It is recalled that in 2013, after Shinzo Abe was once again prime minister of Japan, he visited the Yasukuni Shrine in Japan at the end of that year, which caused a lot of controversy around the world and caused dissatisfaction and anger among all citizens of our country.
The original significance of the construction of the Japanese Yasukuni Shrine was to commemorate the soldiers who died in the war, but in the war environment, the inner nature of the Japanese army is not a division of justice.
And those soldiers who are so-called glorious for the country have also sacrificed themselves on the road of invading other countries, maiming other peoples, and undermining world peace.
In the eyes of Japanese politicians, the Yasukuni Shrine is nothing more than their acting show to win over Japan's right-wing groups, and I think Abe also sees this as an opportunity for him to show loyalty like a certain national university.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="6" > sins that cannot be atonened even if they are crushed to pieces</h1>
In the eyes of our people, the Yasukuni Shrine is definitely the "illegal building" in the world that should be demolished and razed.
And the reason why we are stung by Abe's visit to the shrine is, on the one hand, we will see this as another provocation by sinners to the victims of war, and on the other hand, the war wounds that have been hidden in our hearts have been whipped again.
During the war in which the Japanese aggressors invaded our territory, they caused great harm to our territory and to the people of all nationalities of our country.
In the war of aggression, Japan adhered to the "strategy of burning, killing, and robbing the three lights."
Around 1940, the germ warfare strategy, hundreds of thousands of inhumane human experiments were conducted, and on December 13, 1937, the Wounds suffered by the Chinese nation were as deep as a ravine- the Nanjing Massacre.
On December 13, 1937, the 6th Division of the Japanese Army captured Nanjing, china, and on the day of entering the city, the divisional officer Tani Shoufu and the commander of the Japanese Central Chinese Army Matsui Ishigen jointly decided, the Japanese Sixth Division regiment began a large-scale and long-term massacre.
The massacre lasted for 42 days, the corpses were strewn all over nanjing, almost none of the women and children were spared from being bullied and killed, and the men and the elderly also died under the guns or bayonets of the Japanese army' crimes.

Gu Shoufu, the commander of the Japanese Sixth Division at the time, joined forces with the 114th and 18th divisions to participate in the massacre after invading Nanjing on December 12, 1937.
Gu Shoufu was an admirer of militarism and a fanatic of fascist groups, and Gu Shoufu attached all development goals and operational goals to the banner of military expansion, and his operational creed was extremely bad - "seizure is the best way to maintain morale"
Cooperating with this beast general was another beast whose selfish ambitions were extremely inflated, and the commander of the Japanese army in central China at that time, Matsui Ishigen.
Looking back at the history of the war, if Gu Shoufu was a sinner who personally led his troops to commit evil deeds, then Matsui Ishigen can be called the source of the crime that directly led to the Nanjing Massacre.
In 1937, the Japanese aggressors originally wanted to suppress the main force of the Kuomintang army in the Shanghai area, and even resorted to the vicious act of openly killing prisoners of war to shake the spirit of the Kuomintang government.
However, three months after the Battle of Songhu began, the Japanese side still did not see the war situation clear, and because the siege troops suffered considerable losses, they planned to abandon the attack on Nanjing.
However, the Japanese officers on the front line of the battlefield insisted on occupying Nanjing, and the rear staff and the front-line army had a contradiction, and Matsui Ishigen saw the opportunity, ran in many directions and successfully encouraged the staff to issue offensive orders again.
The next day, the Japanese army gathered its fighting strength during the Battle of Songhu and launched a general attack on Nanjing, and the Kuomintang garrison was difficult to sustain, and some generals were even afraid to flee the defensive front, and the city of Nanjing eventually fell.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="18" > the death penalty is only the lightest sentence</h1>
"More than 2,200 police officers of our army were captured by the Japanese army, and they were strafed by Japanese machine guns at the Zhonghua Gate, and those who were wounded were buried alive."
"Soldiers and villagers in the Shogunate Mountains were bound by wire and were expelled to the Grass Shoe Gorge, where machine guns strafed and the wounded were stabbed to death with bayonets, after which the Japanese burned them with kerosene"...
"Outside the Zhonghua Gate of Nanjing City, the young girl was bullied and humiliated by the Japanese soldiers, the rebels were stabbed to death with bayonets, and the Japanese army took advantage of the night to enter the house, regardless of the old and the young"...
These are the contents of the prosecution of the prisoners of the Nanjing Massacre in Japan in the capacity of the Chinese government in the court of judgment.
After Japan's surrender, the two main perpetrators of the Nanjing Massacre, Tani Shoufu and Matsui Ishigen, were prosecuted by the International Military Tribunal, and Tani Shoufu and Matsui Ishigen were defined as Class B and Class A war criminals respectively.
In court, Mr. Tani and Matsui Shigen have been pretending to be foolish denials, trying to shirk all the connections to the Nanjing massacre.
However, even the defense lawyers of the two were reluctant to side with them, and when the presiding judge finally asked the defense lawyers, the latter only replied with "the evidence of the person, the evidence of the crime is real, and the law should be followed according to the basis of facts."
In the end, Gu Shoufu, a Class B war criminal, completed a public trial in Nanjing, China, and was sentenced to death by shooting, and the trial document was personally approved by Chiang Kai-shek.
On the day of the execution, the streets of Yuhuatai in Nanjing raised a terrible spit and curse, and Gu Shoufu was paralyzed by fright, and there was no need to bind him.
On April 26, 1947, as the bullet shot through the back of Tani's skull and his mouth shot out, the applause from the street was thunderous.
In order to escape the trial, Matsui Ishigen wanted to hide in a religious and cultural sanctuary, and he built a Kannon temple in Japan to pray for the blessings of soldiers on both sides of the war.
In the end, Matsui Ishigen did not escape trial as he wished, and in 1945 Matsui Ishigen was arrested and escorted to a military court, where he was sentenced to death by hanging.
Since his arrest in 1945, Matsui Ishigen has tried his best to excuse himself, and all kinds of nonsense and ghost words have been said by him, but even if he has been messing around for three years, Matsui Ishigen still cannot escape the trial of human justice.
At the end of December 1948, Matsui Ishigen was sent to the gallows, and after a frantic struggle, the execution scene returned to calm, and at the 12th and a half minutes of execution, Matsui Ishigen was convicted of losing his vital signs.

History is not as simple as "things in the past", history is the root of all the current situation today, it is an important reference that prompts us to know how to move forward, where to move forward, and inspires us to take the right step.
And like the Nanjing Massacre, this eternal pain of the Chinese nation, this wound that can never be healed.
It is also this scar that will make us always remember the blood and tears of the revolutionary martyrs to revitalize the motherland and save the nation.
It also reminds us not to forget history, to remember the turbulent years of the country, and to build the motherland more powerful with the ardent expectations of the revolutionary ancestors.
