I moved to Malaysia when I was <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">six months old<\/span> (so I don&#8217;t really say I moved there, my parents just brought me there) and grew up in a multi-cultural environment. I&#8217;ve made friends from around the world during my school years in an international school in Malaysia. I was always interested in learning the histories of countries around the world, but I rarely had the chance to learn Canadian history, even more through literature! Hence the reason why I decided to choose this course so that I can delve myself into Canadian history through literature.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">As most of you would know, Korea was a colony of Japan from 1910-1945. Our nation suffered the inhumane practices of Japan and fought for our freedom until 1945. However, <a href=\"https:\/\/thediplomat.com\/2018\/06\/why-the-comfort-women-issue-still-matters-70-years-later\/\">scars<\/a> from the war between the two countries still remain to this day. These scars can be neglected by the oppressing country and it can be forgotten through time. However, literature has the power that stops these little things from being forgotten. This is why I am so eager to learn more about indigenous Canadian history through the lens of literature because of the <a href=\"https:\/\/indigenousfoundations.arts.ubc.ca\/totem_poles\/\">remnants<\/a> of indigenous culture still existent in Canada up to this day.\u00a0 It may provide aspects of history that could have been easily neglected or forgotten.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">I expect to learn more about Canadian history and its cultures through literature and I am really excited about it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">It is my first time blogging and am still awkward with the system but I hope to make the most out of this learning experience. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">See you guys real soon!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-10 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/josephum\/files\/2020\/01\/canada-300x190.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"190\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/josephum\/files\/2020\/01\/canada-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/josephum\/files\/2020\/01\/canada-768x487.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/josephum\/files\/2020\/01\/canada.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Works Cited<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Shoji, Hiroka. \u201cWhy the &#8216;Comfort Women&#8217; Issue Still Matters, 70 Years Later.\u201d\u00a0<i>The Diplomat<\/i>.
