Speaking of the Japanese war of aggression against China, many people may think that it was only in the eight years from 1937 to 1945. In fact, this was the time for the Japanese army to invade China in full. You should know that when the Eight-Nation Alliance attacked Beijing city , there was Japan, so the Japanese invasion of China earlier than in 1937. At that time, the Japanese army and other countries were busy robbing in China, and many wars broke out with other countries invading China.
For example, the Japanese invaded Northeast my country, which had a conflict of interests with the then Tsarist Russian , and eventually the Russo-Japanese War broke out. Surprisingly, in the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese army defeated Tsarist Russia several times the Japanese army with a small advantage, and quickly achieved results in the capture of Dalian and Lushun. In order to show off "military achievements" and beautify the Japanese militarist colonial activities against China, the Japanese army spent two years requisitioning tens of thousands of Chinese workers to build a 66-meter-high stone tower on the top of Baiyu Mountain in Lushunkou District, Dalian City, Liaoning Province.
The inside of the tower is distributed in a spiral staircase, with a total of 273 levels. The spiral of the tower is a typical warhead shape, in order to commemorate the "dead" of the Japanese army in the Russo-Japanese War. After completion, the stone tower quickly became a patriotic memorial stone tower in the hearts of the Japanese, because behind this tower was their victory over the powerful Tsarist Russia. But in fact, this stone tower was built by them to exploit tens of thousands of Chinese workers, and it was a manifestation of the Japanese invaders' arbitrarily plundering Chinese resources.
So, not only the Chinese people are likely to think of the Japanese invasion of the Northeast when they see this tower, but even Russia also remembers that they were defeated by the Japanese army. This shame was hoped that during the Japanese army's capture of brigade and Shunkou , they hoped that the Japanese army could dismantle the stone towers without grudges. But for the Japanese army, this kind of war result that was not easy to achieve, and their ambitions to invade at that time were already very great, they ignored Tsarist Russia's demands.
Until the founding of New China, the Soviet Union did not forget that there was a stone tower in China that made them feel ashamed. They also repeatedly asked China to demolish it to help them quickly forget this history. At that time, although my country's socialist construction urgently needed the assistance of the Soviet Union's eldest brother, China's attitude on this stone tower was very firm and repeatedly told the Soviet Union that it was impossible to demolish it. Faced with the former shame of the Soviet Union, China told the Soviet Union that this stone tower was not only a shame for you, but also a shame for 400 million Chinese.
For future generations, it should be protected well so that future generations should not forget the national shame. Now, this stone tower, which has been built for more than a hundred years, has been damaged to varying degrees due to long-term erosion by wind and rain, and has even threatened the lives and safety of many Issimistic tourists. Therefore, the local government has spent a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources to repair it just to protect this building that can always alert China's descendants.
