred Warmbier, described the state of his son on his return to the US, and was determined that Otto was severely injured from being tortured in North Korea. His mother, Cindy, said that North Korea only released him because “they did not want him to die on their land”.
Otto’s parents filed a lawsuit in the US courts and demanded compensation from North Korea. The family ran a large-scale metal processing company that was on Forbes’ list in 2015. They were not short of money, and only wanted a revenge with the ask for compensation. In the US legal system, suing a country will be blocked by sovereign immunity, except when the country is classified as a terrorist country by the US. At that time, North Korea was not on the list. So the couple went onto media platforms, again and again, to speak about their son’s death, and the huge blow it was to their family. In the US where family values are cherished, they received great sympathy from the civilians, to the Congress, and to the White House. In November 2017, Trump added North Korea to the list of terrorist countries. In April 2018, the court accepted the lawsuit. On December 24 of the same year, the US Federal Court ruled that North Korea owed Otto Warmbier’s parents US$510.13 million.
This was great, but did it do anything? Would a rogue nation like North Korea acknowledge it? Many felt that this is an unenforceable ruling that was no different from a sheet of scratch paper.
However, the Warmbiers launched an operation to trace North Korea’s global assets. The media called it “the crusade of the Warmbiers”. The first installment of the compensation arrived soon enough. In April 2018, a cargo ship that belonged to North Korea was detained in Indonesia for violating the UN sanctions on the transportation of coal. In the year after, M/V Wise Honest, the second-largest single-hull bulk carrier registered in North Korea, was forfeited in the US, sold in September 2019 on orders of a US federal judge to compensate the Warmbiers.
On May 11, 2020, the US Federal Court ordered all relevant US banks to provide the parents with detailed information, including North Korea’s account number and holder’s address. While it is unclear the total amount of North Korea’s hidden overseas assets, what was discovered was that within the US alone was US$74.36 million.
The couple started a bank investigation into the deposits of senior North Korean officials in the US, and actually found three North Korean funds totaling US$23.89 million from three banks. The money will no doubt go to the Warmbiers.
Though a closed country, the Kim regime still has large deposits overseas. After all, North Korea still needs certain necessities imported from overseas.
It is highly doubtful that North Korea’s overseas assets would exceed US$510.13 million, but the couple persists and would not give up. Three years in, their determination for revenge has not diminished. They even make use of the global Jewish network to search for secret North Korean funds hidden around the world. “Our goal is to make North Korea pay for our son’s death,” the couple said.
One couple to bring this much headache to the whole country of North Korea. This is bigger than money, this is the dissemination of bad reputation.
The moral of this story is that if Americans are determined to pursue their trace for accountability, they would give it all and never surrender. If a country is listed as a terrorist country or criminal group, there will be no sovereign immunity for the country to be prosecuted; if any person is added to the US sanction list, tough luck to you. Some things that may seem unlikely, as long as one is determined, success may not be out of the question. Although justice is often no match for absolute powers, justice must be upheld, just like the Warmbiers.
