The Chinese Martyrs' Cemetery buried 4 Japanese soldiers, and Japan's repeated requests were rejected, only because the tombstone was engraved with 2 characters
On the battlefield of the War of Resistance Against Japan, many brave soldiers sacrificed their precious lives for the country. In order to commemorate their great achievements, later generations spontaneously built a martyrs' cemetery for them. There are many revolutionary martyrs buried in the martyrs' cemetery, and people can not only look up to the glorious deeds of their ancestors, but also feel the magnificent integrity of their bodies. However, there is a martyrs' cemetery in Yunnan, China, where four Japanese soldiers were killed in battle and buried.
After the Meiji Restoration in 1868, Japan's national strength increased rapidly, and Japan jumped on the capitalist road to become one of the few militarist countries in the world at that time. After Japan was reborn, it began to wage war against China. After the Sino-Japanese War of 1894, Japan received 230 million silver compensation from the weak courts of the Qing Dynasty. After tasting the sweetness, Japan not only did not use compensation to develop its domestic economy, but also used compensation to develop its military, making Japan a military power in Asia within a few years.
In 1900, Japan, as the main force of the Eight-Power Alliance, led seven other countries to seize the treasures of the Imperial Palace and burned the Yuanmingyuan with torches, known as the "Ten Thousand Gardens". The crimes committed by Japanese soldiers in our country are difficult to describe. In 1931, Japan finally began to fight in northeast China, becoming the first source of war in Asia. In addition, Japan, with its expanding ambitions, forged a strategic alliance with Germany and Italy, marking the formal establishment of the fascist alliance and the beginning of our country's War of Resistance.
In the face of Japan's aggression, the aspiring people of our country naturally cannot sit still. They threw themselves into the army and joined the tide of the War of Resistance Against Japan. Since 1931, after 14 years of hard struggle, Japan has finally announced its surrender. They have left China with indelible hurtful and painful memories. Especially for those Japanese soldiers who died in the war, they were doomed to never enter their homeland, because it was necessary to start a war. With the founding of New China, we must not only remember our historical mission, not only heroes and revolutionary martyrs, but also the deep repentance of the Japanese army.
In a martyrs' cemetery in Tengchong, Yunnan, the names of every soldier who fought valiantly with the Japanese army were buried. In the solemn martyrs' cemetery, tombstones are erected everywhere, and the large characters engraved on the tombstones are very glorious. In addition, four Japanese corpses were buried in the tomb, and these four Japanese soldiers were engraved with two large characters on the tombstones, "Wozuka.") "And our country has ruthlessly refused, which Japan has asked China countless times. The statue at the entrance of the garden vividly shows the confession of the Japanese army.
History needs to be remembered, and repentance needs to be remembered. The crimes of the Japanese are spurned by all the countries of the world. If Japan does repent, it will, like Germany, erect a monument to repentance at home and reflect on what it has done. But Japan not only failed to do so, but also tried to distort the history in textbooks and try to legitimize the war, which was unacceptable to China. The statue of four Japanese soldiers kneeling in the martyrs' cemetery is the best testimony.
