In the "Han Feizi Trickster", it is said: "Those who do not advance in a good name are called martyrs in the world." "Since ancient times, China has no shortage of loyal and courageous figures, and in modern history, from the Sino-Japanese War to The announcement of Japan's unconditional surrender, countless revolutionary martyrs have selflessly dedicated themselves to the motherland, and sacrificed their lives for the motherland, which is the pride of the motherland.
In order to express the memorial and remembrance of the martyrs, we often go to the martyrs' tombs for worship, now China and Japan have established friendly exchanges, to China to work, study of the Japanese are not a minority, our people often to Japan to study, tourism, in 2013, international students Yang Haijia found the Tomb of chinese martyrs in Japan, the tombstone is engraved with 2 words, stinging people's hearts, after understanding and then learned that no one has worshiped for 120 years.
Why do Chinese martyrs' tombs appear in Japan? This matter still has to start from the Beiyang Marine Division, which is the strongest and largest of the four modern navies established at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and was formally established on December 7, 1888, and the Qing government arranged to take out 4 million taels of silver every year to build the navy.
At first, the Beiyang Marine Division was very powerful, and the strength of the fleet belonged to the first in Asia, but it is well known that the supreme ruler of the late Qing Dynasty, Cixi, lived a very luxurious life, and the chancellor Li Hongzhang was a red man around Empress Dowager Cixi, and seeing that Cixi's big birthday was approaching, the imperial family thought of the feast held by the Qianlong Emperor during his lifetime, so hundreds of officials were busy giving Empress Dowager Cixi a birthday.
If they want to hold it decently, they must have a lot of money, but at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the national treasury was empty, so they thought of military salaries, and at that time, the Qing court thought that since the Beiyang Marine Division had reached its peak, there was no need to allocate military salaries.
However, internal and external troubles were doomed not to allow Cixi to succeed in running his birthday, at that time Japan had been spying on our country for a long time, and the Japanese side's Meiji Restoration was carried out very thoroughly, in order to ensure a higher probability of victory after the war with the Beiyang Marine Division, the Japanese side made detailed preparations, and their money was spontaneous donations from the people, as well as from the salaries of Japanese officials.
In 1894, the Sino-Japanese War broke out, the ending surprised both sides, Cixi did not expect the Beiyang Marine Division to be completely destroyed, Japan did not expect that the Beiyang Marine Division would be completely destroyed, and the Japanese army also captured nearly 2,000 Chinese soldiers, and later Li Hongzhang rushed to Japan and signed the "Maguan Treaty", although most of these soldiers returned to China, but Japan still has its own small calculations behind its back.
The Japanese army secretly detained 10 soldiers, and then carried out coercion and inducement, hoping to get information about our country from their mouths, but there were still tough men in our country, and 10 soldiers did not tell Japan any information until their deaths, which made the Japanese at that time very angry, so the words "prisoner" were engraved on the tombstones of 10 soldiers.
But for our country, aren't these 10 soldiers all martyrs and heroes who defend their homes and defend their country? Therefore, Yang Haijia, an international student, found other Chinese students, and they worked together to dig up the two words of captives on the tomb of "Chinese martyrs", and sincerely worshiped these ancestors: Li Jinfu, Liu Hanzhong, Xi Xixian, Lu Wenfeng, Yang Yongkuan, Liu Qide, and the names of four people are no longer visible.
