Recently watched the movie "Eight Hundred", in the Battle of Songhu, the heroic deeds of the Chinese army and the Japanese army invading China for 4 days and 4 nights inspired us, we have not experienced the anti-Japanese resistance, but those heroes who are still glorious in their defeat are worthy of our eternal memory and respect.
However, after all, the movie is only a movie, just like "Eight Hundred", it is far from showing the real cruelty and tragedy completely, and the ferocity and viciousness of the Japanese are eight hundred times, or even a thousand times, than "Eight Hundred".
Every time I read the dictations of Japanese war criminals who invaded China, I have a creepy feeling, and a question arises in my heart: Does the evil of human nature have boundaries? Then, four words will immediately flash in my head: "Don't forget the national shame!" ”
Indeed, our ancestors have suffered countless hardships and been treated with humiliation countless times, but none of them has been as tragic as Japan's war of aggression against China, which has torn open the wounds of a nation and left behind the wounds of a nation. However, what makes people worry again and again is that when this wound no longer drips blood, when this wound turns into a scar, when this scar gradually loses its pain under the wear and tear of time, have we forgotten the tragic war and the wounds of the people who dripped blood?
We may not be able to stop today's people-to-people exchanges, economic promotion, mutual communication and win-win development between countries because of these past events, but we cannot "forget the scars and forget the pain" because of this, not forget the national shame, that is not only shame, but more is the groaning, crying, wailing, screaming under the ruthless killing of the Japanese soldiers, and finally the silence of death, how evil is human nature? The screams were evident, as was some of the personal statements made after the Japanese surrender, and this was really bloody.
At that time, the military photojournalists, because they did not have the same telephoto lenses as today, needed to follow the Japanese army in the forefront of shooting when shooting. Moreover, Japanese military reporters believe that only blood-stained battlefield photos are first-class reports, so often these photojournalists rush to the front like the Japanese troops fighting, just in order to be able to take the bloodiest shots to highlight the bravery of Japanese soldiers.
The photo we are going to introduce today is one published in the Yomiuri Shimbun on October 27, 1937. The photograph records the moment when a Japanese corporal soldier brandished a saber and rushed into the trenches of the Chinese army and slashed and killed a Chinese soldier during the Battle of Maqiaozhai in Dachang Town. The photo was taken by Yomiuri Shimbun photojournalist Zenyoshi Fujisawa.
However, when the photo was published in the newspaper, the figure of the Chinese soldier who was slashed and killed was erased, and the Japanese probably thought the scene was too bloody. The note in the photo in the Yomiuri Shimbun at the time was, "When the saber swung down the blood of the enemy, a Chinese was erased." ”
We must not forget that our ancestors were once slaughtered by the Japanese soldiers as if they were something, we must always remember these tragic histories, and with a strong country and a strong spirit, we must build a great wall of steel to resist the aggression of all animals.
