68th Anniversary of Nanjing Massacre

lulululu

刚在CT上做了介绍和宣传：

On December 13, 1937, my hometown Nanjing fell into the hands of invading Japanese troops who launched a ruthless masscre, known as Nanjing Massacre, during Nanjing Massacre more than 300,000 Chinese were killed.

I think it is a good idea to let more people aware of what happened and what
is happening between China and Japan.

Thank you for your time and understanding.

Listed below are some reasons for our past protests against Japanese Government:

-whitewashing history in their textbooks
(Imagine Germany teaches its youth it was forced to occupy Europe in WWII)

-worshipping shrines of war criminals
(They honor the KILLERs, who honors the victims?. PLEASE STAND IN OUR SHOES: What if German enshrined Hitler?)

-never saying a sorry to other countries
(We don't accept "Sympathy" as apology!)

-They call the MASSACRE of 300,000 Nanjing civilians an INCIDENT!
(The 300,000 massacred can no longer speak, WE CAN!)


-some Japanese do believe SEX SLAVES are VOLUNTEERS.
(Sex Slaves =x= Volunteers?)



I found some objective critic's reviews on this topic and several related WebPages.

First, this is a very comprehensively and objectively compiled website
collecting Japan's war crimes and some hot issues between Japan and its
neighbours (if you scroll down the webpage, you will find abundant
information, such as book intro and texts written by independent media and by
Japanese scholars)

I read the books and pictures years before.  It is very disturbing.  
It worths the effort to overcome our emotions to hike
through the trail of our history.

Although I do not advocate racial discrimination,
it is our history.  We should remember that.  
My mom and dad and a lot of Chinese were suffered in
certain degree during the war/invasion.

At least, we should let the younger generation understand
this part of history.

Absolutely correct. Support!

Actually a few Japanese I met are not bad at all. But I still dislike the nation or their government for what they've done and what they are doing to conceal the history.
