Constructive discussions are good for both sides.  If we skipped the over-heated
words from both sides the following discussions are actually very meaningful.

I would like to add the followings:
There are 56 tribes in China and have beening living in the Yellow River and
Chang Jiang (The Two Dragons of China) for many many thousand years.
At least five to seven thousand years is on the records of the unearthed
materials.  Among the battles/wars and intermarriages by goodwill or by
forces we ended up with tribes wihin tribes. That is, you have some part of
me, and I have some part of you.  One thing that really in comon is our skin
is YELLOW.  However, for Hakka (for some reasons) we hold our ancestral
records very firmly and have a "Hakka Spirit" to follow.
