History is a mirror that reflects the glories and sufferings of the past, and also warns of the direction of the future. As Chinese, we should remember those sinners who have brought great disasters to the Chinese nation and the crimes they have committed. Here are the top 10 sinners in Japan and their crimes:
1. Emperor Hirohito:
As the top decision-maker of Japan's war of aggression against China, Emperor Hirohito directly promoted the protracted war. His ambition and aggressive policy have brought untold suffering and losses to China.
2. Shiro Ishii:
As the commander of the 731 Biochemical Unit, Shiro Ishii was a representative of the crimes against humanity committed by Japanese militarism in the war. Unit 731, led by him, conducted a large number of human experiments and bacteriological warfare in northeastern China, causing the deaths of countless innocent civilians.
3. Ninji Okamura:
As a high-ranking general in Japan's war of aggression against China, Okamura Ninji was one of the main promoters of the "Three Light Policy". This policy, which included "killing, burning, and robbing all the people," brought great suffering and disaster to the Chinese people.
4. Toshio Tani
: As one of the main commanders of the Nanjing Massacre, Gu Shoufu ordered the indiscriminate bombing and massacre of the city of Nanjing. The massacre, which resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians, was one of the most tragic atrocities of World War II.
5. Hirofumi Ito:
As an important figure and statesman of Japan's Meiji Restoration, Ito Hirobumi actively promoted the signing of the Treaty of Shimonoseki during the Sino-Japanese War. The signing of this treaty not only caused China to pay a huge amount of compensation, but also ceded Taiwan and the Penghu Islands and other territories, which greatly damaged China's sovereignty and dignity.
6. Hideki Tojo:
As an important representative of Japanese militarism and a Class A war criminal in World War II, Hideki Tojo was one of the planners of the 918 Incident. This incident marked the beginning of Japan's full-scale invasion of China, which brought China an eight-year war of resistance against Japan.
7. Ozene:
As a general and statesman of Japan's Meiji period, Oyama Iwa played an important role in the Russo-Japanese War. However, after the end of the war, he ordered the brutal massacre and plundering of Lushun, which brought great disaster to the local people.
8. Mijiro Umezu:
As the commander of the Japanese Kwantung Army, Umezu Mijiro committed many crimes during the war. He connived at and participated in the atrocities and aggression of the Japanese army in Northeast China, causing great suffering and losses to the local people.
9. Soil Fertilizer Enkenji:
As a spy and assassination expert on Japanese militarism, Kenji Dohi planned and participated in a number of assassinations and sabotage during the war. His actions not only endangered China's national security and social stability, but also greatly damaged the feelings and friendship between the Chinese and Japanese peoples.
10. Matsui Ishine:
As the other major commander of the Nanjing Massacre, Matsui Ishone committed heinous crimes during the war. He ordered the indiscriminate bombing and massacre of the city of Nanjing, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians. This atrocity shocked the world and caused the Chinese people to have a deep hatred and anger against Japanese militarism.
These sinners and their crimes are a shame and a pain in the history of the Chinese nation. As Chinese, we should bear in mind these historical facts, not forget the national shame, and remember history. At the same time, we should also cherish the hard-won peace and tranquility, strive to promote the friendly development of Sino-Japanese relations, and make positive contributions to peace and stability in Asia and the world at large.
