Searching for ways to resolve Korean Peninsula confrontation and nuclear crisis. Trawl the internet on 1950s Korean war
And look through various videos of 1950s Korean war.
遇事先沉心。静中自得悟。
Noted that what cause Korean War - are just due to :-
(1) Ideological differences (Communism vs Democracy)
(2) Political differences - Cold War mentality and which side rule
(3) Economic differences - State-Run vs Market Economy
There are no inherent hated by both Koreas - as they are of the same blood, blood brothers.
But what make them start and fight the war are the above cause by physical separation at the 38 parallel.
What antidote can help the 2 Koreas to really reconcile, stop confrontation and finally denuclearise, should be :-
(1) Emphasize people-to-people relationship, emphazie they are from the same blood, same root, same ancestorship.
(2) Emphasize both have strong desires for peace, for safety, for security.
(3) Emphasize the desires for economic development, business, investment, raise the living conditions and standard of living of the people.
(4) Establish several layers and levels of linkages, military hotline, maintain communication links -- no matter what happen - even when tension arise.
(5) Works towards real conciliation and non-confrontation - such as addressing military exercies and missiles/nuclear tests --- by downgrading the scale of exercises and reducing missile/nuclear tests --- to finally stopping them.
(6) Finally, find ways to ramp up more social contacts, more economic contacts and integration while reducing and finally eliminating military tension and confrontation.
This will be the only way to resolve the 2 Koreas Peninsula issue. Whether will the 2 Korea reunified or stay as 2 States (but a more amicable and brother state - spice with more economic integration and exchanges minus military tension) ---- will be a real positive improvement from the past tense relation.
Asia Pacific is a bedrock of "Peace, Prospeity, Business, Wealth, Prosperity".
Both Koreas must take advantage of Asia Pacific - to benefit themselves - and not spoil and poison this "Utopian" bedrock of peace and prosperity.

The core of the antidote is :-
“交心” - "Exchange of Heart".
The genuine desires - to improve relationship, reduce tension - and move away from the extremely unpleasant tension, confrontation - and the consequences of hardship and sufferings.

There will be hiccups and unhappiness - along the way - in forging “交心” - "Exchange of Heart" --- especially when the Winter Olympics is over - and both sides resume their past usual way of lives.
But whatever linkages, communication, hotlines and relationships - must not be broken - and let it continue ------- using “交心” - "Exchange of Heart" --- as the bedrock and strong desire to improve the relationship and avoid escalation and tension.
Both Koreas must always pull back to this focus point - “交心” - "Exchange of Heart" - whenever things are not going as smoothly.
And unhappiness and tension can be resolved.
What is important ---- is to improve, not go backward ---- which is not good for both Koreas --- as well as for Asia Pacific not to mention US.
