Japan has a very ambiguous attitude towards foreign expansion and aggression from the 19th to 20th centuries.
It’s not that they deny the “existence of war,” but that they are vaguely certain of the “cruel war” in the past.
To give a simple example, in different occasions and books in Japan, the context of "the word 'invasion' in Japanese" is relatively ambiguous and vague.
The Chinese of "aggression plan" in Japanese is (strategic aggression), "aggression図る" The Chinese word is "planning invasion", and the direction is very clear.
But you add to this paragraph " invades (しんこう) "Muse" becomes " plans to invade ". Similarly, " plans to invade (しんこう)図る" in Chinese means " plans to invade ".
But if you change " invade to attack ", the meaning of "attack (しんこう)図る" becomes " plans to attack ", "in and out (しんしゅつ)図る" ” becomes “ planning in and out ”.
If you put it in the Chinese context and understand it, it is not difficult to find that " invasion" and "planning" are completely two different things,
and "plot and 図る" in Japanese have completely two meanings.
‘目る’ has a relative derogatory meaning, means to deceive, , but ‘図る’ is not, This word is relatively neutral. In Chinese, "为人" can be translated as "事を図るは人にあり" in Japanese.
To put it bluntly, we Chinese people’s understanding of the word “invasion” is that it means infringement and plunder; all infringements on the territory and sovereignty of other countries and the plunder and enslavement of other countries’ people.
But in the eyes of the Japanese, "invasion" is a neutral word. They launched a war, but the war was planned, not invaded.
This is the same as the Japanese tampering with the "Nanjing Massacre" into the "Nanjing Incident" in the 2001 "New History Textbook".
In the "New History Textbook", the Japanese author wrote: " At that time, the Japanese army caused many casualties among the people. This was the Nanjing Incident", but he did not mention the word "massacre".
As a result of the "Nanjing Massacre", the 2001 edition of the Japanese textbook wrote: Regarding the actual situation of the incident, many doubts were found in the data, and there are various opinions, which are still being debated.
This is a word game. Many so-called "Legislatives" in China have actually fallen into this kind of 'planning' trap game.
Many Domestic Legitimates believe that The Sino-Japanese War was launched by Japan against the Qing Empire. A civilized war, because only by fighting this war can we successfully turn over and become a major civilized country.
There are many people who believe that World War II was launched because Japan was facing a resource crisis, so the emperor was right, Japan was right, and Japan’s constitutional amendment was right, but in fact this is the theory of ‘victim consciousness’.
When these reasonable guests expressed their sympathy, they also implicitly affirmed that Japan's war was a war of self-preservation and self-defense. This was a disguised attempt to whitewash the invaders. We don't need such reasonable customers.
In 1995, the 66-year-old Japanese scholar Michio Tsuda wrote in "The Nanjing Massacre and the Mental Structure of the Japanese":
He disagreed that the responsibility for the war was only borne by "a small group of militarists," and that the "Japanese masses" were also victims. ' popular saying".
In his book, he asked: Why do Japanese common people such as 'kind workers', 'fathers of ordinary families' and 'people with good etiquette' in daily life become so cruel when they arrive on the Chinese battlefield?
The deconstruction given by Mr. Michio Tsuda is: the calculating 'self-interest' of the Japanese people' nihilism ' and the special 'spiritual structure' mixed with 'emperor worship' and 'contemptuous emotions', emphasizing the Japanese people's wartime He is not so much a 'victim' as he is a promoter of the war, so he has an unshirkable responsibility.
I am not talking about this to incite hatred. In fact, you see, Britain and France have been fighting for more than a thousand years.
As a result, in order to fight against Nazi Germany, the two still stood together. China and Japan There was also a honeymoon period between countries.
British Disraeli has a famous saying, which actually explains the truth of foreign affairs and politics around the world: " The British Empire has no permanent enemies or permanent friends, only eternal interests ."
At the national level On the other hand, when we are hostile, we should pick up the blood feud; when we are friendly, we should emphasize mutual benefit.
On a personal level, the people are the masters of the country. What we need is not temporary emotions, but persistent remembrance.
No matter how China-Japan relations change, we must remember the history that has happened verbatim.
Remember 1937, remember the Nanjing Massacre, remember the blood debt owed to us by Japanese militarism, and remember our national calamity.
This is not to humiliate and form a resistance club when it happens again, but to tell us what to do.
Here I have also prepared 5 documentaries related to the "Nanjing Massacre". If each documentary is remade into a movie, it will be full of ups and downs. If it is made into a movie, it will be a hit. Of course, I also hope that everyone will become familiar with history and remember history in the film.
The first documentary "Nanking"
was directed by American director Bill Guttentag. Although
is an American director, during the filming, he interviewed Nanjing survivors, witnesses, as well as foreign missionaries, doctors, reporters in Nanjing, and surviving Chinese.
also conducted interviews with Japanese veterans who participated in the Nanjing Massacre, collected precious letters, diaries, photos, and video materials, and also found and copied a large amount of materials in the China Memorial Hall.
is also an American director, and the documentary also has flaws.
In this documentary, director focuses on the rescue of 250,000 people by eight foreigners. He uses the glory of humanity in the eight foreigners to satirize the massacre and atrocities of the entire Japanese army.
It is undeniable that these eight foreign friends who save the world in a foreign country are real, but in terms of shaping the theme, the director amplified the plot of the eight friends who established a safe zone to save 250,000 people, with a strong sense of Christianity and American ideological color.
Overall, this documentary is relatively objective and plain, reflecting the history of the Nanjing Massacre by Japan's invasion of China.
The clips and historical facts are relatively real and suitable for popular science.
"Zhang Chunru - Nanjing Massacre"
The screenwriter of this documentary is Zhang Chunru, and its significance goes far beyond just making a documentary.
For the Chinese, the Nanjing Massacre is a well-known pain and national disaster, but for the English-speaking world where Zhang Chunru lived at that time, this period of history is being forgotten by the world.
In Zhang Chunru’s own words, “ I went to the library to try to learn more details, but I couldn’t find any information related to this. In our school library, in the city’s public library, in my I can't find anything about it in my world history textbooks. What's even worse is that my teachers don't know anything about it.”
Subsequently, Zhang Chunru began to collect information, collecting news, intelligence, diaries of American personnel stationed abroad, news reports, photos, video footnotes, and the testimonies of some surviving Chinese people.
The information we see now is Zhang Chunru found the information that was not disclosed at the time, the most important of which was the diary of John Rabe, which had never been disclosed before 1996. 2
On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the Nanjing Massacre in 1997, Zhang Chunru finally released her "Atrocities of Nanjing"
This is the first time Zhang Chunru used . English exposed the eight-week massacre in Nanjing, China, in the English-speaking world.
Its appearance prevented history from being forgotten. The American "Washington Post" columnist George Will said: "Thanks to Chang Chun-ru's book, The 'Second Nanjing Massacre' ended. "
The suffering of a nation rests on the shoulders of a weak woman, and she is tortured by misery and humiliation.
People have stayed in the darkness for a long time, and they themselves have become a part of the darkness. Zhang Chunru risked her life and dived into the bottomless darkness of human nature. ,
She ended up taking her life, but it left many people who were insulted and hurt in the end. Yu has not been forgotten, she is great.
The third part of "1937·Nanjing Memory "
This documentary is produced by CCTV and Jiangsu Radio and Television Station, and its layout is based on the reflection of the Nanjing Massacre.
Chun-ru Chang, American director Bill Guttentag, Zhu Chengshan, director of the Memorial Hall of the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre by the Japanese Invaders, Chinese director in Japan Li Ying, Matsuoka Tamaki, a Japanese friend, and Bu Ping, former director of the Institute of Modern History of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Perspective.
The audience sees the memory of Nanjing from their perspective
The fourth part "Survivors - Witnessing Nanjing 1937"
Compared with the previous ones, this "Survivor - Witnessing Nanjing 1937" is a short five-episode memoir of the life of five survivors of the Nanjing Massacre through popular science history. camp It created a tense atmosphere, but from the survivors' word-for-word narrations,
saw the gloom of the time, saw the fragmentation of tens of millions of families, the epitome of the Nanjing Massacre in 1937, these memories are the scars of these old people's lives, but They still have the courage to tell.
The pain of history can never be healed. What we have to do is to face the pain directly, not turn around, remember the history, and never forget the national calamity.
Part 5 "The Truth about the Fall of Nanjing in 1937"
and the previous 4. The difference is that on December 10, 2007, Phoenix TV html The documentary "The Truth about the Fall of Nanjing in 1937" launched by 7's Phoenix Vision is even more shocking.
It is the first domestic documentary to comprehensively explain the events before and after the "Fall of Nanjing". It includes witnesses and witnesses. The perpetrator's memories, letters, military combat orders...
In this documentary, many images appear on TV for the first time. There are also many photos that have not appeared in books. Every flash of All the photos I’ve seen represent a kind of heartache.
fall, massacre, rescue, trial, remember. History is so real and tragic that we cannot forget it.
We must remember this suffering, not only for the 300,000 people who died in the Nanjing Massacre, not for the heroes who sacrificed their lives in the fight against the Japanese militarist invaders, but also for the Chinese nation. , but also for mankind to remember.
It has long gone beyond the discussion of peace or not. It is the watershed between civilization and barbarism. Those who forget the past are destined to repeat it.
