此地无银三百两

Up to now , we have read many discussions focusing on :
1.        Whether  Mr. Lee is an abuser, the arguments that follow are that
a)        If he is an abuser, the film should be launched and 51 followers feel that it is then justified that his story is exposed.
b)        If he is not an abuser, the arguments that follow are that  the launching of the film is intruding the rights and privacy of Mr. Lee, and therefore, the film should be stopped.

2.        What does a ‘No Contact Order’ indicate? The reasons  we are focusing on this argument  is because :
a)        Mr. Lee is  unwilling to disclose the clear  verdict and judgement of the Crown  re.his domestic violence case to 51 readers and the media . His revelation has been dubious. If he were someone who was looking for true justice and genuine support in 51 against injustice, he would be revealing full details of his legal  case to the readers for a fair and constructive discussion. Instead, he manipulates many readers and leaves  the  readers guessing his criminal and moral stands,  sparking off  grapevine, through which, Mr. Lee tries to extract  words that he might be able to  exploit to his advantage.
b)        51 readers are trying to find out if  he is truly an abuser or if  he has performed  any act violating the laws of Domestic Assault.

So following the above tracks, 51 readers have spoken on and on…….

While many readers are very  involved with Mr. Lee’s own innocent and emotional plea,  some of us sit back and look at other essential , vital and objective facts in his protest against the launching of the film  :

1.        The Chinese Canadian National Council(CCNC)- 平权会  made that film to campaign for anti- domestic violence. The purpose of the film is to reveal how violence can happen, how the legal system handles it , how a case involving domestic violence can hurt a family, children and adults alike(both man and woman), how the fragile societal groups could suffer more physical damage and how we should change our awareness ,moral and cultural value to promote domestic harmony. The film is about an abuse  process, consequence, legal procedures , and societal value that forms the moral foundation for Canadian healthy living.

2.        The film may as well be concerned about a domestic violence incident  irrespective of whether the abuser is being convicted or not. In fact, if the abuser is not convicted, there is even more reason for the film to be made, to tell the whole world that abusers very often do get away with crimes, and that the degree of abuse varies, it does not have to have resulted in conviction.


3.         Regarding the production of the film :
•        The film producer has a right to choose any actress to shoot the film, and in this case, they choose Amanda.
•        The film producer has a right to make up any story and/or choose any story for production( whether real or fake).  In this case the CCNC, CFSO and Amanda came out to publicize  that she herself as an actress had bitter experience of domestic assault, and that the film was  related ( and only related) to Amanda.  By lobbying  these facts, they are not doing something illegal or immoral because legally this is true.
•        These organizations probably did not address that the story of the film is confirmed by Mr. Lee, and they did not publicize that the partner who was involved in the film was  Mr. Lee ( even if they have announced Mr. Lee’s name, I believe it is legitimate  because this is a Crown’s case that has been sentenced .) Moreover, the CCNC is producing a film based on  information revealed by a legal case which has already been sentenced  and is now legally permissible for the public to  scrutinize . So either way, whether the film is fake or true , or half fake half true, or all fake , or all true, the CCNC and CFSO are  making a film that is legal and illegitimate.


Unfortunately, or fortunately, a Mr. Lee came on to the media out of the blues and claim that he is the  husband of  the actress and started to declare war on CCNC …... .

Without identifying himself,  his daughter might not have fallen to be the victim of the limelight, and would not be to such a great extent if he did not publish his own family, intimate, romantic and womanizing stories . By doing so, obviously Mr. Lee’s integrity is subject to questions too by the public and 51 readers . And it seems that now Mr. Lee has difficulty in accepting the consequence of his own action.

By saying ‘fortunately’, I am pointing out that as an impartial reader, just like many others, who seeks to stand by truth and justice, Mr. Lee’s foolish defence of  self-proclaimed innocence  in the media has  only allowed many of us to unfold the untrustworthiness of his character.

CCNC and CFSO have not violated Mr. Lee’s right . Mr. Lee has abused the freedom of speech in Canada and the sympathy given to him by 51 readers to further mentally and emotionally abuse his own family and in particular, his daughter. He is therefore an ABUSER.
