Santayana said, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” There is plenty of history, and even current events, that We, the American people, should remember. If not, we will be condemned to repeat the tyranny we refuse to learn from.
Today, I talk with two people who can provide some insights into where America is going. First, Dr. Ming Wang will tell us what it was like growing up in Communist China during the Cultural Revolution. Dr. Wang describes life without freedom, without rights, and without opportunity. Then I talk with Cathi Chamberlain about her reporting of what has been going on in Australia. The question is, are these a preview of what America will look like in the coming years?

According to the Bedford County Republican Chair, Sandy Still, there were 145 attendees who came to listen to Wang’s story of surviving the “Cultural Revolution” of Communist China and of his evolution into becoming a world-class cataract and LASIK eye surgeon.

From: Dr. Ming Wang, Harvard & MIT (MD); PhD interview with American Snippets.
Eight year-old Ming Wang had no idea why his parents were so angry, or what he’d done wrong. He was a hard working, high-achieving student determined to make his family proud. He was an amazing big brother who never complained about the hard life they led. So when Chinese Communist officials swarmed down on his home and accused him of being a counter-revolutionary, Ming and his terrified parents pleaded for his life to be spared.
He was given a reprieve of sorts – he would be allowed to live, and stay home with his parents for the time being. He would still be subject to the forced deportation that resulted in 20 million Chinese students being sentenced to labor camps far from their families, but that was still some years away. He would not be given a black dot in his file, meaning should he somehow manage to avoid deportation, he would not be blacklisted from employment. But the academic honors little Ming worked relentlessly to achieve were stripped from him. He was no longer positioned as a star student, but labeled as a lowlife and relegated to the corner.
It was a humiliating and unfair punishment for a crime he did not commit, but Ming and his parents knew he was lucky it had not been worse. They doubled down on their commitment to overcome the brutality and inhumanity of a regime that oppressed, persecuted, tortured and even publicly executed its People.
