War is terrible, countless lives are destroyed in the rain of bullets and bullets, for different countries, perhaps the soldiers of the other side are like killers, or even extreme demons, but for the soldiers of their own countries, what will they think?
According to records, The Second World War, referred to as World War II, can also be called the World Anti-Fascist War. The campaign was fought on a global scale on the one hand of the three fascist Axis powers of the German Reich, the Empire of Japan, the Kingdom of Italy, and the Kingdom of Hungary, with the Anti-Fascist League and the anti-fascist forces of the world on the other. This is the largest world war in human history.
Among them, on September 18, 1931, Japan launched the September 18 Incident and occupied the northeast region of China, thus forming the source of the first war in the east of the world. At that time, the Western powers generally pursued a policy of appeasement, which they intended to seek temporary peace by conniving at fascist behavior. As a result, Japan was able to assert itself. This incident broke the relatively stable world pattern formed after the First World War, and the Second World War has emerged.
Then, after a fierce war between the two sides, the balance of victory slowly shifted to the anti-fascist side, and then the members of the Axis powers surrendered one after another due to defeat, leaving only Japan's stubborn resistance, and because the Japanese side did not surrender in accordance with the announcement issued by the Allies, the United States dropped two atomic bombs over Japan, completely hitting Japan, so on August 15, 1945, Emperor Hirohito of Japan announced his unconditional surrender. And on September 2, 1945, representatives of the Japanese government signed the Instrument of Unconditional Surrender. At this point, the Second World War ended.
After the Second World War, Germany and Japan took a very different approach to this issue: Germany established a systematic mechanism for reflecting on the war and carried out a thorough reflection on the war.
However, after World War II, Japan denied everything it could, and since the end of the war, it has vigorously denied the aggressive nature of its foreign wars and distorted the historical facts of the tragic disasters caused to the invaded countries and peoples.
In fact, this is also because the Japanese side is different in thinking from other countries, and this also leads to the "special" treatment of its returning soldiers.
Japanese imperialism began to form and develop after the Meiji Restoration, and its ideological origin is the ancient and medieval Japanese Bushido spirit. Bushido, which was under the control of its consciousness, became a tool to control the Japanese people's thinking internally; externally, it expanded wildly, leading the Japanese nation to disaster and into a war of aggression.
For them, Bushido is the ideological source of Japanese militarism, for them, Bushido is not only a view of life and a world view, but also the obligation and duty of the samurai. These include moral codes and codes of conduct such as loyalty to the monarch and absolute obedience. Bushido's influence on all aspects of Japan's political and social life was extremely far-reaching, not only among samurai, but also in the tradition of militaristic thought and culture.
Therefore, in fact, in the depths of their hearts, they do not think that World War II is an act of aggression, let alone that their behavior is shameful, nor do they feel that this is a cruel act, but they feel that they can fight for the country and feel honored for the country to prosper.
However, these Japanese soldiers, who fought for their "justice," returned home feeling very ashamed. Because of the special education of the Japanese, their hearts and thoughts are deeply influenced by militarism, resulting in their sense of humiliation and self-esteem is very strong, and their competitive spirit is also very strong, so once they fail, they cannot tolerate it, and even use the extreme way of cutting their stomachs to end their lives, in order to express their loyalty to imperialism and to defend their face and dignity.
However, after the end of the war, as the defeated, many Japanese soldiers still returned home.
However, there are some women who feel that their husbands have been fighting outside for a long time and are likely to have died on the battlefield, so they are not willing to wait for them anymore and remarry. When these soldiers, who were still lucky enough to survive, returned home, they found that their wives had married others, and it was better to live than to die.
But even the wives who awaited them had deep-seated militaristic ideas, so when they saw their husbands and returned home in defeat, they were ashamed of the soldiers who had lost the battle and returned alive.
And the government does not have the so-called preferential treatment for these soldiers, or even ignores them! Therefore, even some Japanese soldiers directly became beggars after returning to China, and could only beg for a living, so many Japanese soldiers felt that it was better to die on the battlefield and win honors.
But the suffering of these Japanese soldiers is not sympathetic, after all, they have invaded our homeland like the devil.
What do you think about that?
