For most fans and followers of US President Barack Obama here in Hong Kong, it is well known that his half brother lives just across the border in Shenzhen.

Mark Okoth Obama Ndesandjo has made the special economic zone his home for the past seven years. In this interview with Dan Kadison, this once publicity-shy younger brother to the US president reveals a little more about himself.

Ndesandjo talks about domestic violence, his life in Shenzhen and his recently completed semi-autobiographic novel, Nairobi to Shenzhen. He also discusses President Obama's forthcoming visit to China and what it's been like living in Shenzhen.

專訪奧巴馬胞弟

香港的奧巴馬支持者大都知道，這位美國總統有位同父異母的胞弟--馬克（Mark Okoth Obama Ndesandjo）。馬克七年前移居深圳，並以當地為家。在今次專訪視頻中，向來作風低調的馬克將暢談他的生活點滴，包括在深圳的生活、以及他最近完成的半自傳式小說。­他還談到對家庭暴力的看法、奈羅比和深圳的分別，以及對美國總統奧巴馬本週訪華的期望。

Considering how poor they all were, how difficult life was for them being half and half, with all the racism on both sides... and then realize, how brilliant, talented, well-spoken they are, makes us realize that it is neither riches nor race that determine character. It is heart.

@butelezi00roman he's an ungrateful idiot out to sell a book. The traitorous coward knows the keywords that will sell his shitty book. People need to have dignity and this fool has none.

[societybay]

This guy is a moron. I was born in Africa and a child who doesn't listen get a spanking. He was born in Africa and hate Africa so much. Barack Obama does not hate Africa compared to this moron. If Barack Obama was living in the streets I don't see him even wanting to know Barack Obama.
