The Chinese Civil War between the Communists and the nationalists is reenacted in China.
They are cool and have no problem, because, one side is regarded bad or evil, and the other good ones or saviours. Hence there is no sympathy clash thing. Hence everybody enjoys the good ones beating the bad ones.
:) chinese not very good on appropriation, eh?
There has been great sympathy and admiration for Confederate forces and leaders in America , even after they lost. Because the side was viewed as brave, and deserving a legacy. The victors could not and did not brand the Confederates as dishonorable scoundrels, blood hungry monsters and cruel war criminals. Don't we see people naming their kids after Confederate generals?
Well, Robert Lee Frost :)
