China builds a memorial hall for a Korean patriot Ahn Jung-geun
A memorial hall honoring one of Korea's most famous independence fighters has opened in northeastern China.
This development is likely to aggravate Korea and China's already frosty relations with Japan.
Shin Se-min has more.
A memorial hall honoring Korean patriot Ahn Jung-geun has opened in the northeastern Chinese city of Harbin.
The city's railway station is where, in 1909, Ahn shot and killed Hirobumi Ito,... who had served as the prime minister of Japan FOUR times before becoming resident-general of Korea in 1905.
The memorial hall consists of exhibition rooms telling the story of Ahn's life, and shows the exact spot where the shooting took place.
The facility was built after President Park Geun-hye brought up the idea of creating a monument for Ahn during her meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping last June.
Hailed as a hero in Korea and China, Ahn is considered a murderer by many Japanese.
Tokyo had asked Beijing to scrap plans to build the memorial.
In the meantime, Beijing and Tokyo continue to be at each other's throats over a variety of issues, including Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's recent visit to the Yasukuni war shrine which honors Japan's war dead, as well as several Class A war criminals.
Japan's ambassador to the U.S. fired the latest salvo, accusing China of a misled campaign that falsely portrays Abe as glorifying Tokyo's militaristic past.
Both Japan and China have come under international scrutiny in recent months.
Japan for Abe's Yasukuni visit, and China for its recent demarcation of a new air defense zone over a disputed area of the East China Sea.
Seoul and Beijing have condemned Japanese politicians' visits to the Yasukuni Shrine and for Tokyo's refusal to apologize for the nation's wartime atrocities.

Movement to designate February 14 'Ahn Jung-geun Day'
Today is Valentine's Day, a day for couples to tell or show their partner how much they love him or her.
As well as enjoying this tradition, Koreans also consider February 14th to be of great historical significance as this was this day... in 1910... that one of Korea's most-loved independence fighters was sentenced to death.
Connie Kim reports. February 14th may be an important date to remember for couples to exchange chocolates and cards, but a growing number of Koreans are calling for it to also be remembered as the day Korean independence
fighter Ahn Jung-geun was sentenced to death by the Japanese.
Ahn was executed for assassinating Hirobumi Ito, a four-time Prime Minister of Japan and former Resident-General of Korea, in the Chinese city of Harbin in October 1909.
Efforts to commemorate Ahn's death are being made offline and online.
The Gyeonggi-do Provincial office of Education has placed poster of Ahn's famous left hand print in newspapers informing people of the historical significance of February 14th.
The image shows Ahn's hand print with a half-cut ring finger.
Ahn cut his finger off to show his determination to make Korea an independent country.
Koreans have also been taking to Facebook and Twitter to post comments raising awareness of the day.
Ahn is a highly respected figure not only in Korea but also in China.
A memorial hall honoring Ahn opened in January in Harbin, the city where Ahn shot down Ito.
Hailed as a hero in Korea and China, Ahn is less well remembered in Japan.
Responding to news of the memorial hall, Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga called Ahn a terrorist and expressed deep regret about Beijing's decision to approve the opening of the memorial hall.

China's Lost Generation
Support us and the channel on Paypal!
Most people acknowledge the gap between age groups. Each generation has it's differences. However, under Mao's China, people born in the 1950s, and 1960s had a particularly different upbringing.
Schools were closed, and madness and violence spread amongst the youth, or Red Guard, who were encouraged to denounce and even beat intellectuals and teachers.
From there, they learned a very different attitude compared to the normally confucian culture that China typically had.
Today we talk about why the younger generation calls these people, The Lost Generation
Living in China for so long, we would like to share some of the comparisons that we have found between China and the west, and shed some light on the situation.

Sun Yatsen Mausoleum in Nanjing, China
An astonishing sight at the top of an enormous stone stairway (a breathless 392 steps), Sun Yatsen's tomb is a mandatory stop for Chinese visitors. Reverentially referred to as guófù (国父; 'Father of the Nation'), Dr Sun is esteemed by both communists and Kuomintang. He died in Běijīng in 1925, and had wished to be buried in Nánjīng, no doubt with far less pomp than the Ming-style tomb his successors fashioned for him. Within a year of his death, however, construction of this mausoleum began.

Graffiti is an amazing art to me. You can do it on the wall outdoors and you can make the wall beautiful. Every graffitist has his own style and preference and he can present his own image on the wall. In the world of graffiti everyone is equal to show his design and share his understanding on art in a very straight way. For me, it is the happiest thing to share my happiness with others by graffiti.

Many parents in China still think graffiti is not something decent and don't want their kids to do this. I want to show people that graffiti really involves a lot of things like art, skills and talents, and it is a pretty cool thing to do for the young people.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: CHINA: CHINESE GRAFFITI
Mandarin/Nat
Beijing, 24-25th march
CHINA PRODUCES IT'S OWN UNDISCOVERED BASQUAIT.
In a country like China -- where culture and art remain under strict government control -- street art and graffiti have no place. But one artist has been braving the Beijing authorities for the past four years, leaving his tags on walls all over the city.
Thirty-six-year-old ZHANG DALI is determined to hold a dialogue with all of Beijing's citizens -- through his graffiti. Zhang's now-famous head profiles and tags grace the walls of highway underpasses.
To symbolise the rash commercialism and get rich quick atmosphere of China, 18K is Zhang's newest tag. Another of his tags, AK-47, stands for violence and hooligan culture -- not the usual images associated with Beijing.
But Zhang Dali maintains that violence, chaos and materialism are growing everywhere around him.
Traditionally, walls in Communist China have been an exclusive venue for government propaganda. Usually relaying the latest government slogans, more modern billboards and electronic marquees adorn the capital.
One billboard tells the people to create famous Chinese brands of goods and show the world Chinese success. It's a perfect example of the government's push towards commercialism.
The posters are also the vehicle of the government's changing whims. The latest campaigns urge people to pay their taxes and be self-disciplined. It's a policy which Zhang Dali says leaves no room for art.
No room for art either on the hundreds of construction sites in Beijing, or in the commercial centres sprouting all over the city which offer luxury goods most people can't even dream of affording.
If some people describe Beijing as one huge construction site, Zhang Dali maintains that it is one huge demolition site. One by one, Beijing's old neighbourhoods are falling under the bulldozers.
Even once sacrosanct neighbourhoods such as this one near the Forbidden City, cannot escape destruction. The walls of the remains of the houses have become a new venue for Zhang's tags.
Apart from the obvious displacement of those who are forced to move, this demolition also has serious social consequences.
The dust and rubble of demolition sites have inspired Zhang Dali to adopt new graffiti techniques. Here the spray can has been subsituted for a sledge-hammer.
With the help of two workers, Zhang works on his trademark figure of a head on the wall of a half-standing house. Nearby, an omnipresent yellow bulldozer is busy clearing rubble. The closer it gets, the more passion goes into Zhang's hammer.
With workers echoing his movements all around, Zhang Dali's newest head is sure to live a very short life.
But adding a painted head for good measure, Zhang believes this short life will have been long enough to create a dialogue with anyone who passes by.
It may be a small victory. But with every head and every tag, Zhang Dali feels he is winning a battle against the unconscious, violent urbanisation of Beijing.

Joan on working on the Liberation movement in Yanan 1948
Joan Hinton Interview with Neil Burton (edited from tape 8, 10-27 minutes).
Joan describes arriving to Yanan to help the Communist in the liberation areas and the work that was to be done.
Joan was to make a dump cart for coal and describes the change from working on the atom bomb in Alamos (USA in 1945) to pre-industrial China, 1948.
Joan recalls that in Los Alamos we had all the stuff and making a bomb which killed 150000, one shot. Here, they were building a new world from nothing
“There’s all energy, the US government was putting in to make something to destroy mankind and here, all this energy of all these people was, starting at zero to create mankind. Two opposites”
40 Years and Counting IV: Social Reform in the New Era
Chinese people demand better healthcare, education, social security; a cleaner environment; and reduced disparities between rich and poor. We view social reform through the lens of the “Principal Contradiction,” which is now “between unbalanced and inadequate development and the people’s ever-growing needs for a better life.” Success will be measured by the satisfaction of the people. Will “satisfaction” be hard to judge? Chinese people are not shy.

Tiananmen Square and The Great Wall of China
Like what we do? Please Donate:
After 3 days of torrential downpour in Beijing, our last full day was a beautiful one and the perfect time to hit up Tiananmen Square and the Badaling section of The Great Wall! As you'll see, walking into one of the world's largest open square isn't just a quick walk and you're there. We were pushed and shoved for a good 30 minutes before we made it there. Luckily for us, we got good at the China way of lining up which is every person for themselves (throw dem bows!) At first, this was total culture shock but surprisingly by the end of our time in China we got used to it and just went with the flow. It's amazing what you can get used to. As soon as we crossed the street, the reality of where we were started to sink in. Tiananmen square is known by many for the role it played as the focal point of the 1989 student led pro democracy movement. The protests were sparked by the sudden death of the former Communist party general secretary and liberal reformer Hu Yaobang, after university students began to gather in the square en masse. The protesting lasted for 7 weeks throughout Beijing until a military crackdown on the protests was ordered by the top level leadership of the Chinese Communist Party. Shockingly, things came to a bloody conclusion when the military began firing on unarmed civilians on the night on June 3. The violence continued for another day as the PLA continued clearing protesters from in, and around the Square. The following day on June 5th, the iconography of the Tiananmen square massacre was solidified when a picture of of a lone man blocking a column of tanks leaving the sqaure was taken.
While we were in the square, cameras and armed guards watched our every move... this was made all the more chilling considering that the Chinese government continues to go to great lengths to censor this historical event from public memory. To this day Google, Youtube, twitter, facebook, etc. are all still BLOCKED... so if you would like to know more about this atrocity, we encourage you to exercise your freedom to information and get to Googling. We weren't able to give this subject it's due justice with this video, and the memory of the Tiananman square massacre needs to live on.
The wall was the perfect way to end the day and it was made all the better knowing we did it independently and saved ourselves a small fortune. There are dozens of tours, but do your homework and you can easily tackle this wonder all by yourself and take your time. At the end of the day, we spent only $22 - that's admission, transportation, and really expensive water and ice cream bought at the wall.

Call for Incinerating Mao's Remains according to His Unfulfilled Wish
During this year's sessions of the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) National People's Conference (NPC) and Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), Zhang Lifan,a historian researching the CCP's history, and Beijing laywer Pu Zhiqiang published an Internet motion for cremating Chairman Mao Zedong's dead body and stated this was Mao's lifelong wish.
Pu Zhiqiang told our reporter, Mao Zedong's dead body should be incinerated either from the view of realizing the unfulfilled wish of the deceased,
or following the traditional ritual Burial brings peace to the deceased,
or even examining history.
On April 27 of 1956, Mao Zedong wrote an article Call for Implementing Cremationand signed an initiative of cremation.The initiative says, all public employees agreeing to cremation are requested to sign. All those people with signatures on the initiative agree to allow cremation for themselves after death.The later deceased must secure the cremation wishes
of the earlier deceased.
Mao Zedong first signed himself on the initiative.Following Mao, Zhu De, Peng Dehuai, Deng Xiaoping etc.all signed with a total of 136 signatures.
The initiative is compiled into the sixth volume of Mao Zedong's Manuscripts After 1949.
The motion says, the current way of dealing with Mao's remains violates Mao's wishmust execute the cremation after death.In addition, all other co-signers have not fulfilled the agreement The later deceased must secure the cremation wishes of the earlier deceased.
Such a result not only violates the agreement from a legal perspective, but also disobeys the traditional rituals Dead men are heavier and Burial brings peace to the deceased. Either in ancient society or in modern society,to publicly exhibit a dead body for a long time is uncivilized and inhuman.
Pu Zhiqiang: As the central axis of China,Tian'Anmen is located with such a building Chairman Mao's Memorial Hall, which is actually not compliant with Chinese traditional culture. In the past, in Beijing there is almost no such sort of tomb on the central axis from Jiang Hill's Bell & Drum Building
to Tiantan & Tian'Anmen.The emperors of the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty were buried in Ming Tombs and Eastern Qing Tombs, which are exclusively used for burying emperors.So putting Mao Zedong's remains in such a place first violates Mao's wish, and secondly disobeys Chinese traditional rituals and rules.
The motion also points out, after Mao took power,he broke the original promise of implementing democracy and constitutional politics which was made
before the CCP took power.He rejected the Common Program of establishing a new country and the National Constitution,and then developed his personal monocracy and adoration.For a long time he ruled the country via class warfare and all sorts of political movements, which resulted in the economic disaster of Big Leap and the Great Famine with the unnatural deaths of millions and millions of Chinese people.
He also plunged the entire country and people into the havoc of the Cultural Revolution for a ten-year period.
The motion points out, the authorities maintain Mao's remains and evade the historical questioning, which is adverse to examining history
and deepening reform, as well as to the social progress of China.
Pu Zhiqiang: In China, all major political movements including Anti-Rightists, Suppressing Anti-Revolutonists Cultural Revolution and a series of other movements of going against the historical trend were all launched by him.
Mao's body has been put there without cremation,and this actually produces a sort of split into the people's psychological thinking.In my heart, Mao Zedong is not better than Hitler.In fact, when we criticize Japanese not wanting to
examine history, we tend to say that Germany reflected on the history of Nazis slaughtering Jews.However, does China reflect on the history of Mao Zedong
poisoning the world? Actually, no.
The motion suggests cremating Mao's remains and the ashes passed to his family to bury in his hometown.The Chairman Mao Memorial Hall will be transformed
into China's Museum of Cultural Revolution.
Pu Zhiqiang says, they hope the representatives of NPC & CPPCC will consider the motion.But till now there is no representative to liaise with them.
According to investigation, four national leaders'dead bodies of monocratic countries have been moved out from crystal coffins.Czechoslovakia's leader Gottwald's remains were cremated in 1956 by the new leaders of the country.
In 1961 the 22nd Plenary Session of the Soviet Union Communist Party approved a proposal: Stalin's dead body was moved out from the crystal coffin. Bulgaria Communist Party leader Dimitrov was moved out and cremated by his family in 1990.Mongolia leader Choibalsan's dead body was cremated in 2005,.
Mao Mausoleum As World Heritage Criticized
Follow us on TWITTER:
Like us on FACEBOOK:
Recently, it became popular in China to apply for
World Heritage sites.
The Mao Mausoleum at Tiananmen Square is also included
in the construction list of the Central Line of Beijing,
in which the Beijing government plans to apply for
World Heritage sites.
Chinese netizens have reacted strongly to this news.
Some remarked that, the CCP is trying to popularize
a devilish murderer who is much worse than Hitler;
this is making a fool of international society and
humiliating the whole of human civilization.
The Central Line, also called backbone of Beijing,
extends 7.8 kilometers from Yongding Gate in the south
to the Drum Tower and the Bell Tower in the north.
According to a Beijing News report, Lu Zhou, chief of
Tsinghua National Heritage Center who is writing the application materials for Central Line,
revealed that the road was expected to be added into
the recommended list of World Heritage sites in 2014.
Lu also mentioned that, besides the constructions from
Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasty,
some modern buildings are also listed in applications
for World Heritage sites, including
the Monument to the People's Heroes, the Great Hall of
the People, the National Museum and the Mao Mausoleum.
Lu claimed that, the Mao Mausoleum was the most
important construction project on Central Line in the 1970s;
it is applied for as a World Heritage site because it reflects
the effect of Central Line on the constructions of Beijing.
A Beijing dissident Li Jincheng remarked that, as Mao has
committed monstrous crimes,
it is a humiliation to humanity to make a memorial to him a
World Heritage site.
(Li Jincheng, Beijing dissident):After the CCP came into
power, they committed monstrous crimes.
Tens of Millions of people starved to death between
1958 and 1962.
It ( CCP )almost killed 80 million people but many Chinese
still don't know about it because the CCP has hidden the truth by distorting history.
If the Mao Mausoleum really becomes a World Heritage site,
there will be no justice left in this world.
Internet writer Jing Chu remarked that, Mao Zedong can be
regarded as a devilish murderer a hundred times worse than Hitler;
popularizing him globally is making a fool of
international society.
(Jing Chu, internet writer) says: Mao showed no conscience
throughout his life as he wrecked our country and people.
He never did anything good for the Chinese people.
Instead he only brought us blood and tears.
Mao is an absolute disaster to all Chinese.
How can it be not a bad joke to honor the memory
of such a murderer with a World Heritage site?
Last April, a famous Chinese economist Mao Yushi wrote
an article Recover Mao's truth as a human:
Reading the book 'Fall of the Red Sun'.
In the article, he remarked that Mao's fake divinity
would finally be eliminated and that he would be brought to justice.
In Mao Yushi's article, he listed Mao's crimes after
the CCP came into power.
The list includes the Great Leap Forward campaign which
led to a 3-year famine and starved 30 million to death,
the Cultural Revolution which killed 50 million in
it's many class conflict movements.
Furthermore, Mao was extremely licentious
but no one dared to criticize him.
Mao Yushi wrote that, Even so, the portrait of
that evil leader still hangs on Tiananmen today.
Earlier, a Beijing writer Tie Liu initiated a signature
movement calling for bringing Mao's crimes to justice,
moving his body out of the Mausoleum and
removing his portrait from Tiananmen.
(Jing Chu, internet writer) says: Mao's body should be
moved out from his crystal coffin and be lashed by all Chinese people to express their grudge against him.
The application for the Mao Mausoleum as a World
Heritage site induced hot discussion on the Internet.
Since many netizens argued strongly against the plan,
the authorities had to delete relevant posts and
close the comments on many news websites.
Even so, numerous posts against the plan
were still left on micro-blog sites.
Some netizen said, The Mausoleum should be pulled down.
Another replied, it's a waste to pull down the building;
it's better to make it a museum of the 10-year disastrous
period following the Cultural Revolution,
warning that period's generation not to let this happen again.
Some ironic post said, I suggest also applying for
Mao's body to be a World Heritage site,
with the reason that 'this person had inherited all the cruelty,
craftiness and treachery in Chinese history.'

Chinese Communist Regime Interferes With June 4 Massacre Commemoration
Follow us on TWITTER:
Like us on FACEBOOK:
On June 4 when the Chinese were commemorating the 25th
Anniversary of the June 4 Massacre, Beijing put forward
serious measures to conceal its brutal killings 25 years ago.
Not only were many activists arrested prior to June 4,
but also the police mobilized to stop people from
participating in any relevant activities.
In Beijing, a large number of police were deployed
to conduct stability maintenance on June 4.
Police and plainclothes police were seen throughout
Tiananmen Square, government buildings and the business
districts along with armed forces patrolling in the city.
Activist Hu Jia has been under house arrest.
He conducted his own 'June 4' commemoration
at home with a vigil and hunger strike.
Having proposed an event called 'Return to Tiananmen
in Black,' Hu Jia was under strict monitoring from Beijing.
Hu Jia, Beijing activist: Two plainclothes (police) are sitting
in front of my apartment.
When I went downstairs to throw out trash, I saw four or five
in the yard, also outside of the yard, and a number
of marked and unmarked police cars.
To commemorate the 25th anniversary of June 4,
'Return to Tiananmen' activities were initiated by activists
both at home and abroad.
People were called on to dress in black to mourn
the Tiananmen Square victims.
On the afternoon of June 4, Chinese netizen Huang Bin
dressed in black and went to the Square.
He stayed in the Square for more than an hour.
Huang Bin: I feel that there were more soldiers and police.
Of course, there were many plainclothes (officers)
and the security check was very strict.
Everyone was commanded to swipe their ID upon entering
the Square.
Foreigners were required to show their passports.
Inside the Square, many people were subject to further
passport and ID checks.
Many netizens went to Tiananmen Square wearing black
sunglasses, black shirts and pants.
Hong Kong's Apple Daily reported that Beijing police
detained two on-duty Reuters reporters near
Tiananmen Square;
A British Sky Television photographer and reporter were
also obstructed during their work east of Tiananmen Square
and were subjected to identity verification.
Meanwhile, online censorship is tighter.
Any post regarding June 4 was subject to deletion
and blockage, including those with the key words
25th Anniversary, Candle, Candle Light, Today,
and May 35 Days (indicating the number of days since
the start of the 1989 Student Movement).
Beijing has mobilized armored vehicles, helicopters,
armed police, 650 police dogs, and 950,000 Beijing residents
in stability maintenance prior to June 4.
On top of the wantonly arrest of civilian activists,
the Tiananmen Mothers have been subject to close
monitoring, house arrest or have been banned from
returning home in Beijing.
Meanwhile, Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic
Democratic Movements in China (HK Alliance) organized
a 3,000 participant demonstration in Hong Kong on June 1
to commemorate the 25th Anniversary.
HK Alliance also held a candlelight vigil on the evening
of June 4 in Victoria Park with more than 180,000 attendees.
Richard Cheong, Vice Chairman of HK Alliance: This year
marks the 25th anniversary of the June 4 Massacre.
The incident has yet to be vindicated after 25 years.
We will continue fighting for our goal, despite the difficulties
and the time.
Beijing human rights lawyer Teng Biao, who participated
in the candlelight vigil, believes the people have
a responsibility to remember the massacre and the blood
and a responsibility in seeking truth and justice.
Teng Biao, Beijing human rights lawyer: I was warned
by the State Security and the China University
of Political Science and Law before I came to Hong Kong.
I wanted to tell the world that 25 years have passed,
the massacre has not ended.
In the name of the law, safeguarding stability,
and national unity, the regime has never stopped killing.
Commemorations were held around the world in places
such as Hong Kong, United States, Taiwan, Britain, Germany,
the Netherlands and elsewhere on June 4.
In Paris, overseas Chinese also held a flower offering
and poetry event to commemorate the June 4 Massacre.
In New York, Chinese pro-democracy organizations
held a meeting at the Sheraton Hotel conference hall
in Flushing, Queens.
Prior to the commemorating meeting, the song dedicated
to the June 4 victims, Unforgettable June 4, was sung.
In Germany, activists called on the release of prisoners
of conscience such as Gao Yu, Gao Zhisheng,
and Xu Zhiyong, as well as conducted a commemoration
of the June 4 victims in front of the Chinese consulate
in Frankfurt on June 4.
The Office of the Federal Commissioner for Human Rights
of the German government also called on the Communist
regime to release detainees of June 4 Massacre.

Dragon dance (simplified Chinese: 舞龙; traditional Chinese: 舞龍; pinyin: wǔ lóng) is a form of traditional dance and performance in Chinese culture. Like the lion dance it is most often seen in festive celebrations. The dance is performed by a team of dancers who manipulate a long flexible figure of a dragon using poles positioned at regular intervals along the length of the dragon. The dance team mimics the supposed movements of this river spirit in a sinuous, undulating manner.
