Free speech" When "Les Misérables" played in front of Xi Jinping

On September 24, 2026, U.S. President Trump held a state banquet for Chinese President Xi Jinping at the White House. The U.S. military music unit performed the suite from the musical "Les Misérables" and sang "Do You Hear the People Sing?" and other passages. The song was sung during the Hong Kong Umbrella Movement and the anti-extradition movement. Jimmy Lai is still serving his sentence in Hong Kong. The article points out that there is currently no public evidence proving that the song selection has political connotations against Xi Jinping, but it emphasizes that the synchronicity of historical facts has value in thinking.

Free lectures》To prevent e-cigarettes from entering the campus, we cannot rely solely on penalties

The National Health Service of the Ministry of Health and Welfare announced that starting from September 8, 431 anonymous electronic cigarette delivery locations will be set up across the country for people to voluntarily hand over their electronic cigarette devices without leaving their names or personal information. This move is in line with the direction of amending the Tobacco Harm Prevention Act. If "possession of electronic cigarettes" is added as a target of punishment in the future, people who still possess electronic cigarettes after the buffer period may face fines of 30,000 to 100,000 yuan and confiscation. The article points out that the issue of e-cigarettes has expanded from personal consumption to a comprehensive issue of public health, youth protection and legal governance. It emphasizes that prohibition and heavy penalties alone are not enough. Education, counseling, investigation network and campus intervention are needed to truly reduce the circulation and health risks of e-cigarettes.
