China's Communist government and its people are still mad as hell about losing the Sino-Japanese war which led to Japan's imperial conquest of Korea. I'm positive that everyone alive today no matter their age was kicking around back in 1894.
So to insure that passions are sufficiently inflamed the government decided to build a time machine and not just any time machine either
They built their time machine into a Delorean invented by Doc. Emmett Brown with an assist from Marty. I'm sure its a little unformatable jamming all those people in there but, hey its all for a good cause.
Years in the making, the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-5 was fought for control of Korea, which at the time paid formal tribute to China's Qing emperors but was increasingly coveted by Tokyo, whose ambition was to emulate the empires of the Western powers.The shooting began with a naval clash off Korea's west coast in late July, a week before war was formally declared on August 1, 1894.
For China, the long ago war may as well have been yesterday. The anniversary has been frequent fodder for the country's state-controlled newspapers, magazines and television.In an editorial last week, the state-run China Daily newspaper said the defeat by China's "worst enemy in history" still forms "an open wound in (the) Chinese national psyche".
