Decendents of Chinese indentured laborers easy beats for us Saturday, 17 June 2023 07:11 PM

Hong Kong had so many Chinese from various provinces come to live there indentured laborers. No capable or successful Chinese from the mainland migrated there, but only the low caste had 100 years ago, when the British took up their lease. Our ladies should thrash these descendants of indentured laborers as a matter of pride.
