today’s a public holiday in hong kong.
which one? it’s a really strange one. it’s my first one and my last one. we only have it this year. it’s the 70th anniversary of Japan’s surrender.
two weeks ago, according an op-ed in a Party sponsored newspaper, Japan is forgetting its history:
A great country and nation has the courage to face up to its history. To forget history is to betray, and to deny a crime is to repeat it.
earlier this week, according to Baidu, the only significant events that happened on June 4th, 1989?
-
Walesa being elected in Poland as premier
Ayatollah Khomeini being chosen as Iran’s supreme leader.
that’s really not okay.
after all, a great country and nation has the courage to face up to its history. to forget history is to betray, and to deny a crime is to repeat it.
thanks to fei chang dao for inspiring this post.
