   Can you name the political group? Do you mean the Japanese communists?

   I am quite disappointed about this kind of patriotism and this kind of 
average social spirit. 
   Can we use the word "myth" for something unlikely to be true, according
to the facts.

   You sounds not to be willing to admit the truth, even if they are true.
It does not matter what they teach. It is important that if it really 
happened, do you have enough courage to face to it. You can never find 
the truth, if you think "the average" way.

  Yes, everything including France and Vo An Ninh's pictures. I don't 
know why you nullify those pictures, just because of the average thinking
and the delegation that represents a "special political group".
  
  The evidences in the Japan Defense Archives would potentially reveal
the truths, and you don't know what they are. The Vo An Ninh's pictures
do say something, until you cannot prove they are fake.

 That Vnmese People died in mass in North VN in 1945 was fact. There are 
still many contemporaries who witnessed this tragedy including my parents.
That the Japanese Army force was in power in VN ( not the French ) was fact.
You are welcome to prove that if The Japanese Army would not have been there
the hunger had had occured unavoidably.

Then I would think that all stories in Vnmese Literature about that period
were "myth"s, even the writers were not taught in schools those "myths".

With the best regards
