Chapter 881: Endless Island
Chapter 881
Dear Madam:
I saw a report submitted by the Department of Defense entrusted by the Chief of Staff of Massachusetts, and learned that you are the mother of five brothers who died gloriously on the battlefield. I know that no language can free you from the grief caused by such a huge loss, but I can't help it. I would like to express to you the condolences of our center and the gratitude of the country for which they died. I beg God to heal your grief of losing your beloved son, and leave in your heart precious memories of the heroes, and your well-deserved sacred pride of being free. Your most loyal: Abraham Lincoln
Before the invention of the typewriter, people wrote letters by hand. The letters Abraham Lincoln wrote to the mother of his five brothers were also handwritten.
How can a high-ranking American president talk to a housewife in such a humble tone?
This mother lost five sons. She could spend her old age surrounded by many descendants, but because of the war, she may become a lonely family, and her son is serving the country. Why can’t the president give her an explanation?
Aftermath is a very severe curse. The Swiss bank embezzled the money of the Jews who had never been after the Second World War.
The elves will also encroach on the money of the pure-blood family after they have swallowed it. Wizards have always had difficulty giving birth. The prosperous family like the Black family has now decided on the male line.
Heirs are very important, and it is precisely in order to have enough heirs to be prepared, that ancient China implemented the system of monogamy and multiple concubines.
It is precisely because of too many heirs that there is a kind of infighting like "Nine Dragons Seizes a Grandiose".
She is 50 years old, and according to the age of a human, there is almost no hope of giving him another child, but this topic does not need to be discussed anymore, he does not care whether he has a child anymore.
Everything happens, besides, they still have the godson Draco Malfoy, and they can let him bury them when they die.
The first thing she has to deal with now is this weird typewriter.
This typewriter originally belonged to a printing house in Singapore. It looks very complicated. It is very different from the typewriter on the desk in the office. It is densely covered with traditional Chinese.
The current Chinese technology is a product of pinyin writing, which has almost been integrated into modern life, so it may be misunderstood-the use of movable type printing in Chinese is as simple as English.
The most common letter in English is E. Which word is the most common in an article of about 2,000 characters in Chinese?
The non-repeatability of Chinese characters makes it very difficult to learn, let alone those rare characters.
Before the invention of the computer, as long as the printing of Chinese characters still relied on handwriting and mimeograph, only professional printing houses and rich schools would use Chinese typewriters.
The city of Singapore was a trading center a long time ago. Commodities such as agarwood, coral, ivory, and spices were all transported to China from there, just like the Venice of the East.
In addition to the main island, there are many scattered islands, and Sentosa Island is one of them.
In the past, Sentosa also had a Malaysian name, which literally means "death from the rear", while the Chinese call it Endless Island. It is said that a plague occurred here in the middle of the 19th century, which caused most of the people on the island to die, and a small number of people fled to the main island of Singapore and survived.
In the past, Juhou Island was an important military base to defend the main island of Singapore. After the British took over from the Portuguese, they built many fortifications and fortifications on the island.
After the Japanese occupation of Singapore during World War II, the island was used as a prisoner of war camp. Australian and British prisoners were held here.
They also executed at least 40,000 Chinese who resisted here. These Chinese were tied together by three or five people. After shooting them, they threw their bodies into the sea.
However, they were lucky. The Japanese did not have a tradition of preferential treatment to prisoners. Australian and British prisoners of war were hungry with only a handful of bones left. No one would go to this place at all.
Singapore became independent in 1965, and the British troops were still stationed on the island. Singapore demanded to take back the island, where they plan to build an oil refinery or other factories.
But after the British troops withdrew, Singapore changed its mind. They turned the island into a sea paradise, attracting tourists from all over the world to come to travel, sightseeing, and vacation.
Sometimes I have to admire tourists who are ignorant and fearless. The horror of the island is not inferior to Boville Island. The superstitious feng shui rich people go to the island for vacation, especially the tourists from the north, on the small islands of South China Sea. The feeling of basking in the sun is certainly more comfortable than blowing northwest wind in the north.
Unfilial piety has three no queens. Pomona doesn’t know why the local Chinese named the island the best queen. Is it because the island will be the best queen?
The locals will celebrate the Thaipusam Festival on the island. On this day, Hinduism will celebrate the birthday of Mulugan, the youngest son of Shiva and the Snow Mountain Goddess. On this day, he received a spear from the Snow Mountain Goddess and finally wiped it out with it. The devil Soorapadman.
Different from other Indian festivals with a joyous atmosphere, Thaipusam is a festival for devout Hindus to repent, redeem, give and give thanks.
The picturesque island with peacocks on the screen is weird. Since the 1970s, the island has never been better. No, Sentosa Island is the “gathering place of the super rich”, and only the super elite can afford it.
A madman does not feel that he is crazy. He has his own logic. Jack the Ripper wants to understand the anatomy of women. But in the 19th century, women’s corpses were not easy to obtain, and there were no books on women’s anatomy. Some people even think that there are seven small rooms in a woman's womb.
In order to clarify the truth, he killed the prostitutes. They are no longer useful if they are alive. It is better to dissect the corpses and make some contribution to society.
Whoever accepts his logic will go crazy with him. He can't feel how upside-down and unreasonable he is.
The crazy aftermath of the Vietnam battlefield has spread to the Western world. No one wants to participate in this unjust war, which is different from the anti-Japanese war.
What's more, the sons of rich people don't participate in the war at all. Why should ordinary people participate in this war that they don't want to participate in?
Linden Baynes Johnson, who concocted the TET counter-offensive plan, succeeded in proposing legislation on human rights, tax cuts, anti-poverty, and resource protection; he proposed a plan to build a "great society".
This is what he called a "great society"?
She lives in a puzzling era. With just a few photos, she can disguise evil as justice, talking about human rights while quitting human affairs.
Though what happened in the jungle is far away from the United States of America, war reporters with conscience will report what happened in Vietnam in the United States.
Although the democratic system has turned the people into slaves of public opinion, not all public opinion is controlled by the government.
There are no so-called secrets, only the hidden truth.
The picturesque Switzerland used to be the most rampant area for witch hunting. The island of Sentosa, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city and the crowds, used to be a place similar to a concentration camp. The island is crowded.
It’s no wonder that the mayor of Venice has such big ambitions to develop the island of Boville into a tourist resort. It turns out that there is a successful precedent. The cunning of the merchants of Venice is indeed well-deserved.
