After reading "Nanjing Massacre", the whole person is not good

Yesterday afternoon, I finished reading Zhang Chunru's "Nanjing Massacre", and after reading it, I had an indescribable feeling, and suddenly I couldn't find the words to express my emotions. Late at night, I sent this message in the circle of friends:

My sorrow is meaningless,

My anxiety is meaningless,

My anger is meaningless...

I'm just an ordinary person.

Like ants,

It's like being abandoned.

The living,

Sleep well this night,

You'll die at any moment.

If there is a chance to survive,

Make a machine, forget the flesh,

Forget every date.

ps: Reading Zhang Chunru's "Nanjing Massacre", I don't know how to express it, write these few words.

These words, in fact, still do not properly and fully express the emotions that I have generated after reading this book, and I don't know why this is the case.

Let's share some of the emotions recorded casually when reading here.

P s: The following gray font is the original text, and the normal font is the feeling of writing down casually.

As a writer, I want to save those who are forgotten. Speak for those who can't speak up.

This is the duty of a writer, and it has nothing to do with the age, nationality, or gender of the writer. If a writer has always had such ambition and motivation to dig, record, and tell, this kind of writing is most likely not wrong.

We should also note that some so-called "historians" who study China or Asia in the United States actually speak for Japan with a lot of financial support from Japan. Some of the research on Japanese history in American universities is also funded by Japan, so it is difficult for their research to remain objective.

If you savor this passage carefully, can you understand something?

Dying for the loyalty of his master was the supreme honor in the samurai's life.

In essence, this kind of samurai is nothing more than a regional version of a slave. When such slaves become the tools of their masters, they can naturally do anything mad.

For centuries, green mountains and rivers have not only added beauty to Nanjing, but also a natural military barrier for Nanjing.

This is what green mountains and rivers are.

In the dark ages, most people become insensitive and go with the flow, but there are always a very small number of people who stand up, ignore all warnings, and do feats that even they themselves in normal times can never understand, for reasons that most of us will never understand.

I believe that such a person will always have a character and courage called "goodness" in his heart.

We are accustomed to saying "fearless", a "big" word is the best and most accurate evaluation of this kind of person, because "big" and "fearless", so in our context there are "big husband", "big hero", "big hero", "big general" and other titles. It's just that such people are very few in any dark age.

Most of the people in charge of the safe zone are mild-mannered readers with no experience dealing with large numbers of rapists, murderers and street hooligans. However, they even played a role as a protector of the police in Nanjing, and with some courage and strength that came from nowhere, they threw themselves into battle like warriors: rescued Chinese men from the execution ground, kicked Japanese soldiers away from Chinese women, and sometimes even jumped in front of machine guns and cannons to stop the Japanese from firing.

Reader, these three words once again burst out the power of reading. The two titles of "Chinese man" and "Chinese woman" have become a concept of miscellaneous tastes in this text and in that period of time that cannot be looked back.

Hatred and anger have no meaning, the real meaning is that we remember that period of history clearly and accurately, strive to be strong, and really strong enough that no foreigner or foreigner dares to act rashly. This kind of strength should be more powerful in spirit, integrity, culture, and the soul of the Chinese nation, not simply the strength of economic and military strength.

They ordered Chinese to make thousands of Japanese flags and parade them in the streets to show and video the residents of Nanjing cheering and cheering for the Japanese army. Japanese photographers also filmed Chinese children receiving treatment from Japanese military doctors and receiving candy from Japanese soldiers in Nanjing.

Reading such a text, I suddenly had a feeling of suffocation.

Any text is inevitably related to reality, although the truth expressed in the text is different from the background of the current era, but how similar is this kind of act of deceitful director whitewashing!

The Japanese are trying to denigrate our efforts in the safe zone. They intimidate and threaten poor Chinese and make them refuse to believe our words... Some Chinese are even willing to prove that all looting, rape, and burning were committed by their own compatriots and have nothing to do with the Japanese. Sometimes I feel like we're dealing with lunatics and idiots, and to my surprise, all of us foreigners have withstood this ordeal and survived.

Madmen and idiots naturally have underlying reasons for existence and endless life, and now, in the eyes of James McAllen, there will be more "madmen and idiots".

True strength is the dual strength of spirit and body! Simple sharp teeth and sharp mouths are never related to strength.
