Features: The compiler of this book, Zhu Rongji, is from Shenzhen. He collected some "Military Service Medals" and "China Expeditionary Coins" of the Japanese army from the antique market in Shenzhen. After careful research and supplemented with historical materials of Japan's invasion of China, he compiled this book. It is a book that presents evidence of Japan's war crimes against China to the world, once again echoing the call "Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it." Since the First Sino-Japanese War of 1894, Japan's aggression against China has intensified, lasting for half a century. During the invasion of China, the Japanese army not only mercilessly killed civilians and plundered resources but even awarded medals to brutal killers who conducted killing contests in China. In Japan itself, the war was glorified and publicized in various ways. Japan's invasion of China is an undeniable fact, yet to this day, some stubbornly refuse to admit guilt or express remorse. In the book "Glorification of Invasion and Self-Confessed War Crimes," we see the "Military Service Medals for the Incident from Showa 6 to 9," which were issued by the Japanese Emperor to the Imperial Japanese Army and Navy personnel who participated in the 1931–1934 invasion of China. The "China Expeditionary Service Medal" was awarded by Japan's "Bureau of Awards" to the Japanese troops in China. The "Shanghai Expeditionary Corps China Expeditionary Commemorative Coin" was a special coin (reward) made by the Japanese military and given to the soldiers of the "Shanghai Expeditionary Corps" who participated in the period of 1937–1938. These military medals and comfort coins from that time, along with countless other war relics of Japan's invasion of China, are irrefutable evidence of the crimes provided by the Japanese themselves. We must continuously present these evidence to the court of history.
