Evidently, however, my talk made some Chinese visiting scholars in the audience uneasy. Later, I heard that a Chinese scholar couple, offended by my presumably biased opinion of the Korea War, complained to an American professor, asserting that it was China, not the United Nations, that saved Korea from Western aggression. Such a statement may ring true to North Koreans, but not to South Koreans. Yet the Chinese scholars could not accept a South Korean’s version of the Korean War, which was radically different from what they had learned in China. Obviously, it did not occur to them that in the eyes of South Koreans, the Chinese intervention decisively hampered the unification of the Korean Peninsula. After all, history can be perceived differently by different peoples and countries.
