sri lanka : the search for justice is currently being taken on an international preview tour through five latin american countries – bolivia , brazil , paraguay , argentina and mexico – by no fire zone director callum macrae . he will then travel to the united states to screen the film and meet politicians , government officials and human rights activists in both new york and washington .
at un , the foreign minister of sri lanka mentioned about appointing sampanthan as the opposition leader of sri lanka . it proves what motivates the government to appointment sampanthan as the opposition leader . once their need is over , sampanthan will be nothing to the government .
as observed in the book ( co - edited by this columnist , the search for justice , the sri lanka papers , sage india 2016 ) , the framing of sexual violence in sri lanka should not be seen as a pure by - product of war . the over simplification of what remains a pervasive and complex failure of justice directly linked to the complete breakdown of the rule of law indeed makes dealing with the issue far more difficult as it obscures the real power dynamic at play . â the crisis is informed and enabled by fiendishly clever minds at play , intent on entrenching impunity where it matters most ; the law and the legal system .
the unhrc will on september 30 consider the report of the high commissioner on promoting reconciliation and accountability in sri lanka followed by a discussion .
the sri lanka freedom party ( slfp ) , which is also part of the national government , has agreed on the proposed domestic mechanism .
this will see most political parties in parliament taking the position that an international judicial process will not be acceptable to sri lanka .
foreign minister samaraweera had told diplomats based in colombo last month that sri lanka needs time to ensure full reconciliation takes place .
the sri lankan delegation will also have talks with un high commissioner for human rights zeid ra’ad al hussein while the sri lankan foreign minister will also make a statement at the council this week during the general debate .
sri lanka’s attempt to obtain support for a domestic mechanism will face still resistance from a tamil national alliance northern provincial council delegation and producer of the controversial no - fire zone film on the war callum macrea .
justice minister wijeyadasa rajapakshe said that the international community had placed its faith on the new government following the presidential and parliamentary elections .
women persisting in their struggles for justice stressing their profound concern , the committee has asked sri lanka to incorporate better safeguards for the independence and effectiveness of the judiciary and witness protection programmes , in line with international standards . as discussed in these column spaces last week , the holding out of this witness protection authority as a major achievement of the governmentâ€™s progress since 2015 was a farce in the worst sense of the word .

foreign minister mangala samaraweera and justice minister wijeyadasa rajapakshe were due to arrive in geneva today to begin meetings with member states of the unhrc to seek support for the domestic mechanism .
the us , which is backing the new government , agrees . the us is putting all its weight behind sri lanka for the domestic mechanism , and it is likely that a majority of the countries , if not all , in the unhrc will back sri lanka . the current unhrc membership with voting rights includes china , france , india , japan , pakistan , russia , south africa , the united states of america and the uk .
“it calls on the international community to listen to the voices of the tamil victims who are calling for an international accountability process to ensure truth and justice , ” said a press release , noting that the northern provincial council has called for such a process .

on behalf of a core group , the us will offer a resolution during the geneva session on sri lanka to follow up on the new sri lankan government’s efforts to promote reconciliation and accountability and on the release of the report of the investigation requested in hrc resolution 25 / 1 .
last fall , the united nations agreed to allow sri lanka to set up its own special court on war crimes . mr . sirisena needs to move quickly to fulfill his government’s obligation to the united nations and its moral duty to sri lankans .
the panel said it had “credible allegations” that both sri lankan troops and tamil tiger rebels carried out atrocities but said the government was responsible for most of the deaths .
the makers of the emmy - nominated documentary “no fire zone” have released a new film on sri lanka urging the international community to listen to tamil voices calling for an international accountability mechanism , ahead of the release of a united nations report into mass atrocities on the island .
piranha you are realy the limit , thank god you are not around to derail the negotiations going on for communal harmony in sri lanka . dont worry about mcrae he has nothing else to peddle so he will go on whipping a dead horse
the period after the 1990 democratic movement , the subsequent political transformation in the aftermath of the maoist insurgency and the writing of the new constitution , has seen an increase in public discussion about sexual violence . the state has brought in a slew of legislation and action plans to address this problem . and yet , impunity for perpetrators remains intact and justice elusive . what are the structures that enable such impunity ? what can be done to radically transform these ? how must states understand the search for justice for victims and survivors of sexual violence ? the essays in this volume attempt to trace a history of sexual violence in nepal , look at the responses of women’s groups and society at large , and suggest how this serious and wide - ranging problem may be addressed .
zeid ra’ad al hussein will open the 30th session of the unhrc tomorrow , delivering a statement on the activities of his office since the last session and will mention his intention to release the report on sri lanka later this month .
the northern provincial council and macrea feel an international judicial process and not a domestic mechanism should be used to deal with alleged war crimes said to have been committed in sri lanka .
mr . naveen pragnaratna , please learn your history , not what was dished out during the last 50 years . tamils were in the north and east before vijebahu arrived in lanka and married the vadtha queen , queen kuvani and started the singhalese language . sure , history is written by the winners , so will the long arm of justice eventually bend towards justice . shooting or insulting the messenger is not very productive either .
macrae called on the government of sri lanka to demonstrate its commitment to peace and reconciliation by accepting that an international accountability process – examining crimes by all sides in the war – was the only way forward .
the first informal meeting to discuss the resolution has been scheduled for september 17 in geneva .
in this collection of essays on sri lanka the authors – activists , lawyers , academics , journalists – look back at sri lanka’s long and intense armed conflict during which women and men were sexually brutalized , assaulted , tortured and disappeared . they examine not only the rampant sexual violence during the conflict period , and the impunity enjoyed by its perpetrators , but focus also on women’s struggles for survival , their interactions with community leaders and their navigation of society’s expectations , their understanding of , and access to justice . essay after essay argues compellingly for the need to stop treating survivors of sexual violence as victims and to start seeing them as potentially powerful agents of change .
when truth and justice cannot come from inside it will come from outside . gosl was and is incapable of truth and justice . gosl tries to pursuade the other countries with falsehood and lies instead of revealing the truth inside . gosl needs a stick and not carrot . .
the concluding observations of the un committee on the elimination of discrimination against women ( cedaw committee ) issued in regard to sri lanka on march 3rd this year is illuminating in several respects . it was significant that the observations were released just a few days before the world marked the international day of women . in sri lanka , this customarily signifies an empty parade of speeches and social events with no actual impact on gender rights .
just because us and un not following the law , does not give right for sri lanka to ignore the law as well . yes sri lanka ended a war which was started due to the very nation ignoring the minorities rights and well being . should i remind you the riots carried out against the minorities in 1977 & 1983 , when the government stood by and watched instead of protecting the minorities . innocent women and children died when government just stood there and watched all the thugs fire bombed the minorities assets , houses and chopped innocent civilians to death .

the film , made by journalist and director callum macrae , called for an international court , rather than a domestic process , to try to dispense justice - something the united states recently said it would support , if credible .
colombo ( thomson reuters foundation ) - a documentary made by a british film maker has called for an international court to probe alleged war crimes committed during sri lanka’s 26 - year conflict , just days ahead of a united nations human rights council ( unhrc ) meeting on the issue .
sure this domestic investigation will be a whitewash to save the “patriotic” citizens . unfortunately the sad story of impunity will continue and sri lanka will perish in this ill conceived glory and eternally mired into this abyss “cycle of violence” .
talaash is the second novel of the bangladeshi writer shaheen akhtar . it captures the brutalities of the 1971 war of liberation and its contingent afterlife - - more specifically , the scars it has left on women . for thirty long years , mariam , the protagonist of the novel , lives with memories of a war that refuses to end for her . the analeptic and proleptic shapings of shaheen ' s prose travel in and through those shattered memories ( and their public use ) to construct a devastating archive of pain and anguish , far beyond the pale of cause and effect . shaheen akhtar ' s mesmerizing and moving novel , set against the background of the bangladesh war of independence , explores the violence done to women , their courage and heartbreak , their search for love and their betrayal . taalash ( the search ) was awarded the prothom alo literary prize in 2004 .
they demonstrate how impunity for perpetrators is both a failure of the formal justice process and a product of individual , community and social conditions and indeed the choices that victims and families often make , which promote silence over truth . at the end of more than a quarter century of conflict that has left some 100 , 000 dead , 50 , 000 women - headed households struggling to survive , and created countless victims and survivors of sexual violence , the calls for justice can no longer be ignored .
how ever hard one try to hide the truth it will be short lived . it is better to face the truth it does not matter how hard it may be now . it was difficult for any country which had bend the rules to face up to the reality of the truth . with out truth and justice true peace and reconciliation will be impossible to achieve . for those who are watching the sri lankan situation from out side know there were no credible out come in the past history for this type of issues as people are some how connected to the situation one way or other .
macrea , who will be in geneva this week , told the sunday leader that an accountability process is necessary , so that truth and justice can be achieved .

innumerable committees and forums on women and for women which this government apparently delights in bringing into being really do not address the heart of the matter where all these failures of justice are concerned . â let us hear less of lofty speeches and see more of actual structural reforms in that regard . surely it is high time and more for this ?
all this was moreover in the context of continued threats by both the police and the military in the region . in many similar cases , the women have fled the country , unable to bear the vicious retaliation meted out to them and their family members for daring to invoke the sri lankan legal system in their aid .
in september the united nations human rights council will consider the publication of the investigation into war crimes by both sides in the sri lankan war which ended in may 2009 .

nobody can save the defeated tamils . the tamil leadership is playing double game particularly sambanthan trio ( sambanthan , senathirajah and sumanthiran . the tamil people have to shelve them soon . senathirajah is self promoting devil not interested in the tamil’s welfare . sambanthan canot do anything without sumanthiran . it is a great pity why the people voted for the tna . the tamil people must have abstained from voting for the simple reason they are not part of the sri lankan governance .

people do not like peace in a country make these type of bullshits . sri lanka is having peace after war . no civilian is dying now . but hopes of separatists or terrorists have been shattered . that is why like piranha is angry .
but the wounds of war cannot be healed until a transitional justice process demanded by the united nations in a resolution last october moves forward . on that score , mr . sirisena says his government will not act “in haste . ” this is unacceptable . atrocities were committed by both tamil rebel troops and the sri lankan army during the civil war . the perpetrators must be brought to trial .
the sexual violence and impunity in south asia research project ( coordinated by zubaan and supported by the international development research centre ) brings together , for the first time in the region , a vast body of knowledge on this important – yet silenced – subject . six country volumes ( one each on bangladesh , nepal , pakistan , sri lanka , and two on india ) comprising over fifty research papers and two book - length studies detail the histories of sexual violence and look at the systemic , institutional , societal , individual and community structures that work together to perpetuate impunity for perpetrators .
the minister said that while in geneva , they will look to work on the proposed resolution seeking support for a domestic investigation on incidents related to the war .

“instead , they hope the international community and the members of the human rights council will accept the need for a process under international jurisdiction they can trust to be fair and impartial , ” he said .
why on earth is the un still on a witch hunt against us ? ? why not go after the war mongering us for all the wars they are starting ? ? look at the crisis in syria and france just announced it will attack syria too , then what about the civilians still on the ground ? ? what about the arab nations ignoring the plight of syria ? ? stupid stupid un and us ! ! sri lanka ended a war ! ! we are fine now . . war is a dirty game and people die… but we ended terrorism unlike the un and us that gives rise to terrorism ! !
a complex failure of justice ideally a witness protection authority should be the primary source of relief to which these women , whose bravery exceeds their male counterparts , should be able to appeal to without a doubt . yet can any one of us , with a conscience , declare that such victims even in the future can actually look for succor to this state institution ? that is the ultimate question .
ahead of the release of the report , heavy lobbying will take place in geneva both for and against a domestic mechanism to address the concerns and allegations which are expected to be made public in the report .
is there any form of credible evidence to prove that there were tamils in north and east before king vijaya came to sri lanka . this is how all these stories are created by merely posting comments without evidence . no need of written history get the examples from archaeological findings . you will find what is right but you don’t want to accept the truth .
macrae said that should the un endorse such a domestic inquiry against the wishes of the victims it would represent a betrayal of the un’s own principles : “the un has very clear principles on the role of victims in any transitional justice programme , principles which make it clear that you cannot impose a mechanism on the victims . the victims must be involved in its design and have confidence in it , ” he said .
the committee has stated that the integrity and independence of the accountability processes for women war victims be secured and that the judiciary and the legal system need to be fundamentally reformed . one crucial recommendation is that the government expedites the review and amendment of the assistance to and protection of victims of crimes and witnesses act .
an unforgettable book , a life in trans activism will leave the reader questioning the ‘safe’ and ‘comfortable’ binaries of male / female that so many of us take for granted .
“it is an essential process for our country involving the broad areas of truth seeking , justice , reparations , and non - recurrence . it also involves the important element of consultations to ensure ownership of processes , guarantee long - term sustainability and ensure that the deep grievances of all communities and within communities are addressed . therefore , the mechanisms that we aim to set up and the processes that we aim to set in place will have to be evolved through wide consultations , ” the foreign minister had said .

just a little over a year ago , voters in sri lanka rallied to elect a new president , with high hopes that he would usher in a new era of government accountability and bring healing to a country fractured by the brutal civil war that ended in 2009 . president maithripala sirisena has taken bold steps to fulfill those hopes since his election last january .
the authority counts in its ranks , individuals who have been best known ( as documented in detail ) for using the authority of the state to threaten witnesses themselves during the past decades when ordinary sri lankans were compelled to undergo gross human rights abuses . its so - called protection division is situated within the command structure of the police itself . if this is how the government proves the credibility of these institutions , one can only rest oneâ€™s profoundly skeptical case . this exemplifies certain truths .
macrae is hell bent on delivering goods for what he is paid for . can understand that . why were the civilians taken as human shields ? of course because they were terrorists who did not care . many civilians were rescued . many were shot by the terrorists . some died in the cross fire . what do you expect in war ?
so riveting is the narration that it is difficult to put down the book until their stories are finished . for a non - fiction academic work this is no small feat .

time and again , in south asia , the state has worked to mediate public memory , to manipulate forgetting , particularly in relation to its own acts of commission . it has done this by refusing to take responsibility , not only for its acts but also for the pain such acts have caused . it has done this by denying suffering the eloquence , the words , the expression that it deserves and papering over the hurt of people with routine government procedures .

a u . n . panel has said that tens of thousands of civilians were killed in 2009 in the final months of the war . at that time government troops advanced on the ever - shrinking northern tip of the island , controlled by tamil rebels fighting for an independent homeland .
rajah , do not try to mislead by writing a false history , it is true fisherman from tamil nadu visited north to dry their nets for long time .
dont do bullshit man . sl govt didnt massacare inocent tamil people but was fighting against ltte . it was them who murdered innocent civillians for three decades . do something sensible .
government officials were not immediately available for comment . but former president mahinda rajapaksa’s administration had repeatedly rejected alleged rights abuses and refused to cooperate with a u . n . probe .
the film will also be screened in the palais de nation , the human rights council’s headquarters in geneva .
throughout south asia , new educational opportunities and an increase in the age at which girls and boys get married are opening new spaces for young people to live the passage to adulthood . this book documents and describes the everyday reality of this changing gendered transition for young people in a rural area of south west bangladesh . it focuses on three main areas that are central to young people ' s experience : those of college and student life , friendships and relationships with those of the same sex and across sexes and marriage and the issues involved in the choice of a marriage partner .
twenty - one years later , in 2012 , the rape and murder of a young medical student in delhi galvanized a protest movement so widespread and deep that it reached all corners of the world . in kashmir , a group of young women , all in their twenties , were inspired to re - open the kunan - poshpora case , to revisit their history and to look at what had happened to the survivors of the 1991 mass rape . through personal accounts of their journey , this book examines questions of justice , of stigma , of the responsibility of the state , and of the long - term impact of trauma .
when revathi’s powerful memoir , the truth about me , first appeared in 2011 , it caused a sensation . readers learned of revathi’s childhood unease with her male body ; her escape from her birth family to a house of hijras ( the south asian generic term for transgender people ) , and her eventual transition to being the woman she always she knew was . this new book charts her remarkable journey from relative obscurity to becoming india’s leading spokesperson for transgender rights and an inspiration to thousands .
intimidation not limited to women of the north true , the prosecution ultimately resulted in the conviction of four soldiers for raping one woman and sexually assaulting another in 2010 . but this was due to the extraordinary bravery and persistence of the women at the centre of the trial who persisted in the face of direct threats and intimidation . this ranged from being asked to destroy evidence of the rape very early on to being offered bribes to â€˜stay quietâ€™ to being subjected to a second ordeal in court when they were asked the most searching questions in relation to their trauma .
examining this question from the perspective of an academic and a practitioner , sumi krishna looks at diverse areas including the socialization of attitudes , the shaping of community ideologies , and the construction of disciplines and research methodologies . the author advances the novel concept of ' genderscapes ' to reflect the totality of women ' s lifeworlds to revision natural resource management in complex landscapes . rich case studies unravel the caring practices of forest - dwellers , women ' s knowledge of biodiversity , their responsibility for farming and food production .
the author argues that the state and its citizens must work together to accord social recognition to the suffering of victims and survivors of sexual violence , and thereby join in what she calls ‘a shared humanity’ . while this may or may not produce legal victories , the acknowledgment that the suffering of our fellow citizens is our collective responsibility is an essential first step towards securing justice . it is this , that in a fundamental sense , challenges and illuminates the contours and details of state impunity and positions impunity as not merely a legal or political conundrum , but as resolute refusal on the part of state personnel to be part of a shared humanity .
macrae is following the bloody footsteps left by the barbaric sinhala military that butchered the tamil civilians . three cheers to macrae
well said… this macrae is looking after his own interests : terror money from the diaspora , and his craving to create a “history making video”… . . this loser will learn soon that most of the channel4 videos’ “atrocities” were actually created by terrorists donning army uniforms , for terror propaganda…
guneet ahuja and parijata bhardwaj are lawyers who have fought for the implementation of adivasi rights , and this piece relies on sources both ' official ' and oral , which when taken together are telling of the extent of violence occurring in the region . the essay is a detailed analysis of what happens when authorities dismiss human lives as mere impediments to development , and state forces reject a distinction between civilians and warring groups . it concludes with a call to end excessive military campaigns against the state ' s own people and engage with the cause of the maoist struggle , and , very significantly , to provide reparations and fundamental rights to those who have suffered for many , many long years .
but as enormously tempting as it may be to dwell on that at satirical length , there are important and substantive issues that need to be discussed . cedawâ€™s recommendations this month hone in on some of these most vital steps that need to be taken by the sri lankan state in that regard .
if the present government thought that it could whitewash the atrocities of the rajapaksas during the war by getting close to the west it is mistaken . the unhrc report is likely to be devastating to the rajapaksas and the military they commanded . macrae is fully aware of what the present sl government leaders are cooking with the us government and has come out with a timely expose of the wartime atrocities perpetrated by the sl regime . war criminals will be labelled and all must ensure they are punished .
a powerful video guide to the issues - designed to inform debate at the september 2015 meeting of the human rights council .
revathi describes her life , her work in the ngo sangama , which works with people across a spectrum of gender identities and sexual orientations , and how she rose from office assistant to director in the organization . today she is an independent activist , theatre person , actor and writer , and works for the rights of transgender persons .
the essays in this volume focus on nepal , which though not directly colonized , has not remained immune from the influence of colonialism in its neighbourhood . in addition to home - grown feudal patriarchal structures , the writers in this volume clearly demonstrate that it is the larger colonial and post - colonial context of the subcontinent that has enabled the structuring of inequalities and power relations in ways that today allow for widespread sexual violence and impunity in the country – through legal systems , medical regimes and social institutions .
as the monsoon rains wash over the city of kolkata , four women sit and read and talk in the kitchen of kailash - - the old mansion of the chattopadhyays where uma comes to live after her marriage in the summer of 1962 . her husband ' s silence about his mother and the childhood tragedy that beckons him from the shadowy landing of kailash , the embroidered handkerchiefs in an old soap box in her father - in - law ' s room and the presence of the old , green - eyed pishi intrigue uma . but it is only as she begins to read aloud the traditional chandimangal composed by her husband ' s grandfather to celebrate the goddess that the smothered stories begin to emerge . . . the novel weaves in the history of the militant goddess recast as wife , the portuguese in bengal , the rise of print and the making of memories from the swadeshi movement to the turbulent sixties in bengal as uma discovers that the foundation of kailash is not only very deep but also camouflages the stench of death .

sharmila rege is a professor at the department of sociology , university of pune . she has worked for several years with the krantijyoti savitribai phule women ? s studies centre , university of pune . she has written and published on sociology of gender , dalit feminism and dalitbahajun public culture in maharashtra . her present work concerns the documentation of music and print cultures of the ambedkarite counterpublics in contemporary maharashtra .
a resolution calling for such a process was recently passed unanimously by the northern provincial council . it has been echoed by tamil civil society groups , by public demonstrations , and a public signature campaign , which is gaining considerable support despite reports of harassment by security forces .
this body has not demonstrated any capacity , commitment or willingness to practically address the extremely dire situation of victims and witnesses who are being threatened as a continuous facet of life in the legal process . certainly women rape victims are at the frontlines of these threats . this is seen very well even in cases that have come to some successful conclusions in courts of law . for example , the jaffna high courtâ€™s october 2015 decision in the vishwamadu rape case exemplifies this .
from there he will take the film to geneva , where it will be screened in the palais de nation , the human rights council’s headquarters .
the last decade saw the emergence and assertion of separate dalitbahujan women ' s organizations both at the national and regional levels . excluded from political and cultural spheres , dalit women ' s movements have sought to transform both dalit and feminist politics in india . they have fought against the reproduction of caste within modern spaces like universities , bureaucracies and within the women ' s movement as well as women ' s studies . the assumptions about caste identities being private and personal have been questioned and serious challenges posed for understanding caste and gender in contemporary india .
the conflict between the state and the left - wing insurgent groups has created an environment of fear , and with it a number of impediments to the documentation of sexual violence in the affected areas . it is in this vein that the essay traces the stories of soni sori and meena xalxo as two out of many cases of torture and extrajudicial murder , most of which do not emerge into the dominant narrative . the essay also analyses the circumstances and effects of migration on the people that did manage to flee the conflict - ridden zones , as well as those who were forced to move to the judum camps where living conditions were abysmal .
uma chakravarti’s introduction to fault lines of history : the india papers 2 uses a brief history of protest in the north - eastern states of india to illustrate the contract between the state , the army and the rule of law . detailing the spread of afspa as a result and a feature of this contract , chakravarti points to particular building blocks in the story of resistance in the area — the case of manorama , irom sharmila’s hunger strike , the naked protest by imas in manipur among others — and castigates mainstream state theorists’ neglect of afspa’s existence and growing application as a tool of oppressive state - building . she explains how the postcolonial state’s painting of afspa and militarisation , and the accompanying conflicts , as ‘states of exception’ is key to the contract , which is characterised by the tension between the rule of law and the state’s avowal of sovereign emergency .
the narrative of chhattisgarh ' s indigenous population is one of violence , displacement , and as this essay will explore , several cases of sexual assault . the authors trace sexual violence and repression at the hands of the police , the salwa judum , and the state and central governments , all of which have enjoyed a great degree of impunity in the region .
the essays in the volume consider the significance of nation and gender in the context of post - 1989 transitions in the former soviet union and yugoslavia and in the context of post - partition india . the texts critique the ways in which narratives of nationhood and womanhood naturalize and essentialize difference and hierarchy . the authors explore uses of sexualized / gendered imagery in defining the space of the nation and sexualized / gendered metaphors of state fatherhood and motherhood in defining the distribution of power within that space . of the nation ( e . g . feminized landscapes and battlefields ) and sexualized / gendered metaphors of state fatherhood and motherhood in defining the distribution of power within that space . the particular histories of nationalism and partition are different in the countries involved , but commonalities in the narrative structures , state ad nation - building strategies , patriarchal patterns of control , and mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion are striking . this is particularly so with respect to the ways in which exclusive national identities are constituted through gendered representations of the nation and its members .

the hunt willcontinue until the mass murderers are identified and convicted . don’t worry about the us or uk , just worry about your own war criminals getting away with their heinous crimes .
for a bright young woman like fateema lokhandwala , the idea that one day she might own her own house is a daring dream . her father has spent his life , slaving away selling scrap metal so that his children might ‘jump the fence of poverty and illiteracy’ . fateema dreams not only of owning her own house , but of higher education , a better job , a wider world . her brother , kareem , is persuaded down a very different path – to join the jihad , to become a holy warrior .

the book interrogates the experience of being young and becoming adult in rural bangladesh , in a context of profound processes of socioeconomic change .
in this remarkable and wide - ranging study , activist and historian v . geetha unpacks the meanings of impunity in relation to sexual violence in the context of south asia . the state’s misuse of its own laws against its citizens is only one aspect of the edifice of impunity ; its less - understood resilience comes from its consistent denial of the recognition of suffering on the part of victims , and its refusal to allow them the dignity of pain , grief and loss .

the females of the film undergo quite an interesting transformation themselves , notably that of christine ng’s yinsu , leung’s underappreciated wife , who decides to change her looks from wallflower to stunning in an attempt to show her husband what he has been missing . as for francis ng’s love triangle , it is clear that amanda lee’s karen is truly a dominant person who many will see that she would not make ng’s fei an unhappy man while wu chien - lien’s shanny , a nerdy chicken stall owner showcases wu going against type in terms of her looks , which usually show her being stunning and wu here proves she is exactly why she is quite an actress . christy chung and stephen chow’s suen and kung couldn’t be more perfect for each other , having the same agendas in terms faking mental illnesses yet for different agendas .

there are some brief moments of fighting in the film , and when one says fighting , that’s kung fu fighting . chin kar - lok choreographed a brief scene in which we see christy chung protecting chow from the likes of simon loui’s brother smartie and his goons after they attempt to extort more money out of chow .

in one of his final film roles , roy chiao is terrific as the patriarch while the actors who play the elder two sons are fun as well . francis ng , breaking from typecast as a notorious type , is fun as the brainy brother who just yearns of dreaming for love and music . film series writer and producer raymond wong can come off as annoying at times as the moneymaker of the bunch , due to his character being more stone cold and only caring about success , not realizing the consequences of focusing on just work and not the family . the chemistry of chow , ng , and wong , show exactly why they may be brothers , but they are clearly having absolute different personalities and yet , it works so well for this genre of film .

until now , with the release of the folger digital texts , readers in search of a free online text of shakespeare’s plays had to be content primarily with using the moby™ text , which reproduces a late - nineteenth century version of the plays . what is the difference ? many ordinary readers assume that there is a single text for the plays : what shakespeare wrote . but shakespeare’s plays were not published the way modern novels or plays are published today : as a single , authoritative text . in some cases , the plays have come down to us in multiple published versions , represented by various quartos ( qq ) and by the great collection put together by his colleagues in 1623 , called the first folio ( f ) . there are , for example , three very different versions of
helen , the daughter of a dead physician , secretly loves bertram , the count of rosillion’s son . when the count dies , bertram becomes a ward of the french king , who is dying of a fistula . helen heals the ailing king , and he grants her wish to marry his ward . bertram refuses to consummate the marriage and goes off to war , sending helen a list of seemingly impossible conditions to be met before he will consider her his wife .
other editorial decisions involve choices about whether an unfamiliar word could be understood in light of other writings of the period or whether it should be changed ; decisions about words that made it into shakespeare’s text by accident through four hundred years of printings and misprinting ; and even decisions based on cultural preference and taste . when the moby™ text was created , for example , it was deemed “improper” and “indecent” for miranda to chastise caliban for having attempted to rape her .

i want to express my deep thanks to editors barbara mowat and paul werstine for creating these indispensable editions of shakespeare’s works , which incorporate the best of textual scholarship with a richness of commentary that is both inspired and engaging . readers who want to know more about shakespeare and his plays can follow the paths these distinguished scholars have tread by visiting the folger either in - person or online , where a range of physical and digital resources exists to supplement the material in these texts . i commend to you these words , and hope that they inspire .
