The Giant In Search for its Soul- The Good, Bad & Ugly of Asias Great War
2015-09-02
It was Pax Mongolia, then Pax Europa, Then Pax Americana, are you ready for Pax ASEANA?
War is a very tragic. (THE BAD)
The elders created it,
their children suffered through it,
and the generations that followed were defined by it.
WHAT MAKES THE TRAGEDY MEANINGFUL are THE LESSONS LEARNED
SHALL WE GET TRAPPED IN THE PAST AND USE SPECIFIC ugly IMAGES TO FAN THE HATRED AND FORGET THE LESSONS?
- shall we denounce the GREAT WALL just because many innocent lives were sacrificed building it?
- why do we celebrate Cao Cao as unifier of China who is his short reign cause so much sufferings
among the Chinese. That we now have a unified weight, language, transport infrastructure and languages is due
to Cao Cao.
- There is no nation today that did not have their own blood bath that eventually settled who and what
they are today. Even Genghis Khan had to kill his half brother and massacre entire tribes to achieve the unity
of an empire considered to be still the largest land based empire in all human history. Same can be said prior to
Pax Europa, and similarly PAX Americana.
...... Two OF MY UNCLES Were TORTURED AND EVENTUALLY EXECUTED.
three of my aunts were raped and ed in a well.
my family contributed about 25,000 dollars in 1945 (see below) to resist the Japanese Imperial Threat.
EMPHASIS : RESIST THE JAPANESE IMPERIAL THREAT....NOT FIGHT JAPANESE as a people.
UNITY AMONGST FELLOWMEN OVER COMMON GROUNDS IS THE STRUGGLE
==================
China as ONE against Invaders
==============================
A DISTANT RELATIVE, BECAME OUR MODEL AND OUR STRUGGLE WENT OVERSEAS TO SINGAPORE, HONG KONG, PHILIPPINES, AND EVEN INDONESIA.
Lin Cheng-heng, son of martyr Lin Tsu-mi, commander of the Minnan armed forces, renounced the pen to join the War of Resistance Against Japan. This led to many Fujian Overseas Chinese in their resistance against Japan Imperialism.
Ma Ji Yuan: a Taiwan anti-Japanese family for 120 years _ a consensus network stick
1937...Tawanese Resistance during Full-Scale Invasion of Japan, in That year, Lin Zhengheng Admitted to Nanjing Military Academy, in 1939 after graduating to join the Anti-Japanese war. In 1940, Lin Zhengheng participated in Journal Kunlunguan war exploits, was Promoted lieutenant.
===============================
WHILE KOREA AND TAIWAN, WHO ARE JAPANeSe COLONIES AT THAT TIME, WERE UNWILLING ALLIES. THEY TOO RESISTED. Koreans and Taiwanese have as much hatred for Japanese atrocities in the 1020s but in the 1970s and 1980s they modeled their industries to Japan and LG. Samsung, ACER, FOXCONN became household names. Shall we move on or shall we get stuck with fuming hatred as the world pass us by?
Korean Resistance
THE FIGHT CONTINUES AS OTHER POWERS SEEK TO ENSLAVE CHINA OR ASIA.
Have you ever wonder that China needs a moral philosophy as did ancient China who uses Confucianism, Taoism, to unify the Nation spiritually and culturally?
THERE IS A LIMIT TO LEADER DENGS BLACK CAT/WHITE CAT PHILOSOPHY as Leader Xi is now limiting black cats who have became black rats/tigers.
WHAT ARE THE COMMON GROUNDS THAT WE STRUGGLE FOR? QUALITY OF LIFE? , SECURITY OF FOOD, EDUCATION, CULTURAL EXPRESSIONS ? HATRED OF JAPANESE PER SE WOULD NOT HELP US REACH THIS GOAL.
The Chinese soul is now in anguish. No amount of money can make it happy nor united. The concept if LOVE your COUNTRY need be enhanced. By fanning hatred of Japanese may not be enough to ensure one love China.
yes The Japanese Imperial Army ( not all Japanese) are evil They did it also for their own survival. Had it not been for Japans bold challenges to the Europeans in the great War, there would not be so many independent Asian nations as there are today.
HAVE YOU EVER WONDER IF THERE IS A UNITED JAPAN, KOREA, TAIWAN, AND CHINA FRONT?
IT IS ALREADY HAPPENING IN THE economic, CULTURAL, MUSICAL ARENAS.
Have we learn our lessons?
