1. National Day of Public Worship
On February 27, 2014, the Seventh Session of the Standing Committee of the Twelfth National People's Congress voted to designate September 3 as the anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and to establish December 13 as the National Day of Commemoration for the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre.
2. The Nanjing Massacre
During the Chinese War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression from 1931 to 1945, after the defeat of the Republic of China in the Defense of Nanjing and the fall of the capital Nanjing on December 13, 1937 (academics believe that it began on December 5), under the command of Matsui Ishigen, commander of the Central China Dispatch Army, and Tani Shoufu, commander of the 6th Division, the Japanese invading China army carried out organized, planned, and premeditated massacres and bloody atrocities such as rape, arson, and robbery in Nanjing and the surrounding areas for 6 weeks. In the Nanjing Massacre, a large number of civilians and prisoners of war were killed by the Japanese army, countless families were torn apart, and the number of victims of the Nanjing Massacre exceeded 300,000.
3. The meaning of the Day of Public Sacrifice
1. The establishment of a national memorial day and the holding of a national public sacrifice ceremony reflect a kind of national will and dignity. Its significance lies in enabling the people to stir up the national spirit while not forgetting history and pursuing peace. History should and must be remembered in this way!
2. The establishment of the National Day of Public Sacrifice can commemorate the past, but also a measure to soothe the people's hearts and conform to the will of the people, and at the same time, the establishment of the National Day of Public Sacrifice is also a better communication between China and the world, conveying the attitude of the Chinese nation to human rights and civilization to the world, and expressing to the world our determination and responsibility to love peace and maintain peace. The National Day of Commemoration for the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre is not only Chinese, but also the whole world.
3. Oppose war and cherish peace! It is what the people of the world need, and any war for one's own selfish desires will only harm the people! The establishment of the National Day of Public Sacrifice can also promote the long-term awakening of human historical memory, avoid even a moment of forgetting and numbness, and jointly learn from history, create the future, jointly safeguard world peace and the conscience of justice, and promote common development and progress of the times.
impressions
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the people of the whole country united and cooperated, helped each other and fought desperately with the Japanese army to defend their hearts, but due to history and other reasons
The country is poor and poor, and the equipment is backward. Our soldiers and soldiers will defend the land with their flesh and blood, and have won great victories such as Taierzhuang Pingxingguan, but there are still Japanese militarists such as the Nanjing Massacre of East to carry out retaliatory activities, which are unbearable to see and extremely evil, and the country has not established a public memorial day to let us remember history and not forget the national shame, and our generation should strengthen ourselves and we have no right to forgive anyone for the elderly.
