The fall of Nanjing in December 1937 marked a pivotal juncture in the Second Sino-Japanese War, ushering in a brutal phase of attrition that shaped both strategy and diplomacy in early 1938. As Japanese forces sought to restructure China's political order, their strategy extended beyond battlefield victories to the establishment of puppet arrangements and coercive diplomacy. Soviet aid provided critical support, while German and broader Axis diplomacy wavered, shaping a nuanced backdrop for China's options. In response, Chinese command decisions focused on defending crucial rail corridors and urban strongholds, with Wuhan emerging as a strategic hub and the Jinpu and Longhai railways becoming lifelines of resistance. The defense around Xuzhou and the Huai River system illustrated Chinese determination to prolong resistance despite daunting odds. By early 1938, the war appeared as a drawn-out struggle, with China conserving core bases even as Japan pressed toward central China.   #170 The Battle of Taierzhuang Welcome to the Fall and Rise of China Podcast, I am your dutiful host Craig Watson.

Following their victory at Nanjing, the Japanese North China Area Army sought to push southward and link up with the Japanese Eleventh Army between Beijing and Nanjing. The two formations were intended to advance along the northern and southern ends of the JinPu railway, meet at Xuzhou, and then coordinate a pincer movement into Chinese strongholds in the Central Yangtze region, capturing Jiujiang first and then Wuhan. Recognizing Xuzhou's strategic importance, Chinese leadership made its defense a top priority. Xuzhou stood at the midpoint of the JinPu line and at the intersection with the Longhai Line, China's main east–west corridor from Lanzhou to Lianyungang. If seized, Japanese control of these routes would grant mobility for north–south movement across central China. At the end of January, Chiang Kai-shek convened a military conference in Wuchang and declared the defense of Xuzhou the highest strategic objective. Chinese preparations expanded from an initial core of 80,000 troops to about 300,000, deployed along the JinPu and Longhai lines to draw in and overstretch Japanese offensives. A frightening reality loomed by late March 1938: the Japanese were nearing victory on the Xuzhou front. The North China Area Army, led by Generals Itagaki Seishirô, Nishio Toshizô, and Isogai Rensuke, aimed to link up with the Central China Expeditionary Force under General Hata Shunroku for a coordinated drive into central China. Li Zongren and his senior colleagues, including Generals Bai Chongxi and Tang Enbo, resolved to meet the Japanese at the traditional stone-walled city of Taierzhuang. Taierzhuang was not large, but it held strategic significance. It sat along the Grand Canal, China's major north–south waterway, and on a rail line that connected the Jinpu and Longhai lines, thus bypassing Xuzhou. Chiang Kai-shek himself visited Xuzhou on March 24. While Xuzhou remained in Chinese hands, the Japanese forces to the north and south were still separated. Losing Xuzhou would close the pincer. By late March, Chinese troops seemed to be gaining ground at Taierzhuang, but the Japanese began reinforcing, pulling soldiers from General Isogai Rensuke's column. The defending commanders grew uncertain about their ability to hold the position, yet Chiang Kai-shek made his stance clear in an April 1, 1938 telegram: “the enemy at Taierzhuang must be destroyed.” Chiang Kai-shek dispatched his Vice Chief of Staff, Bai Chongxi, to Xuzhou in January 1938. Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi were old comrades from the New Guangxi Clique, and their collaboration dated back to the Northern Expedition, including the Battle of Longtan. Li also received the 21st Group Army from the 3rd War Area. This Guangxi unit, commanded by Liao Lei, comprised the 7th and 47th Armies. Around the same time, Sun Zhen's 22nd Group Army, another Sichuan clique unit, arrived in the Shanxi-Henan region, but was rebuffed by both Yan Xishan, then commander of the 2nd War Area and Shanxi's chairman and Cheng Qian, commander of the 1st War Area and Henan's chairman. Yan and Cheng harbored strong reservations about Sichuan units due to discipline issues, notably their rampant opium consumption. Under Sun Zhen's leadership, the 22nd Group Army deployed four of its six divisions to aid the Northern China effort. Organized under the 41st and 45th Armies, the contingent began a foot march toward Taiyuan on September 1, covering more than 50 days and approximately 1,400 kilometers. Upon reaching Shanxi, they faced a harsh, icy winter and had no winter uniforms or even a single map of the province. They nevertheless engaged the Japanese for ten days at Yangquan, suffering heavy casualties. Strapped for supplies, they broke into a Shanxi clique supply depot, which enraged Yan Xishan and led to their expulsion from the province. The 22nd withdrew westward into the 1st War Area, only to have its request for resupply rejected by Cheng Qian. Meanwhile to the south Colonel Rippei Ogisu led Japanese 13th Division to push westward from Nanjing in two columns during early February: the northern column targeted Mingguang, while the southern column aimed for Chuxian. Both routes were checked by Wei Yunsong's 31st Army, which had been assigned to defend the southern stretch of the Jinpu railway under Li Zongren. Despite facing a clearly inferior force, the Japanese could not gain ground after more than a month of sustained attacks. In response, Japan deployed armored and artillery reinforcements from Nanjing. The Chinese withdrew to the southwestern outskirts of Dingyuan to avoid a direct clash with their reinforced adversaries. By this point, Yu Xuezhong's 51st Army had taken up a defensive position on the northern banks of the Huai River, establishing a line between Bengbu and Huaiyuan. The Japanese then captured Mingguang, Dingyuan, and Bengbu in succession and pressed toward Huaiyuan. However, their supply lines were intercepted by the Chinese 31st Corps, which conducted flanking attacks from the southwest. The situation worsened when the Chinese 7th Army, commanded by Liao Lei, arrived at Hefei to reinforce the 31st Army. Facing three Chinese corps simultaneously, the Japanese were effectively boxed south of the Huai River and, despite air superiority and a superior overall firepower, could not advance further. As a result, the Chinese thwarted the Japanese plan to move the 13th Division north along the Jinpu railway and link up with the Isogai 10th Division to execute a pincer against Xuzhou. Meanwhile in the north, after amphibious landings at Qingdao, the Japanese 5th Division, commanded by Seishiro Itagaki, advanced southwest along the Taiwei Highway, spearheaded by its 21st Infantry Brigade. They faced Pang Bingxun's 3rd Group Army. Although labeled a Group Army, Pang's force actually comprised only the 40th Army, which itself consisted of the 39th Division from the Northwestern Army, commanded by Ma-Fawu. The 39th Division's five regiments delayed the Japanese advance toward Linyi for over a month. The Japanese captured Ju County on 22 February and moved toward Linyi by 2 March. The 59th Army, commanded by Zhang Zizhong, led its troops on a forced march day and night toward Linyi. Seizing the opportunity, the 59th Army did not rest after reaching Yishui. In the early morning of the 14th, Zhang Zizhong ordered the entire army to covertly cross the Yishui River and attack the right flank of the Japanese “Iron Army” 5th Division. They broke through enemy defenses at Tingzitou, Dataiping, Shenjia Taiping, Xujia Taiping, and Shalingzi. Initially caught off guard, the enemy sustained heavy losses, and over a night more than a thousand Japanese soldiers were annihilated. The 59th Army fought fiercely, engaging in brutal hand-to-hand combat. By 4:00 a.m. on the 17th, the 59th Army had secured all of the Japanese main positions. That same day, Pang Bingxun seized the moment to lead his troops in a fierce flank attack, effectively supporting the 59th Army's frontal assault. On the 18th, Zhang and Pang's forces attacked the Japanese from the east, south, and west. After three days and nights of bloody fighting, they finally defeated the 3rd Battalion of the 11th Regiment, which had crossed the river, and annihilated most of it. The 59th Army completed its counterattack but suffered over 6,000 casualties, with more than 2,000 Japanese killed or wounded. News of the Linyi victory prompted commendations from Chiang Kai-shek and Li Zongren. General Li Zongren, commander of the 5th War Zone, judged that the Japanese were temporarily unable to mount a large-scale offensive and that Linyi could be held for the time being. On March 20, he ordered the 59th Army westward to block the Japanese Seya Detachment. On March 21, the Japanese Sakamoto Detachment, after a brief reorganization and learning of the Linyi detachment, launched another offensive. The 3rd Corps, understrength and without reinforcements, was compelled to retreat steadily before the Japanese. General Pang Bingxun, commander of the 3rd Corps, urgently telegraphed Chiang Kai-shek, requesting reinforcements. Chiang Kai-shek received the telegram and, at approximately 9:00 AM on the 23rd, ordered the 59th Army to return to Linyi to join with the 3rd Corps in repelling the Sakamoto Detachment. Fierce fighting ensued with heavy Chinese losses, and the situation in Linyi again grew precarious. At a critical moment, the 333rd Brigade of the 111th Division and the Cavalry Regiment of the 13th Army were rushed to reinforce Linyi. Facing attacks from two directions, the Japanese withdrew, losing almost two battalions in the process. This engagement shattered the myth of Japanese invincibility and embarrassed commander Seishirō Itagaki, even startling IJA headquarters. Although the 5th Division later regrouped and attempted another push, it had lost the element of surprise. The defeat at Linyi at the hands of comparatively poorly equipped Chinese regional units set the stage for the eventual battle at Tai'erzhuang. Of the three Japanese divisions advancing into the Chinese 5th War Area, the 10th Division, commanded by Rensuke Isogai, achieved the greatest initial success. Departing from Hebei, it crossed the Yellow River and moved south along the Jinpu railway. With KMT General Han Fuju ordering his forces to desert their posts, the Japanese captured Zhoucun and reached Jinan with little resistance. They then pushed south along two columns from Tai'an. The eastern column captured Mengyin before driving west to seize Sishui; the western column moved southwest along the Jinpu railway, capturing Yanzhou, Zouxian, and Jining, before turning northwest to take Wenshang. Chiang Kai-shek subsequently ordered Li Zongren to employ “offensive defense”, seizing the initiative to strike rather than merely defend. Li deployed Sun Zhen's 22nd Group Army to attack Zouxian from the south, while Pang Bingxun's 40th Division advanced north along the 22nd's left flank to strike Mengyin and Sishui. Sun Tongxuan's 3rd Group Army also advanced from the south, delivering a two-pronged assault on the Japanese at Jining. Fierce fighting from 12 to 25 February, particularly by the 12th Corps, helped mitigate the reputational damage previously inflicted on Shandong units by Han Fuju. In response to Chinese counterattacks, the Japanese revised their strategy: they canceled their original plan to push directly westward from Nanjing toward Wuhan, freeing more troops for the push toward Xuzhou. On March 15, the Japanese 10th Division struck the Chinese 122nd Division, focusing the action around Tengxian and Lincheng. Chinese reinforcements from the 85th Corps arrived the following day but were driven back on March 17. With air support, tanks, and heavy artillery, the Japanese breached the Chinese lines on March 18. The remaining Chinese forces, bolstered by the 52nd Corps, withdrew to the town of Yixian. The Japanese attacked Yixian and overran an entire Chinese regiment in a brutal 24-hour engagement. By March 19, the Japanese began advancing on the walled town of Taierzhuang. To counter the Japanese advance, the Chinese 2nd Army Group under General Sun Lianzhong was deployed to Taierzhuang. The 31st Division, commanded by General Chi Fengcheng, reached Taierzhuang on March 22 and was ordered to delay the Japanese advance until the remainder of the Army Group could arrive. On March 23, the 31st Division sallied from Taierzhuang toward Yixian, where they were engaged by two Japanese battalions reinforced with three tanks and four armored cars. The Chinese troops occupied a series of hills and managed to defend against a Japanese regiment (~3,000 men) for the rest of the day. On March 24, a Japanese force of about 5,000 attacked the 31st Division. Another Japanese unit pressed the Chinese from Yixian, forcing them to withdraw back into Taierzhuang itself. The Japanese then assaulted the town, with a 300-strong contingent breaching the northeast gate at 20:00. They were subsequently driven back toward the Chenghuang temple, which the Chinese set on fire, annihilating the Japanese force. The next day, the Japanese renewed the assault through the breached gate and secured the eastern portion of the district, while also breaking through the northwest corner from the outside and capturing the Wenchang Pavilion. On March 25, a morning Japanese onslaught was repelled. The Japanese then shelled Chinese positions with artillery and air strikes. In the afternoon, the Chinese deployed an armored train toward Yixian, which ambushed a column of Japanese soldiers near a hamlet, killing or wounding several dozen before retreating back to Taierzhuang. By nightfall, three thousand Chinese troops launched a night assault, pushing the Japanese lines northeast to dawn. The following three days subjected the Chinese defenders to sustained aerial and artillery bombardment. The Chinese managed to repulse several successive Japanese assaults but sustained thousands of casualties in the process. On March 28, Chinese artillery support arrived, including two 155 mm and ten 75 mm pieces. On the night of March 29, the Japanese finally breached the wall. Setting out from the district's southern outskirts, a Chinese assault squad stormed the Wenchang Pavilion from the south and east, killing nearly the entire Japanese garrison aside from four taken as prisoners of war. The Chinese then retook the northwest corner of the district. Even by the brutal standards already established in the war, the fighting at Taierzhuang was fierce, with combatants facing one another at close quarters. Sheng Cheng's notes preserve the battlefield memories of Chi Fengcheng, one of the campaign's standout officers “We had a battle for the little lanes [of the town], and unprecedentedly, not just streets and lanes, but even courtyards and houses. Neither side was willing to budge. Sometimes we'd capture a house, and dig a hole in the wall to approach the enemy. Sometimes the enemy would be digging a hole in the same wall at the same time. Sometimes we faced each other with hand grenades — or we might even bite each other. Or when we could hear that the enemy was in the house, then we'd climb the roof and drop bombs inside — and kill them all.” The battle raged for a week. On April 1, General Chi requested volunteers for a near-suicide mission to seize a building: among fifty-seven selected, only ten survived. A single soldier claimed to have fired on a Japanese bomber and succeeded in bringing it down; he and his comrades then set the aircraft ablaze before another plane could arrive to rescue the pilot. One participant described the brutal conditions of the battle “"The battle continued day and night. The flames lit up the sky. Often all that separated our forces was a single wall. The soldiers would beat holes in the masonry to snipe at each other. We would be fighting for days over a single building, causing dozens of fatalities." The conditions were so brutal that Chinese officers imposed severe measures to maintain discipline. Junior officers were repeatedly forbidden to retreat and were often ordered to personally replace casualties within their ranks. Li Zongren even warned Tang Enbo that failure to fulfill his duties would lead him to be “treated as Han Fuju had been.” In Taierzhuang's cramped streets, Japan's artillery and air superiority offered little advantage; whenever either service was employed amid the dense melee, casualties were roughly even on both sides. The fighting devolved into close-quarters combat carried out primarily by infantry, with rifles, pistols, hand grenades, bayonets, and knives forming the core of each side's arsenal. The battle unfolded largely hand-to-hand, frequently in darkness. The stone buildings of Taierzhuang provided substantial cover from fire and shrapnel. It was precisely under these close-quarters conditions that Chinese soldiers could stand as equals, if not superior, to their Japanese opponents, mirroring, in some respects, the experiences seen in Luodian, Shanghai, the year before. On March 31, General Sun Lianzhong arrived to assume command of the 2nd Army Group. A Japanese assault later that day was repulsed, but a Chinese counterattack also stalled. At 04:00 on April 1, the Japanese attacked the Chinese lines with support from 11 tanks. The Chinese defenders, armed with German-made 37mm Pak-36 antitank guns, destroyed eight of the armored vehicles at point-blank range. Similar incidents recurred throughout the battle, with numerous Japanese tanks knocked out by Chinese artillery and by suicide squads. In one engagement, Chinese suicide bombers annihilated four Japanese tanks with bundles of grenades. On April 2 and 3, Chi urged the Chinese defenders around Taierzhuang's north station to assess the evolving situation. The troops reported distress, crying and sneezing, caused by tear gas deployed by the Japanese against Chinese positions at Taierzhuang's north station, but the defenders remained unmoved. They then launched a massive armored assault outside the city walls, with 30 tanks and 60 armored cars, yet managed only to drive the Chinese 27th Division back to the Grand Canal. The fighting continued to rage on April 4 and 5. By then, the Japanese had captured roughly two-thirds of Taierzhuang, though the Chinese still held the South Gate. It was through this entry point that the Chinese command managed to keep their troops supplied. The Chinese also thwarted Japanese efforts to replenish their dwindling stocks of arms and ammunition. In consequence, the Japanese attackers were worn down progressively. Although the Japanese possessed superior firepower, including cannon and heavy artillery, the cramped conditions within Taierzhuang nullified this advantage for the moment. The Chinese command succeeded in keeping their own supplies flowing, a recurring weakness in other engagements and also prevented the Japanese from replenishing their dwindling stock of arms and bullets. Gradually, the Japanese maneuvered into a state of attrition. The deadlock of the battle was broken by events unfolding outside Taierzhuang, where fresh Chinese divisions had encircled the Japanese forces in Taierzhuang from the flanks and rear. After consulting their German advisors earlier, the commanders of the 5th War Area prepared a double envelopment of the exposed Japanese forces in Taierzhuang. Between March and April 1938, the Nationalist Air Force deployed squadrons from the 3rd and 4th Pursuit Groups, fighter-attack aircraft, in long-distance air interdiction and close-air support of the Taierzhuang operations. Approximately 30 aircraft, mostly Soviet-made, were deployed in bombing raids against Japanese positions. On 26 March, Tang Enbo's 20th Army, equipped with artillery units, attacked Japanese forces at Yixian, inflicting heavy casualties and routing the survivors. Tang then swung south to strike the Japanese flank northeast of Taierzhuang. Simultaneously, the Chinese 55th Corps, comprised of two divisions, executed a surprise crossing of the Grand Canal and cut the railway line near Lincheng. As a result, Tang isolated the Japanese attackers from their rear and severed their supply lines. On 1 April, the Japanese 5th Division sent a brigade to relieve the encircled 10th Division. Tang countered by blocking the brigade's advance and then attacking from the rear, driving them south into the encirclement. On 3 April, the Chinese 2nd Group Army launched a counter-offensive, with the 30th and 110th Divisions pushing northward into Beiluo and Nigou, respectively. By 6 April, the Chinese 85th and 52nd Armies linked up at Taodun, just west of Lanling. The combined force then advanced north-westward, capturing Ganlugou. Two more Chinese divisions arrived a few days later. By April 5, Taierzhuang's Japanese units were fully surrounded, with seven Chinese divisions to the north and four to the south closing in. The Japanese divisions inside Taierzhuang had exhausted their supplies, running critically low on ammunition, fuel, and food, while many troops endured fatigue and dehydration after more than a week of brutal fighting. Sensing imminent victory, the Chinese forces surged with renewed fury and attacked the encircled Japanese, executing wounded soldiers where they lay with rifle and pistol shots. Chinese troops also deployed Soviet tanks against the defenders. Japanese artillery could not reply effectively due to a shortage of shells, and their tanks were immobilized by a lack of fuel. Attempts to drop supplies by air failed, with most packages falling into Chinese hands. Over time, Japanese infantry were progressively reduced to firing only their machine guns and mortars, then their rifles and machine guns, and ultimately resorted to bayonet charges. With the success of the Chinese counter-attacks, the Japanese line finally collapsed on April 7. The 10th and 5th Divisions, drained of personnel and ammunition, were forced to retreat. By this point, around 2,000 Japanese soldiers managed to break out of Taierzhuang, leaving thousands of their comrades dead behind. Some of the escapees reportedly committed hara-kiri. Chinese casualties were roughly comparable, marking a significant improvement over the heavier losses suffered in Shanghai and Nanjing. The Japanese had lost the battle for numerous reasons. Japanese efforts were hampered by the "offensive-defensive" operations carried out by various Chinese regional units, effectively preventing the three Japanese divisions from ever linking up with each other. Despite repeated use of heavy artillery, air strikes, and gas, the Japanese could not expel the Chinese 2nd Group Army from Taierzhuang and its surrounding areas, even as the defenders risked total annihilation. The Japanese also failed to block the Chinese 20th Group Army's maneuver around their rear positions, which severed retreat routes and enabled a Chinese counter-encirclement. After Han Fuju's insubordination and subsequent execution, the Chinese high command tightened discipline at the top, transmitting a stringent order flow down to the ranks. This atmosphere of strict discipline inspired even junior soldiers to risk their lives in executing orders. A “dare-to-die corps” was effectively employed against Japanese units. They used swords and wore suicide vests fashioned from grenades. Due to a lack of anti-armor weaponry, suicide bombing was also employed against the Japanese. Chinese troops, as part of the “dare-to-die” corps, strapped explosives such as grenade packs or dynamite to their bodies and charged at Japanese tanks to blow them up.  The Chinese later asserted that about 20,000 Japanese had perished, though the actual toll was likely closer to 8,000. The Japanese also sustained heavy material losses. Because of fuel shortages and their rapid retreat, many tanks, trucks, and artillery pieces were abandoned on the battlefield and subsequently captured by Chinese forces. Frank Dorn recorded losses of 40 tanks, over 70 armored cars, and 100 trucks of various sizes. In addition to vehicles, the Japanese lost dozens of artillery pieces and thousands of machine guns and rifles. Many of these weapons were collected by the Chinese for future use. The Chinese side also endured severe casualties, possibly up to 30,000, with Taierzhuang itself nearly razed. Yet for once, the Chinese achieved a decisive victory, sparking an outburst of joy across unoccupied China. Du Zhongyuan wrote of “the glorious killing of the enemy,” and even Katharine Hand, though isolated in Japanese-controlled Shandong, heard the news. The victory delivered a much-needed morale boost to both the army and the broader population. Sheng Cheng recorded evening conversations with soldiers from General Chi Fengcheng's division, who shared light-hearted banter with their senior officer. At one moment, the men recalled Chi as having given them “the secret of war. when you get food, eat it; when you can sleep, take it.” Such familiar, brisk maxims carried extra resonance now that the Nationalist forces had demonstrated their willingness and ability to stand their ground rather than retreat. The victors may have celebrated a glorious victory, but they did not forget that their enemies were human. Chi recalled a scene he encountered: he had picked up a Japanese officer's helmet, its left side scorched by gunpowder, with a trace of blood, the mark of a fatal wound taken from behind. Elsewhere in Taierzhuang, relics of the fallen were found: images of the Buddha, wooden fish, and flags bearing slogans. A makeshift crematorium in the north station had been interrupted mid-process: “Not all the bones had been completely burned.” After the battle, Li Zongren asked Sheng if he had found souvenirs on the battlefield. Sheng replied that he had discovered love letters on the corpses of Japanese soldiers, as well as a photograph of a girl, perhaps a hometown sweetheart labeled “19 years old, February 1938.” These details stood in stark contrast to news coverage that depicted the Japanese solely as demons, devils, and “dwarf bandits.” The foreign community noted the new, optimistic turn of events and the way it seemed to revive the resistance effort. US ambassador Nelson Johnson wrote to Secretary of State Cordell Hull from Wuhan just days after Taierzhuang, passing on reports from American military observers: one had spent time in Shanxi and been impressed by Communist success in mobilizing guerrilla fighters against the Japanese; another had spent three days observing the fighting at Taierzhuang and confirmed that “Chinese troops in the field there won a well-deserved victory over Japanese troops, administering the first defeat that Japanese troops have suffered in the field in modern times.” This reinforced Johnson's view that Japan would need to apply far more force than it had anticipated to pacify China. He noted that the mood in unoccupied China had likewise shifted. “Conditions here at Hankow have changed from an atmosphere of pessimism to one of dogged optimism. The Government is more united under Chiang and there is a feeling that the future is not entirely hopeless due to the recent failure of Japanese arms at Hsuchow [Xuzhou] . . . I find no evidence for a desire for a peace by compromise among  Chinese, and doubt whether the Government could persuade its army or its people to accept such a peace. The spirit of resistance is slowly spreading among the people who are awakening to a feeling that this is their war. Japanese air raids in the interior and atrocities by Japanese soldiers upon civilian populations are responsible for this stiffening of the people.”. The British had long been wary of Chiang Kai-shek, but Sir Archibald Clark Kerr, the British ambassador in China, wrote to the new British foreign secretary, Lord Halifax, on April 29, 1938, shortly after the Taierzhuang victory, and offered grudging credit to China's leader “[Chiang] has now become the symbol of Chinese unity, which he himself has so far failed to achieve, but which the Japanese are well on the way to achieving for him . . . The days when Chinese people did not care who governed them seem to have gone . . . my visit to Central China from out of the gloom and depression of Shanghai has left me stimulated and more than disposed to believe that provided the financial end can be kept up Chinese resistance may be so prolonged and effective that in the end the Japanese effort may be frustrated . . . Chiang Kai-shek is obstinate and difficult to deal with . . . Nonetheless [the Nationalists] are making in their muddlIn the exhilaration of a rare victory”. Chiang pressured Tang and Li to build on their success, increasing the area's troop strength to about 450,000. Yet the Chinese Army remained plagued by deeper structural issues. The parochialism that had repeatedly hampered Chiang's forces over the past six months resurfaced. Although the various generals had agreed to unite in a broader war of resistance, each prioritized the safety of his own troops, wary of any move by Chiang to centralize power. For example, Li Zongren refrained from utilizing his top Guangxi forces at Taierzhuang, attempting to shift the bulk of the fighting onto Tang Enbo's units. The generals were aware of the fates of two colleagues: Han Fuju of Shandong was executed for his refusal to fight, while Zhang Xueliang of Manchuria had allowed Chiang to reduce the size of his northeastern army and ended up under house arrest. They were justified in distrusting Chiang. He truly believed, after all, that provincial armies should come under a national military command led by himself. From a national-unity standpoint, Chiang's aim was not unreasonable. But it bred suspicion among other military leaders that participation in the anti-Japanese war would erode their own power. The fragmented command structure also hindered logistics, making ammunition and food supplies to the front unreliable and easy to cut off a good job of things in extremely difficult circumstances.

The Chinese victory at the battle of Tairzhuang was a much needed morale boost after the long string of defeats to Japan. As incredible as it was however, it would amount to merely a bloody nose for the Imperial Japanese Army. Now Japan would unleash even more devastation to secure Xuzhou and ultimately march upon Wuhan.

CELÝ ROZHOVOR V DÉLCE 64 MIN. JEN NA ⁠HTTPS://HEROHERO.CO/CESTMIR⁠⁠⁠⁠ A ⁠HTTPS://FORENDORS.CZ/CESTMIR „Někteří lidé nejsou rádi, když se někdo má dobře,“ říká zpěvák a skladatel Michal David. Hitmaker, který vyprodává haly i po dekádách kariéry, se nevyhnul kritice ani nálepkám „režimního zpěváka“. „To je úděl nás známých. Vždycky budeme pod drobnohledem,“ vidí za tím hudebník. Přesto věří, že ho žádná politika ani režim nedržely nad vodou – vždy to podle něj bylo jen publikum a fanoušci, kteří umělce buď chtějí, nebo ne. “S tím nikomu žádný režim ani úplatky nepomohou,” říká David. Pak ale přišla chvíle, která jeho život změnila navždy. V roce 2000 zemřela jeho devítiletá dcera. „To je rána, na kterou nejste připraveni nikdy. Rozpadá se vám systém a v podstatě se s tím nevyrovnáte, jen se s tím naučíte nějakým způsobem žít,“ přiznává s tím, že bolavou ztrátu nedokáže zpracovat dodnes. „Její fotky u nás doma nikdy nepůjdou pryč. Ona je pořád součástí našeho života, byť tu s námi byla jen devět let,“ vzpomíná David na dceru. Na začátku mu ale pomáhala hlubinná terapie i víra v reinkarnaci. „Začal jsem věřit, že naše duše někam putují. Věřím tomu, protože to má nějaký smysl,“ říká. O své senzibilitě mluví otevřeně – od dětství umí vykládat karty a i dnes hledá duchovní vysvětlení v těžkých chvílích. Součástí jeho příběhu je ale i obrovský návrat. Po Naganu, kdy hokejisté zpívali jeho hity, se zrodila nová Davidománie. „Nemusí to být nějaké obrovské umění. Jsme tu proto, abychom lidi bavili, aby si u písničky odpočinuli, zazpívali ji a měli dobrou náladu,“ říká o hudbě. Důležité je pro něj, aby i nové skladby obstály – třeba píseň Náš cíl, kterou napsal manželce k výročí a kterou si fanoušci dnes žádají na koncertech. „To je skoro zázrak, když se povede, že lidi chtějí novou věc,“ dodává David. Jak se zpěvák, který o sobě říká, že je „proplouvač středem“, dívá na své škatulkování, období před rokem 1989 i dřívější zapojení do politiky? Co pro něj znamenalo vyznamenání od prezidenta Zemana a jak vnímá dnešní slávu i zodpovědnost před fanoušky, kteří mu dodnes plní arény? Jak vzpomíná na své hudební začátky a co pro něj osobně znamená rodina po všech těžkých ztrátách? Nejen o tom je rozhovor s Michalem Davidem.

Lenka a Vojta Fukalovi jsou spolu 25 let. Oba už měli zkušenosti z předchozích vztahů, a tak si před tím, než se dali dohromady, hodně povídali a zjišťovali, jestli se k sobě hodí. Pak ale přišla stavba domu, čekání na dítě a náhlý zdravotní kolaps Vojty s trvalými následky. Jak překonaly nemalé překážky na cestě k vysněnému životu? Co dalšího museli zvládnout? Jsou spíš životními pesimisty, nebo optimisty? A co je pro ně ve vztahu nejdůležitější?

Māksla, zinātne, filozofija - tā bija viduslaiku dižo prātu neparastā aizraušanās ar alķīmiju. Aiz tās slēpās kas vairāk par metāla pārvēršanu zeltā un mūžīgās dzīvības eliksīra meklējumiem. Alķīmiķu paveikto tolaika šodien varam meklēt dažādās zinātnes jomās. Vēl stipri pirms mūsdienu ķīmijas un medicīnas, tapa zinātniska kustība, kas uzdeva ļoti radikālu jautājumu - vai no dažādiem metāliem var iegūt zeltu? Vai no vienkāršām sastāvdaļām var iegūt pašu dārgāko? Šīs idejas mūsdienās šķiet vai nu absurdas, vai simboliskas, taču tolaik tās nebija nedz muļķīgas, nedz mistiskas - alķīmija bija nopietna zinātniska aizraušanās, kas pulcēja vienlaikus daudz sekotāju un daudz skeptiķu. Par alķīmiju raidījumā Zināmais nezināmajā stāsta Rīgas Stradiņa universitātes Anatomijas muzeja vadītāja, medicīnas vēsturniece Ieva Lībiete un vēsturnieks, Latvijas Universitātes Humanitāro zinātņu fakultātes profesors Andris Levāns. "Ja mūsdienu cilvēkam prasītu, ko viņš ir dzirdējis par alķīmiju, tas būtu no nevērtīgiem metāliem iegūt zeltu, noteikti būtu dzirdēts filozofu akmens vai dzīvības eliksīrs. Tas viss šķistu tāds diezgan mistisks un ezotērisks, un noslēpumains. Bet tas misticisms droši vien alķīmijā ir radies apmēram tikai ap 19. gadsimtu, kad sāk skatīt alķīmijas vēsturi vairāk atsvešināti no dabaszinātņu vēstures un sāk skaidrot dažādus alķīmiķu eksperimentus vairāk kā tādus spirituālus meklējumus nekā zinātniskus, tiešām laboratorijā veiktus eksperimentus. Līdz ar to var teikt, ka šobrīd šī sajūta dominē," skaidro Ieva Lībiete. "Bet, ja mēs paskatāmies zinātņu vēsturē, alķīmijas plašāka izpēte ir attīstījusies, sākot no 20. gadsimta otrās puses. Šobrīd akadēmiskie pētnieki, kas nodarbojas specifiski ar alķīmijas vēsturi, to vērtētu kā daļu no zinātņu vēstures. Un pašos pirmsākumos tas nebija nekas mistisks vai ezotērisks, tā bija tiešām praktizējoša zinātne ar savu teoriju un praksi, kas bija balstīta tā laika izpratnē par pasaules kārtību un par vielas un substances dabu. Tur nebija klāt misticisma. Tas ir kaut kur laika gaitā pievienojies, noslāņojies." "Piekrītu, ka tas misticisms vai tā misticisma gaisotne, kurā mēs esam iegremdējuši šodien nesaprotamo vai maz saprotamo parādību alķīmija, patiešām ir diezgan jauna. Savukārt ir viena cita lieta, kas acīmredzot pavadīja tos, kurus laikabiedri sauca par šiem alķīmijas mākslas meistariem vai adeptiem, tā ir noslēpumainība. Noslēpumainība noteikti ir pavadījusi visus tos cilvēkus, kuri ar to ir nodarbojušies, par kuriem zināja vai par kuriem runāja, ka viņi nodarbojas ar alķīmiju un ka viņi ir iesvaidīti tās noslēpumos, jo patiesi tās bija zināšanas, kuras nebūt nebija domātas visiem," norāda Andris Levāns. "Tā bija pietuvošanās noslēpumam. Tas, ka mēģināja noslēpt šīs zināšanas, kuras patiešām uzskatīja kā lielu vērtību, jo tas nodrošināja vai varēja nodrošināt piekļuvi ne tikai garīgām bagātībām, respektīvi, kaut kādiem izziņas pirmavotiem, bet arī materiālām [bagātībām]. Tad, ja patiešām atklāja veidu, kā pārvērst, respektīvi, transmutēt vielu dabu, ka tu liek kļūt vienam metālam par citu," turpina vēsturnieks. "Tā noslēpumainība un piekļūšana noslēpumam ir saistīta vēl ar robežsituāciju.  Ja jūsu mērķis ir patiešām izskaidrot lietu dabu līdz tam stāvoklim, ko saucam par prima materia, tas stāvoklis, kur lietas, vielas zaudē savas fizikālās un citas īpašības, kuras tām piemīt šobrīd. Tātad viss atgriežas tādā pirmstāvoklī, respektīvi, tajā stāvoklī, kuru, iespējams, pazinis ir vienīgi Dievs. Jautājums ir: vai jūs, ja nokļūstat šajā stāvoklī, nenonākat konfliktā, piemēram, ar kristīgās baznīcas dogmatiku. Vai arī jūs pēkšņi uzņematies to, vai gribat pretendēt uz to lomu, kas bija piešķirta tikai Dievam, kurš radīja no pirmmatērijas visas tās lietas un pasauli, , kas ir mums apkārt. Tie jautājumi, kuri kļūst neērti, un līdz ar to veidojas konfliktsituācijas arī ar tā laika sabiedrību." Taro kāršu izcelsme un nozīme Taro kārtis ietver sevī senu zināšanu sistēmu, un simbolu veidā kārtis stāsta gan par cilvēka dzīves liktenīgiem notikumiem, gan paša rīcību, kas likteni var arī mainīt. Attieksme pret taro kārtīm vēsturē ir bijusi gan vēlama, gan noraidoša, un plašāk par kāršu izcelsmi un nozīmi stāsta pētnieku Ingus Barovskis. Cilvēkiem visos laikos interesējuši divi jautājumi - kas notiks pēc nāves un kas notiks nākotnē? Kartomantija ir pasens nākotnes zīlēšanas paņēmiens, izmantojot gan parastās spēļu kārtis, gan taro kārtis. Tā sarunas iesākumā skaidro Latvijas Universitātes Humanitāro zinātņu fakultātes pētnieks Ingus Barovskis, un viņš arī norāda, ka literatūrā informācija par taro kāršu izcelsmi ir ļoti atšķirīga. Bet izskatās, ka līdz Eiropai šīs kārtis mērojušas garu ceļu, un pēc tam laika gaitā mainījusies arī to nozīme – te izklaidei, te maģijai. Taro kāršu kava sastāv no 78 kārtīm. Ir 22 Lielie Arkāni. Tie simbolizē cilvēka dzīves lielos posmus, liktenīgus notikumus un dvēseles ceļu, piemēram, kārtis “Muļķis”, “Pakārtais”, “Zvaigzne”. Un ir 56 Mazie Arkāni, kas sadalīti četros elementos (zižļi, kausi, zobeni un pentakli) un attēlo ikdienas dzīves aspektus – domas, emocijas, darbības, materiālās lietas. Par taro pirmsākumiem turpina Ingus Barovskis.

Do voleb do Poslanecké sněmovny zbývá týden. Co mohou být rozhodující momenty ve finále kampaně? - Doteď jsme neviděli střet Petra Fialy a Andreje Babiše, může to mít zásadní vliv, myslí si sociolog Martin Buchtík.Co dalšího by ještě na poslední chvíli mohlo významně ovlivnit volby? Dostanou se do Sněmovny strany balancující na hraně volitelnosti? A proč je letos tolik lidí stále nerozhodnutých?Témata pro Marii Bastlovou a sociologa a šéfa výzkumné agentury STEM Martina Buchtíka v závěrečném díle speciálu Ptám se já – Rok voleb.I před letošními parlamentními volbami mají voliči možnost sledovat velké množství debat a duelů kandidátů, ať už na televizních obrazovkách, v rozhlase nebo v online médiích. Dosud se ale nedočkali střetu dvou hlavních rivalů o post příštího premiéra, lídra Spolu Petra Fialy a šéfa ANO Andreje Babiše. Jejich duel by se měl odehrát ve středu na Prima CNN News a poté ve čtvrtek na Nově. Pozvání do debaty na ČT Babiš nepřijal.„Právě finální debaty, zejména Fialy a Babiše, můžou mít zásadní vliv na rozhodování některých voličů. Pak to také může být případná nenadálá eskalace konfliktu Ruska a Ukrajiny, další dron nad Polskem, stíhačka nad Estonskem. Nebo výslechy svědků v kauze Dozimetr. To můžou být poměrně významné faktory,“ vyjmenovává sociolog Martin Buchtík a pokračuje:  „Významné může být i jednoznačně připravené finále kampaní. Protože jestli žádné finále nepřijde, tak to bude z mého pohledu velké zklamání. Protože všichni slibují, že už opravdu začnou a zatím to zase tak vidět není.“ Plujeme na severo, severo, severozápadV průzkumech dlouhodobě vede s velkým náskokem opoziční hnutí ANO před koalicí Spolu. Doteď se zdálo, že dominanci hnutí expremiéra Andreje Babiše nic neohrožuje. Poslední průzkum agentury STEM zveřejněný ve čtvrtek ale ukázal, že podpora hnutí nečekaně klesla o téměř tři procentní body na 28 procent. Jedná se o nejhorší výsledek ANO od ledna, kdy STEM s průzkumy začal. Druhá koalice Spolu by měla 21 procent. Třetí by se do Sněmovny dostalo SPD, čtvrté STAN a pátí Piráti. Potřebnou pětiprocentní hranici by těsně překonali i Motoristé a Stačilo!.Značí náhlý propad ANO nějakou významější změnu nálad voličů? „Kdybych to řekl námořnickou terminologií, tak kdybychom pluli doteď na sever, tak teď plujeme na severo, severo, severo, severo, severozápad. Jinými slovy, to posunutí je velmi malé, o žádnou zásadní otočku nejde,“ upozorňuje sociolog. Část voličů ANO se podle něj odklonila zejména k hnutí SPD. „Do volební kampaně teď vstoupily silněji menší strany, které nemůžou dělat permanentní kampaň, protože to buď neumí, nebo nemají peníze na kampaň. A tím pádem hnutí ANO teď není zase tak dominantně všude vidět, protože to přehlušují i další kampaně. Další faktor mohou být televizní diskuze, kde ANO trochu zaniká.“„Teď je to jejich nejslabší výsledek. Ale je dost možné, že k nedělnímu modelu, který se bude zveřejňovat ještě před moratoriem jako poslední veřejný průzkum, se to číslo bude nějakým způsobem korigovat,“ říká Buchtík s tím, že se dá stále předpokládat, že Andrej Babiš ve volbách opět získá více než 27 procent hlasů podobně jako naposledy. --V bonusovém projektu pořadu Ptám se já – Rok voleb moderátorka Marie Bastlová a sociolog Martin Buchtík glosují zásadní trendy a témata letošních sněmovních voleb.  Sledujte na Seznam Zprávách, poslouchejte na Podcasty.cz a ve všech podcastových aplikacích.Archiv všech dílů najdete tady.

Jak si začít VĚŘIT? Online Coaching - martinbarna.cz/koucing Lidi už se nemůžu dívat na to, kolik lidí to samo se sebou vzdává. Nejde o tuky, nejde o velikost bicepsu. Jde o to, že pokud člověk sám sobě nevěří, je ztracený a nikdo mu nepomůže. Běžte za svými Sny. VY TO DOKÁŽETE. Stačí uvěřit a naprosto se oddat Vašemu cíli, Vašemu snu. Je to o tom být ochoten v jakoukoli vteřinu Vašeho života obětovat to co jste, pro to, čím se chcete stát. A pokud začnete jít za tím svým, přijdou první výsledky. Když přijdou první výsledky, motivuje Vás to jít dále a zvedne to Vaše sebevědomí. S vyšším sebevědomím se zvedá Váš potenciál svého Snu dosáhnout a s každým dalším krokem vpřed máte další mini vítězství. Je to mind game. Je to VY versus VY. Asi Vás nepotěším, ale nikdo Vám nepomůže. Pokud budete spoléhat v dosažení svých cílů na snahy někoho jiného, dopadne to smutným zklamáním. Není lepší pocit, než se budit každý den s pocitem, že máte světu co dát a začít to hned po probuzení nadšeně rozdávat. „Ale já nevím co chci.“ Pokud nevíš co chceš, nemůžeš to nikdy dostat. A to ani kdyby Ti to Bůh/bohové či kdokoli chtěl ze všech sil dát, pokud nevíš co to je, nemůžeš to získat. Nevíš co chceš? Pak by Tvou naprostou životní prioritou od této chvíle mělo být najít to. Najít to, proč Ti buší srdce rychleji, proč nemůžeš v noci usnout a chceš tomu dát více. Proč jsi plný energie, i když den nespíš. Musíš najít své PROČ. Protože to je to jediné, na čem v životě záleží. Vše co máme, měli jsme a získáme se stane prachem. Jediné co zůstane je Odkaz. Vliv na ostatní a plamen, který můžeme zapálit v jejich srdcích a zkvalitnit tak jejich život. Neříkám, že je život o tucích a svalech. Ale když vidím, jak se na fotkách klientů mění nejen tělo, ale i ten úsměv, sebevědomí a radost ze života, sebeúcta a životní Vůle...žene mi to slzy do očí a snad poprvé v životě mám pocit, že jsem na sebe hrdý a že Tvořím něco, co má smysl. A já nepochybuji o tom, že kdokoli to dočetl až sem, tak na to má. Věřím ve Vás a fandím Vám.

CELÝ ROZHOVOR V DÉLCE 53 MIN. JEN NA ⁠HTTPS://HEROHERO.CO/CESTMIR⁠⁠⁠⁠ A ⁠HTTPS://FORENDORS.CZ/CESTMIROrnella Koktová se už dávno nesnaží obhajovat před těmi, kdo ji mají zafixovanou jen jako bulvární postavičku. „Časem se to celkově lepší, ale kdo má pevný názor, tomu to stejně nevymluvíte. A kdo se umí podívat i z jiného úhlu, ten to uvidí jinak,“ říká podnikatelka a spoluautorka podcastu s Agátou Hanychovou. Sama přiznává, že bulvár jí v minulosti ubližoval, dnes ho ale dokáže využít – ať už pro byznys, nebo k tomu, aby upozornila na příběhy, které by jinak zapadly. „Na nás vydělávají celé roky. Teď si z toho dokážeme vzít i my, a někdy je to vlastně i zábava,“ dodává k úspěšnému podcastu. Za sebou má přitom složité dětství i komplikovaný vztah s matkou. „Už jsem umrtvená, kdybych to brala vážně, zbláznila bych se,“ vysvětluje. Velký tlak zažívala i v devatenácti, kdy byla těhotná, maturovala a zároveň čelila obrovskému mediálnímu zájmu kvůli vztahu s podnikatelem Josefem Koktou. „Byla to strašná doba. Dokonce jsem přemýšlela, jestli neskočím ze skály na Divoké Šárce. Pak jsem si ale řekla, že to zvládnu. Vždycky jsem si o sobě myslela, že jsem silná,“ říká otevřeně. Dnes s manželem vychovává tři děti, mluví o těžkých porodech i období vyhoření, kdy se cítila v úspěšném podnikání i vztahu prázdná. Koktová ale také hovoří o strachu, že kvůli pracovnímu vytížení nebude „dokonalou mámou“. „Čtete to na sítích – když je žena jenom doma s dítětem, tak je neschopná a když moc pracuje, tak je ‚zlá' workoholička. Tohle všechno se ve mně pere,“ popisuje podcasterka tlaky ve veřejném prostoru a dodává, že se svým dětem snaží zajistit „bezpečné hnízdo“. Nejstarší syn Quentin má pravděpodobně Aspergerův syndrom a Koktová popisuje, jak se učí komunikovat s dítětem, které přemýšlí a reaguje jinak než většina vrstevníků. Přesto mluví o rodině jako o svém smyslu života, ale přiznává i chvíle, kdy s manželem Josefem Koktou měli na účtu „poslední tisícovku“. Jak se jí daří vyrovnávat s tlakem veřejnosti i s vlastními pochybnostmi? Jak balancuje mezi podnikáním, mateřstvím a partnerským vztahem? A jak se žije ženě, o níž se v mládí psalo na titulních stranách, ale která dnes sama určuje, co a jak sdílí? Pusťte si celý rozhovor.

S Josefem Časarem z Univerzity obrany o přepisování vojenských učebnic, střelbě z brokovnic i laserů na drony a lekcích z Ukrajiny. Moderuje Štěpán Sedláček.Ruské bezpilotní letouny nebývale narušily vzdušný prostor členských zemí Severoatlantické aliance a Evropské unie – konkrétně Polska a Rumunska. "Působí to tak, že si Rusko oťukává potenciálního protivníka a rychlost jeho reakce. Jsou také schopní zjistit citlivost různých senzorů, které drony detekují, a odhalit nějaká slabá místa, kudy by se dalo proniknout," říká vojenský expert Josef Časar z Univerzity obrany. "Toto se také dělá, když chcete otupit protivníka. Posíláte další a další drony, aby si na to zvyknul. Pak jich můžou najednou poslat víc s cílem splnit nějaký jiný úkol," dodává pověřený vedoucí Katedry protivzdušné obrany Fakulty vojenských technologií UNOB. Využití dronů na Ukrajině vyjevuje, že tato technologie podstatně mění podobu války a vojenské taktiky. Jak se v reakci na to vyvíjí protidronová obrana? Které technologie a postupy připadají v úvahu? A jak se na rizika spojená s podobnými útoky připravuje armáda v Česku? Co čekat do budoucna s ohledem na zapojení umělé inteligence a početných rojů (swarmů) více či méně autonomních dronů? Nejen na to se ptal Josefa Časara v podcastovém rozhovoru Štěpán Sedláček.

Pak een bidon benzine en wat lucifers mee, en misschien ook een megafoon om nadien met elkaar te kunnen blijven communiceren.

Místo mřenek velké ryby, a především ta jedna slepice, která snese zlaté vejce. V případě Petra Kellnera to byla Česká pojišťovna. „Je to o schopnosti identifikovat zajímavé příležitosti.

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Kamis, 21 Agustus 2025Bacaan: "Marilah kepadaku, semua yang letih jesu dan berbeban berat. Aku akan memberi kelegaan kepadamu." (Matius 11:28)Renungan: Suatu ketika saya makan gado-gado di kantin sebuah rumah sakit. Tiba-tiba masuklah 2 ibu muda yang mengemis. Mereka datangi tiap-tiap meja untuk meminta sedekah dari tiap orang yang sedang makan, tapi tak ada satupun yang memberi. Lalu saya panggil mereka, "Ibu, mau gado gado?" Ibu yang satu dengan mantap menjawab, "Mau, Pak." Tetapi ibu yang satu lagi dengan muka sedikit angkuh sambil memalingkan muka ke samping berkata, "Saya ga mau. Saya ga suka. Saya mau uangnya aja." Ternyata tidak semua kebaikan kita dapat diterima dan menyenangkan orang lain. Di dalam kehidupan ini kita terkadang sering kehilangan berkat dari Tuhan karena hati kita yang terlalu keras. Tuhan menawarkan kita untuk mau mengampuni orang lain, tetapi kebencian kita terhadapa orang yang sudah menyakiti kita mengalahkan tawaran Tuhan. Tuhan menawarkan penyertaan-Nya saat kita sakit dan usaha bangkrut, tetapi kita justru mencari pertolongan lain melalui dukun, paranormal dan orang pintar lainnya. Hari ini melalui sabda-Nya, Yesus mengajak kita semua yang saat ini sedang letih dan lesu karena beban berat untuk datang kepada-Nya. Kalau Ia sudah bersabda seperti itu, berarti Yesus sudah punya komitmen pula untuk melaksanakan apa yang sudah dijanjikan-Nya. Karena Firman;Nya adalah Ya dan Amin. Yesus hanya meminta kita untuk membuka hati dan percaya pada-Nya, maka kuasa-Nya akan bekerja secara penuh dalam kehidupan kita. Saat ini tangan-Nya sedang terbuka menanti kita, dan mata-Nya sedang menatap kita dengan penuh kerinduan. Palingkanlah wajah kita pada-Nya dan serahkan semua beban dan pergumulan kita, maka hati-Nya yang penuh belaskasih akan mendatangkan kelegaan dan kelepasan serta kesembuhan bagi kehidupan kita. Kalau orang lain ditolong, pasti kita juga akan ditolong. Yesus hanya butuh iman kita, maka selanjut-Nya Dia sendiri yang akan turun tangan untuk menyelesaikan masalah kita. Tuhan Yesus memberkati.Doa:Tuhan Yesus, banyak kali dalam Inill, Engkau memberikan kata-kata peneguhan dan pengharapan saat orang mengalami ketakutan, kecemasan, sakit penyakit, dan pergumulan hidup. Setiap perkataan-Mu itu mendatangkan kuasa yang luar biasa ketika kami mengimaninya dengan sungguh. Namun seringkali kami tidak mendapatkan apa yang kami harapkan ketika kami datang dan berdoa pada-Mu. Hal itu terjadi karena Kami sering menggunakan logika kami dan meragukan kuasa-Mu, sehingga kami beralih mencari ilah-llah lain dan meminta pertolongan pada mereka. Yesus, hancurkan kekerasan hatiku saat ini dan ajarilah aku untuk percaya hanya pada-Mu saja. Amin. (Dod).

A weekly magazine-style radio show featuring the voices and stories of Asians and Pacific Islanders from all corners of our community. The show is produced by a collective of media makers, deejays, and activists.   In this two-part series of Oakland Asian Cultural Center's “Let's Talk” podcast Eastside Arts Alliance is featured. Elena Serrano and Susanne Takehara, two of the founders of Eastside Arts Alliance, and staff member Aubrey Pandori will discuss the history that led to the formation of Eastside and their deep work around multi-racial solidarity.   Transcript: Let's Talk podcast episode 9  [00:00:00] Emma: My name is Emma Grover, and I am the program and communications coordinator at the Oakland Asian Cultural Center, known also as OACC. Today we are sharing the ninth episode of our Let's Talk Audio Series. Let's Talk is part of OACC'S Open Ears for Change Initiative, which was established in 2020. With this series, our goals are to address anti-Blackness in the APIA communities, discuss the effects of colorism and racism in a safe space, and highlight Black and Asian solidarity and community efforts specifically in the Oakland Chinatown area. Today's episode is a round table discussion with Elena Serrano, Susanne Takahara, and Aubrey Pandori of Eastside Arts Alliance.  [00:00:53] Aubrey: Hello everybody. This is Aubrey from Eastside Arts Alliance, and I am back here for the second part of our Let's Talk with Suzanne and Elena. We're gonna be talking about what else Eastside is doing right now in the community. The importance of art in activism, and the importance of Black and Asian solidarity in Oakland and beyond.  So I am the community archivist here at Eastside Arts Alliances. I run CARP, which stands for Community Archival Resource Project. It is a project brought on by one of our co-founders, Greg Morozumi. And it is primarily a large chunk of his own collection from over the years, but it is a Third World archive with many artifacts, journals, pens, newspapers from social movements in the Bay Area and beyond, international social movements from the 1960s forward. We do a few different programs through CARP. I sometimes have archival exhibitions. We do public engagement through panels, community archiving days. We collaborate with other community archives like the Bay Area Lesbian Archives and Freedom Archives here in Oakland and the Bay Area. And we are also working on opening up our Greg Morozumi Reading Room in May. So that is an opportunity for people to come in and relax, read books, host reading groups, or discussions with their community. We're also gonna be opening a lending system so people are able to check out books to take home and read. There'll be library cards coming soon for that and other fun things to come.  [00:02:44] So Suzanne, what are you working on at Eastside right now? [00:02:48] Susanne: Well, for the past like eight or nine years I've been working with Jose Ome Navarrete and Debbie Kajiyama of NAKA Dance Theater to produce Live Arts and Resistance (LAIR), which is a Dance Theater Performance series. We've included many artists who, some of them started out here at Eastside and then grew to international fame, such as Dohee Lee, and then Amara Tabor-Smith has graced our stages for several years with House Full of Black Women. This year we're working with Joti Singh on Ghadar Geet: Blood and Ink, a piece she choreographed, and shot in film and it's a multimedia kind of experience. We've worked with Cat Brooks and many emerging other artists who are emerging or from all over, mostly Oakland, but beyond. It's a place where people can just experiment and not worry about a lot of the regulations that bigger theaters have. Using the outside, the inside, the walls, the ceiling sometimes. It's been an exciting experience to work with so many different artists in our space.  [00:04:03] Elena: And I have been trying to just get the word out to as many different folks who can help sustain the organization as possible about the importance of the work we do here. So my main job with Eastside has been raising money. But what we're doing now is looking at cultural centers like Eastside, like Oakland Asian Cultural Center, like the Malonga Casquelord Center, like Black Cultural Zone, like the Fruitvale Plaza and CURJ's work. These really integral cultural hubs. In neighborhoods and how important those spaces are.  [00:04:42] So looking at, you know, what we bring to the table with the archives, which serve the artistic community, the organizing community. There's a big emphasis, and we had mentioned some of this in the first episode around knowing the history and context of how we got here so we can kind of maneuver our way out. And that's where books and movies and posters and artists who have been doing this work for so long before us come into play in the archives and then having it all manifest on the stage through programs like LAIR, where theater artists and dancers and musicians, and it's totally multimedia, and there's so much information like how to keep those types of places going is really critical.  [00:05:28] And especially now when public dollars have mostly been cut, like the City of Oakland hardly gave money to the arts anyway, and they tried to eliminate the entire thing. Then they're coming back with tiny bits of money. But we're trying to take the approach like, please, let's look at where our tax dollars go. What's important in a neighborhood? What has to stay and how can we all work together to make that happen?  [00:05:52] Susanne: And I want to say that our Cultural Center theater is a space that is rented out very affordably to not just artists, but also many organizations that are doing Movement work, such as Palestinian Youth Movement, Bala, Mujeres Unidas Y Activas, QT at Cafe Duo Refugees, United Haiti Action Committee, Freedom Archives, Oakland Sin Fronteras, Center for CPE, and many artists connected groups.  [00:06:22] Aubrey: Yeah, I mean, we do so much more than what's in the theater and Archive too, we do a lot of different youth programs such as Girl Project, Neighborhood Arts, where we do public murals. One of our collective members, Angie and Leslie, worked on Paint the Town this past year. We also have our gallery in between the Cultural Center and Bandung Books, our bookstore, which houses our archive. We are celebrating our 25th anniversary exhibition.  [00:06:54] Susanne: And one of the other exhibits we just wrapped up was Style Messengers, an exhibit of graffiti work from Dime, Spy and Surge, Bay Area artists and Surge is from New York City, kind of illustrating the history of graffiti and social commentary.  [00:07:30] Elena: We are in this studio here recording and this is the studio of our youth music program Beats Flows, and I love we're sitting here with this portrait of Amiri Baraka, who had a lot to say to us all the time. So it's so appropriate that when the young people are in the studio, they have this elder, magician, poet activist looking at him, and then when you look out the window, you see Sister Souljah, Public Enemy, and then a poster we did during, when Black Lives Matter came out, we produced these posters that said Black Power Matters, and we sent them all over the country to different sister cultural centers and I see them pop up somewhere sometimes and people's zooms when they're home all over the country. It's really amazing and it just really shows when you have a bunch of artists and poets and radical imagination, people sitting around, you know, what kind of things come out of it. [00:08:31] Aubrey: I had one of those Black Power Matters posters in my kitchen window when I lived in Chinatown before I worked here, or visited here actually. I don't even know how I acquired it, but it just ended up in my house somehow.  [00:08:45] Elena: That's perfect. I remember when we did, I mean we still do, Malcolm X Jazz Festival and it was a young Chicana student who put the Jazz Festival poster up and she was like, her parents were like, why is Malcolm X? What has that got to do with anything? And she was able to just tell the whole story about Malcolm believing that people, communities of color coming together  is a good thing. It's a powerful thing. And it was amazing how the festival and the youth and the posters can start those kind of conversations.  [00:09:15] Aubrey: Malcolm X has his famous quote that says “Culture is an indispensable weapon in the freedom struggle.” And Elena, we think a lot about Malcolm X and his message here at Eastside about culture, but also about the importance of art. Can we speak more about the importance of art in our activism?  [00:09:35] Elena: Well, that was some of the things we were touching on around radical imagination and the power of the arts. But where I am going again, is around this power of the art spaces, like the power of spaces like this, and to be sure that it's not just a community center, it's a cultural center, which means we invested in sound good, sound good lighting, sprung floors. You know, just like the dignity and respect that the artists and our audiences have, and that those things are expensive but critical. So I feel like that's, it's like to advocate for this type of space where, again, all those groups that we listed off that have come in here and there's countless more. They needed a space to reach constituencies, you know, and how important that is. It's like back in the civil rights organizing the Black church was that kind of space, very important space where those kind of things came together. People still go to church and there's still churches, but there's a space for cultural centers and to have that type of space where artists and activists can come together and be more powerful together.  [00:10:50] Aubrey: I think art is a really powerful way of reaching people. [00:10:54] Elena: You know, we're looking at this just because I, being in the development end, we put together a proposal for the Environmental Protection Agency before Donald (Trump) took it over. We were writing about how important popular education is, so working with an environmental justice organization who has tons of data about how impacted communities like East Oakland and West Oakland are suffering from all of this, lots of science. But what can we, as an arts group, how can we produce a popular education around those things? And you know, how can we say some of those same messages in murals and zines, in short films, in theater productions, you know, but kind of embracing that concept of popular education. So we're, you know, trying to counter some of the disinformation that's being put out there too with some real facts, but in a way that, you know, folks can grasp onto and, and get.  [00:11:53] Aubrey: We recently had a LAIR production called Sky Watchers, and it was a beautiful musical opera from people living in the Tenderloin, and it was very personal. You were able to hear about people's experiences with poverty, homelessness, and addiction in a way that was very powerful. How they were able to express what they were going through and what they've lost, what they've won, everything that has happened in their lives in a very moving way. So I think art, it's, it's also a way for people to tell their stories and we need to be hearing those stories. We don't need to be hearing, I think what a lot of Hollywood is kind of throwing out, which is very white, Eurocentric beauty standards and a lot of other things that doesn't reflect our neighborhood and doesn't reflect our community. So yeah, art is a good way for us to not only tell our stories, but to get the word out there, what we want to see changed.  So our last point that we wanna talk about today is the importance of Black and Asian solidarity in Oakland. How has that been a history in Eastside, Suzanne?  [00:13:09] Susanne: I feel like Eastside is all about Third World solidarity from the very beginning. And Yuri Kochiyama is one of our mentors through Greg Morozumi and she was all about that. So I feel like everything we do brings together Black, Asian and brown folks. [00:13:27] Aubrey: Black and Asian solidarity is especially important here at Eastside Arts Alliance. It is a part of our history. We have our bookstore called Bandung Books for a very specific reason, to give some history there. So the Bandung Conference happened in 1955 in Indonesia, and it was the first large-scale meeting of Asian and African countries. Most of which were newly independent from colonialism. They aimed to promote Afro-Asian cooperation and rejection of colonialism and imperialism in all nations. And it really set the stage for revolutionary solidarity between colonized and oppressed people, letting way for many Third Worlds movements internationally and within the United States.  [00:14:14] Eastside had an exhibition called Bandung to the Bay: Black and Asian Solidarity at Oakland Asian Cultural Center the past two years in 2022 and 2023 for their Lunar New Year and Black History Month celebrations. It highlighted the significance of that conference and also brought to light what was happening in the United States from the 1960s to present time that were creating and building solidarity between Black and Asian communities. The exhibition highlighted a number of pins, posters, and newspapers from the Black Liberation Movement and Asian American movement, as well as the broader Third World movement. The Black Panthers were important points of inspiration in Oakland, in the Bay Area in getting Asian and Pacific Islanders in the diaspora, and in their homelands organized.  [00:15:07] We had the adoption of the Black Panthers 10-point program to help shape revolutionary demands and principles for people's own communities like the Red Guard in San Francisco's Chinatown, IWK in New York's Chinatown and even the Polynesian Panthers in New Zealand. There were so many different organizations that came out of the Black Panther party right here in Oakland. And we honor that by having so many different 10-point programs up in our theater too. We have the Brown Berets, Red Guard Party, Black Panthers, of course, the American Indian Movement as well. So we're always thinking about that kind of organizing and movement building that has been tied here for many decades now.  [00:15:53] Elena: I heard that the term Third World came from the Bandung conference. [00:15:58] Aubrey: Yes, I believe that's true.  [00:16:01] Elena: I wanted to say particularly right now, the need for specifically Black Asian solidarity is just, there's so much misinformation around China coming up now, especially as China takes on a role of a superpower in the world. And it's really up to us to provide some background, some other information, some truth telling, so folks don't become susceptible to that kind of misinformation. And whatever happens when it comes from up high and we hate China, it reflects in Chinatown. And that's the kind of stereotyping that because we have been committed to Third World solidarity and truth telling for so long, that that's where we can step in and really, you know, make a difference, we hope. I think the main point is that we need to really listen to each other, know what folks are going through, know that we have more in common than we have separating us, especially in impacted Black, brown, Asian communities in Oakland. We have a lot to do.  [00:17:07] Aubrey: To keep in contact with Eastside Arts Alliance, you can find us at our website: eastside arts alliance.org, and our Instagrams at Eastside Cultural and at Bandung Books to stay connected with our bookstore and CArP, our archive, please come down to Eastside Arts Alliance and check out our many events coming up in the new year. We are always looking for donations and volunteers and just to meet new friends and family.  [00:17:36] Susanne: And with that, we're gonna go out with Jon Jang's “The Pledge of Black Asian Alliance,” produced in 2018.  [00:18:29] Emma: This was a round table discussion at the Eastside Arts Alliance Cultural Center with staff and guests: Elena, Suzanne and Aubrey.  Let's Talk Audio series is one of OACC'S Open Ears for Change projects and as part of the Stop the Hate Initiative with funds provided by the California Department of Social Services in consultation with the commission of Asian and Pacific Islander American Affairs to administer $110 million allocated over three years to community organizations. These organizations provide direct services to victims of hate and their families and offer prevention and intervention services to tackle hate in our communities. This episode is a production of the Oakland Asian Cultural Center with engineering, editing, and sound design by Thick Skin Media.  [00:19:18] A special thanks to Jon Jang for permission to use his original music. And thank you for listening.  [00:19:32] Music: Life is not what you alone make it. Life is the input of everyone who touched your life and every experience that entered it.

Today we are sharing the eighth episode of our Let's Talk audio series. Let's talk as part of OACC's Open Ears for Change Initiative, which was established in 2020. With this series, our goals are to address anti-blackness in the APIA communities, discuss the effects of colorism and racism in a safe space, and highlight black and Asian solidarity and community efforts specifically in the Oakland Chinatown area.   [00:00:43] Today's guests are Elena Serrano and Suzanne Takahara, co-founders of Eastside Arts Alliance. Welcome Elena and Suzanne, thank you so much for joining today's episode. And so just to kick things off, wanna hear about how was Eastside Arts Alliance started?   [00:01:01] Susanne: Well, it was really Greg Morozumi who had a longstanding vision of creating a cultural center in East Oakland, raised in Oakland, an organizer in the Bay Area, LA, and then in New York City where he met Yuri Kochiyama, who became a lifelong mentor.   [00:01:17] Greg was planning with one of Yuri's daughters, Ichi Kochiyama to move her family to Oakland and help him open a cultural center here. I met Greg in the early nineties and got to know him during the January, 1993 “No Justice, No Peace” show at Pro Arts in Oakland. The first Bay Graffiti exhibition in the gallery. Greg organized what became a massive anti-police brutality graffiti installation created by the TDDK crew. Graffiti images and messages covered the walls and ceiling complete with police barricades. It was a response to the Rodney King protests. The power of street art busted indoors and blew apart the gallery with political messaging. After that, Greg recruited Mike Dream, Spy, and other TDK writers to help teach the free art classes for youth that Taller Sin Fronteras was running at the time.   [00:02:11] There were four artist groups that came together to start Eastside. Taller Sin Fronteras was an ad hoc group of printmakers and visual artists activists based in the East Bay. Their roots came out of the free community printmaking, actually poster making workshops that artists like Malaquias Montoya and David Bradford organized in Oakland in the early 70s and 80s.   [00:02:34] The Black Dot Collective of poets, writers, musicians, and visual artists started a popup version of the Black Dot Cafe. Marcel Diallo and Leticia Utafalo were instrumental and leaders of this project. 10 12 were young digital artists and activists led by Favianna Rodriguez and Jesus Barraza in Oakland. TDK is an Oakland based graffiti crew that includes Dream, Spie, Krash, Mute, Done Amend, Pak and many others evolving over time and still holding it down.   [00:03:07] Elena: That is a good history there. And I just wanted to say that me coming in and meeting Greg and knowing all those groups and coming into this particular neighborhood, the San Antonio district of Oakland, the third world aspect of who we all were and what communities we were all representing and being in this geographic location where those communities were all residing. So this neighborhood, San Antonio and East Oakland is very third world, Black, Asian, Latinx, indigenous, and it's one of those neighborhoods, like many neighborhoods of color that has been disinvested in for years. But rich, super rich in culture.   [00:03:50] So the idea of a cultural center was…let's draw on where our strengths are and all of those groups, TDKT, Taller Sin Fronters, Black artists, 10 – 12, these were all artists who were also very engaged in what was going on in the neighborhoods. So artists, organizers, activists, and how to use the arts as a way to lift up those stories tell them in different ways. Find some inspiration, ways to get out, ways to build solidarity between the groups, looking at our common struggles, our common victories, and building that strength in numbers.   [00:04:27] Emma: Thank you so much for sharing. Elena and Suzanne, what a rich and beautiful history for Eastside Arts Alliance.   [00:04:34] Were there any specific political and or artistic movements happening at that time that were integral to Eastside's start?   [00:04:41] Elena: You know, one of the movements that we took inspiration from, and this was not happening when Eastside got started, but for real was the Black Panther Party. So much so that the Panthers 10-point program was something that Greg xeroxed and made posters and put 'em up on the wall, showing how the 10-point program for the Panthers influenced that of the Young Lords and the Brown Berets and I Wor Kuen (IWK).   [00:05:07] So once again, it was that Third world solidarity. Looking at these different groups that were working towards similar things, it still hangs these four posters still hang in our cultural, in our theater space to show that we were all working on those same things. So even though we came in at the tail end of those movements, when we started Eastside, it was very much our inspiration and what we strove to still address; all of those points are still relevant right now.   [00:05:36] Susanne: So that was a time of Fight The Power, Kaos One and Public Enemy setting. The tone for public art murals, graphics, posters. So that was kind of the context for which art was being made and protests happened.   [00:05:54] Elena: There was a lot that needed to be done and still needs to be done. You know what? What the other thing we were coming on the tail end of and still having massive repercussions was crack. And crack came into East Oakland really hard, devastated generations, communities, everything, you know, so the arts were a way for some folks to still feel power and feel strong and feel like they have agency in the world, especially hip hop and, spray can, and being out there and having a voice and having a say, it was really important, especially in neighborhoods where things had just been so messed up for so long.   [00:06:31] Emma: I would love to know also what were the community needs Eastside was created to address, you know, in this environment where there's so many community needs, what was Eastside really honing in on at this time?   [00:06:41] Elena: It's interesting telling our story because we end up having to tell so many other stories before us, so things like the, Black Arts movement and the Chicano Arts Movement. Examples of artists like Amiri Baraka, Malaguias Montoya, Sonya Sanchez. Artists who had committed themselves to the struggles of their people and linking those two works. So we always wanted to have that. So the young people that we would have come into the studio and wanna be rappers, you know, it's like, what is your responsibility?   [00:07:15] You have a microphone, you amplify. What are some of the things you're saying? So it was on us. To provide that education and that backstory and where they came from and the footsteps we felt like they were in and that they needed to keep moving it forward. So a big part of the cultural center in the space are the archives and all of that information and history and context.   [00:07:37] Susanne: And we started the Malcolm X Jazz Arts Festival for that same reason coming out of the Bandung Conference. And then the Tri Continental, all of this is solidarity between people's movements.   [00:07:51] Emma: You've already talked about this a little bit, the role of the arts in Eastside's foundation and the work that you're doing, and I'd love to hear also maybe how the role of the arts continues to be important in the work that you're doing today as a cultural center.   [00:08:04] And so my next question to pose to you both is what is the role of the arts at Eastside?   [00:08:10] Elena: So a couple different things. One, I feel like, and I said a little bit of this before, but the arts can transmit messages so much more powerfully than other mediums. So if you see something acted out in a theater production or a song or a painting, you get that information transmitted in a different way.   [00:08:30] Then also this idea of the artists being able to tap into imagination and produce images and visions and dreams of the future. This kind of imagination I just recently read or heard because folks aren't reading anymore or hardly reading that they're losing their imagination. What happens when you cannot even imagine a way out of things?   [00:08:54] And then lastly, I just wanted to quote something that Favianna Rodriguez, one of our founders always says “cultural shift precedes political shift.” So if you're trying to shift things politically on any kind of policy, you know how much money goes to support the police or any of these issues. It's the cultural shift that needs to happen first. And that's where the cultural workers, the artists come in.   [00:09:22] Susanne: And another role of Eastside in supporting the arts to do just that is honoring the artists, providing a space where they can have affordable rehearsal space or space to create, or a place to come safely and just discuss things that's what we hope and have created for the Eastside Cultural Center and now the bookstore and the gallery. A place for them to see themselves and it's all um, LGBTA, BIPOC artists that we serve and honor in our cultural center. To that end, we, in the last, I don't know, 8, 9 years, we've worked with Jose Navarrete and Debbie Kajiyama of Naka Dance Theater to produce live arts and resistance, which gives a stage to emerging and experienced performance artists, mostly dancers, but also poets, writers, theater and actors and musicians.   [00:10:17] Emma: The last question I have for you both today is what is happening in the world that continues to call us to action as artists?   [00:10:27] Elena: Everything, everything is happening, you know, and I know things have always been happening, but it seems really particularly crazy right now on global issues to domestic issues. For a long time, Eastside was um, really focusing in on police stuff and immigration stuff because it was a way to bring Black and brown communities together because they were the same kind of police state force, different ways.   [00:10:54] Now we have it so many different ways, you know, and strategies need to be developed. Radical imagination needs to be deployed. Everyone needs to be on hand. A big part of our success and our strength is organizations that are not artistic organizations but are organizing around particular issues globally, locally come into our space and the artists get that information. The community gets that information. It's shared information, and it gives us all a way, hopefully, to navigate our way out of it.   [00:11:29] Susanne: The Cultural Center provides a venue for political education for our communities and our artists on Palestine, Haiti, Sudan, immigrant rights, prison abolition, police abolition, sex trafficking, and houselessness among other things.   [00:11:46] Elena: I wanted to say too, a big part of what's going on is this idea of public disinvestment. So housing, no such thing as public housing, hardly anymore. Healthcare, education, we're trying to say access to cultural centers. We're calling that the cultural infrastructure of neighborhoods. All of that must be continued to be supported and we can't have everything be privatized and run by corporations. So that idea of these are essential things in a neighborhood, schools, libraries, cultural spaces, and you know, and to make sure cultural spaces gets on those lists.   [00:12:26] Emma: I hear you. And you know, I think every category you brought up, actually just now I can think of one headline or one piece of news recently that is really showing how critically these are being challenged, these basic rights and needs of the community. And so thank you again for the work that you're doing and keeping people informed as well. I think sometimes with all the news, both globally and, and in our more local communities in the Bay Area or in Oakland. It can be so hard to know what actions to take, what tools are available. But again, that's the importance of having space for this type of education, for this type of activism. And so I am so grateful that Eastside exists and is continuing to serve our community in this way.   What is Eastside Arts Alliance up to today? Are there any ways we can support your collective, your organization, what's coming up?   [00:13:18] Elena: Well, this is our 25th anniversary. So the thing that got us really started by demonstrating to the community what a cultural center was, was the Malcolm X Jazz Arts Festival, and that this year will be our 25th anniversary festival happening on May 17th.   [00:13:34] It's always free. It's in San Antonio Park. It's an amazing day of organizing and art and music, multi-generational. It's beautiful. It's a beautiful day. Folks can find out. We have stuff going on every week. Every week at the cultural center on our website through our socials. Our website is Eastside Arts alliance.org, and all the socials are there and there's a lot of information from our archives that you can look up there. There's just just great information on our website, and we also send out a newsletter.   [00:14:07] Emma: Thank you both so much for sharing, and I love you bringing this idea, but I hear a lot of arts and activism organizations using this term radical imagination and how it's so needed for bringing forth the future that we want for ourselves and our future generations.   [00:14:24] And so I just think that's so beautiful that Eastside creates that space, cultivates a space where that radical imagination can take place through the arts, but also through community connections. Thank you so much Elena and Suzanne for joining us today.   [00:14:40] Susanne: Thank you for having us.   [00:15:32] Emma: Let's Talk Audio series is one of OACC'S Open Ears for Change projects and is part of the Stop the Hate Initiative with funds provided by the California Department of Social Services.

PŘIPOJTE SE DO KOMUNITY POSLUCHAČŮ A POSLUCHAČEK STUDIA N NA HEROHERO.CO/STUDION A SLEDUJTE CELÉ EPIZODY Znepokojivá data o rostoucím násilí na školách, prudká radikalizace dospívajících a čím dál hlubší politický rozkol mezi mladými muži a ženami. Filozofka Alice Koubová ve Studiu N rozebírá, co dnes formuje psychiku mladých mužů, proč jsou zranitelní vůči manipulaci a jak algoritmy, společenský tlak i nedostatek mezilidské solidarity vedou ke hněvu, který se obrací proti ženám nebo celé společnosti. Dvanáctiletý chlapec hledá videa o autech. Algoritmus mu nabídne těla žen. O chvíli později srovnání ženy s oslem. Pak narážky na neschopnost žen řídit. A nakonec Andrew Tate. „Nemusí zadat ani slovo násilí nebo zneužívání žen. Algoritmus ho do manosféry dovede sám,“ říká filozofka Alice Koubová. Ve Studiu N mluví o tom, kdo dnes podle jejího výzkumu formuje mladé muže: „Chlapi, kteří mluví o tom, co znamená úspěch, jsou často spojeni se silovou rétorikou. Typicky je to devadesátkový ředitel, který nastoupil jako mladý muž po odchodu komunistické nomenklatury a zvykl si na to, že všechno řídí a je nenahraditelný. Vnímal by jako křivdu, kdyby měl svou pozici předat někomu z mladší generace. Je do sebe zahleděný a glosuje okolí z pozice neotřesitelné moci,“ říká Koubová. Druhým vzorem je typ zahraniční internetové celebrity, jako je Andrew Tate – muž, který chce získat moc silově, bez pochybností a diskuze, „v jistém smyslu až imperialistickým způsobem“, říká filozofka. „Podobné typy bychom našli například kolem politické strany Motoristé.“ Rozdíly mezi mladými muži a ženami se netýkají jen hodnot, ale čím dál víc i volebního chování. „U generace Z vidíme zásadní politický rozkol. Mladí muži volí úplně jinak než mladé ženy,“ všímá si Koubová. „Rozdíl mezi tím, koho volí muži a ženy mezi dvaceti a osmadvaceti lety, je největší ze všech generací v mnoha demokraciích světa. Mladí dospělí muži mají statisticky větší tendenci volit pravicové extremistické strany.“ V rozhovoru jsme se dotkli i širších společenských souvislostí: jak vypadá odolná společnost, kde máme slepé skvrny i proč bychom měli hlasitěji odmítat násilí – ať už na sítích, nebo v reálném světě. „Demokracie je režim, který aspiruje na to, říkat absolutní ne násilí všeho druhu. Když to necháme jen na některých jedincích, kteří to pak strašným způsobem odnesou, kolaborujeme tím na systému,“ říká Koubová. Podívejte se na celou epizodu na herohero.co/studion

Pozor, pozor, mimořádné hlášení pro všechny obyvatele Moravskoslezského kraje. Vaším regionem projíždí už řadu týdnů obytný vůz s pražskou poznávací značkou. Žádná venkovská grilovačka není dost malá, aby z vozu nevystoupil zmateně vypadající sedmdesátník, který se zřejmě bude dobývat na váš pozemek.Prosím, nestřílejte na něj ani nevolejte policii. Je to Andrej Babiš a jediné, co chce, je udělat si s vámi selfie na sociální sítě a nabídnout vám brožurku o prevenci nemocí. Je možné, že – stejně jako účastníky svých mítinků – i vás bude obtěžovat otázkami typu, jestli jste už prodělali mamografii, kolonoskopii, rektoskopii, defekografii, cystoskopii, nebo jestli máte výsledky PSA, popřípadě biopsii.Pokud by vás tyto informace obtěžovaly, vezměte si na jeho mítink lékařskou zprávu. Pak už si můžete v klidu užívat předvolební veselice spojené s konzumací piva Točený Karel. Prosím, jen nechoďte do jeho obytného vozu, který si údajně přeměnil na improvizovanou sanitku, kde má prý nabízet různá vyšetření – a to pouze na vlastní nebezpečí.Na jeho mítincích se také můžete setkat s oblíbeným tématem kokainu. Na posledních akcích v Moravskoslezském kraji kritizoval předsedkyni Poslanecké sněmovny, Markétu Pekarovou Adamovou, že se na pánském záchodě na jejím patře objevil papír s nepatrným obsahem kokainu. Tento muž zřejmě trpí obsesivní představou, že by šéfka parlamentu měla více dohlížet na kvalitu a hygienu pánských toalet.Neodporujte mu, ale do sanitky nesedejte. Konec hlášení.

Zuzana se rozhodla zaflexit tím, že byla na dovolené a to ne na ledajaké - dokonce v zahraničí, konkrétně v Itálii. Detaily ze svého pobytu posdílet tato raubířka nechtěla, ale silně nedoporučila pizzu s citrusy, což ale Ivana feelovala v tom smyslu, že alespoň Zuzana překročila svoji komfortní zónu. Pak už ale došlo na probírání italských přísloví, kterých měla Zuzana vygooglovaných habaděj.Všechny díly podcastu Buchty můžete pohodlně poslouchat v mobilní aplikaci mujRozhlas pro Android a iOS nebo na webu mujRozhlas.cz.
