One World, One Dream: Take down the Great Firewall!

Hello brothers and sisters in hacking,

Since advent of computer, hacker has been playing a critical role in the advancement of humanity from Linux to Internet. However, the most repressive regime of People’s Republic of China has transform China into biggest prison of all time. People has no right of movement, no speech freedom and no freedom of thought. How does it enforce all this: The Great Firewall with corroboration of evil corporation like Microsoft and Google. It do much more than a mere censorship tool, it a powerful tool to manipulate the public opinion, it create a false impression that people of China would approve the act of government. It turn civilian into mob ready to attack anything China government doesn’t like at its order. What good does Internet brought to China when Great Firewall is there?

So, my wish is you wish is very simple: Let’s take down the last wall separating the most populous country from the rest of world. Return the Right of Information to the Chinese, and let Chinese join the rest of the world. Take down the wall of Babel!

One world, One dream: Break the electronic Great wall

To have more fun with China's Great Firewall(3)

To create even more trouble for the infamous Great Firewall of China which is the tool to suppress the freedom of thought/freedom of information and freedom of expression, there are limitless way. I would like to add to the complexity of the task of GFW: there are various way of inputting different subset of Chinese character like Simplex, Cantonese, 4-corners, first 3 stroke…. etc. So Chinese character could be simplified as far as to the input of a particular method, but the output. For instance democracy(民主) could be written as 口心(RP)2 卜土(YG)1, (Chinese Communist Party)中國共產黨 as 中(L)1 田一(WM)1 廿金(TC)1 卜一(YM)7 火火(FF) X1 (Simplex), which the last number could be display using diagram or picture. Now the GFW will not see anything abnormal about this as in a webpage since it can never understand the intentionality of each type of data. We then left with the task to write a simple program that interpret them as input, and output it as Chinese text.
For the more sophisticate type, the clue for inputting method should use anything but plain text.
To reverse engineering this ‘cipher’, the Great Firewall would have to know all encoding method and all Chinese inputting method, that would increase the time it took for 100 times.
(You can use it in combination with my other ideas to be more effective. I would prefer to add another layer of complexity by written the alphabet as number: 18.16.2 25.7.1 20.2.8 26.8.6 or 十八.十六.二 廿五.七.一 二十.二.八 廿六.八.六! )

如何令中共的金盾失靈(2)

今天剛剛想到,其實是超級古老的一種中文訊息辦法,目標當然是令中共的金盾形同虛設,或者要再增加多十部至百部的資源在防火牆上,直至中共財政崩潰為止。打擊思想自由是要付出沉重的經濟代價的!
中文有上十種不同的輸入方法,中文輸入方法的流程都是用者以2至6個英文加數字來輸入,而軟件則以一個中文字為輸出。例如:民主革命在簡易輸入法為口心 (RP)2. 卜土(YG)1. 廿十(TJ)3. 人中(OL)6,假如全篇中文文章都用中文字碼的輸入部份及數字表示,則金盾不可能分得到口心2. 卜土1. 廿十3. 人中6 或 (RP)2. (YG)1. (TJ)3. (OL)6,的用意是一篇夾了數字的中文文章,還只是一堆數據,還是一種密碼。再者,為了增加它分析的難度,數字可以用中文字或有數字的圖像表示,剩下來 的就只是如何令讀者看得懂這篇文章的解碼工具了,這是個相當容易開發的軟件。當這一篇文篇到了金盾手中,一定是要用非常手段才可以分得出它是篇「加密」的 中文文篇,但因為它不知道對方用什麼輸入法及最後的數字是什麼,除非是用人手,否則用自動內容審查軟件一定要花上比平時幾千幾萬部的運算資源。如果一篇文 章有100字,它就要試上10^100次(未算其他的中文輸入法),如此一來,自動內容審查軟件便失去了它的經濟效益。
(更有趣的玩法是: 口心二. 卜土一. 廿十三. 人中六 或 18.16.2. 26.7.1. 20.10.3. 15.17.6 或 十八.十六.二 廿六.七.一 二十.十.三 十五.十七.六 或 18.心.二 廿六.土.1 廿.10.三 人.十七.6; 金盾,和北京奧運一樣,都是虛有其表的東西! )

To have more fun with China's Great Firewall(2)

Chinese character confer a special advantage which no other languages can give with respect to the Great Firewall of China. Not that Chinese is not native to the computer like English, but there are two subsets of Chinese character and more than one encoding for each of them, plus the UTF encoding. As implied here, if intended encoding of the webpage is differ from what the censorship software ‘expected’ of the webpage, then no censorship could take place since there is no way for the censorship software to know the right encoding. Now, other than that, since each Chinese character is represented by 2 bytes, and if we reverse the order of it then there is no way for censorship to happen. Or, we could switch one byte with the next Chinese character(or switch every first 3 bit from odd character to the last 3 bit of even character). We could also treat the 16 bits as number to operated on. After we ‘encrypted’ the Chinese message like this, what we need to do is just to leave a clue(in the webpage or separate place) on how to reverse-engineering the original message, we could even write simple program to automate the process. Now if all this is implemented and software is available for every Netizen of China, then we can blow a hole in China’s Great Firewall by increase the computation resource it needed at least a thousand times.
Hacker, let’s mark 2008/8/8 as Global Hacker Insurgent against Censorship and Tyrant. Without the protection of Great Firewall, Chinese Communist Party, the greatest and last imperial empire will fall apart. Let Internet be free for all of humanity! Let humanity enter New Age without any bondage!

如何令中共的金盾失靈(1)

中 文比起其他語文有一個好處,因為中文不是電腦本身的語言,電腦及軟件必須借助一些對應表才可以「看」到中文,要看得到中文,金盾作用才可以發揮,否則再厲 害的內容審查軟件都是白痴。然而,中文可以用好幾種不同的字碼來表達,而內容審查軟件當然是不懂網頁原意是想用什麼中文字碼的,如果看錯了就審查不了。我 今天有一個有趣的主意,假設有30個中文字都是用同一編碼的,如果有軟件把所有單數順序的中文字編碼的尾三位和雙數順序的中文字編碼的尾三位交換,內容審 查軟件看來依然是一篇文章,但是它看到中文字就和原意相差很遠了,如此它找關鍵字的功能便失效了。但只要網頁留下一些提示或軟件,想看網頁真正內容立刻可 以在短時間內看到原本的內容了,內容審查軟件卻不可能在有限時間內把所有的可能組合都試完。當然,這只是最簡單的例子,更複雜的可以不止是相鄰的尾三位編 碼交換,可以把中文編碼當數字來加加減減某一個固定或隨機數值,甚至把數種方法結合來用,結果都是中共秏資千萬的金盾工程,利用最簡單的方法即不堪一擊, 形同虛設。
世界的黑客們,把2008年8月8日8時定為世界資訊自由日,把拑制世界各國人民思想的互聯網內容審查機制徹底打倒,把互聯網建築成思想自由的最前線,還中國人民互聯網自由!

如何繞過中共國的防火牆

思路是:
1. 中共國的防火牆小組不喜歡個別審查每一個案,因此寧願軟件封錯都不會每個封包去查,它們除了簡體中文之外,英文或其他語言都懶得去看;
2. 用審查軟件去審查網上內容當然是用機械式的關鍵字尋找方法,但軟件明白未能文章的真正意思及訊息,因此常常出現誤封無關政治的網站的情況;
3. 審查網上內容需要審查,但中共當然不想中國對外互聯的速度因此而變得太慢,慢就會傷害中共國的經濟;
4. 審查網上內容要成本的,中共當然不想因此而支出太多,影響其他IT項目;
5. 審查網上內容的軟件如果不夠精準的話,常常封閉無關的網站的話,中共國會因此要付出不輕的經濟代價;
6. 任何審查網上內容軟件的弱點:
A. 它不知網頁主人本來打算用什麼碼來顯示它的網頁,不可能頁頁、字字都瞎猜的!
B. 它是用中文字的組合及順序來分辨出關鍵字的,而不是用意思,亦不懂中文文法,因此可以針對這一點;
C. 它不懂分辨網頁各種內容(data type)是在表達意思中有什麼作用,它只是機械性的針對中文字,不會懂數字可以代替中文,中文亦可代替數字,圖案/符號/Flash 動畫亦可代替文字;
D. 它不懂閱讀圖案/影像/聲音/多媒體檔內的文字訊息,當然亦不知圖案/影像/聲音/多媒體檔是想表達什麼,但是這方法的檔案容量較大,加長上下載所需的時 間,或者可以把檔案壓縮來費卻時間。把檔案壓縮還有一個好處,就是審查軟件不可能把所有被壓縮的檔案都先解壓再檢查。
E. Java/PHP亦可以動態生產含中文字內容,審查軟件無從由它的程式碼得知它的真正內容,中文字還有一個好處,可以把中文字碼拆散,或當成變數作各種數 學運算。即使審查軟件有辦法知道每個變數,但一來它不知道這些變數的用途是什麼,二來要猜的話,所用的運算資源亦不成比例的高!

方法:
1. 由中文字可以用6-8種不同的中文編碼來入手,網頁不一定要標正確的中文編碼,它看不懂某字/詞就不可以審查內容,如果某網頁有3種不同的中文編碼,它要 平常費多達512部的功夫,而且因為網頁刻意破壞了關鍵字的連結關係,而無從審查。理論上,一篇有300字的文章如果3種中文編碼是隨機排的.因為它無從 知道什麼是正確的中文編碼,因此它要試6^300次所有組合! 問題是看網頁的人可能會很辛苦,要有專用的轉碼程式,依一定規則來轉碼,以及有其他人幫手就容易,就算審查軟件知道規則亦用盡審查方的運算資源!

2. 在關鍵字中加插空位、數字、符號、別國語文、英文,一般人用一用常理就分到,但對於審查軟件來說,分不清哪一些是無意義的符號,哪一些是有意義的。例如網 頁本來是字與字中間隔空的,忽然中間有個字或符號,審查軟件是分不出字或符號是本來意思的一部份故意放上去擾亂審查軟件的。再進一步的方法,可以用不規則 隔空/分段方式加字或符號來對付審查軟件。

3. 用圖來顯示網頁中的某些字詞,可以是被審查的關鍵詞,可以是無關的字,可以是關鍵詞的一部份,不一而足。其實不少網頁已經用圖來顯示中文字碼顯示不到的 字,每篇加多幾個字改成圖畫是小小的功夫,例如10個字隨機抽一個化成圖晝,在一篇100字的文章,自動化審查的難度多了1024部以上,而且它只看到部 份的字,文章的原意用再高階的系統都無從去猜!

4. 混合不同類別的資料種類,而不按常見的方法去用它,例如六4,6四,陸4,關鍵詞或非關鍵詞還可以用同音異字。讀者一看就明,而審查軟件卻要試所有可能的語音組合,費時失事。

5. 用英文/別國語文來表達關鍵字的意思,字典整個網隨處可見,用網上字典並不犯法,但軟件要先翻譯再檢查就麻煩得多,更有趣的用法是把被審查的關鍵字及非被 審查的關鍵字的部份用英文/別國語文來表達。寫網頁只要簡單的字典,用自動化的軟件隨機的把不同字眼譯成英文/別國語文。問題是看的人會覺得麻煩,需要有 軟件自動辨認語文及翻譯。

6. 審查軟件並不知道什麼為之網頁內容(包括文字、圖畫、影像等)的正確順序,因為它是不理解網頁內容的意思,亦不可能把網頁內容如一篇文章所有可能的排序全 都試完,例如一段20字的訊息有24兆種組合,把全中國的電腦合起來都需要1小時才可以運算出來,不要想像是便一篇有100字的文章了!所以可以用中國最 古老的方式去「加密訊息」,例如把想表達的訊息放在每篇文章隔第三個字,又或者是要第一篇的每三個字加第二篇的第二個字加第三篇的第一個字,當然可以篇篇 不同/次次新款,只要提供一些審查軟件讀不到的貼士給瀏覽者來解密;其實就算審查軟件讀得到貼士,它亦分不開什麼是文章內容什麼是貼士,什麼的文章該怎樣 去讀。如此作強迫審查過程不可以自動化,大幅增加它的成本和降低它的效率!
最好有一軟件結合以上辦法,自動辨別自己網頁的內容被中共國的防火牆阻截,立刻用以上任何一種方法隨機改寫網頁內容,只費幾分鐘,但審查軟件卻可能用幾小時去分辨。除非中共可以容忍在北京奧運時互聯網比日常慢萬倍,否則到時中共的思想統治基石:防火牆將形同虛設!
北京奧運是各位黑客表現身手的時侯,我等着看好戲。

Suggestions to overcome China’s Great Firewall

This is intended for webmaster who would like celebrate the natural beauty of freedom of information in the Internet during the 2008 Olympics. Since the censorship technology in China is partially base on keywords and partially base on url, my suggestions here is about exploiting the weakness of former.

Suggested Direction:
1. Mischaracterization: Mismatch the character set that the webpage intended for its audience to its META data, most Chinese read only website with Chinese characters on it, the software that do the censoring does NOT understand the meaning of Chinese words. There are five commonly adopted language set for displaying text, from Big 5 to UTF. If a webpage is mean to display in UTF is mis-understand by the censor software as displaying in Big 5, what the censor program see is nothing but gibberish. It is natural for Netizen inside China to adjust the language setting if what is display doesn’t make sense, but it is NOT natural for censorship software to do that. That would increase the load of censorship software 5 times.

2. A more advance idea is to break the webpage into several character set, For instance, break a webpage into partitions of Simplified Chinese, UTF and Traditional Chinese HK style. It would be troublesome for the Netizen to adjust the language display in individual partitions, but a single webpage that divided into 3 parts would increase the difficulty of the task by censorship software by 125 times. To alleviate the frustration of Netizen, we should develop software that can automate the task of ‘decipher’ the language ssetting of each webpage.

3. A related idea is to display the taboo word/phrase only in picture. The censor software can’t make any decision on pictures, they can only deal with raw text. Many webmaster already do that to display the Chinese character of the webpage that is not specified in character set data of webpage. How difficult it is to change only a few characters on a webpage?
Moreover, to increase the level of difficulty of censorship, the webmaster don’t just transform all the taboo item to pictures, the webmaster would do so randomly on taboo and non-taboo item. Doing so may require a software that automatically transform the require character into pictures. That is not difficult for webmaster, but it would VERY DIFFICULT for the censorship software to transform the picture into Chinese character that may or may not relevant to censorship process.

4. Add meaningless number, symbol, character from another language(like English), pictures or space inbetween the phrase that the censor software is looking for. Chinese language make sense only with an unique combination of character. The method is mean to disrupt this relationship for the censor software. For instance, democracy is made of (民主) two characters. The censorship software can’t block everything start with 民 or anything that end with 主, nor anything like 民 主, since the software doesn’t UNDERSTAND, it work only by inflexible mechanical rules.

5 Purposefully Wrongly align/indention to intentionally break the taboo words that is targeted for censorship software. It is easy for human to adjust the webpage in their hand, it would be very difficult for censorship program to try and test all possible indention and align to get the intended reading of the webpage. Beside, the censorship program itself does NOT understand anything of the content, therefore it has to test mechanically of every possible combination to look for taboo words. However, it can never tell which is the intended way of displaying the content of webpage.

6. Translated the part of the taboo words into another language like English, for instance democracy(民主) into people 主, or people master. Translation software is widely available in the Internet, it is nothing against the law in China to look for them, Therefore it is easy for Netizen to read the correct meaning but not for the censorship software.

7. Use only pronunciation to represent the whole or part of the taboo item. The censorship software is NOT equipped with the ability to recognize the character through pronunciation. It, however, require an intimate understanding of the pronunciation of Chinese character for different segment of Chinese. Moreover, the censorship software may confuse between different type of data. For instance, some Chinese Netizen use 1314 to represent ‘my whole life’ (一生一世), imagine if a Chinese Netizen use (1生1世). How can the censorship software distinguish the indent of number as for pronunciation or for representing Chinese character?

If every webpage that Communist China want to censor has adopt all or some of the above technique, then the cost and time of censorship would go up more than 1000 times. Let’s see if it want to slow down the Internet for 1000 times during the Beijing Olympics!

Suggestions to overcome China's Great Firewall(2)

Overall speaking, my idea are base on the following understanding of censorship process:

1. The censorship body does NOT enjoy to do the censorship manually in word by word fashion(especially when it is not the right type of Chinese character), therefore they rely on automatic mechanism;
2. Those mechanism are prone to error since computer software doesn’t understand what it do.
3. Communist China wouldn’t like to slow down the Internet because it is necessary for commercial transaction.
4. Communist China doesn’t like to increase the cost of censorship on its own expense, no censor like that.
5. There are economic price to pay when the censorship software block much more than its intended target.
6. The weakness of all automatic mechanisms in general:
A. It fail to recognize the correct language setting of the webpage, and has no low cost way to ascertain that;
B. It recognize the target word only by combination of Chinese character, not through an understanding of the sentence, thus many attack could target this;
C. It fail to recognize the intend of different types of data available in the webpage, it only mechanically check against a database of taboo words;
D. Censorship Software can’t read picture.

A more advance method is a website that has a software to reliably detect censorship mechanism. Once it recognize that is being blocked, it can automatically alter the disguise of content in according to my suggestions. Then it try again to see if its method is successful, that would keep altering its disguise until it is no longer blocked by China’s Great Firewall.

To win a lottery using Mathematics(2)

It would be difficult to illustrate without giving an concrete example, suppose you define the higher the sum of score of three dice as an indication of luckiness. At one day, you are not feeling lucky, and you draw the lowest sum of all: one, one, one, that has 1 out of 216 chance to happen. i.e. If we can rank what is most lucky and what is most unlucky, you are in the 216th of 216 ranks. Then you brought a quick pick of 6 numbers: 1,2,3,4,5,6; since you know that is not your lucky day, the chance of this number to appear in the lottery is 1/216. You can thus advise your friend not to pick any number from 1 to 6, which increase their chance of winning slightly. You can repeat the process to eliminate other numbers like 7,8,9,10,11,12; 13,14,15,16,17,18; 19,20,21,22,23,24; 25,26,27,28,29,30… until all but 6 number remained. That is something unusual given the computer picked number are most likely to repeated in each ticket. To fit the definition of being unlucky, it should reduce your chance of winning the lottery regardless of which strategy you devised to defeat it. So you should be expected to see a lot of overlapping numbers from each of the ticket your brought, because that would realistically defeat the scheme I devise here, otherwise the idea of a luckiness index is invalid. Say you have the worst luck of all, you have a repeat rate of five out of six(i.e., Given the first quick pick is 1,2,3,4,5,6; next quick pick is 2,3,4,5,6,7; and the 3th quick pick is 3,4,5,6,7,8), and it take you 37 more picks to eliminate all but 6 number out of 49. Nevertheless, you can pretty assured that the remaining number has a much higher chance (215/216) of appearing in the lottery.
On the other end, if you have the best of luck but not enough to win a lottery, this method could increase your chance of winning the lottery. How? Because which number doesn't appear in the quick pick must have a much lower chance to appear in lottery. You can apply this method in opposition direction. Since you are luck, it follows that the number of repeated number should be less for you to eliminate the one which has lower chance of winning the lotter.
Suppose we now have 216 people has luck ranked from 1 to 216th. If each of them buy a quick pick lottery ticket, since there is only one combination 6 out of 49 number that can win a lottery regardless of the luck of each buyer. We could easily use a computer program to guess which six number better fitted with 216 hypothesis that the chance of winning the lottery is reflected in luckiness index by throwing the dice three times. Of course, to further increase the number of quick pick that each person brought. For instance, each of them can get 6 quick pick, what the computer software has to do now is first evaluate 1296 hypothesis of different level of luckiness to get a coherent picture of the chance of each number appears in the lottery number; then evaluate the 36 hypothesis for fixed level of luckiness. So the computer can arrive at a coherent picture of the probability distribution of each number, and advise the best number to pick from.

Who would like to write such a computer software? It is just a lot of Mathematics. It can even apply this method in opposite, advising the buyer how many more quick picks to buy to maximize his/her chance of winning the lottery.

The opposite of unlucky is lucky. Shouldn't that lucky is the opposite of opposite of lucky?

馬英九有種!

馬英九總統真不愧是民選的政治領衫,他一上任做了兩件果斷、英明的決定,首先是派軍艦在釣魚 台向日本宣示中國主權,做了中共國一直不敢做的,把中共國對日方的懦弱和心虛充份顯示出來;然後是堅持用繁體中文,即不會因為要歡迎中共國的遊客,像香港 政府一樣在觀光點增加簡體字來討他們的歡心。其實兩件事都反映了他有完整一套如何以正統中華文化來反制中共的理念,把台灣回複到中華民國的主體,而中華民 國的主體就是正統中華文化的合法承繼人,暗藏的殺着就是指責中共破壞中國文化,中共不代表正式的中國。換句話說,他是正面挑戰中共國的道德正當性,表明中 國民國無意讓中共借佔領中華民族的複地來「自動」取得法統地位,中共國還是和中華民國在競爭中國的合法統治者地位,而中共必須面對它一直避而不談的歷史錯 誤:意圖在中國清洗中國文化,代之以馬列文化。實際上,論淨軍事實力、經濟實力及外交力量,中華民國都不可能和中共硬碰硬,因此它必須把唯一有的棋子,即 僑居世界各地的中華民族對中國文化的認同,甚至是中國文化對世界的巨大軟力量,充份的發揮出來;同時,它本身的民主制度亦是世界人心所趨的優勢。如果世界 人民在相比較中共的中國和中華民國的中國時,發覺前者只有物質的吸引力,後者才有精神的吸引力,因為世界潮流都取精神而捨物質,如此一來則中華民國已在精 神上打羸了中共。萬一中共他日意圖用武力統一中國時,軟力量可以隨時化成了強大的民間力量,即中共國是要和世界民意對抗,沒有物質力量是可以勝過人的意志 的。馬英九走對了一步棋,中共以武力統一中國難矣!

由奧運聖火去看香港人的真心

香港人其實不是不懂中共國的國情,大部份香港人都在中共國有親戚,怎可能不知道中共國最二、三十年發生的事?而香港新聞素來亦有中國新聞,不是97年之後才有,為什麼會忽然在97年之後要重新認識中共國國情呢?
原因很簡單,其實香港人相當滑頭,因為他們看到中共國的人以為香港人不懂中國,因此為了生活要迎合新主子,因此懂裝不懂,因為只要我是不懂,犯錯就有大條 籍口:我不懂,要時間適應吧!但是香港人的記性亦有限,裝不懂的時間太長,連自己都被自己騙了,真的以為自己是不懂。其實原本是一種心理策略,以降低對方 對你的介心,萬一必要時才把懂的一套拿出來,收出奇不意之效,但是北京的表現卻使香港人一直沒有機會去把懂的一套拿出來,以致後來香港人進退失據,自己亦 不知自己原來是懂的,但又被迫去全盤接受中共國的一套。香港人以為自己很精,其實很蠢!

An open letter to President Ma of Republic of China

Hello President Ma of Republic of China, the only elected president for all Chinese in the world,

I must congratulate you for winning the election against Chan of Democratic Progressive Party. You are doing the Chinese race a great favor by removing such a dangerous, incompetent and corrupt president from the office. Your winning represent that the traditional Chinese virtue of kindness, loyalty, polite/considerate, wisdom, truthfulness has not yet abandoned by Chinese living in Taiwan. Because you understand Taiwan has a special status in the Chinese all over the world as the central of Traditional Chinese culture, the root which define what Chinese is. And Mr. Chan’s strategy of detach Republic of China from the core Chinese culture is undermining this line of defense in the mind of Chinese. Chinese Communist Party, which is historically hostile to traditional Chinese culture, is covertly hoping that Mr. Chan could de-convert Chinese to non-Chinese, thereby Chinese Communist Party would have excellent excuse for the invasion of Republic of China which no Chinese would come to the aid of Republic of China. However, as we all learn from the history of the Chinese Communist Party, its intention to re-united China under the flag of Chinese Communist Party would never cease. However, this is about the only card that Republic of China can play given the economy of Republic of China is depended heavily on Communist China but not vice versa. Do you want to be the last president of Republic of China? Or do you want a better chance for China to united under a true democratic and republican political system?

To have a better position for the negotiation with Communist China, it is necessary for Republic of China to have its own source of food and water supply, and most importantly, a source of supply of energy that doesn’t rely on the goodwill of Communist China most be found to maintain not just the economy but the daily operation of the country. Given the influence of Communist China is increased as backed by its growing economy, it become a critical question of how Republic of China survival without relying on the wimps of Communist China. Suppose in the not so distant future that Republic of China is having a dispute with People’s Republic of China, Communist China could easily block the access of Taiwan Strait, then there is nothing Republic of China can do except pleading for the help of International Community and Oversea Chinese. How many friends Republic of China made in the International Community that are willing to come to aid of Republic of China?
The biggest strategic disadvantage of Republic of China is that it has few natural resources, especially those who are necessary for the generation of electricity. And electricity is the blood of operation of the whole country. Out of this strategic need of Republic of China, I here provide a method to produce electricity unlimited from electromagnetic field without the need of fuels, that is already verified by Japan Patenting Authority. If Republic of China maintain to provide all its energy needs without the need of import, then it could increase its competitiveness of its economy and increase the national productivity. In any event of blockage by Communist China, Republic of China could withstand that for a longer time, thus buying more time for Republic of China to win the world opinion. Given that the price of oil and natural resources are increasing every year, this invention could tilt the level toward Republic of China in long terms.

I thereby ask President Ma of Republic of China, which is the only elected president for all Chinese in the world, to seriously consider my proposal.

Sincerely with all my heart,
A Chinese citizen living in Hong Kong

主題 台灣的能源危機及形勢

你好,真正屬於全世界中國人的馬英九總統,

恭喜你當選中華民國的總統,你當選不單代表國民黨的另一次機會,亦代表了在陳水扁的四年來上下其手的操弄下,在台灣的中國人仍然沒有忘記中國傳統中 的五德:仁、義、禮、智、信,然而你和素來以狡咋、不講信用、不講原則而臭名昭箸的中國共產黨交往,不由得由我一直對自由中國有期望的人十分擔心。你想做 的是單單中華民國在台灣的總統,還是真真正正由全中國人選出來的聯邦中國第一任總統?對你來說,中國統一是不是遙不可及的夢想?你是不是抱着「做一日和 尚,敲一日鐘」的心態,以為只要台灣一天不宣佈獨立,中共便一天不會和台灣兵刃相見?你當然不會不知道,中共國和台灣一天不統一,台灣的主體意識只會愈來 愈強,台獨意識愈強,中國和平統一的希望愈小?另外,你當然不會不知道,台獨的思想來自於對中共專制的厭惡,但是隨着台灣的本體意識增強,對中國本土的疏 離感愈來愈強,中華民國以自居中華文化正統對海外華人的號召力愈來愈小,台灣可以對中共打的牌愈來愈少,即中共國出兵台灣愈來愈「師出有名」?
我以為中共辦2008奧運會本來的目的是在於中共把自己塑造成全球中華民族的共主,把台灣徹底邊緣化,以便為將來出兵增加正當性,否則為什麼中共國國內接 二連三的雪災、暴動、地震都打不亂它的奧運會計劃?因為中共素來政治掛帥,統一的政績當然比區區幾萬人的死傷不算什麼了!現在看來是倉天尚對中華民族有好 生之德,因此中共的陰謀未能得逞,但是時間對中共國一邊愈來愈有利是事實:一來中共國經濟並不依靠台灣,但中華民國的經濟愈來愈依靠中共國,因此中共國可 以向台灣打經濟牌,但台灣根本沒有對應的策略;另外在中共國的打壓下,中華民國的國際活動空間很少,如果台灣有難,可不可以指望他們來幫手?最要命的一點 是,國家的基本運作需要能源和食物,而台灣本身的天然資源並不豐厚,一但兩岸發生衝突,中共國以海軍封銷台灣海峽要道,對外以有經濟實力為後盾的外交壓力 脅迫美日,美國和日本亦不敢得罪隨時隨地可以犧牲十萬八萬軍民的中共,因此中華民國只有投降的份兒?事實上,因為中共國是有豐厚天然資源而一個不講人權的 專政國家,而中華民國是個近乎孤立但欠缺天然資源的自由民主的共和國,兩岸一旦因政治問題發生衡突,你想不想做第一個向中共投降的中華民國總統,任由亂臣 賊子魚肉同是中國人的台灣民衆嗎?
我以為我有一個誰都以為是天荒夜談的解決辦法,該方法是一種從電磁場中抽取源源不絕的能量的發明,它的結果被日本專利局承認,可以令台灣對中共國的能源依賴減少,為中華民國採取多一線生機。只要中華民國有獨立的能源供應,則台灣依然可以在水、食物及電力供應自給自足一段時間,台灣可以拖延時間,爭取國際支持,亦增加和中共談判的籌碼,同時亦增加中共國武力佔領台灣的機會成本及風險(中共國勞師動衆,亦要保護長長的補給線,台灣因有此科技,則可以逸代勞,以低成本且近乎無限的能源對有限而且成本高能源),減低兩岸開戰的風險。再者,發展此一類科技,大大減低生產成本,降低中共國的競爭優勢,亦可加速台灣本土的經濟發展,台灣的經濟愈好,和中共談判的籌碼愈多。

我真心希望馬總統可以認真考慮我的意見,則中華民國萬幸,中國萬幸,中華民族萬幸!

此致
一中國人敬上

To win a lottery through Mathematics?

There are various approaches to increase the chance of winning in a lottery, in a sense, they attempt to encircle the winning lottery numbers. However, we all know that it is mathematically impossible to accurately predict the winning number by sheer calculation. That is because of Gauss’s theorem which require minimum n different equations to solve for n unknown, but any approaches would give less equation than what is needed for solving the unknown.

My solution is to add one more variable into the equations: Luck. That is assume the luck factor is uniformly distributed across day, and that is knowable using methods of testing. (For instance, if u desire large number then throw dice for three consecutive times and get three six. So you are lucky because it has a chance of 1/216, which translated into you have the luck of 1-1/216=215/216 chance of winning.) Theoretically, since we now know the chance of winning and the number you pick then we can reverse-engineer the lottery numbers (use the number auto-selection lottery tickets since it is neutral in a sense). To increase the certainty of the winning numbers, a more sophisticated method is to ask several of your friends to get their luck factor, and ask them to pick the numbers. Since it is known that the chance of you and your friend for winning the lottery, we could thus estimate the number that has the highest chance of winning the lottery by correlate the numbers they pick and the chance of winning.

Actually, I do have an easier method for practice, but that require a sensitivity of your own luck. My method is to choose a day which you had absolutely worst luck. Do not choose the numbers yourself but use auto-selection from the computer(or in any sense that is selected for you by other.) Get as many of those lottery tickets as possible, then eliminate the repeated numbers. Then you have a set of numbers that you know which is extremely unlikely to win(otherwise you would win just by buying these auto-selected number). So what is left is what has a much higher probability to win. Suppose it require you to pick 9 out of 64, what you need is just to find a way to eliminate 55 numbers. If you buy a number of auto-selection lottery tickets, which you just happen to have 55 non-repeating numbers, then you just need to ask a friend to buy the remaining 9 numbers. Make sure s/he will pay you, and make sure you granted me one wish, it is your obligation to fulfill that wish regardless of its nature in case you win the lottery using this method.

Tao and Democracy

I admit my understanding and interpretation of Taoist may not be standard, that is the best I could get. I try to be as faithful to the original meaning of the text in this blog as possible.

One of the Taoist classic has the name ‘The name of Change’, so Tao is about change occur in nature. Tao is about how change take place and how to adapt to the change and how to led the change. Therefore I concluded that Chinese Communist Party is acting against Tao when it is turning Republican system into dictatorship which is not structurally different than other Chinese dynasties. Thus it is destinate to have result as other dynasties as dictated by its internal logic.

The reason that I consider Chinese Communist Party is against Tao is due to its general altitude toward Democracy in China and in Hong Kong. As every Hong Kong citizen understand, it is not that we are not ready to have universal suffrage, since similar proposal was already in place as early as 1985; it is that Beijing is not ready to see fully democracy happened in its country. While it can’t turn the clock back, it is doing its best to slow down the process as much as possible.

Why Democracy is more compatible with Tao than Dictatorship? Because Democracy is an unchangeable system that allow change to happen in an orderly and efficient manner which minimize the social cost associated with it. The purpose of Democracy is keep the governorship updated according to the will of people and the current situation, thus ensure that the country as a whole could adapt to the change take place internally and externally. Democracy is a way to give change an unchangeable structure. Thus change and unchanged in harmony, the change(of government) is possible due to the unchanged(political system/culture/spirit/economic), and unchanged is maintained by the change. Instead of fighting the change in names of harmony and stability like Chinese Communist Party, Democracy absorb the change to better itself. It is unchangeable in the sense that it promote change, it live with change; it is anything other than fighting against change.

However, Chinese Communist Party can’t tolerate any change that outside its scope of its control. The idea that it can control everything, and everything must be under its control for the best of itself (forcible intentionality) is the exact opposite of the naturalism spirit contained in Taoism. As Democracy allow change, permit change or promote change; it understand change in the sense that it tolerate a sense of uncertainty (in which law is being adopted, the result of each election, demonstration/social movement, decision of court on interpretation of law). That scope of uncertainty is how the society as a whole could grow and develop. As Taoism asserts, Plants and animals are best developed without unnecessary hindrance from human being imposing their intention on them. Thus country as a whole is best developed when nobody/group on the top imposing his/her idea on the people, guiding every aspect of their lives; that corresponding to the idea of freedom. Thus Taoist text implicate the importance of Freedom and Democracy over five thousand years.
