Chapter 33. Ganghwa Nam Soon (2)
In addition to the Han Chinese, who make up 93% of the population, China is made up of more than 50 minority groups, and it is almost as if they manage and harmonize them. It goes without saying that it was their task.
Of course, Tibet and Uyghurs, other ethnic groups with clearly different ethnicities and religions, were also forcibly inserted under the Chinese flag, and in the process, they received tremendous criticism from the world, but Communist Party leaders including Deng Xiaoping refused to listen.
The United States also took land from the Indians and Native Americans and annexed them under their own flag.
They took over Mexico, abducted blacks from Africa, and ran slavery.

Now, how dare these people speak to us about freedom and human rights?At present, China is only doing later what the US did in the past.
As always, history is written by the victors.
Someday, when the minority groups lose their ethnic and religious identity and there is no more power left to reject the Chinese name tag, then we can be confident that China, like the United States today, was proud of us. .
And this was what Deng Xiaoping paid attention to as he headed to his final destination, Shanghai, after completing his inspection.
At one time, he used this example to persuade conservatives in the party against reform and opening up.
– Comrades, we must reform and open up for the sake of minority issues. Everyone in the world is well aware that Americans, white people who will fight with us for world supremacy, kill the Indians who originally owned the land and take the land and pretend to be the most powerful nation. But neither the Indians nor the black slaves have anything against the current American system. Why do you think so?
– It’s probably because you don’t have the strength to fight the white people who actually rule America.
– That’s true, but most fundamentally, it’s better for them to be ‘Americans’ than Indians or Africans. Leaders of low-ranking powers try to bind minorities by force. Such is the relationship between the Soviet comrades over there and Chechnya. But the true powers are powers of ideology and of spirit. It is the technique of world management theory of superpowers that makes individuals and people of other countries aspire to belong to that country.
– …..So Comrade Deng is saying that we should do the same.
– Tibetan and Uyghurs, who still give us a headache, are representative, but also Zhuang, Hui, Manchu, Qiang, Mongolian, and Korean. We must make them cry out that they will forsake their national identity and voluntarily be incorporated under the light of our China. Imagine your comrades are little Tibetan boys. Do you want to become a Tibetan patriot who hunts in a valley where there is no radio? Or maybe you want to be a Chinese man with his own car and TV in a nice two-story house with a yard. simple reason no.
Therefore, for Deng Xiaoping, China’s reform and opening up was not an option but a necessity.
And stable and capable leadership was also essential for sustainable development, and in the process, Western democracy could not be the answer.
Although it is sad to filter out populist politicians who only think about the votes they will receive a few years later than their ability and popularity over the future of the country, it is the consistent view of the leadership of the Communist Party, including him, that the level of the Chinese people is still too low.
Among the 1.3 billion people, talented young people are selected to prove their skills and gain experience in each field, display their abilities until the time of retirement, and pass on the responsibility of national management to the next generation.
Such a system in which an elite bureaucratic group of verified human beings, not a single idolized dictator, a group called the Communist Party with self-regulation and internal checks, leads the rest of the billion ignorant people, and the collective leadership system that Deng Xiaoping envisioned. .
However, the collective leadership system that was painstakingly established in order not to repeat the error of one-man worship after Mao Zedong was now in greatest danger.
‘Cian Yun, Yang Sang-kun, Boi-bo, these greed are overflowing, and if the three fools who can’t see a single inch say what they say, this China will go back to the time of the Qing dynasty. The blood was shed for the stability of the system at Tiananmen, shouldn’t that system prevent the way back to the exiled system in which Party cadres inherit positions and wealth and act like the aristocrats of the Qing Dynasty?’
It was one of Deng Xiaoping’s greatest achievements along with reform and opening-up to not only open the party, but also to establish a balance within the party and a generational change system by limiting the tenure of the party to a 10-year limit and prohibiting those over 65 from taking on new positions.
Of course, Deng Xiaoping himself, and elders such as Yang Sang-kun and Chen Yun, even after their tenure ended, effectively reigned over the party cadres and exerted influence in the dark (like this time), but Deng felt that such work had to end on his own.
In fact, Deng Xiaoping thought that the issue of limiting the term of office was essentially the same as the issue of reform and opening up.
Stagnant water rots.
Organizations in which new blood is not transfused, countries with limits to which they can rise no matter how hard they try and abilities, and rigid systems that do not accept rational criticism from within are bound to perish regardless of whether they are dynasties, democracy, and collective leadership.
One of the reasons why many Chinese dynasties, including the late Han and Qing dynasties, have collapsed is the arteriosclerosis of corrupt elites and policy makers who cannot be replaced.
‘You have to stop it. Even if this old body falls on the roadside and dies during this inspection, I will not let you turn the wheel of development upside down!’
Although the Central Party bureaucrats and the conservatives behind them will see their own move as a thorn in their eyes, they will do everything possible to reduce the influence of this move.
But even so, Deng vowed that his influence and name were still alive and well for Party members, especially the ’emerging capitalists’ in Shanghai and other open special zones, who benefited from reform and opening up, and that he would use it to fight to the end of his life.
Recalling this tragic promise to himself, Deng arrived in Shanghai, the final destination of the Namsun Ganghwa.
And there, Deng Xiaoping, the giant who built modern China, or even the little giant he was planning to build, suffered a shocking blow.
“Why did you only have this? I must have said in today’s discourse to gather representatives of all parties and enterprises in Shanghai, right?”
“……I’m sorry, comrade, but your current comrade came here as a retired party elder, and you do not have any further authority. I’ll treat you well, so if you’re going to visit Shanghai’s scenic spots…”
“…what did you say now?”
Upon arriving at Shanghai’s city hall, meeting the party secretary there, Deng Xiaoping could not help but doubt his ears at his disrespectful remarks.

Nowhere else, right here, in Shanghai?“Put it away! I know that my Comrade Jiang Zemin’s Shanghai room still reigns supreme here…if they have an idea, you should listen to me!”
“Comrade Deng, please. No matter how retired we are, we do not want to be disrespectful to the party elders. We would appreciate it if you could think a little about our position as well!”
Deng Xiaoping opened his mouth.
It was done not out of anger but out of astonishment, and not by emotion, but by reason.
‘This doesn’t make sense. Except in one case.’
He was clearly the supreme leader of the People’s Republic of China.
Whatever his current position, he maintained his influence through the reform and opening generation represented by Jiang Zemin, whom he had recommended and raised.
And Igo Shanghai is the most directly benefiting from the reform and opening up and is currently the fastest developing city in China.
There was only one thing I had to think about, to treat myself like this old man in the back room.
“Heh heh… Jiang Zemin, I thought this guy was ambitious, but he’s no one else and he’ll betray me…”
What Deng Xiaoping felt in his heart was not anger, but despair and sadness.
While this was happening under the water, I felt sad about myself, which I didn’t know much about, and the fact that the castle of the collective leadership system that I had worked so hard to build up until now was collapsing.
It was unexpected that the western economic sanctions imposed by the Tiananmen Square incident were much stronger than expected, and how angry the businessmen in Shanghai who were just beginning to see the ‘taste’ of the economic sanctions and the party officials who were deeply attached to them would be angry. It was Xiaoping’s defeat.
Originally, I gave a jar of honey to someone who did not know the taste of honey.
Of course, the order to suppress the bloodshed, which was the direct cause of the sanctions, was not issued by Deng Xiaoping alone. Conservatives within the party army such as Yang Sang-kun played a major role, or even led the way, in a sense, but they knew in detail the circumstances of the secret room in Beijing far away from Shanghai. Those who were there were almost non-existent.
People outside China, who have a lower understanding of China and the Communist Party, and who cannot know the situation at the time due to strict information control, will be even more difficult for the Chinese people over 80% right now.
In any case, it was certain that it was Deng Xiaoping himself who issued the final order and gave approval, and in their eyes, Deng was the slayer of Tiananmen and responsible for all the blood flowed there.
And the conservatives within the party and Jiang Zemin are blaming Deng Xiaoping, who took responsibility for the massacre and took all the blame for the economic suffering that China is now experiencing.
His failure to break through the system in which the elders who retired after an official position, such as the ‘Party Elder Advisory Committee’, hold the actual decision-making power in the name of advisory and shake it up, was a failure if it was his defeat in today’s situation.
In fact, Deng Xiaoping himself was a clear beneficiary of such a supreme king system, so was it natural for him to go round and round and receive the karma?
“I wanted to die watching Hong Kong return to China’s arms…”
With a mournful sigh, Deng Xiaoping had to finish strengthening his Namsun in Shanghai, where no one welcomed him.
And just a few weeks later, Deng Xiaoping’s obituary spread across China, whether the despair of being betrayed by a lifelong task was enough to cost the life of an 80-year-old man.
Flags were posted at Beijing’s Tiananmen Square, and instructions were issued to the provinces and local parties across the country to ‘mourn the death of Comrade Deng Xiaoping, who dedicated his life to the Party and the country’.
And the Chinese diplomats (who had been waiting for this moment) immediately set off to countries and international organizations with a message saying, ‘Since Deng Xiaoping, who was in charge of the Tiananmen Massacre, is dead, please lift the sanctions or at least ease them.’
It was the day when China’s journey to a great power, which had been delayed for a while, started to crack in earnest due to sanctions against China, which was initially expected to have a short lifespan.
However, due to this incident, the legacy of Deng Xiaoping, the tenure system and age limit, which had barely begun to establish itself within the Chinese Communist Party, has already disappeared without a trace. abandoned it
“Comrades, why do you look like that?”
“yes? It looks so happy to see everyone smiling and returning to their hometown…”
“Hmm, do you see it that way, comrades?”
At Jeonghwan’s voice, Hyungsik tilted his head and looked closely at the faces of the young men who entered the ceremony once again.
And only then did she discover that there was some shadow lurking in the wide smiles and thrilling expressions on their faces.
‘Now that I think about it, something seems a little uncomfortable…. Is it because I’ve been flying for a long time?’
– welcome! Our Pyongyang International Airport (Sunan International Airport) workers warmly welcome college students who have improved and performed the task of spreading the prestige of their country to the world!
That day was the day on which government scholarship students, including Kim Dae, who left for ‘capitalist study’ in England three years ago with the consideration of Jeonghwan, returned to Pyongyang.
However, the 300 or so North Korean students who had gathered in the splendidly decorated ceremony hall were waving eagerly to the welcoming crowd as soon as they got off the plane with expressions that they were truly moved by returning to their hometown after three years of absence.
In response, the party cadres were also applauding with their palms eagerly moving their palms, seemingly overwhelmed by the return of the future pillars responsible for the future of the republic.
However, among them, Jeong Hwan-man, the most distinguished guest of today’s event, immediately noticed that the smiles of the international students were somewhat awkward and firm.
And even the reason why they are naturally hard to laugh at.
‘Hmm, what to do, from that point of view, it’s not natural. However, it seems that my facial expression management skills have deteriorated a lot because I have been away for a long time. tttttttttttttttttttttttttt If I had been a little impatient, I would have sent him to Aoji immediately.’
“….certainly… it seems that there is also the expression of some dissatisfaction. Apparently, after being out of the republic for a long time, some of the young comrades seem to have been tainted with disquieting thoughts. I will take responsibility for that part and educate the ideology, so you can rest assured…”
“Ah, no need to worry. current manager. It’s because I still know why those comrades are going to die so badly even after they return to the mountains of their homeland after a long time.”
“yes?”
“Give me the mic over there. Can I advance the dinner order a bit?”
As Jeonghwan slowly got up from his seat and walked lightly to the podium, everyone’s attention was focused on him.
Yoo Hye-rim, who has been with him for several years, and party executives, had an expression of anxiety and anticipation at the same time as to what kind of shock he would show, but in fact, some of the international students who were the main characters of today’s event had expressions of curiosity and interest in a disrespectful way.

Not surprisingly, they did not leave for Britain on the other side of the world without even realizing the changes that had come to North Korea almost immediately after the new leader Jeong-hwan took office.Jeonghwan opened his mouth as they all watched with their mouths shut, not even Kim Jong-il, who had been educated in one-person worship since birth, and a young leader who is not much different from their age.
“Now, comrades… Well, I should have said this originally, but let’s call it a little differently today.”
Having said that far, Junghwan smiled and started a shocking speech with a mischievous expression that became an unforgettable memory for all who were present at the reception that day until they died.
“After smelling the air of Pyongyang, a rural town in the far-eastern corner of Far East Asia, in a backward hometown after a long time, they are already anxious to return to the magnificent London, look at the expressions of intolerance, juniors ?”
