There is news about "toxic textbooks" that have been accumulated for nearly a month, and more and more textbooks involved are involved. From vulgar illustrations to blatant colonial and sexual hints, the emergence of these situations shows that under the seemingly calm waves, there has been a surging under the seemingly calm waves, and the incident has never happened for a day, and there are not only children who have been poisoned by the "poisonous textbook". With the former Xinjiang Education Director who promoted "toxic textbooks" into classrooms in Xinjiang, he was sentenced to death, the seriousness of this matter is worthy of our vigilance, and we must pursue it relentlessly and investigate it to the end. In fact, textbooks also play a very important role in the history of education development on Taiwan. The DPP has repeatedly tampered with textbooks and used them as a tool for "cognitive combat". The difference in the textbook may lead to deviations in values, especially for children whose ideology has not yet been established, which has a particularly serious impact. I will tell you what the specific situation is.

How to fabricate "toxic textbooks"
1997, Lee Teng-hui formulated and promoted a set of textbooks called "Meeting Taiwan", focusing on introducing the history and geography of Taiwan's island. This batch of textbooks was officially used in the fall of 1997 and was provided to first-year junior high school students in Taiwan, Penghu and Kinma. The purpose of Lee Teng-hui to formulate this set of textbooks is to promote localized awareness on Taiwan and cultivate successors for his "two-state theory". was attacked by Li Qinghua, a representative of the public opinion of the new party’s legislative body, at that time. "This batch of textbooks beautify Japan and pave the way for Taiwan independence." The key point of this batch of textbooks in is to attribute all Taiwanese rulers in the past three hundred years to "foreign regimes", including the Kuomintang. At the same time, it beautifies a large number of atrocities that beautify the atrocities of Japan's aggression, and lied that the Japanese and Taiwanese had the same status during the Japanese rule of Taiwan. The most important thing about is that Lee Teng-hui proposed in the textbook that Taiwan "must be able to fight without fear of war" and incite students to hostility towards the mainland. This also explains why young people in Taiwan are so hostile to the mainland, and the seeds of sin have been deeply rooted in the textbooks as early as 25 years ago.
Lee Teng-hui
1997 Lee Teng-hui is in the process of brewing the "two-state theory", and such textbooks have promoted changes in the ideological field. However, such measures must be rendered and indoctrinated for a long time to be effective, but unfortunately, history has really given them such an opportunity. Taiwan independence textbooks such as have been used in Taiwan for more than 20 years, and have emerged one after another, and many more absurd textbooks have emerged. In 1998, Taiwan officially established the "Education Reform Promotion Group" to revise the teaching syllabus on Taiwan's island and other important matters. After the Democratic Progressive Party came to power, Yu Xikun, the head of the administrative agency in 2002, upgraded the "Education Reform Promotion Group" to the "Education Reform Promotion Committee" and personally served as the convener. At the same time, Taiwan’s teaching departments also entered the era of “one syllabus and multiple books”. That is, under the teaching syllabus stipulated by the Taiwan education department, each publishing house can compile textbooks by itself, and after being delivered for review, it can enter the market for school selection.
Taiwan textbooks call Japan the "mother country"
After the opening of the textbook market, various Taiwan independence camps took advantage of their political and economic advantages to enter the textbook industry, and the "Taiwan independence thinking" in various textbooks has also become popular with the use of textbooks. Taiwan independence groups use extremely obscure means to promote their "Taiwan independence" values in order to achieve the goals of "Taiwan independence", "anti-China", "decent Japanese" and "respecting beauty". For example, openly changed the "Japanese colonization era of Taiwan" to the "Japanese governance era of Taiwan", calling Japan the "mother country", believing that "Chinese industrial waste gas drifted to Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and even the West Coast of the United States." Various behaviors are to tell young people in Taiwan: "Japan is very close, the United States is very good, and China is very bad." Under such rendering, it is almost impossible for young people in Taiwan to get out of the mud without being stained. In particular, these elements are regarded as knowledge points, and they also need to write silence in various exams, which are unknowingly deeply rooted in the hearts of Taiwanese students.
Lei Jiner
And the more important question is how to express the "comfort women" system during the Japanese aggression period. On June 30, 2022, Lei Jiner, a victim of the Japanese invaders' "comfort women" system, passed away in Huarong, Hunan. During the period when Japanese militarism controlled Taiwan, there were many comfort women who were forced to be recruited on the island. They were ravaged by the Japanese, and many of them have not received any apology or compensation from the Japanese to this day. But textbooks on the island have added "voluntary" footnotes to the Japanese comfort women system since the beginning of this century, claiming that many comfort women voluntarily became "comfort women" due to economic reasons. The Ma Ying-jeou government once wanted to fine-tune the Taiwan curriculum outline, one of the key points was to highlight the fact that Japan forced the recruitment of comfort women . However, this was subject to large protests from the DPP. In January 2014, the government of Ma Ying-jeou proposed a revision idea. On February 5, Tainan City, Kaohsiung City, Pingtung County, Yilan County, , Yunlin County and Chiayi County, which were ruled by the Democratic Progressive Party. After a full year of tug-of-war, the Ma Ying-jeou authorities withdrew their proposal for fine-tuning, and the DPP won a great victory.
If you want to destroy the country, you must destroy the history first
Democratic Progressive Party has always been two sides. In name, it advocates that the power to choose textbooks will be returned to the hands of schools and teachers. In fact, it is secretly to implement the "cultural Taiwan independence" policy. The state they want to achieve is that there can only be textbooks that declare "independence" on Taiwan Island, no textbooks that support "unification", and even the teaching materials that advocate "unification" cannot appear. Hanlin Publishing Co., Ltd. in Tainan City, Taiwan Province is a publisher of textbooks on the island. The teaching materials it prints are also loved by parents. In 2008, the "Winner Full Score Illustration Question Collection - Chinese History" printed and published by Hanlin Company caused an uproar. It marked Taiwan Island as the Taiwan Special Administrative Region under the jurisdiction of of the People's Republic of China, and then suddenly poked the hornet's nest. The DPP is carrying a large number of people to attack the publishing house. At that time, Ma Ying-jeou had just taken power and was at its peak. His eyes seemed to have not noticed such a small incident. The result is that under a lot of pressure, the publishing house chose to apologize for all its employees and removed all the teaching materials involved.
Taiwan society is in a turbulent tide
2009 Hanlin Company mentioned Taiwan’s “228 Incident” in the second semester of history teachers’ lesson preparation teaching books for the second semester of the first grade of junior high school. This large-scale social security incident caused by accident has long been regarded as an ancestral tablet by the Democratic Progressive Party and worshipped. Hanlin Company classified the "Taiwan independence thought" that broke out during the "February 28 Incident" into the negative influence, and also used negative words to describe Taiwan independence behavior and Lee Teng-hui's "localization consciousness". This made Guan Biling, a representative of the legislative body of the DPP, very angry, and publicly scolded Hanlin Company. Hanlin Company can only express its apology in a press release, and at the same time admits that there is indeed controversy in this part of the statement, and will reprint and delete the relevant remarks. In fact, comments about historical events are inherently questionable. On today's Taiwan island, "Taiwan independence" is still a ghost trick that cannot stand the light of day. However, the DPP wants to make it completely rational. They play the edge ball through a series of small tricks such as textbooks and modify the collective memory of young people in a slowly penetrating way.
Soviets Berlin, Germany
The means to modify collective memory through textbooks has long been a skilled trick by Western forces such as the United States and has been widely used during the Cold War. For example, in the European battlefield of World War II , the Soviet Union should have been the main attacker, making the greatest sacrifice and contributing the greatest strength. Before , the United States had always provided support by providing loans, weapons to the Soviet Union, and did not appear on the front battlefield. However, under the operation of the United States and other countries, many young people's World War II hero who defeated the German Nazis in their memory was the United States. The image of "Captain America" created by the United States in movies and comics is also to deepen this impression. During the Cold War of the United States and the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union's contribution to the World War II almost disappeared in Western history textbooks, even in East Asia textbooks. collapses the glorious history and discredits the heroes of the past. The purpose is to make the cognition of the next generation confusing so that external forces can take advantage of the situation and make waves.
Captain America
I have always believed that compared with ugly and vulgar textbook illustrations, the text descriptions in the textbooks should also be carefully reviewed and revised. For example, in Taiwanese textbooks, "forced recruitment of comfort women" and "comfort women" are two different meanings. Such obscure expressions can make Taiwanese youth illusions unknowingly. plus the existence of a "red light district" in Taiwan society until 2003, which will also make many Taiwanese youth connect with reality and assume that some of the comfort women voluntarily act as comfort women for their livelihood. This way, it confuses the original good and evil, right and wrong. Text is far more contagious than illustrations and can point directly to people's hearts. "Japanese occupation of Taiwan" and "Japanese control of Taiwan" are only one word different, but they erased the identity of Japanese colonists and colonial crimes in Taiwan. Young people who have accepted the knowledge of the textbooks will no longer hold grudges against Japan. Instead, they will "grate" Japan because of the description of Japan's governance of Taiwan in the textbooks, which is tantamount to recognizing a thief as a father.
Absurd text in mainland children's books
Half a month ago, someone pointed out that MacArthur 's article "Responsibility-Honor-National" also entered the "General High School Curriculum Standard Experimental Textbook Supporting Books Chinese Reading Books Compulsory Three". The local said: " This publication has been suspended in 2020, and the relevant responsible persons will be held accountable in the future. ." But this also indirectly proves that it is true that MacArthur's text has been included in the textbook. As an excellent military general, MacArthur made outstanding contributions to the Pacific battlefield of World War II. His military talents deserve respect, but this cannot change his crimes committed by the Korean battlefield against me, the volunteer army, and his sinister intentions to use tactical nuclear strikes against us. In fact, the focus of the articles selected in Chinese textbooks is on the spirit. The honor and sense of responsibility of soldiers to the country expressed in MacArthur's "Responsibility-Honor-Nation" is also reflected in many of our country's military works. , especially Chairman Mao’s related military works and collections, also have corresponding expressions. If our country’s articles are used to express this emotion, I believe it will not cause a series of controversy.
MacArthur
"Poisonous textbook" incident is related to the cultivation of the next generation, and the emergence of many important issues is related to education. Today's youth aesthetics are gradually developing towards the level of "lowering young people", and the atmosphere of respecting the United States, Japan, and South Korea still exists. We are not easy to interfere in introducing these foreign cultural elements for commercial purposes in society. However, the textbooks should be our bottom line and red line, and we must never relax our vigilance. The Tsai Ing-wen authorities on Taiwan Island are now gradually replacing Chinese teaching with English teaching, in the name of "internationalization of education". They should cultivate students into "world citizens", but the fundamental thing is to "de-Sinicization". Once upon a time, similar trends were once popular in the mainland, and even the reasons were similar. Why don’t we speculate on the real purpose? education field can accommodate all kinds of rivers, but it still needs to " be the main focus of me and use for my use". If we take the initiative to give up our cultural foundation, then cultural exchanges will become "cultural infiltration", which is also what we need to pay attention to.
