Chapter 357: Looking at the World with Level Eyes
Except for Qin Shaoyan, everyone else looked at the monument in confusion and surprise.

There is a pool in front of the monument, and the edge of the pool is paved with black and gray granite, the tone is very solemn.

Qin Shaoyan walked forward and pointed at the dark grey granite beside the pool. "I didn't bring you here to see the monument. That's not the point. I brought you here to see this!"

The students' eyes shifted to the granite paving the pool, and they were surprised to find some data engraved on it.

Although the words engraved on it were all English words, the students were able to understand the meaning of the words easily.

die:

United States: 54246, United Nations: 628833
Missing:

United States: 8177, United Nations: 470267
Captured:

United States: 7140, United Nations: 92970
Injuried:

United States: 103248, United Nations: 1064453
Qin Shaoyan said in a deep voice: "What the United States calls the Korean War is the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea recorded in our history books. The figures above are all official U.S. records of the deaths, missing persons, prisoners and injuries of U.S. and UN troops during the entire war."

Everyone present was silent, looking at the clear groups of numbers engraved on it, as if blockbuster bombs were exploding in their minds, constantly impacting their cognition and world outlook.

The impact these figures had on the Chinese university student representatives was unprecedented. They stared at the figures in shock, their minds colliding violently.

The college student representatives have more or less learned history and are aware of the important event of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea.

However, the book is rather brief, simply describing the causes and consequences of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, the start and end time, several important historical nodes in the middle, and the final historical significance.

Apart from this, students do not have much knowledge of the more detailed aspects of the war.

For example, the book says that China won the victory in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, but it is not clear how China won and how many casualties occurred on both sides.

The materials that students have access to, such as "Who is the Most Lovely Person" in the Chinese textbook, all reflect the cruelty of this war from a side perspective, giving everyone a vague understanding that our side suffered heavy casualties and the war was very tragic.

Before seeing the numbers on the granite, these students had never thought about, or realized, that war would not only cause casualties on one side, but also how many casualties did the other side suffer?
Now after seeing these numbers, their cognition was overturned in an instant.

The students discovered that the other side also suffered a lot of casualties.

The total death toll exceeded 68, the missing persons exceeded 47, and the total number of injured was 116.7 million.

Calculated in this way, the total casualties exceeded 243 million.

Everyone felt a sense of unreality after seeing these numbers. Did we really do this?
Will it be fake?

However, they immediately rejected this idea. This is the official record of the United States and an irrefutable fact.

At this time, a student suddenly asked: "Mr. Qin, do you know how many casualties our volunteer army suffered?"

Qin Shaoyan thought for a moment, "According to the official figures, 71.8 enemies were annihilated, nearly 36.6 were killed, and the total number of injured was ."

The students were once again shocked by these figures. Our side also paid the price of more than 360,000 casualties.

If we look at this number alone, our victory can be said to be quite tragic.

But compared with the casualties officially announced by the United States, it seems that the enemy's casualties are even worse. The enemy annihilation figures we announced ourselves do not match the official figures of the United States, and they seem to be very conservative.

The students don't understand the inside story, but the numbers they see are real.

"Students," Qin Shaoyan said solemnly, stepping on the numbers on the granite. "Anyone who has studied history knows what kind of situation our country faced during the Korean War. At that time, New China had just been established, and there were still large areas of land that had not been liberated, and banditry was rampant."

"At that time, the country had gone through decades of war and was extremely poor and an agricultural country."

"And what was the United States like at that time? It could be said that it was the undisputed world's number one superpower, with an industrial production capacity exceeding half of the world's total. It had just won the Second World War and its national strength was at its peak. In addition, there were the UN forces, and many of the countries in it were established developed countries."

"Faced with an enemy armed to the teeth, our soldiers were poorly dressed and had simple weapons. But it was this group of the most lovely people who were brave and fearless in the face of an enemy with superior naval and air firepower. With strong leadership, wise strategy, fearless spirit and superb tactics, and with backward military equipment and inadequate logistical supplies, they defeated the United States and won the victory."

"These revolutionary martyrs of ours were covered in blood and mud. Their generation suffered the hardships of three generations, fought for three generations, and brought decades of peace to our country."

Qin Shaoyan looked around solemnly and said slowly: "I didn't bring you here to give you a history lesson or to cheer you up."

"I just want to tell you that although our country is still a developing country, there is still a big gap between us and developed countries."

"But I hope you won't be self-deprecating or self-deprecating in your personality, and don't belittle yourself when you face the gap."

"We have always been looking up to the developed countries in the world. I hope that starting from your generation, we can look at the world on an equal footing."

“I hope that everyone can inherit the heroic, fearless, wise and flexible spirit of our predecessors, and defeat strong opponents and demonstrate their strength in the upcoming UN debates and on the podium.”

The college students below kept staring at Qin Shaoyan, and when he finished his last sentence, they burst into warm applause.

An inexplicable power surged in their hearts. Although they couldn't say that their blood was boiling, it was as if a fire was ignited in their hearts, and it was warm.

Suddenly I felt that there was nothing to be afraid of about those American college students.

It is not shameful to be unable to defeat your opponent, but it is shameful to lose your courage before the fight.

At this time, the TV series "Drawing Sword" had not been broadcast yet, otherwise these students would have shouted, "Draw the sword when encountering an enemy!"

Director Wang watched the students' fighting spirit rise visibly and couldn't help but admire them. "Boss Qin is really amazing. His speech is of a very high standard and his angles are very well thought out."

"Director Wang, you are too kind. I am just an ordinary person and I am just talking nonsense." Qin Shaoyan said modestly with a smile.

"How can you say that? You are too modest." Director Wang thought for a moment, "Don't be self-deprecating or self-deprecating in terms of personality. Don't belittle yourself when facing the gap. I hope that starting from your generation, you can look at the world with equal eyes."

"These two sentences are well said, especially the one about looking at the world from a level perspective. I will write them down and show them to my boss later."

"Ah?!" Qin Shaoyan was shocked and felt a little guilty, "Isn't this... not appropriate?"

"It's appropriate, very appropriate!" Director Wang said happily, "Don't worry, President Qin, I will write that it is your original work."

"..."The cold sweat on Qin Shaoyan's face was about to burst out.
