My personal experience is that when I was in China back then, my classmates and I knew to various extent that we were force-fed with some kind of...
No I didn't, but you are not FB, are you?
You are absolutely right. That's why I don't think it is a good idea to teach a highly "condensed" version of Chinese history. The kids in China...

I didn't say you "intentionally exaggerated", although you are welcome to fit into the frame you set up for others. I am saying with this example,...
So, 1) the source is not wikipedia; 2) the incident occurred in 1953, some 50 years ago, not a current event; 3) "16 casualties, including a...
