A beautiful Taiwanese TV report about a 90-year-old Japanese grandmother traveling to Taiwan to visit the places of her childhood. The landmark is Keelung. At first it was called Jilung, i.e. “chicken coop“, and then they started to find all sorts of useful things there (sulfur mining), and there was a fight. It was also under the Spaniards, who called the settlement San Salvador, then the Dutch came and it became Noort-Holland. Then the Chinese threw them out and reoccupied the territory. Then they found coal, gold, and a bunch of other stuff there and it became Keelung, “the prosperous land.“ Not surprisingly, when re-occupied by the Japanese, in 1895 onwards, it was one of the key points. Grandma went to a school for the Japanese, the Taiwanese lapote bulls weren’t allowed there, of course. It was logical - Japanese daddy used to whip them during working hours to make them dig faster for the good of the Empire. In general, it is a scene of the kind “mad Belarusians greet and solemnly welcome the daughter of a German concentration camp employee on the territory of Belarus, who studied at the school under the German administration, for deigning to come and see how things are going here“. But the people in the video don’t look like lunatics. Things are much worse. Источник: Slavyangrad
