mankun Posted July 22, 2001 Report Share Posted July 22, 2001 This is my first time on this board. Great site! I had followed the Chinese-Armenian Typhoon missile deal last year. It got a lot of heat from the Azerbaijanian/Turkish sides. But, I do admire Armenians a lot. Both the Armenians and my Chinese people are clever/money-making types and we have gone through many massacres and persecutions in our long respective histories. Only difference: we had Great Wall and a large population. question: have there ever been any Chinese-Armenian encounter in our historic past? We know about Persians, but have not heard of Armenians until this century. There is a famous general/adventurer in our history from over 2,000 years ago. His ambassodor had traveled to Parthia (Persia) and East Romans. So, I guess in between, he must have came into contact with Armenians? thanks.

mankun Posted July 23, 2001 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2001 thank you Garo. My nick is a common one among Chinese. It has the same meaning as the Arabic "fedayeen." By, the way, did this Mamigonyan family play a major role in Armenian history. Mersi! Someday I will visit your great nation! China should someday acknowledge this part of our history and especially the Genocide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mankun Posted July 23, 2001 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2001 Thorny Rose, Yes those Monkey King adventure stories are based on the real travel experiences of a 6th century AD Chinese Buddhist pilgrim who traveled west in today's Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan and Pakistan. enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
