Taiwan's pro-dependence activists are a bunch of ignorant idiots who make Chinese people all over the world feel angry and ashamed. I'm Malaysian Chinese

I'm in a total mess. My mom was s young 6 or 7 year old in Malaya when the Japanese invaded. One day they came rampaging through the village. She was picked up by one of the soldiers who apparently spoke Mandarin to her. She had seen others being killed but miraculously this soldier dropped her and told her to run. I found out later that her dad joined the underground movement and were killed by the Japanese. The Japanese killed Chinese people everywhere they found them. Sook Ching was another major mass killing that occurred in Singapore. It was a sad time. My mom never talked about her dad because they made her feel ashamed about him as those who fought the Japanese also later fought the British because at the end of the war the British, who abandoned Malaya, came back to try to be colonial masters again. The AntiJapaneseArmy became freedom fighters but the British called them communists guerrilla terrorists rather than freedom fighters. So my grandpa who was supposed to be a hero killed fighting an oppresor, became a reason to be ashamed of by my mother. She never talked abt him. I learned this so many years later when my dad told me 3 weeks before he passed away at 91. I'm so sad I never learned anything about my hero grandpa.

The most fascinating event that is often neglected in the narrative of the Second Sino-Japanese war is what happened to the millions of Japanese civilians who lived in China after Japan surrendered. Hundreds of thousands of the women and children were abandoned in China (mostly the Northeast) by their own government. The people of the Northeast didn't take revenge on these abandoned civilians. There's no accusation from any country about mass reprisals, not even against Japanese soldiers who surrendered en masse. Many of the civilians, especially the kids, were adopted by Chinese families and then returned to Japan 30 years later in the 1970s when the PRC and Japan normalized relations. But most stayed because they had no surviving family in Japan. My wife actually went to school with a girl who didn't find out until the 1990s that her grandmother was actually Japanese, one of the orphans left behind in 1945.

The Japanese had it out for the Chinese race in general, and the Koreans were not spared either. This hatred was not just demonstrated in Nanjing but spread down into Southeast Asia. During the second World War, and the eventual occupation of SEA, the Japanese targeted ethnic Chinese in very specific and varied ways, including the rounding up of adult Chinese males to be slaughtered and buried in trenches that served as grave for those massacred. Japanese soldiers were witnessed to have thrown babies in the air and allowed their bodies to fall down into upturned bayonets. Even though the Germans massacred Jews during the pogroms, at least they made restitutions after, and their history books admitted to the atrocities they committed. Whereas the Japanese have never in history admitted to their crimes to this day. Then again, though most of the world would not admit to other atrocities committed against the Chinese as a race throughout history, it confuses me how the Chinese as a race has been so stoic and forgiving in each and every crime perpetrated on them throughout history. Perhaps it is in this racial and cultural character that frightens much of the rest of humanity that leads others to hate and treat the Chinese people in that way.

The human body moisture content was obtained by repeatedly baking with live humans in the Japanese 731 unit. There are also terrifying live dissections without anesthesia. Maternal love experiment, where the mother carries the baby into a closed room, heats up the floor, and sees if the mother is causing herself to burn or standing on top of the child until both the mother and the baby are carbonized and burned. Many of the experiments they conducted were unnecessary and purely pathological, such as exchanging hands and feet, or exchanging blood from various animals for living humans.

Watching this hurts the soul. Nothing will justify the atrocities committed no matter where in the world. However, as Jiayi pointed out, inhuman acts committed in Europe during the second world war are so much more well documented and taught in the western world. Yet, for whatever reasons, the Nanjing massacre never stained human history in the same way. Both of you should be commended for documenting this because those atrocities are still being committed today. Julie, dare I say, your voice from a western perspective, adds a lot of credibility to this tragedy especially in the current geopolitical climate.

Thank you very much for your honest and just words!Now, you can visit the 731 Site Museum in Harbin.The human body moisture content was obtained by repeatedly baking with live humans in the Japanese 731 unit. There are also terrifying live dissections without anesthesia. Maternal love experiment, where the mother carries the baby into a closed room, heats up the floor, and sees if the mother is causing herself to burn or standing on top of the child until both the mother and the baby are carbonized and burned. Many of the experiments they conducted were unnecessary and purely pathological, such as exchanging hands and feet, or exchanging blood from various animals for living humans.The United States found ways to exempt these Japanese people from punishment and brought them to the United States, establishing the Fort Derrick US military laboratory to continue their research. The virus transmission test that occurred in San Francisco, USA in the 1960s~.

Thank you for sharing this extremely important Japanese war crimes history against the Chinese in WWII.

Thank you for telling the truth about China's history.

I have been to Nanjing but I dare not go this museum, because I know what I am about to see. Iris Chang, the author of The Rape of Nanking died of unknown reason after her book was published in a car in the States. I don't want to end up like her. Neither dare I go to Harbin 731 Museum, which is named after the Japanese Royal Army biological war troops that used Chinese, Korean and Russians to test for answers such as extreme high temperature that human could endure. They put live human in ovens. You get the picture and I am not going into more details.

You know what Julie, unless you NEED to stay outdoors for an extended period of time (more than 5 minutes let's say) during winter, Jiayi's hometown is actually cozier than Hangzhou. Why? Because in the north they have centralized heating delivered into homes from thermo plants. For most people, most of their winter in the north is warm and dry (aka cozy). In the south before temperature rises to a "not cold at all" level (because of closeness to the tropical zone), the winter feels colder than the winter in the north. Hangzhou and surroundings (the Jiangnan area, as it's south of The Changjiang) cultivates some of the most coldness tolerant people in China. Not only can be temperature go below zero, the humidity in the air makes your cold-resistant clothing less effective - you feel cold to the bones! In contrast, northern coldness is dry coldness. Put on layers and layers and don't stay outside for too long and you'll be fine. The only area that's colder is along the southside of the Qinling-Huaihe (Qin Mountain Rage - Huai River) line, which is the geographical separator of Southern China and Northern China. Most places in that region don't have centralized heating, but the average temperature is even lower than that of the Jiangnan region. Why am I telling you all this? Because there is a memorial for the victims of Unit 731 in the Northeast of China, where Jiayi is from. Go there sometime. Don't be afraid of the cold weather. It's much warmer indoors over there. And you'll get to discover another piece of untold history of Imperial Japan's atrocity.

I second Max' suggestion for you two to document Unit 731's memorial in Harbin. These things should live forever on internet.

As a Shanghainese who grew up with war stories from my grandparents and parents, but later had occasion to work in Japan for 2 years and that JP company in China for 8 years, I had to reconcile many facts of history to contemporary life. I went though a period of trying to put history in a jar and "move on" because I made a lot of Japanese friends. But I came to realize good people often cannot overcome bad government, and the Japanese government has systematically denied history to the point that many young Japanese are ignorant of history & believe Japan was a victim of WWII. That is why we have to face history & tech it. To live at peace, we need "Truth & Reconciliation" - and truth comes first.

This video is really in another level, making me show much respect for you guys.

I went to Nanjing many times but never had the courage to go there because I would break down in tears, even thinking of Japanese's war crimes makes me sick. I don't have the courage to go to the museum in Ho Chi Minh City of the Vietnam war either nor to the one in Auschwitz. All these crimes are inhuman but somehow everybody recognizes the crimes of the Nazi but not the one committed by Japanese and the Americans. History is indeed written by the victor.

I read the rape of Nanking (maybe that’s where the name come from?) by Iris Chang. I cried for a few days, it was very disturbing. Maybe in the future you visit unit 731 Museum in Harbin? Japan cruelty did not stop in Nanjing massacre.

As of now there are 50-100 Japanese schools in China. They do not allow Chinese people to work or study there. Many netizens have expressed concern and is pressuring the government to remove these schools. As they operate more like a Japanese only territory.

I visited the Nagasaki War Museum in 2019, and I discovered a very interesting thing. The museum is full of pictures of how the Japanese were suffered by US military bombs in Nagasaki. However, my friends and I both believe that the people in Southeast Asia experienced three years and eight months of destruction by the Japanese army, many families were destroyed and lived in misery. Does Japan's history record their crimes?

Besides the Nanjing Massacre and Unit 731, the bombing of South East Asia and many provinces and cities all over China has killed an estimated death of between 35-50 millions Chinese. The blood debt inflicted upon the Chinese by the Japanese can never be repaid. Through the years till now, not only the Japanese Government do not admit and have been whitewashing their atrocities, they are not only up to no good in what they are doing, but they are still harbouring very evil intentions against China.

But they wanted to hold on to power, and refused till the end. the atomic bomb was after A LOT of attempted communications with the Jap govt, which all fell silent. At the same time, the Japs had no intention to end the war. It was the Jap emperor and government who force US hands, and brought this on their very own people. Absolutely nobody else, right from the beginning.

Never forgotten those days in Singapore under the occupation of Japanese military

In today's tumultuous world, it's so important for all of us to know about our pass and learn from it.😢 Thank you for making this video. ❤

This real Nanjing massacre is almost unknown in Europe..thank you fir elucidating ...

The reason why it is better known as the "Rape of Nanking" is because of the book written by Iris Chang (Chinese-American bestselling author), The Rape of Nanking. She is memorialized in the museum with a Statue of her holding her book.

After I have watched this video. I better understand why chinese people havent forgive Japan after so many years. I have always thought China is childish. This is history, it is time to reach out each other and forgive everyone. But how can China forgive Japan, when the Japanese Government doesnt acknowledge their genocide against China and they even rewrites history about their heroic war and calls China for liar.

Thank you for posting this video. It makes so sad and me want to visit this museum to pay my respects

You are so brave to speak out about this in KZread. Thank you so much 👍👍

Thank you. Let's not forget Prince Asaka, who ordered the massacre, and was granted immunity from war crimes by the Americans. I am currently writing a historical fiction novel in which Prince Asaka is a central character. He lived out the rest of his life playing golf.

From China, Burma, to Indonesia, and Philippines, the Imperial Japanese committed atrocities and war crimes. This is very well documented and we remember. It must never be allowed and we have to fight imperialism and the dark history of colonialism.

Thanks for sharing this. 99% Americans probably never heard what Japan did to China, Asian countries, and their people during World War II, nor this Nanking Massacre.

I stayed at an APA hotel in Saga, Kyushu. I had a first hand eye opener to the persistence of denial by some Japanese. The hotel owner paid to print books in English and placed them in the hotel rooms for guests to read his denials. I read and noted that the factual denials about Nanking were primarily in two areas : the actual numbers and the culpability of the Japanese officials. On the numbers, the denial claimed the numbers were fictitious because unlike the Holocaust, there were no official documentation listing the actual names of victims to match the numbers. In contrast to the Nazi death camps where the Jews were meticulously registered with names and personal particulars, this is probably true. So excuse sought to downplay the numbers of victims. Second was the lack of official evidence of Japanese government role giving any such order. Finally he referred to the Indian judge appointed to the Tokyo tribunal who rejected the war crime accusation as a Victor's Justice. I was going to throw the book into the trash bin but changed my mind. Instead I wrote over the pages refuting the claims, hopefully the next guest will see it Blacklisted APA hotels personally thereafter.

Thank you so much. I have to watch this video separately coz it is too sad. Some horrible pictures come to my mind when I was a kid. My father was in the army to fight against Japan invasions.

So sad that my brothers and sisters were murdered and killed by the Japanese soldiers yet even to this day the Japanese government refuse to apologize for the atrocities that they committed

As a Chinese, we will never forget what happened in our history!

I’m Singaporean we Singaporeans nearly never had our founding father, I’m talking about our late PM Lee Kuan Yew,when he was 18 years old he was slapped and later joined with other young Singaporeans was marched to the beach to be massacred by machine gun but fortunately managed to escape.

My late maternal grandfather barely escaped when the kempetai or Japanese secret police came for him. After the war he never forgave those beasts for what they did to his friends who weren't so lucky.

Imperial Japan was so depraved. Even the Nazis set up protection camps for Nanking residents.

The Nanjing Massacre is 300,000 But the total number of Chinese killed by the Japanese is estimated conservatively at about 30,000,000 yes thirty million people! The population of many countries!

We could never forget the atrocity committed by the Japanese soldiers in the WW2 invasion of China.

40,000 able body young men were taken to the Singapore beaches and massacred. A monument was built and paid for by the Japanese. Till today some seniors citizens who suffered and survived boycott japanese food and goods. I survived as a 1943 baby. Till today I refrained from visiting the Nanjing Massacre Museum and YuHuaDai Memorial.
