I was reading Lost Department Stores of Old San Francisco and felt a little forlorn, when all of a sudden this was recommended to me! I hope that videos like these can preserve these little moments of now-bygone times.

[Video] During his tenure in Mainland China, the CKS government itself implemented regulations against Cantonese broadcasts, but they could not be fully implemented due to the political situation

Channel host also goes into the outcry by diaspora during this time and later CKS's suppression of Hakka and Taiwanese Hokkien (Minnan) in Taiwan.

He also mentions the distinction between the early (Sun Yat-Sen/ Wang Jingwei (way before that)/ Chen Jitang (not mentioned is Chen Jiongming or the other ones) and the late Republic (CKS and Nanjing cliques), including that one time CKS spoke largely to a contingent of soldiers who were mainly Cantonese speakers (as most of the soldiering force came from then-Guangdong at that point of newly-formed Republican China).

[meta] This subreddit has a very serious lack of any moderation

Hi! After multiple problems with the enforcement of some rules and consistent lack of action in banning repeat offenders, I've decided to take it upon myself to fix the problem. As of speaking, I've DMed the moderators and tried to get a response on if they're active or not, but one of them hasn't commented in a year and comments like these violating hatespeech (see full thread) are never removed. The subreddit is rife with solicitation, 2, plain hatespeech that also breaks the "no personal attacks or hostile behaviors," and then again, the "no trolling, baiting, or flaming rule", unrelated post content, AI-generated song covers, and other breakages of the "no hatespeech or racism rule". See another example.

Posts like these are made almost every week and no rules have been instituted against them.

This moderator team has consistently failed to meet obligations and my recommendation is for a search for new moderation, like u/TheLollyKitty.
