However you may find yourself to be, either happy or depressed, in foreign lands or on our own, always know that you have a worth as a Mongol person, even if it seems like it doesn't matter.
Our forefathers, just 9 generation ago ruled most of the world that was known to us at the time. As a fellow Mongolian, I absolutely worship Ezen Chingis Khaan, and the brilliant generals that were born out of his regime. I've recently observed that all credits go to our leader, and not the regular Mongol people in the back scenes, sacrificing their lives, children for the sake of the nation. I believe that his true brilliance comes from overcoming that natural Mongol arrogance, tendency to violence. As we had been nomads for since the dawn of our own existence; certain level of preference in independence is observable. He made sure to implement absolute loyalty, inspire honor in doing the right thing for our fellow brethren. For example, in Aravt system, if 1 soldier was to desert the 10th, other 9's were put to the sword. I think this example is a great show of what we should be studying. He clearly realized that if 1 man was to betray his own nation and brothers and sisters, the result would most likely be that the rest of our race would be put jeopardy. It is evident his laws were put in place to inspire one's love for his own tribe, people, and never to abandon them.
In fact, you can also explain the Dzungar genocide solely on the fact that we are more prone to betraying of our own kin and would rather pursue goals that were not possible anymore. Just imagine a world where Dzungar genocide hadn't occurred, had it not for the fact that we've betrayed each other over and over again throughout our history starting with the Civil War, caused by Khublai's idea of moving the capital, and Arig Bukh's preserving of the state in the mainland Mongolia.
The best thing about the whole ordeal is the fact that, once when your people are done killing each other, what's left there to rule? A nation that hardly has a population, does it matter whether you're the king or not? Or do you really mean to become a king of land of nowhere.
Set your fucking differences aside for one fucking moment and think and see clearly. It is an established recognition of pattern amongst our people. In fact, even prior to our first state establishment Hunnu (Xiongnu), the Chinese had our ancestors paid tribe by tribe to make sure we fight amongst ourselves, and kill each other, afterwards they'd Sinicize everything, destroy our national identity, and take over the lands which had been preserved and treated so well by our forefathers. Best part of all this is, it is so recognized that even today it seems like our government officials are on Chinese or Russian payrolls. They'd rather not have a land and country to be proud of, and pursue financial goals. Obviously enough, they'd never acquire such wealth as much as the Rockefellers, or the JP Morgan to last for generations. Money is nice and everything, but is money really more important than having a nation to be proud of, nation our common ancestors can maybe see and be satisfied; state where the people work for the people, where young men and women alike have job opportunities when they graduate school instead of having to immigrate somewhere across the planet and become their citizens.
As for myself, I live in the West, came to the US as an 18 yrs old freshman, Cyber Security major; Buriad Mongol kid with fluent Khalkha Mongolian dialect. I learned English at an early age, as well as Russian at an early age (my grandparents live in area where the border with Russia is, and most Buriads can speak Russian), also learned Japanese fluently. Inspiration of this text actually came to me today as I was sitting in a Chinese restaurant and somehow found myself in a conversation with a Chinese girl from Mainland China, and when she had learned that I was a Mongol, she started speaking Chinese to me right away. Just the fact that they're not even aware of the past conquests, of their suffering, or why the Great wall was built at all, and what Mongol identity is, or we have any separate language at all is what absolutely shocked me. A regular civilian from China, clearly with high education and awareness of the world, isn't aware of us. Our identity is being stolen and taken away slowly but surely. Therefore, it is our duty as descendants of these great men, to preserve the national identity even if the world was ending tomorrow. You may feel worthless as if your life has no meaning, just remember that our grandparents were fighting against the Empire of Japan in 1939 with less population, less independence, even a lesser nation compared to what we have today. Why; because they clearly trusted us that if they survive these invasions and Sinicizations, they'd be able to leave us the lands and freedom we often overlook today. Yes, Mongolia sucks as a state I acknowledge that. Yes, economy isn't doing so well, nor is the society overall. However, you are the living breathing evidence of our once greatness, the legacy. In order for us to move forward, we must break the cycle of infighting and betraying of our own kin. The only way to change the world is to embody the changes you want within yourself. Just because the politicians, bureaucrats are selling us out does not mean you get to sell your own people. If you're a man, or woman with any shred of honor left from our Chingissid greatness, be better than those fuckers please. It is inevitable that young people become influential as the older generation passes to its expired state. There are far too many Mongol kids around my age across the entire planet, who are far superior than me in intellect, memory, programming, coding, cooking, sports; you name it. There will be a significant social change, developments and reforms soon enough. The likelihood of us getting another great leader as brilliant as Chingis Khaan is thin, however his true legacy of uniting of all Mongol people's and truly showing the world what we are capable of still remains to this day. It was our own fault for having only 3 million people today, it was also clearly our own fault that we are in such a weak state today. True progress comes from accepting of responsibilities and duties. Yes my parents generation, or my grandparents generation could've done better, and all that. However, they didn't know any better either. Just imagine yourself that you were born in a Soviet satellite state of Mongolia, where your entire ideology is based off Karl Marx "Das Kapital" or Stalinist, Leninist forms of communism. Would you be as clear with your judgment when your entire perception of the world is based off these men? The only kind of schooling that had existed prior to this era was Buddhist monk schools. A degraded state that is in decline, clearly decadent. The country was so left behind in technology and in science that people quite literally had no noses and ears (STD's). To truly grow as a state, we must be patriotic in all importance. Patriotism in a sense that we represent our people in positive light, work the hardest, compete the fairest, and honor our forefathers in utmost respect. Hating the Chinese meaninglessly has no fruits to us. Not to mention, those who are responsible for our genocide is mostly us (the betrayals of Mongol noyod) and the Manchus. Manchus were the Jin dynasty in 13th century. Even Israel trades with Germany today, despite holocaust Germany started, which almost erased Jewish race from the continent. We must try to help our brethren, and if we can't, then at least do no harm please.
Монгол улс сэргэн мандах өдөр ирнэ, харин тэр үед өвгөдийн захиасыг санаж, өмнөх үеийнхний алдааг давтахгүй байсугай!
