If you had been born on the other side of history, would the heroes carved into monuments and celebrated in history books still be heroes to you?

Looking at the histories of Scotland, Canada, and Taiwan, whenever different cultures intersected, the dominant group almost always decided whose beliefs, systems, and way of life were worth keeping, and whose had to be sacrificed or rewritten. In mainstream stories, these actions were always tied to ideas like 'modernization' and 'progress.' But we have to ask: who was this progress actually for? And in the rapid rush of history, what did we leave behind?

Rethinking history isn't about denying the past—it's about creating a more equal dialogue. Only by facing forgotten memories head-on can we help those who were silenced reclaim their voices to tell their own history.
