In fact, this is not the case. Before she wrote this book "Nanjing Massacre" , the atrocities committed by the Japanese invaders in Nanjing did not attract the attention of the people of the world. After the release of the book
, she promoted it in the United States and other Western developed countries. With her efforts from many parties, she wrote books and accepted interviews. Visit the survivors by yourself and publish the video online.
After her many efforts, the Nanjing Massacre, the atrocities committed by the Japanese army against the Chinese people, began to slowly be known to ordinary people in European and American countries. She spent a quarter of her life working to expose the atrocities of the Japanese army. Let’s get to know this righteous woman.
exposes the atrocities of the Japanese army and compiles the book "Nanjing Massacre" by Zhang Chunru
Zhang Chunru, the name of an ordinary Chinese woman. If she had not written a book about the Nanjing Massacre, she might not have known her much. But if it weren't for the Nanjing Massacre she wrote, perhaps the atrocities of the Japanese army would have been basically no one in Europe and the United States.
Zhang Chunrushi was born in New Jersey, USA in 1968. She is the second generation of Chinese. Her ancestral home is Huai'an, Jiangsu, which is the hometown of Premier Zhou. After graduating from university, Zhang Chunru was engaged in the news media industry.
In the early 1990s, Zhang Chunru began to write articles for " Chicago Tribune ", " New York Times " and Associated Press .
In the winter of 1995, Zhang Chunru completed the preliminary information preparation for the book "Nanjing Massacre: The Forgotten World War II Catastrophe" at the National Archives and the Library of Congress in Washington.
In order to better understand the truth of the facts, Zhang Chunru went to Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou and other cities in China for a six-week in-depth investigation.
After returning to the United States, he began to supplement various information and data of this book. Soon after, Zhang Chunru returned to China. This time she came to Nanjing, China, which is the place where the Nanjing Massacre occurred.
Here she has investigated and visited people who had experienced the Nanjing Massacre many times. Among them are women and men. Through communication with them, many Chinese women who were atroced by the Japanese army opened their hearts to her.
recalled the painful experiences of that year. These Japanese troops were burning, killing and looting in Nanjing. He commits all kinds of evil, rapes women, shoots men, burys the people alive, and even practices assassination techniques with the living Chinese people.
Zhang Chunru couldn't even listen to it herself, and she also got a lot of old photos from here. The content inside is unbearable to look at it, it is simply hell on earth. Zhang Chunru admitted herself that she couldn't bear to look at some photos of her now.
In 1997, Zhang Chunru published the English version of "Nanjing Massacre" in the United States. What needs to be emphasized here is. Zhang Chunru's Nanjing Massacre is in English, not in Chinese, and the book records in detail the various atrocities committed by the Japanese army in Nanjing. It also contains photos of that year, which is to let all readers know clearly that this is what really happened. The Chinese version in China is translated!
What is the significance of Zhang Chunru's book "Nanjing Massacre"?
Many people say that the Nanjing Massacre. It was originally the scars of us Chinese, so why do we still have to expose ourselves? But what we don’t know is. Before Zhang Chunru's Nanjing Massacre book was released, few people in Europe and the United States except China knew about the Nanjing Massacre.
When her book was released in the United States, it caused a stir soon. It was listed as a recommended reading by the New York Times that year and was called one of the best books of the year by book reviews. Within one month, it was ranked among the New York Times bestsellers rankings and was named the most popular book among readers of the year.
As more and more Americans know about the Nanjing Massacre, Zhang Chunru began to appear on TV shows, accept interviews, and give speeches everywhere.This would make it easier for the American people at that time to understand the atrocities committed by the Japanese army in Nanjing.
1998, Zhang Chunru connected with the then Japanese ambassador to the United States, Haruhiko Saito, on a TV program. Zhang Chunru said on the show that the Japanese government has never apologized for the Nanjing Massacre in any public occasion, nor has it admitted to the Nanjing Massacre.
The Japanese government just wanted to make this history disappear. Kurahiko Saito on the other end of the TV was speechless and could only make other explanations in a vague way.
Zhang Chunru's book Nanjing Massacre attracted a lot of attention in the West. Only at this time did the Western people realize that the Japanese army had committed such atrocities in Nanjing.
Zhang Chunru's Nanjing Massacre allowed more Western people to understand this history, and also provided good information and evidence for exposing the crimes of the Japanese army. If it weren't for Zhang Chunru's book, perhaps few people in Western countries knew about the Nanjing Massacre until now.
It was at this time that the right-wing forces of the Japanese army threatened to take revenge on Zhang Chunru.
suffered from severe depression, coupled with multiple threats, Zhang Chunru committed suicide.
Zhang Chunru's ending is tragic. When Zhang Chunru wrote the book Nanjing Massacre, she was already suffering. She has seen too many information and photos, which really complement history well.
But it is also a bloody fact. Some things are unacceptable to ordinary people, and the Japanese government has tried every means to publish the Nanjing Massacre.
Zhang Chunru often accepts various harassment and threats, not only letters, but also phone calls. She could only change her number frequently and did not dare to tell others about her home address, but she still couldn't change it. Various harassments often occur, and even people are following her on the street.
In this case, Zhang Chunru suffered from severe depression. The doctor told her husband that she needed to take medicine all year round, and the disease may not be cured for the rest of her life.
On November 9, 2004, Zhang Chunru shot himself in the car in various pains, ending her young life. We can imagine how much pressure Zhang Chunru suffered before committing suicide and the unreleased inner pain. Only then did you choose to end your life.
We should thank Zhang Chunru for her persistence and justice that made the atrocities of the Japanese army present to the people of European and American countries. This ironic fact can no longer be denied. May Zhang Chunru in heaven be no longer in pain and full of sunshine.
