I thank Dr Alf for sharing this unusual article from the South China Morning Post.
As Dr Alf says ,the story is moving and it is one we would never have known about in the West but for the South China Morning Post.
Global history needs to reflect the contribution of everyone, not just those we choose to remember and it needs to be complete and accurate.
Airbrushing atrocities and events out of view does not help people to learn the lessons that they need to learn to stop events like the World Wars happening again.
