This picture is now on display at the Anti-Japanese War Hall of the Military Museum of the Chinese People’s Revolution. It describes the scene of the saber presented to China by Okamura Neiji, commander-in-chief of the Japanese invaders, when he surrendered. This saber is a historical witness to the victory of the Chinese nation's Anti-Japanese War

At 10:10 on August 15, 1945, Okamura Neiji received a letter from Tokyo about "His Majesty the Emperor has decided to accept the Potsdam Proclamation." The secret message was an unconditional surrender order. That night, Okamura Neiji couldn't sleep all night facing the sun flag and sword.

On September 2, Okamura Neiji submitted "Requests for Instructions Regarding the Armistice Agreement" (***5) to China. The second paragraph of Article 1 requires "Please allow the commander to return to Japan with his sword." China is well aware that the Japanese army regards swords as a symbol of spirit and soul, so it categorically rejects this model and accepts other items. On September 7, in preparation for the surrender ceremony, Chinese Army Commander-in-Chief He Yingqin sent someone to formally inform the Japanese side that Japanese military representatives were not allowed to bring knives to the surrender ceremony. In essence, China's request is tantamount to taking care of Okamura Neji's face. Naturally, he didn't want to perform the act of surrendering in front of everyone! However, the Chinese side required that Okamura Neiji transfer the sword to He Yingqin to show the disarmament of the Japanese troops in China.

September 9, 1945, is a day worthy of eternal commemoration by the Chinese people and the people of the world. The signing ceremony for the surrender of the Japanese troops in the China Theater and the surrender ceremony of the Chinese troops in the China Theater were held in Nanjing. The ceremony location was determined to be in the auditorium of the Central Military Academy of the Nanjing National Government. Military representatives and military attachés stationed in China from the United States, Britain, France, the Soviet Union and other countries were invited to attend and observe. Nearly 1,000 Chinese and foreign journalists, honor guards, guards and staff attended the ceremony. At 8:51 a.m., He Yingqin, as the special representative of Chiang Kai-shek, the supreme commander of the Chinese theater, entered the venue with the commander-in-chief of the Third Theater Gu Zhutong, Army Chief of Staff Xiao Yisu, Navy Commander-in-Chief Chen Shaokuan, and Air Force First Route Commander Zhang Tingmeng and took their seats. Surrendered. At this time, General Yoshiji Okamura, Commander-in-Chief of Japan's China Expeditionary Force, as the representative of Japan's surrender in the Chinese theater, led the Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Kobayashi Asaburo, Deputy Chief of Staff, Major General Takeo Imai, Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Expeditionary Force Fleet, Lieutenant General Fukuda Ryozo, and the Taiwan Military Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Isayama Haruki and 7 other people were already waiting outside. As required, they were disarmed in advance and took off their military caps and held them in their hands.

After He Yingqin and others were completely seated, Okamura Ningji and other Japanese military representatives were guided by the staff to file in from the main entrance at 8:52 and took their seats at the surrender table. At 9 o'clock, the surrender ceremony began. He Yingqin presided over the ceremony. Okamura Ningji first presented a certificate issued by the Japanese government that Okamura Ningji was authorized to surrender. Xiao Yisu, on behalf of He Yingqin, handed two Chinese copies of Japan's surrender document to Okamura Neiji. Okamura stood up, lowered his head to accept it with both hands, and let Kobayashi study the ink. He hurriedly flipped through the letters of surrender, then lifted the brush heavily, and quickly wrote his name on the two letters of surrender with slightly trembling hands. After signing, he took out the round crystal stamp from his jacket pocket with stiff fingers and stamped it under the signature. Because Okamura's hand was shaking all the time, the seal he stamped was slightly tilted to the right. His signature handwriting is quite timid. Perhaps Chief of Staff Kobayashi was also uneasy when he was studying the ink. The ink was not thick enough, and the ink color of the signature was slightly light. After sealing, Okamura Neji lowered his head and looked down at the surrender letter for 50 seconds. Then, Xiao Lin handed the two letters of surrender to He Yingqin. When he bent down to bow, He Yingqin actually stood up to answer the salute (according to the convention, He should not stand up to answer the salute, so he just accepted the letter of surrender with one hand), which surprised everyone. Allied representatives on board were whispering about this. After He Yingqin signed and sealed the Japanese surrender document, Xiao Yisu handed one copy to Okamura. Afterwards, He Yingqin transferred the No. 1 Order of Chiang Kai-shek, the supreme commander of the Chinese theater of war, and the receipt certificate to Xiao Yisu to Okacun. After Okamura signed the receipt, Xiaolin presented it to He Yingqin. At this point, the 20-minute surrender ceremony ended. Okamura Neiji and his group of seven people retreated to the designated position and bowed to He Yingqin together. He You couldn't help but stand up and return the courtesy. After Okamura Neiji and others left the stage, He Yingqin gave an impromptu radio speech. English translator Bao Jing'an retells He's speech in English. The audience burst into applause, and China's War of Resistance Against Japan finally came to an end with victory.
