Features: During the War of Resistance Against Japan, the atrocities committed by the Japanese army on Chinese soil and the debts of blood they owed were innumerable. In every short entry in this book, at least hundreds of innocent souls are crying out and screaming. And when they are compiled into this brick-like book, it only records but a fraction of the crimes of the Japanese army. The brilliance of the work lies not in "recording" but in "questioning," "Why did they kill?" and "Why were we slaughtered?" The author provides a profound analysis of the history, culture, mentality, and concepts of both nations. The depth of insight, the clarity of vision, and the pertinence and originality of the language are second only to Bo Yang and William Shirer. Therefore, it not only allows us to see this painful page of history but also reveals the deep-rooted layers buried beneath it. After reading it, we are moved to rise up in reflection. Any reflection is for the sake of creating today and the future. The future of China, as well as the relationship and direction between China and Japan, depends on the planning and creation of a new generation from both countries. As our young people embark on this grand endeavor, it would be beneficial for them to first read this work.
