THE AINU BABE OF OLD HOKKAIDO -- Japanese Citizen, but NOT "Japanese"

Hi ! My name is ASAKO MIYAMOTO. Welcome to Hokkaido, and the "good old days" of Japan ! Hey, isn't ASAKO a "Japanese" name ? Yup, under the cultural and administrative pressures of the occupying Japanese, we Ainu in the North (just like the Okinawans in the South), we have been encouraged by the Government to dump our "embarrassing" old native names in favor of "civilized" Japanese names. After all, we won't officially exist or be recognized by the Government as an indigenous people apart…

Ching Shih – From Prostitute to Infamous Female Pirate

Ching Shih (or Zheng Shi) was a Chinese prostitute who became a powerful female pirate, controlling the infamous Red Flag Fleet. The fleet grew under her command, with expanding reserves of loot, and an organized system of business. Eventually, Ching Shih sought amnesty when offered by the Chinese government, but not without first negotiating to maintain the riches and power she earned as a pirate lord.

Zheng Shi "Ching Shih (1775–1844) (Zheng Shi; Jihng Sih; "widow of Zheng") was a prominent pirate in middle Qing China, who terrorized the China Sea in the early 19th century. She commanded over 300 junks manned by 20,000 to 40,000 pirates. Another estimate has Cheng's fleet at 1800 and crew at about 80,000. Undefeated, she would become one of China and Asia's strongest pirates, and one of world history's most powerful pirates. She was also one of the few pirate captains to retire from piracy."
