Chapter 68 At the end, a memorial stands on the bones

This is a coffin-like large-scale memorial venue. On the stone wall in front of the solemn and heavy coffin, there is a dignified name of the museum. A row of green pines and cypresses under the name of the museum express people's grief, symbolizing that the spirits of the victims will last forever. Live in the hearts of future generations. Slowly walking up the stone steps, a tragic scene after the massacre will immediately catch the eyes of the visitors: bones in the wild, no grass growing, ruined walls, dead trees and jackdaws... beside the dead trees that were set on fire by the invaders , stands a great mother with open arms calling for her children, who would rather die than surrender...

The scene in front of them immediately brought the visitors back to the tragic era of blood and rain. Continue along the cement passage, and you will slowly walk towards you with monuments to the victims of the massacre. Every stone will tell you a tragic and cruel story of the massacre that happened yesterday, which will make your heart tremble and your blood burn. . In the atmosphere of grief and indignation, through the underground passage full of bones, I gradually came to the exhibition room of the memorial hall. Countless words, pictures and real objects, and the scenes of intertwining blood and fire, are displayed in groups before people: on the street. The dead in all directions, the houses that collapsed in the fire, the endless corpses on the river beach, the woman with a broken stomach on the side of the road, the girl who was gang-raped in pain, the Japanese soldiers who were robbed and carried their belongings...

The "Nanjing Massacre" survivors Xia Shuqin, Li Xiuying, Wu Changde, Chen Degui... came here, and they used their personal experiences as survivors to tell what happened yesterday, when the Japanese invaders wantonly massacred peaceful people A bloody past. International friends Rabe, Mech, Vautrin, and Wilson from the Nanjing Safety Zone came here. They stood on the standpoint of justice and humanity, and told the shame of the Japanese invaders who desecrated human civilization and dignity that they witnessed with their own eyes. story. The judges Mei Ruao, Xiang Zhejun, Shi Meiyu, and Ye Zaizeng who tried Japanese war criminals came here. They used their personal experiences to tell the thrilling story of how they fought to the death to send the culprit of the "Nanjing Massacre" to the guillotine. course.

Facing the overthrow of the case by the right-wing forces in Japan, the military judge Ye Zaizen raised the gavel of justice and solemnly declared: "I can testify to history!" However, human society is always advancing tortuously in the constant struggle and contest between justice and evil.Since the 1980s, a countercurrent that has been secretly rising in Japan's ruling and opposition parties has gradually spread openly, and even flooded.Incidents of tampering with textbooks, incidents of visiting the Yasukuni Shrine, incidents of Toshiro's lawsuit... emerge one after another.

In the 21st century, Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi visited the Yasukuni Shrine, which enshrines the spiritual tablets of Class-A war criminals, year after year.Driven, supported, and condoned by high-level Japanese people, the activities of Japanese right-wing forces have become increasingly rampant and unscrupulous.They even publicly built the "Jihad Monument" of Greater East Asia and held a grand "Jihad Sacrifice" of Greater East Asia. "False witnesses", the Nanjing Massacre is a "fiction", an "illusion", and "the biggest lie of the 20th century"...

These are things we cannot promise. The anti-union team members who had eaten bark and grass roots in the forest of Changbai Mountain would not agree. The survivors who escaped from the "Nanjing Massacre" in the blood river corpse mountain would not agree. The soldiers of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, who had escaped death, would not agree. We have not forgotten, and we will never forget, how much pain and disaster the war of aggression launched by the Japanese fascist militarism brought to our country and nation! We don't forget the past, not to entangle yesterday's grievances, but to cherish the mirror of today's reflection on history;

We remember history, not to repeat past hatred, but to create future peace! Before the end of the Second World War, the Italian people acted spontaneously and sent the fascist leader Mussolini to the guillotine; After the end of World War II, there was an overwhelming consensus in Germany: "The future of the country cannot be guaranteed without public reflection and action on the horrific acts of 1933-1945." The German government enacted laws strictly against the revival of Nazism. German Chancellor Brandt came to Auschwitz concentration camp and knelt down in front of the Memorial to the Jewish Victims to apologize.

And our neighboring country, Japan, lacks a clear understanding and sufficient reflection on the war of aggression launched by them so far! Every year on December 13th, the sirens and whistles sounded in Nanjing, and the Peace Bell rang solemnly and heavily in the Memorial Hall of the Victims in the Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders. It was the 300,000 victims calling for justice!Call for peace! In order to prevent the tragedy of the Nanjing Massacre from happening again, and to prevent the evil war from happening again, the Memorial Hall of the Victims in the Nanjing Massacre by the Japanese Invaders stands majestically, nailing the crimes of the fascist demons to the pillar of shame for a long time!

Perhaps, there will be a day in the future when high-level Japanese leaders will come to the Memorial Hall of the Victims in the Nanjing Massacre to express their sincere repentance and sincere apology! Perhaps, there will be a day in the future when high-level leaders of China and Japan will come to the Nanjing Massacre Victims Memorial Hall to mourn the victims of the massacre, wish the people of China and Japan live in friendship from generation to generation, and pray for the eternal peace of the human world. Happiness lives on! This will open a new page in the history of Sino-Japanese relations!

This will write a beautiful new chapter of peaceful coexistence in the human world! No matter how the situation of human society changes, no matter how twists and turns the history of the world is going forward, peace will eventually come, because human society will eventually move toward fraternity, peace, and great unity. We look forward to such a day coming soon; We believe that such a day will eventually come.
