@joeyyy771 So does Bradford J. Karony who is the senior director of National Security Operations at LMI and prior to that was the senior operations director of the CIA
If you're going to tell the events following the Korean War. Tell the entire truth. Dean Rusk, an american strategist for the State Department asked the Soviets to divide Korea at the 38th parallel. This was the domino effect that led to the war.
I wanted to watch the exchange as I'm about to read Pachinko and I felt it interesting to learn more about its author. What I did not expect was to be touched that deeply by this intelligent, funny, resilient woman, and feel that deep of a kinship. I am not Korean, nor Asian either, and not even American. But I am a daughter of hardworking immigrants, I lived in a humble household, and have made a good life for myself through the early understanding that education was key. What resonated so strongly was the end of the interview, because yes, I carry my parents with me. They are, in no small amount, the makers of my success in that they supported me so I could study and trusted me to find my path, even as they didn't understand it. So yes, they are with me, a constant reminder, even as things weren't always moonlight and roses between us, that I am the product of their education, that there's this constant sense of thankfulness towards them. My parents battles as immigrants, internal or otherwise, made me strong, empathetic and deeply understanding of the cultural sense of belonging and differences. I loved the insight into the Korean perspective of education, of what education should be. It has so many layers, historical, cultural, societal, that we, as Westerners, with our degree-of-separation understanding, aren't legitimately abilitated to comment upon. I'm looking forward to more such exchanges. Thank you.
Thank You! If more Americans understood the two thousand years of Korean history & it’s constant internal / external struggles, challenges, fortitude, survival and resilience like I have never seen over such an expanse of time to be where THEY are now. I believe Americans saw the steadfastness after their first bombardment and realized that no matter their loss of that fort Gangwha (1861), the American’s Respect of those Defenders never waned. As Americans we suffered our prejudices based on sex & color. VKoreans suffered it en mass thru a small percentage of affluent masters, those constantly taking the route of privileged classes rights over their servants to slaves. Whether neighbor, foe or king. Suffering from still trying to find their Freedom, holding their Unique Individuality precious no matter what happens. [Unity of Humanity is A Beacon - that is Real.] Blessings, Gg
This needs to be talked about more.. the way society pressures women and equates a woman’s worth to her appearance, and the way we feed into it, is keeping women down.
Really fun book, and a very interesting interview. Hopefully her other works get an English translation because I'm too old and slow to learn Korean...
Korea made the history of the ancient Chinese in Chaoxian 朝鮮 (Today Korea territory) into a historical TV series. Brainwashing foreigners. Korean tradition is a beautiful standard (Hanbok) for pure white clothes and women clothes to show their nipples (Westerners Record history photos). Ancient Korean traditional costumes are pure white (the Korean people have been known as the "White clothes ethnic 白衣民族-history record name" since ancient times), Korean women show their nipples to represent the beauty. All Women use their heads to move everything.This reflects the ancient Korean people and thoughts. Historically, Korean women's clothes show their nipples (about 11 years old. After they get married and have children), until they are old .(Westerners Record history photos).. Korean historical dramas are 95% fake. A large number of Chinese culture and Chinese historical elements are plagiarized directly. ------------------------ Real Korean traditional costumes (Hanbok) In ancient Korea name "朝鮮chaoxian" (one of ancient Chinese city), . "white-clothed ethnic 白衣民族" (Today Korean ancestors) wearing this fully chest exposed Korean dress (hanbok) is an "honor" for many Korean women - because she has a son! If the woman does not have a son or has daughters, she is not eligible to wear this kind of dew suit - only a korean woman who has a son is eligible to show her chest. So instead of feeling ashamed, these korean women in dew clothes have the feeling of "I'm proud of having a son! I want the world to know!" The meaning of. At that time, when there was no scientific contraceptive measures, the vast majority of Korean women would eventually give birth to a son, so the vast majority of Korean women could finally wear "proud" dew clothes. So this dew suit is the real traditional dress in Korea! Deliberately shirtless is a Korean tradition (hanbok), even in 2014. When the Pope visited South19 Korea, they also set up a "deliberately shirtless" statue to commemorate their tradition! ------------------------------ 1910. Japan has swallowed Korea. The Japanese believe that some of the low -level Korean traditional culture and primitive (women expose their nipples and transport things on their heads) are very primitive and backward. The Japanese banned Korean women from exposing the nipples (the traditional Korean costume. Hanbok). The Korean people strongly resisted. Koreans believe that this is a traditional culture of Korea. They insist on retention. In the Korean capital city. As long as the Japanese see those Korean women who show their nipples, they will give them penalties and slaps. After that, the Korean capital city gradually reduces Korean women's nipples. They cover the nipples with a piece of cloth. (But in the place where there are fewer Japanese soldiers. Korean women still maintain the traditional culture that exposes nipples). Until 1950, Westerners were still taking photos in Korea. A photo of Korean women showing nipples on the street (traditional Korean clothing). In 1970, this kind of Korean traditional culture disappeared completely. ** "white-clothed ethnic 白衣民族" in history = the ancestors of the Korean . ---------------------- Korea made the history of the ancient Chinese in Chaoxian 朝鮮 (Today Korea territory) into a historical TV series.specially used to create fake history (and culture) and brainwashing humans. South Korean historical dramas copy Chinese historical dramas by wearing clothes and headdresses that never appeared in Korea history. Many years ago, your Korean drama crew started to go to China to buy props that the Chinese crew did not want and shoot TV series in Chinese city Hengdian. Now there are even cultural relics of China's Han Dynasty in the Korean TV series. Koreans even copied the whole Hengdian, but Hengdian is all Chinese style architecture . Nnot only copy Chinese architecture, but also copy Chinese interior decoration. Chinese elements always appear in Korean TV dramas, such as ancient paintings, food, clothing, especially traditional clothes. Korean people often pretend to be the clothes and hairstyles of ancient Chinese people. Koreans have gone crazy, incorporate a lot of Chinese elements into TV dramas and claim that they are Korean. Koreans always give them barren history breast enhancement, just as Koreans are good at plastic surgery.
In the ancient Korea (Chaoxian朝鮮 -Real historical name, Chinese territory and the Chinese regio before 1910). In 918-1910. It was two different ethnic groups. 1.Chinese (Han Ethnic)(Wear color and pattern clothes) - Ruler and nobleman 2. Korean (White Clothes Ethnic)( Wear white clothes without pattern) - Civilians and slaves 1. Ruler and nobleman (Goguryeo高句麗 , Baekje百濟, Silla新羅 , Goryeo高麗, Joseon朝鮮=Chaoxian朝鮮 ..): Chinese local officials and nobles (royal members, monks, scholars, soldiers, architects, technicians, and their families ...). They are Chinese (Han) and their descendants born in the local area. They have always wore China in China costumes. They speak Chinese language (official and Han dialect) and Chinese characters. They are Chinese officials and represent the Chinese emperor's governance of the ancient Korean Peninsula (朝鮮). Local Chinese officials (Chaoxian king朝鮮王) and Chinese nobles in ancient Korea (Chaoxian 朝鮮-Chinese territory). They all Chinese clothes (hanfu), headdress (hat and crown), silk cloth (including embroidery), soldiers (such as: defensive clothing, horses). Weapons (including cannons), Chinese literature books (including Chinese history, Taoism Buddhism), Chinese special architectural materials (including palaces and design paintings). Food materials (Chinese food and Chinese royal food), wooden wheels used, large military ships, etc. are made from other cities in China). Among them, the Chinese royal's (Chaoxian king /officials and nobles) Hanfu comes from Chinese han clothes, opera clothing, and hat crown headwear. Therefore, the fabric on the clothes is high -level. There are a large number of Chinese official dragon patterns and various traditional Chinese patterns (including Chinese characters) on the clothes. 2. Civilians and slaves (Goryeo高麗, Joseon=Chaoxian朝鮮 ..only appeared in history after the 13th century): Civilians and slaves are indigenous Koreans (White Clothes Ethnic白衣民族). They speak Korean language. Long -term banned learning and use of Chinese characters 漢字(except a few descendants of mixed with Chinese people). Korean people cannot use any pattern of Chinese imperial power. 龍dragon and 鳯phoenix. In ancient times, this was a beheading and destroyer. * Chinese patterns and Dragon's totem represents the symbol of the ancient Chinese and Chinese power. Korean people cannot use any pattern of Chinese imperial power. 龍dragon and 鳯phoenix. Only the Chinese royal family and senior officers can use it. If the "White clothes Ethnic 白衣民族" (today's ancestors of Koreans) use the pattern of dragon and use Chinese characters. They will destroy the tribe and beheaded. Korean characters韓字 are text used by slaves. Ancient Korean can only use Korean characters (after the 15th century. Chinese officials - Chaoxian king and Chinese scholars who settled on the Chaoxian朝鮮 . Chinese officials use Chinese characters and Korean language to create "Korean characters韓字 ".) for slaves. These low Korean soldiers are used to protect the Chaoxian Peninsula 朝鮮半島(Chinese territory) to prevent Japanese pirates from invasion. In ancient Korea (Chaoxian朝鮮 ) does not have any technologies and processes such as metal , Bend the wood and dye embroidery patterns. Most Korean men became low -level soldiers in the Chinese army (under the command of Chinese officers). There is no armor. Korean only wear pure white clothes and korean women's clothing is exposed nipples (Hanbok - Features of traditional Korean clothes). All Korean women use their heads to move anything (similar to other primitive tribal culture). Korean houses are cottage built with grass (only Chinese can live in Chinese palaces and temples). Korean people earn food in the market concentrated on exchanging items. They do not have any coins and any metal things. South Korea's national culture and tools for use are very primitive. * Chinese patterns and dragon totems represent the ancient Chinese and symbols of Chinese power. Only the Chinese royal family and high-ranking military officers can use them. If the "White clothes Ethnic 白衣民族" (today's ancestors of Koreans) use dragon patterns and use Chinese characters ((In addition to the mulattoes and those working in the Chinese palace)), they will be exterminated. and beheaded. Writing history is the tradition and habit of the ancient Chinese. The history of the ancient Korean Peninsula was written by classical Chinese. This was read for the Chinese and must be approved for the Chinese emperor. This is a record and governance story of Chinese officials and nobles on the ancient Korean Peninsula. -------------------- Anceint japan (before 13th century )= 東瀛 & 扶桑 & 倭 .
