Editors’ Note

Some of our friends were asking,“Why is your newsletter named ‘Mars News’in Chinese?”

You know, it is sad to say, actually!

Why? It was because migrant workers are often called alien in English. And it is some kind of prejudice, meaning something like monsters.

So while the editorial members discussed about the title of the newsletter, it came to our mind suddenly that people said most of the aliens were from Mars, right? So let's just name it the〈Mars News〉in Chinese.

On the other hand, the planet like Mars, though is small, yet important.

As for a newsletter, the meaning is not bad.

So, now you know the whole story of the〈Mars News〉.
