UNIT 731 : History forgets but the Blood remembers

UNIT 731 : History forgets but the Blood remembers 26, November   4-6 weeks. It's a duration of time that you and I probably take for granted. What can really happen in that time? Nothing, right? Maybe that's a big project at workor maybe how long you'd spend learning integrals in calculus.In a different perspective, that is precisely the duration of time that Chinese,Korean, Mongolian, and Russian people in regions around Northeast China had after they were picked up by the Imperial Japanese Army for no apparent reason in the mid 1930s to mid 1940s.If only they knew what they were actually being picked up for was to be shipped offto a place called "Harbin," a district in Manchuria of Japan at the time.  The compoundthey were headed to had the rather innocent name, "Army Epidemic Prevention Research Laboratory."The place they were actually headed to had no epidemic prevention lab.This was nothing good willed at all. Far from it. Right when they got onto ...

Letting the stories Die: A letter To Our Grandparents

Image
Do we really need to let the stories die? My dear Grandma, Every time I look at you or any old person in the streets, to me, you smell like nostalgia, and my heart aches as if I am about to lose something huge. I know you are not the history book, yet it feels like you are carrying the whole world's history in your eyes, way of speaking, food & your touch, everything! Well, I have to praise your patience. I cannot imagine waiting a month just to receive a single text! However, you did wait! "When my father died, I got the news after 7 days because the letter was late to deliver. I couldn't see my father for the last time." I can see the sadness in your eyes a hundred times you told me the same story. I also see the awe in your eyes when you talk in video chat with aunts who live overseas. I bet you regret not having these at that time! But don't feel sad you are a time machine, Grandma! You have seen everything, from sending letters and telegrams to button pho...
