The Flowers of War

The really heart breaking thing is that the Japanese wouldn't acknowledge or REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE the massacre really took place in Nanking! The Japanese still says that it was a military fight between the two troupes! But the Nanking and Tokyo War Tribunals proved that a conservative estimate of 300,000 Chinese were killed (or slaughtered) by the Japanese soldiers within 2 months after Nanking was fallen to the hands of the Japanese soldiers in 1937! Due to the internal fights between the Communists and the Nationalists, the Japanese have NEVER paid a dime as war compensation to the Chinese! When I was a child, my aunt and other old ladies always scared me by saying: if you don't behave, the Jap will come and take you away... What a chilling way to discipline me when I was only 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7... ! History is what it happened, not what the Japanese want to learn in class or what the communists want to instill into its museums...
