The Old Book of Tang and the Biography of Wei Zheng records: "If a husband uses copper as a mirror, he can wear a crown; with history as a mirror, he can know the rise and fall; and if he takes people as a mirror, he can see what he gains and loses." This passage is a famous quote left by Tang Taizong Li Shimin. Li Shimin believes that using history as a mirror, we can know the reasons for the rise and fall of the country. It was he who "took history as a mirror" to create the "rule of Zhenguan" and make the Tang Dynasty one of the most powerful countries in the world at that time.
In daily life, we also look in the mirror, but the mirror is only a means, and its purpose is only to let us face ourselves through the mirror. "Using history as a mirror" is the same, in order to let us see the most authentic history in the mirror. However, in recent years, we have often seen many "domestic anti-Japanese dramas" on television that can distort historical facts.
▲The crew of the Japanese army invading China
Since entering the twenty-first century, with the improvement of China's economic level and the popularization of television and computers, "brushing dramas" has become one of the many entertainment methods of our people.

Before that, in fact, a number of high-quality anti-Japanese dramas emerged, such as "Bright Sword" (Li Youbin version), "Snow Leopard" and "Indelible Fan", etc.

However, we also noticed that after being devastated by the "anti-Japanese drama", the audience summed it up into seven genres in a good and funny way.
▲"Bun Thunder" in the anti-Japanese god drama
In this kind of film and television works, the protagonists are often armed with special skills, the cornice walking on the wall can be described as a piece of cake, and the hands and feet can easily kill the Japanese army with internal strength, and the "hand tearing devil" is their housekeeping skill; the protagonists pick up the stones and throw them into the sky, they can shoot down the Japanese aircraft that are flying at high speed or even performing dive bombing tasks; although the protagonists in these works do not have the anti-heaven skills in the first two works, they are still very good, often posing against the rain of bullets and bullets. Photographers will also give a lot of close-ups at this time.

In this kind of work, our army has weapons that are beyond the times, and the combat effectiveness is so high that it is not to say that it can fight against the Japanese army, and it is said that it can sweep the world, let alone let it go; the bullets fired by the protagonist can turn around and hit the enemy at will, and the protagonist can also analyze the principle in a serious way, and the cannon can also hit the target eight hundred miles away; either there are major factual errors in time and events (such as the protagonist's grandfather was killed by the Japanese army when he was nine years old), which does not conform to the background of the times, or ancient characters and anime characters are chaotic; in these works The Nationalist army is weak and incompetent, and the Japanese army is also an idiot, anyway, except for our army, they are all turkey tile dogs.
These ironic anti-Japanese plots not only seriously damaged the feelings of audiences who originally wanted to understand history and remember the martyrs with a sincere heart, but also were not conducive to the formation of correct values and national identity, but also brought a negative impact on China's international image.

In today's developed Internet, the "anti-Japanese dramas" filmed in China have long been spread to Japan. In recent years, the Japanese media and the Internet have often reported various Chinese anti-Japanese dramas that scandalize the Japanese army and show thunderous plots, and the Japanese people have even become commonplace in this regard. However, as a villain in the War of Resistance Against Japan,
▲The lead actor of the drama attended the event
Japan's TBS television station filmed "Red Cross ~ Women's Enlistment Notice ~", the motivation of which is to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the world anti-fascist war and the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the television station, the drama mainly tells the story of a Japanese nurse who is willing to be peaceful, because she opposed Japan's invasion of China, and followed the Chinese army to save lives and help the injured.
This Japanese "anti-Japanese" TV series truly restores the plot of the war, and under the circumstance that the Japanese right-wing forces are not willing to admit the war of aggression against China, this is indeed a rare and valuable thing in Japan, where the right-wing ideological trend is rising day by day. Through the personal experience of Japanese female nurses, the crew conveys to the audience the greatness of family affection and personal smallness on the one hand, and vividly reveals the cruelty of war on the other hand.
▲ Stills from "Red Cross ~ Women's Enlistment Notice ~"
Not surprisingly, as soon as "Red Cross ~ Women's Enlistment Notice ~ " was broadcast, it was scolded by many Japanese people, and director Katsuo Fukuzawa was also threatened with death. However, from the perspective of the Chinese side, the plot of this drama is still relatively true and objective, not only does not avoid the crimes they have committed, but also expresses the hope of ordinary Japanese people for peace, which is really rare.
As a film and television work filmed by a Japanese crew, just as many domestic anti-Japanese dramas Chinese played by the Japanese army speak Chinese, the Eighth Route Army played by the Japanese in the drama also speaks fluent Japanese, and although they are brave and positive military figures, their looks and actions all reveal the taste of Japan, which is very different in the eyes of Chinese audiences. In addition, there are also errors in some details, such as the Eighth Route Army waving the flag of the new China, which is obviously a major factual error. In a word, the crew is not fooling the audience.

The Tang Dynasty poet Cao Song once wrote in the "Two Songs of the Age of Self-Hai , The First Year of Emperor Guangming of the Emperor": "Whoever daocangjiang is always fine, and recently there has been a long blood struggle." Only then can we use history as a mirror to realize the rise and great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
