According to the Global Times reported on December 16, on the 14th of this month, in the classroom of Shanghai Aurora Vocational College, a teacher went so far as to publicly deny the number of victims of the Nanjing Massacre, declaring that "300,000 people are not supported by data, and this '300,000' is just an 'overview' of Chinese historical fiction writing." He also told the students that "we should not hate [Japanese fascism], but should reflect on how the war came about." Subsequently, the school launched an investigation into the matter and punished it according to laws and regulations.
The teacher's remarks were so shameless that the whole country was shocked. Soon, the People's Daily commented on this, angrily rebuking, "More than 300,000 compatriots were killed in the Nanjing Massacre, and the evidence is overwhelming." Speculate in vain, question the truth of history, and be a teacher in vain! Forget the suffering, deny the evil deeds of other countries, and become a national! ”
It is really hard to imagine that a person with a despicable personality and a twisted soul would say such a thing. And they also say it in public in the classroom -- this is no longer as simple as misleading people's children, but it is a violation of morality and law and order, and it is completely possible to arrest them according to picking quarrels and provoking trouble, and then use the "Heroic Protection Law" to sentence them and make them get the punishment they deserve; and if not, when it is also a kind of blasphemy against hundreds of thousands of ancestors buried deep in the ground and the thousands of heroic souls who threw their heads and spilled their blood during the great War of Resistance Against Japan, I believe that the 1.4 billion people in the country will not agree.
The 14th of the incident was an extremely important day, that is, the day after the National Day of Commemoration for the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre, hundreds of millions of people throughout the country were still immersed in the grief and remembrance of the tragic slaughter of their ancestors by the fascist Japanese army, and at the same time, they once again aroused the people's admiration for the heroes, their hatred for the Japanese Kou, and their hopes for the future of the country and the nation. During the public festival day, it is also equivalent to a day to "ring the bell" for the Chinese nation, warning us to sound the alarm bell for a long time and not to forget the national shame. But on such a day, an extremely harsh noise was emitted from the eyes of a despicable and dirty voice in the Shanghai classroom. It's tolerable, it's intolerable!
Teaching has always been a great profession, often revered by society as the "engineer of the soul", but this teacher has disgraced the entire teaching team of the country with his own words. The 300,000 victims of his statement are "not supported by data" and are not worth refuting at all.
In 1937, although the nationalist government that ruled Nanjing and even the whole of China was decadent and dark, the household registration of the people was still accurate. Moreover, after the end of World War II, when the International Military Tribunal of the Allied Powers liquidated and tried the war crimes of Japanese fascist war criminals, Gu Shoufu, the commander of the Japanese army and the main perpetrator of the massacre, clearly listed the number of victims in his judgment - during the Japanese occupation of Nanjing, at least 190,000 people were killed in Nanjing, more than 150,000 people were killed in the surrounding suburbs, and the victims were far more than 300,000, in addition to countless rapes and plunders. This atrocity committed by the Japanese Kou is destined to be the darkest page in human history, and at the same time the most humiliating page for hundreds of millions of compatriots of the Chinese nation from generation to generation. This page can never be turned over! Whoever wants to overturn the case for the Japanese Kou will become the public enemy of the whole country.
As for the teacher's advocacy, "we should not hate, but reflect on how the war came about." This is undoubtedly a kind of work of the virgin and reflective monster hidden in the country, and her heart is reprehensible!
This kind of remark is almost identical to the rhetoric of the right-wing political forces in Japanese politics, which is obviously trying to justify the crimes of the fascist Japanese army. Perhaps, this teacher has not ruled out that there is a certain interest connection with the right-wing forces in Japan today, and it is worth a good investigation. After all, it is well documented that in recent years, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has indeed made a special sum of money for bribing Chinese intellectuals and students studying abroad, beautifying the Japanese invasion in that year, touting and degrading China today, and then trying in vain to make the people of the new era spiritually enslaved again. Vigilance is forced.
It still goes back to the phrase "rethinking war". What is the teacher's intention in questioning such a question? Is it an attempt to blame China as a victim of war crimes instead?
As for how the war came about, people who are a little familiar with modern history know that Japan's invasion of China was premeditated, and since Japan completed the Meiji Restoration and its national strength increased significantly, it had the ambition to invade and occupy China, the Korean Peninsula, and even a large part of Asia. The Sino-Japanese War of 1894 was a manifestation of Japan's aggressive ambitions. China then entered a period of weakness that was rare in history, further fueling Japan's ambitions. On the "918 Incident", "Lugou Bridge Incident"... A little understanding reveals "how the war came about." Since this teacher can enter the university classroom, he is naturally more knowledgeable than the average person, and should not be ignorant of these basic historical materials. It can be seen that this person is not ignorant, but shameless in personality. Therefore, this teacher really needs to reflect, and should reflect on it: why is he so shameless?
These deep sufferings imposed on the head by the Japanese fascists simply make every countryman with a sense of family and country not forget, and it is their own business for a small number of people who have no conscience to choose to forget, and if they want to persuade people to forget, they will only be spurned by the people of the world.
