Welcome!  Baby Year 2014:

You know, son (yes, sonny, for you're growing up v fast and at the
end of 12 short months you shall retire as a white-hair old man) 120 years
ago (from 1 August 1894 to 17 April 1895) the First Sino-Japanese
War was launched by Japan -- an emergent power after the succesful
Meiji restoration --  against Qing-dynasty China to primarily wrestle
control over Korea.



            以史為鑒:
          前事不忘，後事之師。

         Forget not major events in history -–

         They’re  mirror-pointers for humanity.
