1. Chinese Verse of the Day:
李煜 (937 - 978)
虞美人
春花秋月何時了，往事知多少？
小樓昨夜又東風，故國不堪回首月明中。
雕闌玉砌應猶在，只是朱顏改。
問君能有幾多愁？恰似一江春水向東流。
2. Last week, I joined one of my younger brothers and his family on their annual vacation to Canon Beach, Oregon.
The Oregon coastline was very beautiful.
On Wednesday's afternoon (July 3, 2013), we picnic at Ecola State Park which is an Oregon state park adjacent to Canon Beach.
For those whom have not been to Canon Beach, I can only assure you that the actual scenery of Canon Beach is no less stunning than the following photograph:

3. Amidst all this beautiful scenery my brother spotted some litter and he took photographs of it:

The litter is a finished tetrapak box of Vitasoy beverage.
Vitasoy is a very well-known brand name in Hong Kong and some of their products are available in Asian stores and supermarkets in North America.
("Vitasoy", Wikipedia): "Vitasoy (Chinese: 維他奶; Cantonese Yale: wàih tā náaih) (SEHK: 0345) is a brand of beverages and desserts in Hong Kong. Founded in 1940, it now operates under the Vitasoy International Holdings Limited based in Hong Kong."

Although anyone can buy a Vitasoy product and threw it away at Oregon's Ecola State Park, it was most likely done by a Chinese person.
As a person of Chinese ancestry, I am embarrassed by the littering.
