The last samurai

When we have Western artillery, machine guns, and put on western clothes, the last thing we should forget is who we are and where we come from.
If it is said that "The Last Samurai" exaggerated the decline of a class, from the warmth and coldness of the world to the blood on the battlefield. Then the result is to raise this class to a spiritual level. Finally, when Emperor Meiji was holding Katsuemoto's sword, the contrived sentence came to the finishing touch. It was quite a bit of the notion that you are dead, but your spirit will live forever.

The ups and downs of the national soul, the disputes between conservation and reform, that are the essence of culture that pushes the blood to break through tradition. In other words, it has a taste of "learning as the body, and western learning as the application". Japan still strongly respects Bushido, such as in World War II and modern commercial warfare. In China, which also moved from the Eastern world to the Western world, faced with new education, new systems, and new clothing, there was also a thinking about who we are and where we are from.

When the school introduced the Western educational system and when the norms introduced international standards, can we see if there are still ancestors in our land.

Regarding the Qing empire, the only memories we have left are the Aixinjueluo with big braids and the grinning Lafayette. Regarding the Ming Dynasty, we only remember the hanged Chongzhen and Eunuch Wei Zhongxian. Could it be that there is no exquisiteness and paradise in that passing memory...

Regarding the past, I am looking forward to the appearance of the Chinese version of "The Last Samurai".

    1. I didn't expect a feudal samurai who spoke English that was fluent and not very Japanese accent, Mr. Sanada~ you are so strong. 2. The defeat of this show is the beautiful soup and the defeat of his team. The emotional drama of the wife of the dead Japanese samurai `Although only a little bit```But I also know that Japan's too tangled and deformed mentality```3. The soundtrack is quite atmospheric```It is worthy of grandeur Integrity, but a bit like what the Chinese wrote`
