Wars of aggression have never been just, and no amount of "painstaking effort" can be used to whitewash them, but they cannot erase the incomparably true evidence of incriminating crimes. 84 years ago, the invading Japanese army opened the gates of Nanjing, and they used various heinous methods of killing, killing 300,000 Chinese. On that day, the whole city of Nanjing was bleeding, the entire Chinese nation was crying, and the conscientious reporter recorded the brutal atrocities of the Japanese army.
The Japanese burned and looted the city of Nanjing for six weeks, during which Chinese killed in droves, mostly unarmed civilians. At the same time, Nanjing's cultural relics were looted, and valuables in banks and shops were looted. It can be said that the army of fascist Japan is no longer an army, but a devil with no humanitarian spirit at all. The Japanese have repeatedly shown the image of "modesty and courtesy" to the world, while the Japanese army invading China has no humanity, which shows how hypocritical this "modesty and courtesy" is...
The Nanjing Massacre gave the world a glimpse of the barbarism of the Japanese. In 1945, when two atomic bombs were dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima in Japan, a large number of Japanese civilians instantly disappeared. Years later, the U.S. pilot who dropped the atomic bomb said that if he did it again, he would do it again. Indeed, as the Chinese nation that experienced the tragedy of the Nanjing Massacre, we also felt how just it was to drop atomic bombs on the Japanese mainland and end the war of aggression of fascist Japan.
At the Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall, the black number "300,000" is left there like a scar. It is telling us, "Don't forget the shame of the country, keep the mission in mind." We enjoy today's time of peace, let alone forget the shame and suffering of the past, and at the same time we must be vigilant against the renewed desire of Japan's military ambitions.
More than 70 years after the end of World War II, there are signs of militarism in Japan. After the new Prime Minister Kishida Fumio came to power, he actively promoted Japan's military expansion, and the defense budget was demolished at a record high. Former Japanese Prime Minister Abe even said wildly, "Once a conflict breaks out in the Taiwan Strait, Japan cannot sit idly by." It is not difficult to see that this series of words and deeds and actions clearly shows that this country has not completely reflected on its own historical crimes.
In World War II, not only China was attacked by the Japanese army, but also Countries such as South Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines and Singapore. It is no exaggeration to say that "wherever the Japanese army went, there were mountains of corpses", and its cruelty was comparable to the "genocidal policy" of fascist Germany against the Jewish people. Not only the Nanjing Massacre, but also a series of bloody events such as the "Manila Massacre" were also created by Japan. No matter how much the Japanese government today glorifies its crime of aggression, this blood debt can never be erased.
We cannot watch Japan re-enter the path of militarism, or even to wage war again. Many countries around the world should join hands to curb the resurgence of Japanese militarism and avoid a repetition of the history of World War II, which is of great significance for maintaining the current peace. On the day of the Nanjing Massacre, let us mourn for the 300,000 compatriots who were killed, and we will never forget you.
