Stephen Fong,

You seem to be an intelligent person. However, your comments are often
antagonistic and aggravating for small or no reason, and sometimes for the
wrong reason.  To be respected, one needs to respect others. Guangdong is
far more developed than what you indicated. In Hong Kong (the southern tip
of Guangdong)  there are archaeological sites that are dated back to
neolithic era with advanced technology in pottery making. You would need to
check in the history that Yue and Min are not as backward as you portrayed
but highly developed cultures. Hakka in fact incorporates a lot of their
cultures.

I wish all Hakka friends also develop an appreciation of the cultures of
other minorities. As stated on the frontpage of this website, the purpose of
this website is never to boost the self importance of Hakka but to correct
the misinformation and disinformation about Hakka.  It is meant to promote a
multicultural spirit and not to exercise chauvinism.
