> War in Korea:

> *It is a well-known fact that belligerents keep fighting and negotiating
> with each other at the same time. However, in certain historical contexts,
> negotiation seems unacceptable. For the Imjin War, or the Korea War in the
> 16th century, the Ming government insisted that it was brought to an end by
> the glorious victory of the Ming force. But Japanese and Korean archives
> revealed a more complicated fact: Ming frontline commanders and their
> Japanese counterparts negotiated a truce and exchanged hostages
> accordingly, while keeping fighting till the end. This Webinar talk covers
> the intriguing and interesting story of one of the Ming hostages: Mao
> Guoke.* *As a middle-ranking Ming officer, Mao Guoke was “dressed up” as
> the younger brother of his senior commander Mao Guoqi and sent to Japan as
> a hostage. He returned to China after almost two years (1598–1600),
> expecting to be received as a hero but was dismissed as more of a
> “self-made hero.”*
