Martin Luther King Memorial

It always has controversy in DC’s memorial monuments. The last one is Maya Lin’s Vietnam Memorial. Now, even the critics at the time admit it is one of the greatest memorial monuments ever if not the greatest. Every day, it has touched many and moved them to tears.

The concept of touching the sky and the land is most likely a Chinese concept and most likely an idea from her parents. The simple concept of including the names of the fallen heroes is genius that their relatives can show off the graver marker in their living room. The granite also cleverly reflects ourselves literally and all the soldiers' names are recorded for ever.

There should be no border in honoring a world-class hero. Is it racist that we did not complain on the Statue of Liberty which was built by French?

To the Chinese bashers: There are no radioactivity elements implanted in the rocks that could kill every one in DC and no modern-day Trojan Horse.
