What's New?
23rd August
Well time has flown and lots has happened with my life.
I am now a
proud father and as such site updates have been impacted I'm afraid!
CantoDict is still going strong though and I hope to find time for some useful updates soon.
On a less positive note, we are currently undergoing a spam attack, so please bear with us while we
try and deal with this.

I would support de-naturalizing socialist politicians and deport them to a socialist country that wants their brand of loyalty.

An investigative breakdown of California’s homelessness crisis exposes alleged fraud inside Gavin Newsom’s Project Homekey program. After nearly $4 billion spent, homelessness is up 20%, developers face federal indictments, and thousands of housing units sit vacant. This clip explains how nonprofits, real estate interests, and politicians profit while the homeless and taxpayers lose, and why Newsom may still run this model nationally.

Don't forget non-profits are in it for the business...and they don't care about displacing established communities with displaced people.

"It's deeply troubling and alarming that city staff would recommend this project to be a homeless shelter without the input of the community," said Stephanie Tran of the Oakland Chinatown Chamber of Commerce.

Neighbors said they feel blindsided and worry about a new facility right next to where hundreds of Chinatown seniors already live.

Homeless shelters is an industry. As long as homelessness continues to remain a problem, these organizations will continue to receive grant money so it is in the organizations's financial interest to attract homeless people to the area for them to stay in business at the expense of blighting the surrounding businesses who actually pay taxes that these organizations don't have to pay so basically businesses are subsidizing homeless organizations that puts them out of business when they attract undesirable people to the area who don't contribute to the economy.
Homeless shelters in Chinatown do not serve the public interests of Chinatown nor does it enhances a win-win symbiotic relationship with Chinatown as it displaces people with displaced people. Homeless shelters in Chinatown should be converted to low-income senior housing.

[+-]I think I have just solved your mystery. The factory in Hawaii that makes the rice rolls from scratch is called Chi Kong Look Funn Factory.

On the company sign in Chinese Characters it looks like the 亮粉 was mis-transliterated into English as "lok-funn" which instead should be "leung-funn".

I've noticed that, in Hawai‘i, 肠粉 is typically translated as "look fun" in English. Every single dim sum or noodle shop I went to translated it as such, but the Chinese translation of "look fun" on their menu says 肠粉 or 河粉.
I'm guessing, based on how it sounds, that look fun is originally a Cantonese word (maybe Hokkien or Toisan?). I can't find anything similar sounding in Cantonese dictionaries though. I'd like to know, first, if 肠粉 is called look fun in any parts of China and if so, where?
Also, what are the characters for "look fun"?
Any help is appreciated. Mahalo!

[+-]30K out of the over 100k undocumented migrants from China have already been ordered for deportation thus accelerating the de-Mandarinization of Cantonese-America. Maybe we can ask The Republic of China on Taiwan to accept those deportees who fear persecution if they return to China. Accepting these political asylees would help democratic Taiwan boost it's declining birthrate with an anti-CCP voting block.

Chen reportedly first began raising money for a Chinese queer art museum six years ago while still living in China, where such a space would likely never be allowed. After coming to the US in 2022 as a visiting scholar at Georgetown University, she later connected with San Francisco's Chinese American arts community through an exhibition at the Asian Art Museum and a residency at the Chinese Culture Center, which helped incubate the museum, per the AP.
According to KTVU, among the featured artists is Hong Kong-born Dixon Ngai, whose work includes a hand-painted porcelain wine pot inspired by Cantonese opera. Ngai said the museum gives Chinese LGBTQ artists a rare opportunity to tell their own stories and allows "more people to see our voice."

[+-]The beginning of this video was recently taken in 2026 in a residential district of Chai Wan, Hong Kong, and you can hear the locals converse inside a Cantonese Roast Meat joint pronounce the word "you" as "nei" and the word "this" as "ni"- and the word for "I" as "ngoh" .

Actually, it's neither. The "proper" pronounciation is "nei", but many people (especially in HK) pronounce it "lei" now.

Democrats are responsible for sanctuary cities that protect and enable criminals therefore democrats are complicit and just as guilty for enabling crime and should go to jail with the fraudsters who should be de-naturalized.

[+-]The CCP politics of Lionel Messi gets messy.
[
www.youtube.com]
The 2026 World Cup has become far more than a football tournament for Beijing. While China remains absent from the field for the 25th consecutive year, reports emerged that state media were quietly reducing coverage of Lionel Messi. At the same time, a humiliating 0-7 loss to Japan, a battle over broadcasting rights, and the collapse of Chinese World Cup sponsorships have exposed deeper problems. From economic weakness to political insecurity and institutional decay, this World Cup is revealing realities that Beijing would rather keep hidden. Tonight, we examine why a simple game of football has become such an uncomfortable mirror for the Chinese Communist Party.
