7 More Misunderstandings about WeChat

  1. WeChat Pay is only used in China. Truth: WeChat Pay is now available in 15 countries and regions for payments in 12 currencies
  2. WeChat Wallet can only be opened and used in China. Truth: Anyone can enable WeChat Wallet, even if they don't a bank account opened in China. How?  Just link your WeChat to your Visa or MasterCard and complete the authentication process
  3. I need to know Chinese to use WeChat. Truth: WeChat has a translation function that can translate 21 languages, so you don't need to know Chinese to use WeChat
  4. WeChat is not secure as the China government can spy on us. Truth: China government doesn't need to spy on Wechat users because Wechat has it own internal audit process that ensures that no WeChat users use WeChat to engage in non-government-approved activities, like HK Independence
  5. WeChat is just a fad and may not last, just like Viber.  Truth: WeChat is not a fad as its user base has been growing faster than WhatsApp and Facebook
  6. WeChat is less friendly as it does not allow us to add people that we don't know.  Truth: WeChat has a function called 'Add Friends Nearby", so you can simply add people that you don't know
  7. Using Wechat will open me to many strange friends and will make me exposed to undesirable activities. Truth: No one can add you on Wechat without your concurrence. In other words, you will not be opened or exposed to undesirable friends, AS LONG AS YOU DON'T ACCEPT THEM.

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years.  Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself?  At least I have better discipline".  It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Have You Found Your Sun Yi and Teresa Teng?

I n the long, unfolding history of the Chinese-language music scene, "The Moon Represents My Heart" 月亮代表我的心 stands as an unsurpassable milestone. Yet, the journey of this globally renowned masterpiece, a song that would eventually captivate the world, was fraught with setbacks: it was once dismissed as "trash" by its own creator and tossed into a wastebasket, later suppressed by official policy as a "banned song ," and initially failed to gain any traction when performed by two different singers. The dramatic turnaround in this song’s fate is not merely a musical legend; it offers a profound life lesson: the greatest stroke of luck in life is not about how perfect you are, but about encountering the "right people", those who truly understand you, support you, and help you realize your potential, at exactly the right moment. I. The First "Right Person": A "Talent Scout" Who Recognizes Your Worth In the early 1970s, composer T...

Head Bleeding when the Chair Falls

The Weight of Silence: What Were We Really Arguing About? My earliest memories are punctuated by the sound of shouting. In 1970, when I was barely 6 years old, I stood as a small witness to the fierce quarrels between my father and my late eldest brother Kah Yang (he passed away in 1971 at the age of 17). As I grew up, these contradictions became the soundtrack of our lives, usually centered around our family's shoe shop and clothing stalls in Chinatown. In the court of family opinion, the verdict was almost always the same: my father was "wrong." He was judged as a man who didn't fulfill his role, who wasn't "burdening" enough for the family’s success. But as I look back from the vantage point of 2026, I have to ask: Was that actually true? Let me finally put to rest what my father did right: the truths that were buried under decades of criticism: Unseen Labor: He worked grueling, long hours. I remember him hauling boxes of goods and equipment to set u...
