 [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/shadowsocks/shadowsocks-iOS.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/shadowsocks/shadowsocks-iOS)
 
+Important note
+--------------
+This project has been forked from its original repository on August 22nd 2015,
+shortly after fellow GitHub user @clowwindy has been asked by Beijing Central
+Government to remove everything of the shadowsocks project.
+
+Since then, this project has not been maintained by me or others, but many
+forks happened to spread the code; each maintained with different quality and
+purpose. However, as nobody oversees these projects, nobody should trust or rely
+on these forked projects.
+
+You can clearly see and proof that I forked the shadowsocks projects directly
+from the original author, just before he had to close most of his projects.
+Feel free to use his code for your own adaptions or to learn how your government
+tries to protect you from dangerous ideas, like alternate beliefs, the disease
+to speek freely (which infested the whole western hemisphere) or the joy of sex
+and watching others having sex.
+
+My thoughts and prayers extend to everyone fighting for a better future for
+their society as well as to every victim of arbitrary province lords
+incarcerating the workers class in the name of the workers class' party.
+
+Never give up <3
