Do you know what the old document says in Chinese? It says that Korean language Hangul has been invented for the ignorant people.
Before Japan-Korea annexation in 1910, almost 100% of Koreans were illiterate as they were oppressed by Chinese. Japan promoted use of Hangul by establishing more than 3,000 schools and one national university (now called Seoul University). The current education in South Korea has unjustifiably denied an apparent historical fact that Japan had long helped South Korea rebuild its nation even after it was devastated during the Korean war and that Japan had earlier developed Korea into a civilized peninsula during 35 years of annexation after Koreans vehemently sought help from Japan before 1910. Before Japan defeated Qing Dynasty (the last imperial dynasty of China, ruling from 1644 to 1912) in 1895, Korea was a complete vassal state of Qing Dynasty who had practiced brutal rule over Korea.
Read Koreans Return Evil for Good for readers' better understanding of Japan-Korea relations during 35 years of annexation.
