It has been 40 years since the Lushun Massacre. Nearly half a century has been a long enough time. It has been so long that not only Europeans and Americans have forgotten it, but even Chinese people have vague memories. Even the vast majority of Chinese people do not know that a massacre occurred in Lushun.
There are no reports in newspapers, no records in history books, and no reflections in literary works. How can the general public know?
While Zhou Hexuan was giving lectures angrily, a Dalian native named Sun Baotian had quietly come to Lushun to secretly investigate the truth of the massacre.
Historically, it was because of Sun Baotian's risking his life to investigate that the Lushun Massacre once again attracted public attention. However, due to the double suppression by the Nanjing government and the Japanese, these investigation results were difficult to publish in newspapers and could only be disseminated privately on a small scale.
It was not until after the Nanjing Massacre that the brothers Fei Xiaotong and Fei Qing jointly translated "Under the Dragon Flag", and the truth of the Lushun Massacre was finally known to the public.
Part of the content quoted by Zhou Hexuan in his lecture comes from "Under the Dragon Flag", also known as "Under the Dragon Flag - Eyewitness Account of the Sino-Japanese War", which was published as early as 1898. The author of this book, James E.
Lun was actually a bankrupt second-generation rich man. The American ship he worked for was responsible for transporting arms to the Qing army. As a result, he was captured by the Japanese army and subsequently witnessed the entire massacre with his own eyes.
There is no doubt that when the content of Zhou Hexuan's lecture is made public, it will definitely cause an uproar in Europe, and there will also be excitement in China - it is the first time for most people in Europe and China to know about this matter.
A few days ago, when Howard Sassoon was communicating with Zhou Hexuan, he revealed that they are reprinting "Under the Dragon Flag" and that the book will be available to British readers in half a month at most.
Zhou Hexuan continued to show the slideshow, Pingdingshan Massacre, Lancang Massacre, Tonghe County Massacre, Haibei Town Massacre, Guanjiawobao Massacre, Gaojiatun Massacre, Mazhong County Bridge Massacre, Zhangjingfangtun Massacre...
"In the two years from 1931 to 1933 alone, there were more than a dozen tragedies caused by the Japanese army in China, and there were confirmed witnesses and physical evidence," Zhou Hexuan said sadly, "Japan's barbaric massacres have never stopped, and
It is going on with intensification. The victims of these tragedies range from dozens to thousands, and they are basically unarmed civilians..."
There are very few photos of the tragedies in recent years. After all, the Sassoon family is not a fairy. What Zhou Hexuan is showing now mainly uses photos of the tragic post-war scenes, but when combined with his written explanations, it is still shocking.
Even those Japanese international students have nothing to say now, and some even lowered their heads in shame.
"Oh, Fuck," a British student couldn't stand it and shouted in frustration, "Mr. Zhou, please don't post these photos. I feel so uncomfortable!"
"Yes, Mr. Zhou, we already know the suffering of the Chinese people. Please stop showing the slides."
Other European students echoed this.
"Then we won't play it." Zhou Hexuan asked someone to turn off the projector.
"If it is a group of beasts that only know how to kill, we don't need to panic too much, because civilization will definitely defeat barbarism," Zhou Hexuan continued, "But Japan is a precision-operated killing machine, and it is arming itself with the power of science.
Why does Japan invade East Asia again and again? It stems from their 'mainland policy'."
"What is a 'continental policy'? Japan is an island country that dreams of occupying the mainland all the time, dreaming of dominating Asia and occupying the world. As early as the 17th century, during the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate, the 'overseas heroic flight theory' had already appeared in Japan.
This was the prototype of Japan’s ‘Continental Policy’. In March 1868, Emperor Meiji of Japan promulgated the ‘Imperial Letter’, formally establishing the basic national policies and ideas of the ‘Continental Policy’.”
"Japan's 'mainland policy' is divided into six steps: first, annex Taiwan; second, annex North Korea; third, annex Manchuria and Mongolia; fourth, annex China; fifth, annex Asia; sixth, dominate the world!"
"Now Japan has completed the first and second steps, and the third step of the plan is about to be completed. More than half of China's Manchuria and Mongolia areas have been annexed by Japan. Their next step is to annex the entire China and the entire Asia. This is not alarmist,
The 'Tianyu Statement' has exposed everything."
"In the next five years, Japan will inevitably invade China and Southeast Asia. By that time, Britain, France, the Netherlands... European countries' colonies in Asia, including India, will all be targets of Japan's attack. Europeans pray for peace, but it is undeniable that
The war is approaching step by step, and you cannot escape. Perhaps when Japan raises its butcher knife again, it will not only kill the Chinese, but also the British, French, and Americans."
Zhou Hexuan was afraid that these Western students would not believe it, so he listed the legal documents issued by Japan in the past 30 years, as well as Japan's military expansion and war preparation data in recent years. Under the cold words and figures, the truth that Japan wants to annex Asia and dominate the world is revealed.
Being completely exposed in front of everyone.
"That's not all that's scary. What's even more terrifying are the ordinary Japanese. They support Japan's aggression and expansion and think Japan's war and killing are right. There is a beast hidden in every Japanese's blood."
"Take the buying and selling of relatives as an example. Japan's original legal ethics were modeled after China. The Chinese prohibited the buying and selling of close relatives and identified this behavior as 'disharmony' among the 'ten evils'. The Chinese have an idiom called '
The "Ten Evils" means that those who have committed these ten major sins cannot be forgiven, and buying and selling close relatives is one of them. Japan has removed two of the "Ten Evils" and changed them to "Eight Abuse", openly supporting the buying and selling of relatives and the marriage of close relatives.
"
"In the traditional thinking of the Japanese, parents can control their children as they please, and husbands can control their wives as they wish, even selling them. Children and wives also recognize such behavior and feel that it is a contribution to the family. The education they received
For the benefit of the family, to be filial to your parents, and to serve your husband, you should sacrifice your own happiness."
"In Japan, a girl who sells herself as a prostitute for the sake of her parents and younger brother will be officially commended by the government. When this moral concept is extended to the entire country, it becomes a lower class commoner who must sacrifice for the government, nobles and officials.
."
"During the Tokugawa shogunate era, Japan even formulated the 'Yukoku policy' to encourage women from good families to engage in prostitution, because this could increase the national treasury and family income. This resulted in nearly 30% of Japanese civilians at the time being infected with syphilis."
"In Japan's Meiji Restoration era, in order to develop industry, Japan encouraged Japanese women to work as prostitutes overseas. According to statistics in 1911 alone, more than 20,000 Japanese women went overseas to sell prostitutes (Harmony). They were called '
Nanyang Sister'. Decades ago, some of the military expenses for Japan's wars with China and Russia were raised by Japanese women selling themselves."
"This is a very terrible phenomenon. Japanese people generally voluntarily support the country's war of aggression, even at the expense of everything they have for it. Four years ago, Japan held an aviation fund-raising event. Individuals, groups, shops, companies, students, and the whole people participated enthusiastically
Donations, even Japanese prisoners, beggars and prostitutes are donating money. They donated a total of 64 aircraft, which were organized into the 'Patriotic Flying Wing', and these aircraft were used to invade China."
"What has the Japanese government done for the prisoners, beggars and prostitutes in the country? It actually asked them to donate voluntarily. I don't know. I only know that they donated voluntarily and used their hard-earned hard-earned money to support them.
countries waging war and massacre.”
"This is Japan, an almost perverted country and nation!"
What Zhou Hexuan said made the Westerners in the classroom tremble with fear, because the Japanese's stance was beyond their imagination and completely incomprehensible and unacceptable.
Toynbee also conducted research on Japan, but his research only stayed on the surface. At this time, he couldn't help but said to himself: "Absurd country, absurd people, I seem to be listening to a fable. Perhaps, I should continue
Go to Japan and learn more about them.”
It was approaching noon and the lecture had ended. Zhou Hexuan allowed the students to ask questions freely.
But no one raised their hands to speak, and everyone fell silent, as if they were digesting what Zhou Hexuan said.
Only the reporter stood up and asked: "Mr. Zhou, can you guarantee that what you said is true?"
"I guarantee it with my personality." Zhou Hexuan nodded.
