Features: This book adopts a critical perspective to conduct social surveys and psychological analyses of numerous former Japanese soldiers who participated in the invasion of China. The book profiles nine typical former Japanese war criminals, including a military doctor who performed live dissections on Chinese people, an officer who organized large-scale forced labor recruitment, a spy involved in the Nanjing Massacre, a gendarme who personally tortured and killed over 300 Chinese people, a member of Unit 731 who manufactured biological weapons, a prison doctor who executed Chinese patriots and Japanese deserters, and a soldier who refused to participate in the atrocities of killing, burning, and raping. The book provides a profound analysis of their psychological motivations for battlefield atrocities, their transformation process in the Fushun War Criminal Management Camp, and their deepened understanding of war crimes after returning to Japan. It reveals the difficult journey these war criminals undertook in seeking a sense of guilt. The book also examines how the children of former Japanese soldiers who invaded China deal with their parents' war crimes, clarifying the importance of post-war Japanese generations correctly understanding the history of war, as well as strengthening communication and dialogue with the post-war generations of victimized countries.
