The Nanjing Massacre is by no means a matter of one city and one place in Nanjing, but a symbol of the suffering of the whole Chinese nation. More than 300,000 innocent people were killed and condensed into huge scars, which wrote tragic notes for the national mourning.
National public holiday day is not only for commemoration and publicity, but also for accumulating hatred, but for "taking history as a mirror and facing the future". While lamenting the painful history, we should remind the people not to let history circulate, stimulate patriotism and strive for strength, so as to unite the faith and strength of the country and the nation.
Remember the past, especially in recent years, Japan has not confessed, repented and reflected. Some Japanese right-wingers even openly ignored historical facts, distorted history on issues such as the war of aggression against China, the Nanjing Massacre, comfort women and forced labor, and even ignored the protests and opposition of Asian neighbors, and continued to visit the Yasukuni Shrine, which honors war criminals of World War II, in an attempt to revive the ghost of militarism.
This requires us to be more vigilant, so that we have to be alert to reality while remembering history. The national public sacrifice has brought the distant smoke closer, relived the sufferings of the nation, and made us more deeply realize that the unyielding struggle of the Chinese nation against aggression and the bloody sacrifice of countless people with lofty ideals are the inexhaustible motive force for us to realize the "Chinese dream".
