However, as we continued walking forward, we soon arrived at the shocking "mass graves" on display at the original site.
Piles of bones, accumulated into mountains.
Those bones include children who are only a few years old, teenagers, young people, old people, girls, women, old women, students, workers, and militiamen and soldiers who laid down their weapons...
There are still clear bullet holes on the bones. They are piled up in various postures, bending, leaning, sideways, crawling, bending, straight...
Some of their heads and bodies were separated, some had missing limbs, and some had skeletons in extremely twisted postures. Several or even dozens of them were stacked together, making it difficult to distinguish them from each other.
When we arrived at this place, everyone fell silent.
It was an indescribable pain that swallowed up everyone's hearts bit by bit.
Those once dark days with no end in sight were so real.
After coming out of the memorial hall, everyone walked along the gravel road towards the Memorial Square. The summer sun was still shining brightly in the sky. In front of them was a blue sky, white clouds and green trees, with gusts of breeze blowing in front of them.
Come.
The world outside the memorial hall is so peaceful and quiet.
At this moment, everyone seemed to have experienced a life and death test and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Su Daonian was already waiting for everyone to pass in the memorial square. When everyone was gone, he did not say a word and directly asked the staff to play mourning music. All members observed a three-minute silence to the compatriots who died in the Nanjing Massacre.
.
Three minutes later, Su Daonian said in a low voice: "Today's power-on ceremony ends here."
There was a small commotion in the crowd, but after the commotion, there was a long period of calm.
Indeed, they have seen with their own eyes the cruelty of the Japanese invaders and the misery of their compatriots who were killed. This is enough for them to understand the story behind the movie they want to make. This is already the best opening ceremony.
As soon as Su Daonian finished speaking, several staff members carried the prepared wreaths and placed them on both sides of the wall in front of the square with the 300,000 victims inscribed on the wall.
"Before disbanding, there is one more thing I want to say. This afternoon and tomorrow and the next two days, we will learn relevant knowledge about the Anti-Japanese War in the auditorium of the old campus of NTU. I hope everyone will attend on time. The specific time and place are,
It will be sent to the group at noon."
After Su Daonian added this sentence, everyone was dismissed.
Lin Jiu didn't speak during the whole journey. It wasn't until this moment, after Su Daonian said he was disbanded, that he turned around, looked at Su Mu with complex eyes and asked: "Brother Mu, tell me, if this matter would have happened 75 years ago,
If it hadn’t happened, wouldn’t they be full of descendants by now??”
Su Mu raised his head, glanced at Lin Jiu, reached out and patted his shoulder without saying a word.
"That's so fucking stupid!!" After Lin Jiu said this, he looked back at the memorial hall behind him, and his eyes couldn't help but become slightly moist.
Those once vivid lives can now only be turned into cold writings engraved on hard stone tablets.
"We were not born in a peaceful era, but in a peaceful country." After Su Mu was silent for a long time, he said to Lin Jiu in a muffled voice: "There are other countries in this world that are suffering from war.
