The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China

"Japan is a country that I admire very much in some aspects."

Zhou Hexuan did not go all the way, otherwise he would appear too low-profile and might even make European students think he was too mean. After talking about the history of sending envoys to the Tang Dynasty, he also talked about the situation of the Meiji Restoration, and concluded: "The Japanese worship, learn from, and attach themselves to the strong. When China was strong, Japan sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty to China. This made Japan in the 7th century AD The first half of the page rose rapidly. When Europe and the United States became powerful, Japan immediately abandoned its former suzerainty and turned to the West, thus becoming one of the world's great powers. Such a country and nation are respectable, awesome, and worthy Food for thought.”

After saying this, the Japanese students immediately turned from anger to joy, obviously very satisfied with it.

"Everyone must have heard of a story, which comes from "Aesop's Fables." Zhou Hexuan suddenly sneered. "In the cold winter, the farmer found a frozen snake, so he put it in his arms to keep warm. etc. The snake fully regained consciousness, and it immediately killed the farmer in revenge. The Japanese archipelago is shaped like a long snake, and the Japanese nation is also like a poisonous snake mentally, with its natural aggressiveness."

The Japanese students' expressions immediately changed and they almost rushed to attack Zhou Hexuan.

"Why do I say Japan is a poisonous snake," Zhou Hexuan continued his analysis. "The fundamental purpose of Japan's sixth dispatch of Tang envoys to China is to repair Sino-Japanese relations. The previous five dispatches of Tang envoys greatly increased Japan's national power. Hesitantly chose to expand externally. Not only did it attack the Korean Peninsula, but it also directly went to war with the Tang Dynasty of China and was defeated at the mouth of the Baijiang River. This was the first time that Japan wanted to get involved in the East Asian continent. In the next more than a thousand years, as long as Japan was strong, If it rises, it will inevitably invade North Korea and China. And once it weakens, it will regard China as its suzerain state and take everything from it."

"The whole world now advocates pacifism, but Japan's national policy is exactly the opposite. They have been engaging in foreign aggression. In 1874, Japan invaded Taiwan, China; in 1879, Japan annexed the Ryukyu Kingdom and reorganized it into Okinawa Prefecture; in 1875, 1876, Japan invaded Korea five times in 1882, 1884, and 1894. Until now, Japan has completely occupied Taiwan, China, and the entire Korean Peninsula. They have also occupied four provinces in Northeast China, and are actively planning to occupy five provinces in North China. .”

"Japan's war of aggression is often accompanied by bloody massacres. Please take a look at the slideshow."

Slides have appeared very early. For example, Mr. Lu Xun recorded in detail his viewing of slides in Japan in the preface to "The Scream".

The light of the projector shone on the white curtain, and a tragic scene immediately appeared. Several Japanese soldiers were walking in a show of force, and the streets were filled with the corpses of Chinese people.

Zhou Hexuan recounted in a sad tone: "On November 21, 1894, the Japanese army captured Lushun in Liaodong, China, and immediately launched a massacre of four days and three nights. The British writer Allen described it like this: The Japanese soldiers chased the fleeing people with guns and and bayonet against everyone, and stabbed those who fell down fiercely. Walking on the street, there were dead bodies everywhere underfoot... It was dark, and the massacre was still going on... The ground was soaked with blood, and people were lying everywhere. There were corpses with mutilated limbs. Some small alleys were almost blocked by dead bodies... The Japanese army penetrated women's chests with bayonets, strung together children under two years old, and deliberately raised them high into the sky for people to watch..."

"New York Times reporter Kerryman described: I saw a man kneeling in front of a Japanese soldier, kowtowing and begging for his life. The Japanese soldier stabbed his head into the ground with a rifle-tailed knife in one hand, and cut off his head with a sword in the other hand... There was an old man. Kneeling in the street, the Japanese soldiers cut him into two pieces... A group of Japanese soldiers chased three people, one of whom was holding a baby... After one o'clock, I saw that the baby was dead, two people were knocked down by bullets, and the third person The father of the baby stumbled and fell, and the Japanese soldiers immediately grabbed his back. I stepped forward and pointed at the red cross on the white cloth on my arm to save him, but I could not stop him. The Japanese soldiers stabbed the fallen man's neck with a knife. He struck his head three or four times, then left, leaving him to linger on the ground waiting for death..."

"Mr. Holland, a doctor from Oxford University in the UK, once quoted Villiers' relevant records: They (Japanese soldiers) brutally massacred non-combatants, women and children starting from the second day after the war for four consecutive days. In this massacre , there were only 36 Chinese people left in the entire city who could survive, and these 36 people were left entirely to drive them to bury the corpses of their compatriots... One of the survivors said: When we came to collect the corpses, I saw some people being stabbed to death while sitting on chairs. What’s even worse is that there was a mother on a kang surrounded by four or five children, and the youngest was stabbed to death while still nursing..."

The slides were being shown one after another, showing scenes of massacre one after another. The bloody and brutal nature was unbearable to watch. Coupled with Zhou Hexuan's citations from literature reports and various on-site descriptions, there was a sudden silence in the classroom.

European professors and students, while feeling horrified, were extremely impressed by the brutality of the Japanese.

As for the Chinese students present, all of them had tears in their eyes, and Ma Jue even threw herself on the table and began to sip.

Several Japanese international students had cold hands and feet at this time and didn't know what to do. Because Zhou Hexuan not only had relevant articles by European and American writers, but also dozens of photos taken by European and American reporters, which could not be denied by them at all.

"Oh, God, that's terrible!"

"These damn savages."

"How come I haven't heard about this before?"

"..."

European students whispered that those photos would ruin their outlook.

Although European and American countries developed through bloody colonization, by the 20th century they had become civilized. They could understand millions of casualties in wars, but massacres of civilians were unforgivable.

Historically, even the great devil Hitler, after learning the news of the Nanjing Massacre, became furious and cursed Japan as a pig mate. Well, Hitler believed that Japan's killing methods were too bloody, and that bloodless methods such as poison gas and hanging should be used to make killing more civilized. Germany is a civilized nation.

Covered with a veil of civilization, when Europeans look at the massacre caused by Japan, they are completely unable to accept it.

Zhou Hexuan continued: "Why is the British report on the Lushun Massacre distorted? Because large news agencies including Central News Agency, Reuters and other large news agencies have been paid heavily by the Japanese. Whenever there are reports that are unfavorable to Japan, the two news agencies immediately help counter-propaganda. Britain The Central News Agency even said: "Except for legitimate killings during wartime, the Japanese army did not kill a single Chinese." According to this statement, did the tens of thousands of people in Lushun commit suicide? Today, since we are calling for peace , naturally we must restore the truth of history!”
