...That would make Mao Zedong blush!       

Passing-tests-failing-life-style we wonder...

...is it that sloppy, that evil, or really that stupid?

It wasn’t until November 3, 2025, that I learned there was actually no document stating that I “caused no harm and had no ill intent.” For some random reason, I fed the document into Grok. I had fed it through ChatGPT many times and just believed it was correct, but even Grok and ChatGPT ended up debating the meaning of the April 2025 letter — it was funny to watch, and it mirrored what I’ve experienced for 4+ years with the 100+ documents the system mailed me. Legal documents can be so unclear that even AI struggles to interpret them. They were bickering, and Grok was quite disgusted with ChatGPT. 🤣

But beyond the confusion, I hope people won’t lose sight of the human side of this story.

I left Taiwan — a place I loved, a life I built over many years — not because I wanted to, but because it was better than the alternative. Everything I had worked for — my home, my students, my business, my community, my sense of belonging — disappeared and was destroyed over 4+ years just because I had the misfortune of encountering this landlord who tried to rob me and bully me. And the hardest part is knowing that the fear, pressure, and circumstances that led to all of this were never truly understood or considered. Ignoring a person who has 5+ witnesses should raise some eyebrows, and ignoring them — and also ignoring the plethora of video evidence, deeming it all unimportant to the case — is so wrong and really stinks to high heaven, people-are-going-to-talk-style! Not a good look for Taiwan at all.

Despite what anyone might allege, I don’t just go and share every embarrassing thing I record on social media. I didn’t share anything publicly for months. I tried to resolve everything quietly, respectfully, and privately. I only spoke out when I felt completely alone and unheard — when there were literally no alternatives. Because when you are in the midst of a scam, you are bound to feel trapped or in a position with no good way out, and I most certainly was.

I’m not asking anyone to take sides — only to see the human cost, and to imagine how any one of us might react under similar fear, confusion, and pressure. How heartbreaking that the very institution meant to protect me might just as well have been working for and with a landlord to destroy me. No judiciary should be so easily weaponized that it can selectively ignore and enforce laws at this joke-level and destroy the world I worked so hard to become a part of. It has been so difficult and heartbreaking that words cannot describe. So much damage over such a long period of time has been done. This is not just a simple “pay the fine and get on with your life” sort of fix.

No self-respecting person would want to spend another moment in a place where the judiciary could fail them this spectacularly, or invest any more of their time there. I’m just hopeful that somehow, Taiwan will redeem herself and I can return home — the only way I know that Taiwan could ever feel like home to me again. Until then, I really do feel quintessentially homeless. Cruelty on a level that pains me to think of.

Thank you for reading, and for keeping an open heart.
