Features: Countless wars have gradually faded into the depths of history, and perhaps countless others are quietly brewing. We oppose war, but we cannot afford to ignore it, and we must also have the courage to wage just wars to stop and eliminate unjust wars. When one war after another becomes a story of the past, it is necessary to reopen the thick annals of human history to seek the stories behind the wars, to estimate the impact of wars on human destiny, to comment on the gains and lessons of wars, and to discover the historical traces left by wars. Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it. Wars cannot be forgotten because they have once, are now, or are about to sweep across the land like fierce storms; wars cannot be forgotten because they have once, are now, or will change the map of the world and the hearts of humanity.
