The Boxer Rebellion

Here is a song/poem composed by supporters of the Boxers Uprising. From the text, their hatred toward foreigners is easily seen.

神助拳　義和團　只因鬼子鬧中原
勸奉教　自信天　不信神　忘祖仙
男無倫　女行姦　鬼孩俱是子母產
如不信　仔細觀　鬼子眼珠俱發藍
天無雨　地焦旱　全是教堂止住天
神發怒　仙發怨　一同下山把道傳
非是邪　非白蓮　念咒語　法真言
升黃表　敬香烟　請下各洞諸神仙
仙出洞　神下山　附著人體把拳傳
兵法藝　都學全　要平鬼子不費難
拆鐵道　拔綫杆　緊急毀壞大輪船
大法國　心胆寒　英美德俄盡消然
洋鬼子　盡除完　大清一統靖江山
詩曰
弟子同心苦用功　遍地草木化成兵
愚蒙之體仙人藝　定滅洋人一掃平
右傳云山東聖府抄傳

Genocide Denial

1933 CE, the Nazis gained the total control of the whole Germany and put the country under Hitler’s command. From that point, Jews were gathered, sent to concentration camps, and then killed. This incident is called the Holocaust. During the Holocaust, about eleven to fifteen million people died due to the massive killing by Nazis. In 1975 CE, the Khmer Rouge took over Cambodia and started to execute their ideology. However, they killed whoever disapproved the government, which resulted in two million of deaths. With lots of concrete evidence, they all showed that several genocide incidents really happened. Nevertheless, some of people still try to avoid the truth. One possible reason is that as time passes by quickly, fewer and fewer people remember the horrible incident and no one is interested anymore. Then the truth would be easily hidden away. Also, it might be the censorship of the country is extremely strict, as in 1984 by George Orwell. In the PRC, the “Big Brothers”, or the government, take power in everything; they pick out the news they don’t want to show and only reveal partial truths, letting no one to know the whole thing. Thirdly, the truth isn’t always pretty; sometimes it would be ugly. Admitting an atrocity or massacre really occurred can definitely bring down the country’s reputation. It will harm the international relationships for the country and affect all the trading and the economy system. No one would want to be friends with a killer. People all want to be the “good guy”, or be with the “good guy”; as a result, those who have suffered through or performed genocide would not confess. Nonetheless, the most important part isn’t all about evading the reality, but to make up for the mistake, to adjust the unfairness, to justify the rights.
