  1. I want to say this, it is striking how someone's body physical appearance can determine how they are seen and treated by others. This is nothing new but watching pictures of past leaders makes this even more clear. All those leaders had a striking look. Often the wide faced bigger than life anatomy like for example Sun Yat Sen works well for leaders. We are like animals judging each others by looks, we pretend we are so much more sophisticated, but not so much in fact.

  2. It's obvious how China is always copying foreign nations. Even in this warlord feud they copy Japan's military disciplined military style with application and perseverance. Just as they copy technology in this century.

  3. I am impressed by your film sources. Did you have to go to national library archives and get a special authorization ?

  4.  @TheGreatWar  Wow that's exactly what i guessed. Most early film reels where first converted to TV compatible film reels in the 1960 - 1970's in relatively low quality and it's still what predominates on youtube. But when the original reels were converted directly to digital in the last 10 years it's HD quality + sometimes colors and timing restoration and we're going to see more and more of this on yt.

  5. Your elocution is poor and makes it unpleasant to follow your discourse. You need to learn to talk with less accentuation it makes it tiring to listen to. You're following the simplistic almost childlike accentuation scheme : HA bla bla , HA bla bla , HA bla bla. don't you see ?
