What is Korea in your mind? Why did Korea become like this?

# First Weekly # Korea, a wonderful country that is extremely lacking in competitive spirit; A deformed thief who constantly copied other countries' cultures; The regional political body in which the chaebol control the right to speak; Just a bunch of poor and hateful people. So, why did Korea become like this?

First of all, we need to know how Korea came from. After Japan defeated the Qing Dynasty in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, domestic contradictions became increasingly serious. They urgently need a new external expansion to make up for the restrictions brought by their own island countries, and then transfer contradictions. As early as before this war, the Japanese had made a plan to invade China, that is, using the Korean Peninsula as a springboard and China as a stronghold to invade the three northeastern provinces, and then going south to China. However, at that time, the Korean royal family was still a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty and was sheltered by the Qing Dynasty. However, the Meiji Restoration in Japan has just started, and it is temporarily unable to wage war against the Qing Dynasty. Unable to act directly, they secretly encouraged the Korean royal family to leave the Qing Dynasty. Finally, in 1897, the Korean royal family announced its separation from the Qing Dynasty and the Korean Empire was established. 19 10 On August 22nd, South Korean Prime Minister Li Wanyong and Japanese representative Terauchi Masatake signed the Treaty of Japan-South Korea Merger, which stipulated that the Korean Empire would permanently cede the sovereignty of the Korean Peninsula to Japan and the Korean Peninsula would become a Japanese colony. 19 10 On August 29th, with the entry into force of the Japan-Korea Merger Treaty, the Korean Empire was formally annexed by Japan, and it only existed for 13 years.

The independence of the Korean peninsula will wait until the end of World War II. With the defeat of fascism in the world, the world powers led by the Soviet Union and the United States began to divide the surrender area on the Korean Peninsula from their own interests, that is, the 38th parallel of the north latitude of the Korean Peninsula was taken as the temporary dividing line between the Soviet Union and the United States in their military actions against Japan and the scope of surrender. After Japan surrendered, it became the temporary dividing line between the two regimes of the Republic of Korea (ROK) and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK). Both regimes are Koreans, but their political systems are different, commonly known as the "38th parallel". Today, the situation on the Korean peninsula has begun to take shape.

In the Korean War that broke out in 195 1, Japan's economy, which had been destroyed by Japan, made rapid development after becoming the material supply place of the American Korean War. At the same time, a large number of Class A war criminals who should have been tried in World War II were pardoned for their pro-American views, including Shinzo Abe's grandfather Shigemitsu Mamoru. Similarly, South Korea's chicken-rib fighting capacity in the war forced the United States to provide a large amount of economic assistance to South Korea, and the United States expected South Korea to become an important pawn in balancing Asia in the future. Similarly, a large number of pro-American war criminals were released and returned to politics, occupying important positions. It was at this time that park chung-hee, the military and political representative of North Korea, came to power. After the Korean War, the United States urgently began to fully assist the development of South Korea, and at the same time began to infiltrate all aspects of South Korea. The country is poor and weak, and Korean companies have little influence in the world. So later, President park chung-hee supported a large number of leading enterprises, which developed rapidly with the support of the government and went to the international market, and finally achieved many super-large enterprises and the "miracle of the Han River" that Koreans were proud of. At first, these enterprises could not interfere in the country, but with the passage of time, major enterprises have been married for generations, resulting in the birth of a huge interest group. Interest groups dissatisfied with the status quo gradually conquered officials through corrosion, wooed the military to stand for themselves, and gradually penetrated into all aspects of people's livelihood politics, and the chaebol began to take shape.

After gradually mastering the right to speak, a group of pro-American chaebols supported by the United States began to pay their debts to the United States or had to obey-South Korea began a comprehensive de-China movement. South Korea, which has been infected by China culture for thousands of years, will suffer greatly if it is forced to break away from the influence of China culture. A lot of Korean culture is associated with China culture. In order to appear legal and reasonable, Korean culture, which faded out of China culture, had to make a lot of modifications and fabrications, and even fundamentally denied its shameful history. Although de-China has stimulated South Korea's national self-confidence to some extent and changed the country's appearance, the pain of forced stripping immediately began to gnaw at this nation.

Forced de-China has caused historical distortion and cultural fault, further affected the spiritual core of the Korean nation, caused the people's lack of sense of belonging, and strengthened their sense of emptiness, which finally led to the extreme self-confidence of this national culture today, eager for the recognition of others, and even willing to take any measures. In this way, South Korea's notorious behavior in the 2002 World Cup and other bad behaviors in the competition can also be reasonably explained. Cultural plagiarism shows their inner spiritual emptiness and cultural extreme confidence.

The infiltration and manipulation of the chaebol in all aspects of society in South Korea has led to the strengthening of the oppression of the Korean people in society, and the inferiority of military culture has further distorted the Korean character, with a gloomy and vengeful mentality. Similarly, numerous religions and cult organizations prevail in South Korea, further affecting the Korean people and eventually forming extreme personalities. For example, on the issue of men and women, the gender opposition in South Korea is very serious, and the countermeasures taken are usually extreme. Even for the superstructure, South Korea has taken extreme measures. The political abnormality, the sinking of the cruise ship "Century" during park geun-hye's administration, and the liquidation of the former president by the current president ... all these indicate the abnormality of the whole national level in South Korea.

In short, the distorted social phenomenon in South Korea today is from top to bottom, and the great influence of the United States is undeniable, but the Korean people should also bear the responsibility and price for it.
