Chapter 39 postscript author's words

I have already written a lot about the "Nanjing Massacre", and it seems that I can close my pen.However, I couldn't calm down.Finally, I would like to say that how the younger generation in China view the "Nanjing Massacre" incident, and how to establish a correct outlook on patriotism, outlook on life, and values, is an issue that requires our special attention.It has to be said that our young generation is very smart, capable, and has a strong sense of discrimination.But they also have many problems. For example, they are not as unforgettable and persistent in history as the older generation, especially those who experienced it firsthand. This requires continuous strengthening of education.The National Memorial Day for the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre, which is now established by the country through legislation, is a very good form.But this is not enough.The silence and mourning in a ceremony can only be touched and touched instantly in the big environment and the big atmosphere. Only through in-depth understanding, calm thinking, and subtle indoctrination can ideas and concepts be formed, beliefs and wills be formed, and from From the experience and lessons of history, we can understand various profound issues at the individual level, the national level, and the level of the times, and build beliefs and firm opinions in a person's heart.

The younger generation in China needs to earnestly make up for these lessons on historical issues.The reason why I introduced a speech given by General MacArthur at West Point Military Academy in the previous article is because I admire him for speaking these six words to young Americans: duty-honor-country. Chinese young people should also keep the content of these six characters in their hearts and put them into noble actions in a Chinese way and understanding. In today's peaceful and prosperous world, such headlines and questions seem a little sensational, or considered nonsense.However, everyone should be clear that war does not depend on our will.The fate of a country and the fate of its people may actually change in an instant against the will of the people.

We use "March of the Volunteers" as the national anthem to remind us that "the Chinese nation has reached the most dangerous moment"-such dangerous moments happen every day, and everyone may encounter them... At that moment, what should we do? Thinking about the tragedy of the "Nanjing Massacre", we will know what to do and what to prepare for now. A strong China today does not necessarily represent eternal prosperity. What can we prepare to prevent a new "Nanjing Massacre"? The author presents the history of the "Nanjing Massacre" to Chinese people again in the form of a panoramic documentary, with the purpose of the above few sentences.

Regarding the world, I also have a saying: We live together on the earth, and the systems and values ​​can be different, but we all love peace, look forward to happiness, and have love, so why can’t we live in peace forever, treat each other with love, and each bloom our own country and The bright side of the nation will make our earth no longer bleed, and there will be no more wars! It seems that there is still something to say.Yes, peace is our eternal expectation, but war has not disappeared with the development of human beings.That's why we are particularly concerned about not letting the tragedy of history repeat itself.Old traumas exist after all, the key is how we deal with them.Countries that create wars and cause trauma to others should undoubtedly curb hegemony, suppress desires, admit mistakes, reshape benevolence, and abandon evil.And for countries and their people who have suffered from wars and suffered from old wounds, it is even more important to "never forget the past and serve as a guide for the future".

Peace is our eternal pursuit. Keeping in mind the lessons of history and preventing tragedies from happening again is our unshakable faith. I hope that my children and grandchildren will not have to rewrite "Nanjing Massacre", but will sing it as a sad and exciting old song from generation to generation...
