Concerning the important discussion on the 'learn Chinese' thread: It strikes me that both the OP and the resondent wanting to exchange language lessons/practice have been very clear, that no one has been deceived, and that deception was never intended.
I am not in charge of anything and don't object to the ridiculous things that some of you are saying, and in fact I'd hate to see anyone get banned from GoKM for burying simple inquiries at the bottom of piles of self-defensive or intentionally annoying egotistical crap and thereby driving more intelligent users of the forum who are interested in real discussion or real information away from it. Most of the time I find it hard to understand how any of this might really be 'entertaining' - Tonyoad posted a message saying he was into the forums for simple entertainment - but if that's what you want, why not refer your nonsense here? I'll even play once in awhile (as I find myself doing now), but please don't destroy the usefulness of the forums everywhere for everyone else, or get yourselves thrown out into reality somewhere.

Remembering Yunnan's role in World War Two
发布者Nowhere does the state want to get over the past, especially the one that the state chooses for the purpose of enhancing its own present and future.
Remembering Yunnan's role in World War Two
发布者A really fascinating period, and Pat has written a fine summary - but there is more. These events, which occurred in what the overall Allied Command considered the least important military front, but were crucial to the Chinese war, which really began with the Japanese taking of Beijing in 1937, are full of good stories and fascinating characters. A new museum to be built in Baoshan will cover the frontier war with the Japanese who came up through Burma, hopefully without intentional distortions.
