In 1970, West German Chancellor Willy Brandt knelt down in the Warsaw Ghetto to confess, after the matter was exposed, the whole world was in an uproar, people were touched by the Germans' approach, dare to face their own wrong race, will certainly be respected by the world, Dachau concentration camp is a concentration camp built in Germany to detain and kill Jews, now this has become a tourist attraction, in the exit of the Dachau concentration camp, there is such a sentence "When the world forgets these things, that is, these things will happen." "It is a constant reminder to those who come after us.
In December 1937, the barbaric Japanese invaded Nanjing, in Nanjing for six weeks, they committed heinous crimes, the most infuriating thing is that even after so many years, the Japanese have always dared to do not dare to do it, the Nanjing Massacre, brought unlimited death and mourning, there is also such an old man, she with a tenacious fate, on the verge of death, her name is Li Xiuying.
When the Japanese army invaded Nanjing, Li Xiuying was already 7 months pregnant, and it was difficult to escape at that time, so he stayed in Nanjing and hid with his father in the Nanjing International Security Zone, which was chaired by the German businessman Johann Rabe, and its main purpose of existence was to provide refuge for Chinese soldiers and civilians who were too late to retreat.
But when they broke into Nanjing, all this changed, they did not abide by the original agreement, forcibly broke into the safety zone, burned and plundered everywhere, raped women, and killed teenagers, Li Xiuying was taking refuge with her father in the basement of the "American Church School" in the safe zone, on December 19, the Japanese army brutally broke in, they wanted to rape Li Xiuying, the stubborn Li Xiuying did not give in, she fought with 3 Japanese soldiers in the basement, 37 knives in the body, after the Japanese soldiers left, His father managed to take her to the hospital, where she miraculously survived, but also lost her child.
After the war, Li Xiuying has always used his own personal experience to expose the atrocities of the Japanese army invading China, which is regarded by the world as "living evidence" of the Nanjing Massacre. Demanded that Toshio Matsumura and the publisher of the book, Hiroaki Aizawa, publicly apologize in the mainstream Japanese media and compensate 12 million yen for the loss of the right to reputation.
After eight rounds of debate, in 2002, the Tokyo District Court ruled in the first instance that Toshio Matsumura and others should compensate Li Xiuying for 1.5 million yen in honorary expenses, but for the apology, the court did not support it, both sides were not convinced, and appealed, the second instance upheld the original judgment, Matsumura Toshio and others appealed to the Japanese Supreme Court, but Li Xiuying did not appeal again.
In 2004, the elderly Li Xiuying died in Nanjing, at the age of 86, in 2005, the Japanese Supreme Court ruled li Xiuying in favor, but unfortunately the old man did not see this scene, the old man's daughter Lu Qi called it a "late judgment"
Forgetting history means betrayal, and the victory of the elderly Li Xiuying may be the result of everyone's great joy, but the 300,000 people who died innocently at the beginning, the Japanese have always been reluctant to admit their atrocities, and are doing their best to erase this history, I hope that my generations will strengthen themselves and gather strength to develop China better and stronger!
