As we all know, December 13 every year is a public day, which is used to mourn the victims of the Nanjing Massacre. Let future generations always remember history, do not forget the shame, remember their mission for life, and resolutely safeguard the rights and interests of the country. During the period of Japan's invasion of China, all kinds of heinous crimes committed by the Japanese army stung the hearts of every Chinese people, and the actions of the Japanese army caused many innocent people to lose their lives, lose their families, and lose their homes. The injuries and losses caused during this period cannot be repaired and forgiven.
Disappointingly, decades have passed. Japan has no remorse or guilt about the history of its invasion of China, and even wants to falsify history in an attempt to change the truth of the facts and beautify its war. In the face of such an attitude, it is even more unforgivable and more indignant. Of course, not all Japanese people are so cheeky and shameless, and such an 80-year-old Japanese veteran came to China to apologize and said that he wanted to meet his former opponents.
His name is Shioya Baofang, the elderly he has come to the Tai'an Martyrs Cemetery several times to repent, here is specially built for the heroes of the War of Resistance, the reason why this Old Japanese man came to the cemetery many times is because the war of aggression against China also had his participation, he came to atone for his sins, although he did not know the names on these tombstones, but his heart was still full of guilt, from his red eyes can be seen, so far there has also been a scene of kneeling in front of the tombstone.
This scene makes people very moving, but also makes people wonder, why does he have a repentant heart as a Japanese army invading China? What exactly did he go through to make such a move? In fact, when the war of aggression against China broke out that year, Shioya Baofang did not voluntarily join the army, when Japan wantonly recruited troops, he also broke his left finger in order not to be a soldier, he thought that he could escape, but fate seemed to be against him, and finally he was forced to fight on the battlefield.
He stayed in the first unit for two years, and then was transferred to the Japanese 59th Division, which was one of the main forces in the Japanese invasion of China, during the invasion of China, he constantly followed the troops to sweep the villages, killed people when he saw them, left no one behind, and the villages they passed were plundered, and finally burned with a fire that could not be moved. This is the three-light policy of the cruel Japanese army.
When he recalled this bloody past, his mood was very sad, and he explained that he did not want to kill people, but was forced to be helpless, because this was the order of his superiors, and he had to obey, if he disobeyed, he would die. After Japan's surrender, Shioya was sent to Siberia by the Soviets as a prisoner of war and began a three-year hard life. Of these, only a few survived, including Shioya Hofu.
It took many years for the captives to be taken back by the Japanese. After returning to China, Shiotani Baofang deeply realized that the damage caused by war to a country was too great, and he thought of the cruel acts he had done to China, and felt very guilty, so he came to China to express his remorse. In fact, he came to China for another purpose, and he also wanted to meet Wang Yongjian, an old rival he met in the Battle of Luzhong.
After many efforts, after seeing Wang Yongjian, Shioya Baofang's mood was indescribable, he directly bowed his head and knelt down in front of him, perhaps no matter what kind of words looked pale and weak in the face of sin, such a way may be able to express his remorse.
