    Your mom's "Chinese army", yankees. These were Chinese Korean and foreign volunteers from other socialist countries and beyond. You hamburger-eating social media-dwelling pricks can only destroy infastructure and install corrupt regimes. Thank God, Koreans and Vietnamese taught you a good lesson.

    I saw a reference to Kanko Medical College in September 1945, and a Prof. Chang who taught there. I wonder if it was the same place, and what Prof.Chang taught. I know his teacher was a German physicist.
