Today, I travelled to the United Federation of China to meet a chinese chairman named Kwang Jingshu. The effects of the war were evident by the reduced population, loss of power, and loss of running water.
This interview was the first I did that gave specific references to the actual disease and its effects on people. I loved how he seemed to know exactly what he wased going to say but it did feel a bit rehearsed. I can't help but wonder if I was the first to get to him or if the government told him to cover anything up before.
An interesting side story was that of the city of Fengdu. This story, to me, represents the petty needs of governments before the War and how quickly the world has changed since then. I can't help but wonder what happened to that old Chinese lady.
I feel grat sympathy for the Chinese peasants and farmers as at first, they were largely left out of the true story and were unaware of the struggles to come. I can only wonder what would have happened if people had been properly informed.
As this summary comes to a conclusion, I can truly say Kwang Jingshu has been a huge help in starting my post-war research.
