During WW2 and inspired by its ambitious and wicked emperor,
Japanese turned themselves into animals to conquer its neighbors.
The shame of the 'The
Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere' and 'Comfort Women'. Imagine
captured young women are forced to be sex slaves for their army. What kind of
monster did the Japanese military become? Is it worse than the German crimes of
WW2? At least they did not rape openly.
There was a contest in which two
Japanese generals competed over how many Chinese heads could be chopped off
with their swords. After beheading over a hundred, one competitor said that it
was not fair as his blade was dull. They continued the utter madness by
restarting the competition all over again! Was there any conscience?
These soldiers are war criminals. They killed innocent people by tossing babies, looting and raping. They killed anyone taking pictures. Many of these criminals are being paid respect by high officials in the 'shrines'. It is as disguising as paying homage to Hitler. These war criminals should be tracked down and executed.
Instead, they bragged about how they raped young girls as
described by these soldiers without remorse in the documentary Nanjing, which
you can rent from Netflix. Another teenager 'wanted' to be raped to save her
grandpa.
I suggest that one of the atomic bombs should have been dropped on the Imperial Palace in Kyoto and the other one on the 'shrine' instead of killing innocent citizens at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Even this punishment would be too small for such crimes. The Tsunami must be formed by the tears of the victims crying for justice into a killer wave. I feel sorry for the current generation who has to suffer and who has nothing to do with WW2.
Japan today still has
very strong navy in disguise. Do not be fooled by them again, or we have not
learned our lessons.
The ignorant Japanese mayor said Nanjing Massacre never happened. Japanese, young and old, please use Wikipedia and search for 'Nanjing Massacre' or read the late Iris Chang's book which the documentary firm was based on.

We should not spread hatred especially from one generation to another. However, if we do not learn from history, most likely we will repeat history. I wrote this blog hoping to give a voice to the millions of victims who never have a voice.

Afterthoughts.
1. This
chapter and the last one illustrate that China is a victim instead of an
oppressor to the world as wrongfully depicted by the West.
2. Most
Chinese would agree with me. Actually most human beings should. I hope the
Japanese especially this generation would find out more about the history not
from their distorted text book censored by their government. I hope at least
one Japanese would respond to my post. We can never learn if we just sweep any
shameful history under the rug.
Let bygones be bygones after we reflect on history. I adore Japanese’s
high education, hard work ethics, public behavior (especially on how they react
to the disaster), culture and food. I have nothing against a nation but how the
war was started, the war criminals and how the Japanese want to ignore history.
4. I
do not blame some old folks whose families have been killed by Japanese for not
buying any Japanese products for life. Again, we should not pass our hatred to
the next generation.
5. They
had sex tours for Japanese males to countries in Asia. The Japanese women seem
not to object at least openly. Is this part of your shameful culture or better
that silence is golden? Wake up and fight for your rights.
I have never met most of the following folks who commented
to my post.

TonyP4 has a right to complain @
any perceived wrong done.
I support
TonyP4 point considering the Japanese still maintain that they did nothing
wrong. Unlike Germany that's paid perhaps $1 trillion in compensation to
holocaust survivors, apologized and built monuments to victims, the Japanese
cosseted by the yanks due to anger at the communist victory over the U.S.
backed Chiang Kai Shek, U.S. hatred of Communist China and let the Japanese off
the hook on all counts.
Those people
are still paying homage to their Class A war criminals. Should the Germans
worship Hitler, Goebbels?
Justice shows
leniency for a contrite person. If Japan doesn't think that it did anything
wrong, might it not repeat those actions again?

One thing that I want to point out is that war is a terrible thing that would turn people into more than an animal.
I have been to Poland, Cambodia, Vietnam, France etc. (visiting those they called historical places- in reality, people that should not die there). In particular, I visited the 731 Chemical Unit in Shangtung 12 years ago. Ever since that day, I do not own any Japanese product except now I still have a Sony TV that was 18 years old.
Do you know that the Emperor of Japan was spared from prosecution by General MacArthur as a war criminal on condition that he handed in the secret research papers that they performed in China? That is the reason why Japan and the U.S. are the leading countries in cosmetic surgeries and skin products. So next time, ladies, if you put on your makeup, please consider that the blood of the Chinese people may play part of it to glorify your appearance.
I have this “love hate relationship” of the Japanese people. I guess it is quite difficult to define. I love their patriotism, judo, cleanliness, royalties, but not their savage way towards Chinese.
It is however sad for us that we had a corrupt government (if we had one), and everybody was so selfish and cared only for their wealth (Tony: the poor cannot afford to be nice and patriotic?).
I can never imagine that a troop of 10,000 Japanese marines that can march to Nanking; and 5,000 British marines could march to Beijing during the Opium War (Tony: at the end of Ming, the farmer army marched to Beijing with 1 million soldiers).
Those are the national disgrace that can never, never be repeated. We learned from history, and trust that the leaders will never follow the previous mistakes that we made. Most importantly, it should be PEACE that will harmonize everything.

“Cover up
As the war came to an end, the Japanese surrendered and the U.S. moved in to run the country’s affairs, the officers and scientists responsible were never brought to trial.
The U.S. military got wind of what the Japanese had been working on and immediately grasped two points: They would never be able to conduct that type of human experimentation at home. And that the research had to be kept from the Russians at all costs.
So the U.S. cut the Japanese officers a deal: Immunity from prosecution for war crimes in return for experimental data. “
