The Gandhi-style road won't save China

Middle school history textbooks have a mantra: .

If Cixi died early, China would be a constitutional monarchy;
if Song Jiaoren didn't die, China would be a parliamentary system;
if Yuan Shikai didn't become emperor, would China be a republic;

Tan Sitong said: "If there is, please start with Tan Sitong."
He is determined to use his own blood to attract more blood.
If Kang Liang's proposition is adopted, the revolutionaries will have no market;
if KMT does not understand the party, our party will go public.

When social changes are brewing, vulnerable groups always start from the mildest route. If meat-eaters can follow a good course, history is another way of writing.

India became independent and divided into Pakistan; Pakistan later divided into Bangladesh.
But in what we are united as one china?
I wish those who want change think it over.

Gandhi quotes

  • Lord Irwin, Viceroy: Mr. Gandhi will find that it takes a great deal more than a pinch of salt to bring down the British Empire.

  • Edward R. Murrow: [at Gandhi's funeral] The object of this massive tribute died as he had always lived - a private man without wealth, without property, without official title or office. Mahatma Gandhi was not a commander of great armies nor ruler of vast lands. He could boast no scientific achievements or artistic gift. Yet men, governments and dignitaries from all over the world have joined hands today to pay homage to this little brown man in the loincloth who led his country to freedom. Pope Pius, the Archbishop of Canterbury, President Truman, Chiang Kai-shek, The Foreign Minister of Russia, the President of France... are among the millions here and abroad who have lamented his passing. In the words of General George C. Marshall, the American Secretary of State, "Mahatma Gandhi had become the spokesman for the conscience of mankind, a man who made humility and simple truth more powerful than empires." And Albert Einstein added, "Generations to come will scarce believe that such a one as this ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth."
