Features: The content of this book originates from confessions written by some Japanese war criminals detained at the Fushun War Criminal Management Center. How did these confessions, forged from heartfelt remorse, come to be? We must not forget the monumental achievements created by the public security officers who once worked at the Fushun War Criminal Management Center. Those detained Japanese war criminals, though not necessarily the primary perpetrators of Japan's invasion of China, had all violated international law and humanitarian principles during the war, committing severe crimes against the Chinese people, especially the high-ranking officers. Based on the incomplete statistics of several major crimes of the war criminals we have identified, under their instigation or participation, houses were burned and destroyed, food, coal, and steel were looted, peaceful Chinese residents and captured personnel were killed, and more than 30 major atrocities, such as Panjiayu, Beituan, Bamu Dong, and Sanzhao, were carried out. The blood debt these war criminals owe to the Chinese people is beyond description. Therefore, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, how the government would deal with these deeply culpable Japanese war criminals became a matter that weighed on the hearts of millions of Japanese citizens and drew global attention.
