Blacklisted

I must be doing something right if my blog has been blocked by the Chinese government.

Yes, you read that correctly. I learnt this morning from Lou, my friend living in China, that she cannot access my blog without going through a proxy server. I’m not sure how to react, but I do feel an overwhelming sense of achievement. I mean it’s not like I’m publishing the kind of anti-communistic, freedom-fighting, diversity-embracing, propaganda-filled essays that the Chinese government hates so. I’m just “lil ol me”. The only anti-Chinese thing I’ve ever done is here.

So while this little piece of cyber-space can’t be described as “The award-winning My Life in the Slow Lane”, I can say “The blacklisted My Life in the Slow Lane”.

That’s something. Right?
