Week 14

  The photo is one of famous Chinese star anchor Bi Fujian. But now he has been taken off air after a video emerged of him criticising Mao Zedong, the founder of modern China. He was filmed singing a parody song in which he said Chinese people had suffered under Mao's leadership. CCTV said Mr Bi's comments had had a " serious social impact", but many in China have defended him.

  But I don't think he should be criticised like this because everyone of us has the freedom to speak out our opinions. And the video was filmed at a private banquet. I think the person who took this video is the one should be criticised, rather than Mr Bi. The person even don't know how to respect others. And another thing is the speech freedom, we are encourage to wield our speech right, but at the same time there always happened this kind of thing. That was a sign of the lack of free speech in China.  

  This photo is one of the post from Yemenis online movement. The campaign began in late March as a Saudi-led coalition launched its airstrikes against Houthi rebel targets in Yemen, and since then the phrase has been used by people sharing news reports, pictures and videos of the devastation of war, and photo of children sheltering from the fighting.

  When I saw this news, I felt that freedom of speech is not just for some certain people, we all need the freedom of speech. We all care about others and the world so that we are trying to apply our rights.

Week 13

  A new project named "Our Hawker Centres - A Heritage &  Art Project" aims to bring Singapore's hawker heritage, food and art together. The project will spruce up 40 hawker centres island-wide with murals and art installations. More than 70 schools, organisations and artists will be creating the artwork. 
  I think this is a very meaningful project as the hawker centre is known for local delights that many of Singaporeans and people who came and travel Singapore have enjoyed. It could bring back the past about this market and encourage people to preserve the heritage of the hawker centres.

  

  This is a 20-year-old Korean girl's photo, she is Bae Dal-mi. This young girl never used make-up removers for the last two years, so after a specialized check-up they found her skin was two times older than her actual age. She said that because she wanted to look perfect at all time so that she even slept with the make-up on.
  In my point of view these are all because of an obsession with beauty. We all should accept ourselves first, looks is one part of human beings, but the most important thing is a beauty heart. 

Week 9

  A police report has been filed against a video that a 17-year-old Amos Yee has put up on YouTube, Yahoo Singapore has learned. The report was filed by student Yuen Wei Ping. In his statement, he stated that Amos' video "made insensitive comments against the late Mr Lee. In the eight-minute long video titled "Lee Kuan Yew Is Finally Dead!", Amos says that the late "Lee Kuan Yew is a horrible person because everyone is afraid that if they say something like that, they might get into trouble."

  I think it's very rude and discourteous to put such a video in public. I believe all of the Singapore should grateful for the effort that his has done for his nation. Although we are not familiar with him as close as we know our families, but we should still  respect him.

  

  Lee Kuan Yew, the first Prime Minister of Singapore was passed away on 23 March 2015. Thousands of people lined the street on 29 Mar for the State Funeral of Mr Lee. And many artists have done some graphics of Lee Kuan Yew in order to remember him. These are the most popular two graphics that I found. I think they can let people to convince of the sad emotion. They are strong enough to encourage people to respect the great man and remember what has he done for this beautiful nation.
