Today
It was the eighth Nanjing Massacre
National Day of Remembrance for the Victims
The pain of erosion of bones, the death of the nation
Sacrifice to the nation
84 years ago today
The invading Japanese army captured Nanjing
This human catastrophe lasted for more than 40 days
More than 300,000 compatriots were massacred in bloodshed
On average, one Chinese is killed every 12 seconds
△ At the end of 1937, the Japanese army entering Nanjing sent Chinese soldiers and civilians to the Shimonoseki River to be strafed with machine guns, and the corpses were piled up on the riverside, which was unbearable to see, and the Japanese troops after the attack stood next to the corpses, as if nothing happened.
There have been more than 20,000 rapes
More than a third of the buildings were destroyed
Property damage is countless...
Shoot, knife, bury alive
"Hundred People Beheading" "Collective Massacre"

The atrocities of the aggressors are inexhaustible
They deviate from the most basic conscience and morality of human beings
In a state of near madness
Destroy, slaughter, destroy

Today
Whenever I read this bloody page
The people of Nanjing at that time
Frightened eyes, desperate cries, feeble struggles
The invaders laughed wildly and the blood-stained butcher knives
It still stung our hearts deeply
……

This is the history of modern human civilization
The darkest page
It is also Chinese hundreds of millions of people
Traumatic memories that cannot be erased

In 2021
Among the survivors of the Nanjing Massacre
Eleven have passed away
As of now
Only 61 surviving survivors remain on record
The average age was about 91 years
But infuriatingly
Japan's right-wing forces are still right
The Nanjing Massacre was ambiguous
Moreover
The idea that the Holocaust simply did not exist
Forgetting history means betrayal
Denial of guilt means repeating the offense
Anyone to deny
The fact that the Nanjing Massacre was committed
History won't say yes!
The undead of 300,000 victims will not agree!
1.4 billion Chinese people will not agree!
But we must remember history
Don't just remember the hurts of the nation
And even more so, the unyielding resistance
Every son and daughter of China must remember
My generation should be self-reliant!
We remember history
Not to preach perpetuation of hatred
Instead, we must learn from history
Evoke every kind person
Yearning for and perseverance towards peace!
The national sacrifice is dedicated to my compatriots
We mourn the dead in the name of our nation
No matter what city you're in
If you hear an alarm sound
Whatever you're doing
All please stop
Bow your head and mourn for 1 minute on behalf of the compatriots who were killed
Not to perpetuate hatred
Just to wake up: my generation is self-reliant!
