She wrote The Rape of Nanking and then in 04 an hero'd herself.

What does /jp/ think of her and did she like modern Japanese or no?

That's what they want you to think.

I went to one of her talks a few years ago; now I regret not listening more closely to what she had to say.

Fascinating.

It's "became an hero".

If she felt compelled to write a book about something that didn't happen to her sixty plus years after the fact, then she was just a butthurt, nationalist cunt using secondary sources.

I don't know anything about her, but I'm probably right.

Or she could just be like any other historian who writes a book about a past event? There's a possibility that she was just butthurt, but lots of historians write about things that didn't happen to them and that occured a long time ago, that's basically their job.

>There are aspects of my experience in Louisville that I will never understand. Deep down I suspect that you may have more answers about this than I do. I can never shake my belief that I was being recruited, and later persecuted, by forces more powerful than I could have imagined. Whether it was the CIA or some other organization I will never know. As long as I am alive, these forces will never stop hounding me.

>Days before I left for Louisville I had a deep foreboding about my safety. I sensed suddenly threats to my own life: an eerie feeling that I was being followed in the streets, the white van parked outside my house, damaged mail arriving at my P.O. Box. I believe my detention at Norton Hospital was the government's attempt to discredit me.

>I had considered running away, but I will never be able to escape from myself and my thoughts. I am doing this because I am too weak to withstand the years of pain and agony ahead.

Chang's entire body of work focused on one of two things, sometimes both at once: paranoia and horrific violence. And there's no better way to encourage a simmering low-grade mental illness to take a turn for the worse by immersing yourself in just those things that it feeds upon.

Sounds pretty delusional to me. If she suffered from nervous breakdown it's no wonder that she got carried away like that.

Then again, the thought of government taking precautions for those who touch political taboos is not completely insane.

Take 9/11 for an example. It's pretty obvious that US government or CIA were somehow involved in it and yet no one can even touch that topic unless he wants to get totally discredited. Somehow similar situation than it was with the Kennedy assassination.

Nothing Chang wrote about was particularly taboo. She was just a Chinese-American version of those Jews who perpetually whine about the Holocaust.

If she really wanted to put herself at risk for the truth, she could've badgered the Chicoms to repent for the fifty million who died under Mao. They would've taken her to meet the last Panchen Lama.

I thought that Rape of Nanking is still kind of controversial thing in some countries.

I'd say she was just delusional but the possibility is that some party could have taken interest in her writings is real, even though very highly unlikely.

>> No.1736530

>>1736480
it's the fact that she had a large following that was worrying

poking at the past when china's trying to establish themselves as more of a powerful world leader than they're thought to be isn't going to sit well

plus, the CIA loves china
they're great at controlling people
