While China sends astronauts to space to promote national unity and Dragon Boat Festival joy, they conveniently forget: the festival celebrates Qu Yuan, who spent his life fighting against unification under Qin.
He advocated allying with other states to preserve Chu’s independence and warned against submitting to the ‘tiger-wolf’ Qin.
Today’s narrative worships the conqueror (Qin) but reveres the resistor (Qu Yuan).
Yet today’s CCP uses films, dramas, and state media to steer public opinion: portraying Qin Shi Huang as a visionary unifier and ‘benevolent’ emperor, while downplaying or excusing his tyranny — burning books, burying scholars alive, mass conscription, and brutal conquests.
Qu Yuan fought against everything the modern narrative now glorifies. The historical gaslighting is next-level. 🐉
Which ‘patriot’ does the Party actually admire?
