In March 1946, 11 judges went to Tokyo, Japan, to begin the trial of Japanese war criminals.
They came from the United States, China, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, France, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the Netherlands, India and the Philippines.
At that time, China's representative was Mei Ruxuan, who served as a Chinese judge at the International Military Tribunal for the Far East.
In our view, this is a verdict of good versus evil, and a verdict should be made soon.
However, this trial lasted for more than two years.
The final judgment is only a hasty end, and justice has become a joke in the political game.

"Tokyo Trial" mainly shows the trial of Class A war criminals, including Hideki Tojo and Kenji Doihara, who are very familiar to Chinese.
How painful is the pain of a war they have planned and waged.
The witness Chinese and spoke of his painful experience.
How do the criminals react in the face of all sorts of unspeakable sins?
Their collective reaction was, I'm not guilty.
Some pretended to be ill to escape trial. For example, Shumei Okawa.
As a militarist fanatical thinker and planner of the September 18 Incident, he pretended to be mad and beat Hideki Tojo during the trial, and was finally released for so-called mental illness.
Mei Ruxuan commented on this absurd matter: "This is a mockery of legal justice."
Some began to argue, and Itagaki Seishiro arrogantly wrote a 48-page defense to affirm his innocence.
Hideki Tojo, on the other hand, was not ashamed in the face of the accusations, and this was nothing more than a "lost" battle.
Even if black and white are reversed on the spot, whoever makes you resist, and if you resist me, I will kill, it is all the fault of your Chinese commander.
This is the attitude of war criminals. For them, what is wrong is not their crime of aggression, but only that they have been defeated.
As long as there is still a chance, they will continue their previous choices. Death is unrepentant.
When the lawyer asked Hideki Tojo, "Will you let Japan continue to invade?" ”
Hideki Tojo replied, "Yes."

During the war, the Japanese authorities continued to propagate to the people how reasonable and just the war was.
So much so that after the war, the Japanese people always considered themselves victims, not perpetrators.
They worship the United States, accuse China, and point their incompetence and fury at countries that have suffered from their own aggression.
We must admit that they are indeed calling for peace.
But the peace they call for is based on a different kind of memory.
That is we are defeated, we are too miserable, we are poisoned by war, we want "peace".
As for the crimes against others, that is no matter, it is the persecution of the defeated by your victors.

Chinese, who were deeply persecuted, even the position of the second court seat was won by Judge Mei Ruxuan on the basis of reason.
The arrangement of trial seats began with the United States, the United Kingdom, and China.
Mei Ruxuan protested, China is the second recipient of the surrender ceremony, there are so many victims in the land of China, China has been fighting bloody resistance for so many years, how can it be ranked after Britain?
In the end, the initial victory was achieved, and China finally participated in the trial with the second seat.
The trial dragged on and on, and after more than two years, a group of well-documented war criminals were sheltered and escaped the death penalty.
The Indian judge put it this way, "The Buddha will forgive him for everything he does."
Mr. Mei Ruxuan once again fought against the crowd, and the result was a narrow victory of 6 to 5 in favor of the death penalty than against the death penalty.
At the end of 1948, after a lengthy trial, only seven Class A war criminals were finally sentenced to death.
The emperor and his royal family, who manipulate everything behind the scenes, are safe and sound.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="127" >4.War criminals return to the shrine, where is the reflection? </h1>
Due to political games, the facts are covered up and distorted, and the memories are altered and modified.
One day, the war criminals who had been justly sentenced became enshrined beings.
In 1978, Hideki Tojo, who had strongly declared his "innocence," moved to the Yasukuni Shrine.
How many young people know what is inside the Yasukuni Shrine? Have these people done anything?
In an era when entertainment is king, it is imperative to face up to history.
