A Japanese netizen posted: Why is it that more than 70 years have passed since World War II? Why can't China still forgive Japan? Other countries have also invaded China. Why does China hate Japan so much? Let me take you through some of the unforgivable things Japan did to China in those years.
Is what Japan did really so innocent?
"The blood has been burned dry, the flesh and bones have been charred, and the flames danced triumphantly above the cries, turning the stars and moonlight red." This is what Lao She wrote after experiencing the Chongqing bombing Discourse. At that time, there were layers of corpses floating on the Yangtze River, and 200,000 people were homeless.
.2 million people are homeless.
From February 1938 to August 1943, the Japanese army bombed Chongqing for five and a half years in order to make the Chinese nation obedient and stop resisting. During the Chongqing bombing, the Japanese air raids were carried out 218 times and 21,539 missiles were launched, resulting in 32,829 casualties. Just from these bloody figures, we can see how huge the damage caused by the bombing to Chongqing.
The May 3rd and May 4th explosions in 1939 were particularly tragic. Thirty-six Japanese aircraft carried out indiscriminate bombings on the Yuzhong Peninsula, a densely populated and commercially-heavy area. Hundreds of bombs rained down at one time, turning the streets into a sea of fire. The fire spread day and night. More than 10,000 people were choked to death or burned to death by the fire.. This has resulted in the phenomenon of "the bustling city is in vain and the casualties are piling up", causing great pain to the citizens of Chongqing. In order to remember this air raid, this road was also named May 4th Road .
The bustling city was in vain, and the casualties were piled up.
The "Chongqing Tunnel Massacre" is also known as one of the three major tragedies of the Chinese Anti-Japanese War.Nearly ten thousand people died in the West.. In the evening, while citizens were eating, an air raid siren suddenly sounded. Due to the suddenness, they had no choice but to take shelter in the nearest air raid shelter. The large tunnel at Jiaochangkou has become the first choice for citizens. Citizens pour in from different entrances, causing the number of people to seriously exceed the allowed limit. The tunnel, which could only accommodate 6,000 people, was now filled with over 10,000 citizens. Because there were too many people in the tunnel and the ventilation system was defective, resulting in a serious shortage of oxygen, everyone began to have difficulty breathing. The baby and the little girl also started crying because they couldn't bear it, which also paved the way for the subsequent tragedy.
The crowd started to get restless and wanted to go out, so they rushed towards the entrance of the cave. There were rumors that Japan had used poison gas bombs.
Panic crowd
People are even more panicked. Countless people are crowded at the door, unable to move in or out, and the staff on duty are also trying their best to prevent people from overflowing. At this time, the air in the cave was dirty, people trampled on each other, shouted crazily, and died of despair . In just 2-3 hours, the steps were filled with corpses, layer after layer, all the way to the entrance of the cave. It was extremely terrifying. Yet this is just one of Japan's many crimes.
The famous 731, is synonymous with Japan’s germ warfare , which is synonymous with crimes against humanity committed by Japanese imperialism in World War II. Gas experiments, vivisection, germ warfare, etc. Japanese Unit 731 committed heinous crimes in China. According to statistics, at least 3,000 people died in human experiments from 1932 to 1945.
From 1932 to 1945, at least 3,000 people died in human experiments.
Vivisection. The subjects of Japanese dissection must be absolutely awake, so they will not be anesthetized. The scene of the autopsy was horrific, and the screams were unimaginable to ordinary people.According to records: " An 18-year-old Chinese man's stomach was cut open alive. Japanese experimenters took out all his internal organs. His intestines were still squirming in the culture cup! "
Outdoors in the ice and snow, Japanese soldiers kept going Women water their arms and hands, and when the ice freezes, they knock the ice off and continue watering. After repeating it for a long time, he went back indoors and put the woman's arm into the hot water. With everyone watching, the flesh on the woman's arms and hands quickly fell off after a hard tug, leaving only dense white bones.
The object of my dissection must be absolutely awake.
The Japanese infected pregnant Chinese women with germs. After the fetus was formed, they conducted vivisection to observe the status of the fetus. They conducted experiments on multiple living people, tied them to pillars, and exploded bacterial bombs above their heads to confirm the batch infection effect of the bacterial bombs. The dead were destroyed, and the living were used to continue testing other projects.
Extract most of the blood from a physically strong person. At this time, the person is already in a dying state, and the horse's blood is immediately input. As a result, the body rejected it and all the people used for the experiment died. Such experiments are too numerous to describe and caused indelible harm to China at that time.
caused indelible harm to China at that time
Japan’s attitude
In today’s society, the principle of mutual respect should be followed. Shouldn’t the prerequisite for forgiveness be that “the Japanese have fully acknowledged the crimes committed by their ancestors?” ? Instead of trying to modify textbooks and cover up crimes like now. They have committed countless crimes in China. Are we qualified to forgive our ancestors?
The first is the Yasukuni Shrine built by the Japanese in 1869. Among the countless war dead enshrined in the Yasukuni Shrine, which one of them did not die in Japan's war of foreign aggression? Of the more than 2.46 million people in the list, 2.3 million died in the War of Aggression against China and the Pacific War. During World War II, they even said: As long as you sacrifice your life and be loyal, your soul can return to the Yasukuni Shrine.. Japanese soldiers would come to pay homage when they went to the battlefield, which also became their strength in fighting on the battlefield of aggression.
Commemorating the Daekyo Massacre
There are even 14 Japanese Class-A war criminals among them. Seven of them were all involved in Japan's conspiracy to invade East Asia and the Pacific . In particular, Matsui Iwane, who was judged by the Allies to be directly responsible for the Nanjing Massacre, was also sacrificed. After the end of World War II, they sent many Class B and C war criminals to the Yasukuni Shrine for sacrifice.
What exactly is the Yasukuni Shrine hiding? Promote what? This can be seen through the display of Yushuikan inside the Yasukuni Shrine. It is a museum of Japan's war of aggression against foreign countries. It displays Japanese killing tools from various periods. The origin of his name is even more ridiculous. It comes from the chapter "Encouraging Learning", "Therefore, a gentleman must choose his hometown when he lives, and his hometown when he travels, so he should guard against evil and stay close to the right." It means choosing a suitable place to live, and only those who are close to worthy people can follow the right path. The name of the Yasukuni Shrine means that it hopes that worshipers will learn the "righteous path" taken by these invaders.
What exactly is the Yasukuni Shrine hiding? Promote what?
The two Axis powers during World War II, one Germany and one Japan . After the end of World War II, the German Chancellor personally knelt down and begged for forgiveness. And relative to Japan, what did the Japanese people do? Can it be erased and covered up just because the incident has passed?
The Japanese are not willing to admit the crimes they have committed in their textbooks. They praise ancient Chinese history in the books, and when they talk about modern times, the style of painting changes suddenly. Derogatory words such as "corruption, chaos, weakness" are often used to describe it. Especially when it comes to World War II, Japanese textbooks go even further, often describing themselves as one of the victims. Killing a lot of innocent Chinese is just killing a lot of Chinese in their book.
Killing a lot of innocent Chinese people is just killing a lot of Chinese people in their book.
The Japanese government has their own ideas. Their textbooks are for their own reading, not for the Chinese or other countries. But from here we can see that the Japanese government has no real intention to apologize to China.
They have not removed the war criminal tablets at the Yasukuni Shrine, and they still remain silent about history. Are they really apologizing or fake?
They have not removed the ranking of war criminals from the Yasukuni Shrine, and they still remain silent about history. Are they really apologizing or fake?
Netizens have different opinions
In the mouths of the Japanese, their aggression against China has become helpless, as if they are the victims in the war and always push the blame to other countries. Many netizens still saw it, and netizens expressed their opinions one after another.
An American netizen said: War is a terrible thing, and I learned a lot of answers from here. I am of mixed American and Japanese descent, and I am an American born and educated in the United States.
From spending time in Japan, having many Japanese family members, and being generally interested in history, I would assume that most Japanese adults are aware of the atrocities committed by Japan during World War II . But due to lack of education, they are indifferent to this cruel history, and they are always serious when mentioning it, or they do not want to talk about related topics in depth. =
Most Japanese adults are aware of the atrocities Japan committed during World War II.
Japanese children have no clear awareness of war since childhood, for example, from the invasion of Manchuria in 1931 to the end of World War II in 1945. In the immediate post-war period, the Japanese government should educate children to understand the origins of the war to a certain extent and conduct a lot of discussion on Japan's war atrocities. But even under American rule, these educational contents are not always transparent. During this time, the Ministry of Education proposed a very cold approach to educating children, which was in sharp contrast to Germany's decision at the time to deeply reflect on the war.
A Korean netizen also said: " I feel that I will never be able to forgive the Japanese for the mistakes they made at that time. Not only China, but our country was also violated by the Japanese. They used shooting and even hanging. They killed many Koreans who resisted Japan and took pictures as souvenirs.
Japanese children have no clear awareness of war since they were young.
What I know most about is the comfort women incident. They forcibly sent women from China, South Korea, and other countries to In the Japanese military camp. However, the Japanese never regarded women as human beings. In their eyes, women were just tools to vent their sexual desires. Many people were tortured to the point of mental disorder and when their bodies could no longer be used, they were brutally killed. Some Many people who were lucky enough to survive were also in great pain and lived in the shadow of being violated and harmed all their lives.
In order to cover up their crimes, the Japanese paid compensation to my country, but I will not forgive what they have done, and I will not forgive them. Unforgivable! But they paid compensation to South Korea, but what about the injured women in our country? They never received compensation or apology, and they never heard a sincere confession even before they died.
But people still can't Forgetting the sorrow caused by this period of history
Although our country is now stronger, people still cannot forget the sorrow caused by this period of history. If we are not strong enough now, a nation like Japan, which bullies the weak and fears the strong, will certainly not apologize to us. .So, without strength, everything is empty talk. Only if our country is strong enough, we will not let others bully us.
