I've only just heard. While we were in Malaysia something so funny happened that I can't breathe for laughing. Hilarious, but also scary, creepy and sad, sad, sad.
BEIJING HAS DEMANDED THE RIGHT TO INTERPRET HONG KONG'S FORTUNE STICK FROM THIS YEAR FORWARD.
Can you believe it?
Do you know about HK's fortune stick? If you don't, what happens is that every Chinese New Year over 70,000 folk flood Sha Tin's Che Kung Temple to watch Big Red Hat Sifu stick a windmill on his head, go into a trance and, amid much chanting, pageantry and incense, pull out HK's fortune stick for the upcoming year.
Everyone is always surprised at how often it's correct and it actually foretold SARS and the financial tsunami, which is probably why the Communist Party is now taking such a big interest.
However, no one this year is quite sure what stick was chosen because the Mainland Chinese Communist Party hi-jacked the stick and told everyone that it said ... wait for it ...
... wait ...
"Hong Kong is to rely on the Motherland and allow her to make all decisions."
Do you LOVE? Are you too laughing uproariously? And do you too find this deeply tragic and almost downright frightening?
You know, this sort of stupid and ridiculous micromanagement is so sick and sad and scary, the Dalai Lama and Tibet should realise they don't stand a chance!
