Sad Stories

Yes, I may vaguely remember something about Yasushi Takeda in high school giving his report and talking about his conflicted state of mind as a Japanese allied to the United States, the country that nuked his own people at Nagasaki and Hiroshima. They lost the war so now they have to be friends with their former enemies. Yes, it sometimes happens that way. And the U.S. regards mainland China as a sort of enemy even though we were their Allies in World War II. Strange. Why is that? Something about the Communist takeover of China. The Communists were the enemies of the government that we supported during WWII and after the war Taiwan was all they had left. And why we would want any of those countries to be running the show? Besides, these matter are too complicated for me. I don't have any reason to pay much attention to China as I am neither certified as a teacher of English as a Foreign Language or medical personnel of some sort, which are the only positions currently available there for U.S. citizens living in China. I have no reason to challenge this order of things. China is their country and they can do whatever they want over there. It is really none of my business.
