The national mourning day in Myanmar and Korea is the same, that is to say 19 July 1947, when the cases of political assassination that have changed the entire history today occurred.
General Aung San, who is revered by almost all of the ethnic people in Myanmar, and his cabinet members were shot dead by four trained assassins on that day. As a result, the country still can't reach the peace from a long standing civil war.
In Korea, the only politician who received the largest supporters was Lyuh Woon-hung. He tried the peaceful reunification of North and South of the 38th parallel several times. However, his death on that day is arguably the consequence of two Koreas today. His famous quote reveals: "Blood is thicker than water."

Please watch a Korean drama, Seoul 1945. The plot was tragic as two best friends and even the family members stood with the opposite sides, Capitalism or Communism. In fact, the geographic location of the Korea peninsula is situated beside a Super Power country, USSR. That's unfortunate for Korean people who were utilized by the Cold War tensions.
Similarly, Myanmar shares a long borders with China which has become a global power today. The rivalry between the US and China might lead to a second Cold War. That's what I'm concerned the most.
True. This parallel is worse than Berlin Wall. Although two Germany nations didn't have remarkable arm conflict, Korean War caused more than 2.5 M deaths.
