Doghead, yes OP is Chinese but in his early 20s, and unfortunately
many North Americans don't get to learn much history in
school. It's not restricted to that continent, either. In Japan,
most people his age would have little if any knowledge of
the Nanking Massacre, for instance.
Incidentally, I mentioned Canada (Jiānádà) in small talk with
an HG from the PRC recently, and she seemed completely
unaware that there was a country by that name! I guess
that's why they're f^cking us for $$$ instead of working
as bankers or teachers.
