Of Past And Present Chinese

I'm Chinese but I can barely comprehend the Chinese. In ancient China, during the Zhou Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty(1122BC-256BC), the feudal lords constantly fought each other for supremacy until most of them proclaimed themselves the title of 'Wang'(King).

The Chinese secret societies, the Ghee Hin and the Hai San took their warfare from their motherland to Malaya(The Larut Wars) that started in 1861 and ended with the signing of the Pangkor Treaty of 1874.

Then we saw the costly full-scale civil war between the China Communist Party(CCP) and the Nationalist Party(Kuomintang)that was ended in 1949 by the Chinese Communist leader Mao Zedong.

Now we have a 'war' looming. The Malaysian Chinese Association(MCA) has seen the majority of their office bearers resigned. Come March 28, there will be winners and there will be losers. In the meantime, preparation for this upcoming battle would 'draw blood' The situation is going to be tense. We will see all the candidates 'sharpening their weapons' and to use them when the time is right!

I hope there would not be any backstabbing! And no aiming or shooting at the Achilles' heel! No offence meant to the President of MCA. Many of us want to see an end to this war that shouldn't have started in the first place! So, what is done,is done! It cannot be undone. Battle it out fairly or you would earn the wrath of many! But let me jolt you a little, lest you have forgotten! You have MCA- Make Chinese Angry.
