옳으신 말씀입니다.

One thing I know for sure, as you said, is that the Japanese King and the leadership made the decision 

to eradicate the Chinese medicine in spite of the persistent protest and resistance by the establishment.

As far as I know, there has not been any Chinese medicine practitioner for some generations in Japan whereas

they are as rampant and as politically strong as ever in Korea.

As far as I know, Japan has been number one or near the top in the average longevity of her people

worldwide over the past decade or longer.

Unfortunately Korea is still under the heavy influence by China

perhaps because of some good realistic reasons beyond 

the control of the political leadership.

By the same token, our forefathers in leadership perhaps felt they had no other choice

but having done what they did.

In other words, they may well have been excused, and

we descendants perhaps should forgive them if we are willing

to forgive our recent leaderships.

Our ancestors are certainly responsible for my life both biologically and socially.

I appreciate it. I am proude of possessing Korean DNA mentally and physically.

I just want to make sure that we all learn something from their mistakes, so that

we can fulfill our responsibility for the generations to come.

There had been numerous opportunities that Korea could occupy the part of 

Manchuria and Vladivostok area(연해주), mostly 발해(간도). Chinese could

not govern that area effectively. Unfortunately, our ancestors were not so ambitious 

to expand the territory. Most of the opportunities existed toward the end of the 

empires in China.
