"I was temporarily ordered to attack Nanjing, and I have no choice but to do anything about it."
"The main responsibility for the Nanjing Massacre lies with the Chinese, we fight back entirely out of self-defense"
"If the Chinese had not insisted on resisting, the people of Nanjing would not have been massacred."
In the court where the trial of in Tokyo, many Japanese war criminals openly expressed such views in an attempt to cover up the numerous crimes they committed in China.
But the truth of history cannot be rewritten in just a few words. Every Chinese will not forget the harm caused to Chinese compatriots by the Japanese invaders in China.
So how cruel is the truth about the Nanjing Massacre? What results did the Tokyo Trial finally achieve? Let’s learn more about it below.
The Japanese turned black and white, but how could the truth be tampered with? I believe many people have watched the movie " Jinling Thirteen Flowers " filmed by director Zhang Yimou . I believe that many people have watched it. There is such a plot in the movie that I believe will impress many people.
Hundreds of young female students were intercepted by Japanese soldiers, and finally they could only hide in a church built by Americans, like lambs waiting to be slaughtered in the corner of the church, trembling.
Everyone knew in their hearts at that time that once they were caught by Japanese soldiers, what would be the ending that would be waiting for them. It is worth mentioning that among the group of people who escaped into the church, there were more than a dozen prostitutes.
The word prostitute will be looked down upon by people in any era, but in that era when the country and people were persecuted by Japanese invaders for no reason, those prostitutes showed a strong sense of national responsibility.
Because the founder of that church was American, the Japanese invaders did not dare to go in and catch people directly, but they also made an unreasonable request that could not be rejected.
"As long as we hand over the female students in it, we will let the others live." Although the priest in the church couldn't bear to see this scene appear, what could he do at that time?
Finally, the thirteen prostitutes stood up, they changed into the clothes of the students and resolutely walked into the Japanese clutches.
Everyone knows what the end of their thirteen will be, but they choose to leave their hope of survival to female students who may be more effective in the country.
At that moment, no one looked down on these prostitutes again. They shone with moving brilliance, and they lifted up their character and backbone. The scenes shown in the
movie are enough to make people cry, but the real history is far more cruel than the ones shown in the movie, because the group of Japanese soldiers at that time were veritable "devils on earth".
They not only publicly raped women on the streets, but even threatened those refugee camps to hand over a certain number of women, otherwise they would kill everyone.
What makes people feel even more heartbreaking is that those beasts actually don’t even let pregnant women and children go, and the crimes they committed in Nanjing are simply innumerable.
Li Zijian is a famous painter in my country, and has created countless popular works. and what he is most proud of is the oil painting that records the scenes of the Nanjing Massacre.
At that time, Li Zijian was just a 12-year-old child. Most of his family members died in the Nanjing Massacre, and only he and his mother survived.
But the mother and son didn't know how cruel the Japanese soldiers were at that time. They regarded human lives as a mustard, and anyone who could not escape became the wronged souls under their swords.
Later, after the atrocities of the Nanjing Massacre were completely over, Li Zijian and his mother dared to return to their hometown and prepared to find out if there were other people in the family living.
As a result, my family was not found, and Li Zijian instead witnessed a series of tragic scenes that he would never forget in his life.
The entire Nanjing city was almost destroyed in ruins, with corpses thrown away everywhere, and and some helpless children cried among the charred buildings.
It was not an exaggeration to call it "Purgatory on Earth" in Nanjing at that time. Li Zijian could only look at everything in front of him powerlessly. The two lines of clear tears flowing out of his eyes were his silent accusations of these crimes.
Li Zijian stayed in Nanjing for more than ten days in a row. Unfortunately, he could not find his father's corpse, but he recorded everything with his eyes.
He hated that he had not had a camera at that time so that the whole world could see what ugly face the Japanese invaders had and what kind of evil sins they committed in China.
Fortunately, he still has his own brush, and soon recorded what he saw and heard through pictures. The oil painting called the Nanjing Massacre shocked the whole world.
Although the Japanese government has been vigorously denied their sins over the years, history has never lacked witnesses and history never lies.
Maybe they can deny history openly, maybe they can openly tamper with history textbooks, but they will never wash away the sins that Japanese soldiers have committed.
In order to beautify Japan's war behavior, the Japanese government called all this a "justice dispute" and said that everything they did was to rebuild order in the Asian region.
In their history books, the demons with blood on their hands transformed into heroes of the nation and the country.
What's even more terrifying is that many Japanese people have accepted the false history fabricated by the Japanese government without reservation, and many people have no idea that their ancestors once committed heinous crimes in Nanjing.
When talking about related historical issues, a Japanese netizen told such a story. His grandfather was a Japanese soldier who had participated in the war of aggression against China, but how did his grandfather describe that history?
"The war that took place in Nanjing was the result of the Chinese provoking the Japanese army." With this sentence, the former Japanese invaders cleared all their guilt.
However, those invaders did not mention the inhuman treatment suffered by the people of Nanjing, and even publicly slandered that history was vilified by our China.
But can real history be changed by just a few words that reverse the black and white? The answer is no.
The Massacre is as evidenced by the mountain. The war criminals denounced the story of
Zhang Chunru in public. I believe many people have heard of it. She is the author of the book "Nanjing Massacre" and is a Chinese woman full of justice and conscience.
Although she was born in the United States since childhood, her love for her motherland has not decreased at all.
Zhang Chunru's father was the famous anti-Japanese general Zhang Tiejun, so she had heard many stories about fighting against the Japanese invaders from her father since she was a child.
Of course, he also heard his parents tell some details about the Nanjing Massacre tragedy. The Japanese invasion of China made her anger unable to calm down for a long time.
But as Zhang Chunru grew up, she began to realize a more terrible phenomenon, and many Japanese people did not know the historical truth about the Nanjing Massacre at all.
Under the deliberate beautification of the Japanese government, the Japanese invaders turned into the embodiment of justice. They ignored the truth of history and fooled the people in the country.
Zhang Chunru, who hates evil, cannot accept this. She feels that it is necessary for everyone in the world to know the truth about the Nanjing Massacre.
After that, she began to continuously collect information about the Nanjing Massacre, and visited those who had experienced that disaster, and mastered a lot of real and accurate information.
Three years later, "Nanjing Massacre" was born, and the ugly behavior of the Japanese invaders in China was once again revealed to the world. As soon as the book was released in Japan, it immediately caused an uproar, and many people expressed their disbelief.
Because the history Zhang Chunru tells conflicts with what is deeply rooted in their minds, they didn't know for a moment whether to believe in their own government or those unacceptable historical truths.
"Nanjing Massacre" not only presents the historical truth, but also makes the right-wing Japanese members feel afraid, fearing that the "lie" they have worked hard for many years will be destroyed.
How could those hypocritical Japanese politicians sit and watch this situation occur? and they immediately launched a fierce counterattack, threatening and slandering Zhang Chunru, the author of "Nanjing Massacre".
Later, under the continuous instigation of some fanatical right-wing elements, the personal safety of Zhang Chunru and his family was greatly threatened.
In order to consider the safety of his family, Zhang Chunru finally chose to commit suicide. The blood debts borne by the Japanese were added, and their behavior became increasingly unforgivable.
But none of this can change the real history. The more angry those right-wing elements are, the more they show their inner timidity.
Although Zhang Chunru unfortunately paid the price of her life, her feat was like a sharp knife, stabbing hard on the only remaining conscience of the Japanese.
Shortly after Zhang Chunru's death, some Japanese veterans who had participated in the Nanjing Massacre stood up and spoke, and they took the initiative to admit the crimes they had committed.
They told how the Japanese army strictly guarded Nanjing City at that time, how they burned, killed, looted, and brutally killed those unarmed people.
Every evil deeds are weeping blood; blood is deep and hatred is irreconcilable. During the period when the Japanese army captured Nanjing City, whenever the Japanese army met someone who dared to resist, they either shot or stabbed those people to death with bayonets.
Later, the Japanese army began to slowly reveal their true faces. They took off their surface human cloaks and showed their beastly nature.
In order to train the courage of the new recruits, they tied the living people to the pillars as living targets, and then let the new recruits slaughter them wantonly. What makes people feel even more angry and heartbreaking is that at that time, two Japanese officers also held a "killing competition" and bet on who can kill 100 people first. Such behaviors as
can no longer be described as demons, but how did the Japanese view this incident at that time?
They actually publicly published the evil deeds of these two Japanese officers in newspapers for viewing by all the people in China, as if they were showing off a very glorious behavior.
Is there even a trace of conscience in such Japanese people? Two murderous demons actually became heroes in the eyes of the people.
Let’s not talk about the bad nature of a nation, because there are still some sober people among the Japanese, but how can we easily forgive their sins?
Tojo Hideki is a Class A war criminal among the Japanese invaders. He once publicly expressed his view when he was being tried: "If the Chinese do not resist, there would be no massacre in Nanjing."
When the Japanese can say such words openly, it means that they will never be able to recognize their mistakes and will never express their due repentance for their crimes.
During the period when the Japanese army occupied Nanjing, some kind foreigners took the initiative to take in some Chinese military and civilians, but some of them still failed to escape the Japanese army's clutches.
The Japanese army broke into the refugee camps and regarded all men with calluses on their hands as Chinese soldiers, and then took them away for a collective massacre.
Class A war criminals were hanged by to comfort the undead in the sky
We now publicly claim that the death toll of the Nanjing Massacre is 300,000, but in fact, the number of Chinese military and civilians brutally killed by Japanese invaders is far more than this number.
At that time, the city of Nanjing was covered with charred corpses, and there were even so many corpses that the Japanese army could not bury them. They could only choose to set fire to destroy the evidence of crime.
outside Nanjing city 3 Yangtze River also floated in The inhuman Japanese soldiers directly turned Nanjing into a purgatory on earth. The scene of corpses everywhere is difficult to express in words.
But even in the face of mountain of ironclad evidence, those war criminals can still shamelessly excuse their crimes. We have to be amazed at the thickness of those people's faces.
A more terrifying phenomenon is that not only those war criminals deny the crime, but even those local Japanese officials are doing the same.
The Japanese Prime Minister's repeated visits to the Yasukuni Shrine are the best examples, They have never really reflected on the sins committed by the Japanese invaders of China, and they have no intention of apologizing for it.
is actually not difficult to see that the militarist ideas in Japan are still very active, and they always have that kind of evil idea.
As we all know, the Yasukuni Shrine worships many tablets of Class A war criminals during the World War II period, and respect for them is a blasphemy to history.
However, many senior officials of the Japanese government are still "happy" about this, not afraid of public opinion in the outside world, nor do they mind that their actions will cause secondary harm to the Chinese people.
How can we forget our history in the face of such a Japanese approach? Isn’t that a betrayal of our ancestors?
and in order to remind the Chinese people not to forget history and always keep in mind the mission of revitalizing China, our government set December 13 of each year as the Nanjing Massacre Memorial Day.
On this day, the alarm bell rang and the entire Nanjing city fell into a solemn and sad atmosphere.
In fact, this approach is to warn those Japanese that We Chinese people will never forget that humiliating history and will never forgive those sinful Japanese.
Although we can no longer save the lives of those martyrs, we will make those who are stained with blood in their hands pay the price they deserve. The Tokyo Trial is the best proof.
In order to excuse one's own crimes, many Japanese war criminals have committed a lot of perjury in court, trying to interfere with the judgment of those foreign judges.
However, in the face of the ironclad evidence collected by our representatives, their defense seemed so pale and powerless, and their behavior seemed so ridiculous.
Every Japanese war criminal was disgraced in court. Our firmness and decisiveness exceeded their expectations, and they quickly lost in court.
In addition to convicting the notorious Class A war criminals , our country's representatives also caught many "little fish and shrimps", who also committed countless crimes against the Chinese military and civilians.
The most representative ones are Noda Tsuka and Mukai Toshiaki . They are the initiators of the "killing competition" we mentioned earlier.
When the arrest warrant for the two was issued, they had already left the army and turned into civilians and hid among the crowd.
But we will not let go of these two murderous demons. After half a year of difficult search, we finally found two murderous demons who have transformed into vendors in Saitama Prefecture in Japan!
They can start their lives again, but is that they cannot wash away the sins they have on their bodies, and they cannot escape the justice of anyway.
After Noda and Toshiaki Mukai were arrested, they were quickly extradited to China and were quickly executed.
With two gunshots, the two sinful lives ended, which was also a comfort to the dead souls. What’s ridiculous is that just before the execution, one of them actually had incontinence. Let’s see
! They are so afraid of death, but they are not ruthless when they harm others' lives. Such people are a shame for Japan. Maybe the Japanese don’t think so. Maybe this is the real face of many of them under the hypocritical appearance.
However, justice is often not so timely. The Tokyo trial lasted for two and a half years, and finally convicted 28 Class A war criminals.During this period, because some other countries had abolished the death penalty for and , those Class A war criminals once escaped the fate of the death penalty.
May our country's judge Mei Ruyu argued with reason and insisted on sentenceing those who died, because only in this way can an explanation be given to those who died.
Finally, with Mei Ruyu's generous speech, seven Class A war criminals were hanged.
After struggling on the gallows for a while, the people went to hell in pain, and then their bodies turned into black smoke in the blazing fire. The ending like
is really a pleasure, and only we Chinese can understand the joy, because we have suffered the most, suffered the most pain, and had the most say.
We Chinese people have never been revengeists who advocate war, but we will never forget the blood debts owed by Japanese soldiers, because forgetting means being betrayed!
We are not qualified to forgive anyone for our ancestors, and we cannot lose our spirit because of a peaceful and comfortable life. The road to great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has just begun.
Today our country is prosperous and stable, but the international situation is not stable, and there are still some frictions that often break out on many issues involving territorial sovereignty.
Only when we always remember that humiliating and profound history and continue to make achievements in major high-end fields can our country become stronger and stronger.
Only then can we have the ability to deal with all possible crises and always be invincible.
