It is an indispensable foundation to commemorate the history of the Sino-Japanese War and fully understand the historical facts.
The war that took place in 1894 was called the Sino-Japanese War in China and the Japanese War in Japan. Through the narrative tone, it is not difficult to judge the speaker's position, but it is not difficult to find that in China, it is not an individual phenomenon to use terms such as "Sino-Japanese War" to reverse the order of events. It reflects that people's understanding of historical facts is limited and even misunderstood. Therefore, to commemorate history, we should start with popularizing basic historical facts.
Historical facts are the true colors of history. Views and conclusions are a coherent main line, and historical facts are the bright pearls on this main line. Grasping sufficient historical facts is helpful to deepen the understanding of a period of history, and then form a certain conclusion on this basis. In order to avoid repeating the same mistakes, we should reflect deeply and sum up the lessons we can learn from them. The positive significance is self-evident, and these contents are given by experts in the field, which ensures the credibility and persuasiveness. However, the choice of historical facts is often because of the need of argumentation, and it is inevitable to be one-sided just to be familiar with the historical facts used to support argumentation. To this end, it is not useless to publish and disclose more details.
Secondly, commemorating the history of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 should be long-term and fixed, and become a continuous behavior of the whole nation.
120th anniversary has passed 1894, and the resurgence of Japanese militarism is of course the background for China to commemorate the Sino-Japanese War. However, with the establishment of the "Double Day" in the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC), China at the beginning of this year, the memory of the Sino-Japanese War should not be just a temporary move, but need to be fixed.
Throughout the history of modern Sino-Japanese relations, 193 1, 1937 and 1945 are all years that should not be forgotten. The September 18th Incident kicked off Japan's invasion of China. Six years later, the July 7th Incident marked the beginning of Japan's full-scale invasion of China. On August 1945, Japan announced its surrender and formally signed the unconditional surrender on September 2 of the same year. However, as mentioned above, the reversal of the Sino-Japanese pattern began in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, and it was with this change that Japan's mentality towards China changed. Therefore, commemorating the history of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894 and making this behavior permanent and fixed is conducive to tracing back to the source. Only by observing the history of half a century since 1894 can we form a clear understanding.
Thirdly, the purpose of commemorating the Sino-Japanese War is to learn from history and face the future.
1937 in the spring, the film "Guanshan Wan Li" was filmed, and the episode "The Great Wall Ballad" sang: "Toothless unforgettable Chou He hates." It is true that a nation can gain the motivation to work hard by remembering the deep suffering it has suffered, but the mentality is completely occupied by hatred, which will inevitably lead to short-sightedness and increase the burden of progress.
Objectively speaking, it is quite difficult to ask China people to look at Japan calmly and not be influenced by emotional factors. But as a rising power, having a mature national mentality is the proper meaning in the title; Its outstanding performance is nothing more than honesty and calmness in attitude. In this way, when commemorating the Sino-Japanese War, China should avoid the disadvantages of hating Japan and totally denying Japan.
