Fear reigns the chinese territory during the 2nd World War in the early 90s' (1937-1938). This massive event should not be faded in our minds as the Japanese are evolving terrorism fears / carnage onto the land of China. Millions of chinese suffered / living under a critical condition lacking of food; majority of them excavate underground food (permanant) like yam as the grains, meats, vegetables were pretty hard to acquire. The havoc causes jitter and most of the locals decided to move to Chongqing (重庆), so as the chinese government.
The Downfall (Click here for larger image) See how the Japanese did to the ChineseJapan invasion on China and Asia was to conquer their lands. Pearl Harbour Bombing on 7 December 1941 was shocking incident for the Americans on that time. Tons of navy died on that chaotic morning. America was unprepared on that time and considerably weakened, eventually was abruptly brought into the Second World War as a full combatant. The States Army Air Forces later dropped the nuclear weapon "
Little Boy" on the city of Hiroshima, followed three days later by the detonation of the "
Fat Man" bomb over Nagasaki, Japanon the morning of August 6, 1945.

Between December 1937 and March 1938 at least 369,366 Chinese civilians and prisoners of war were slaughtered by the invading troops. An estimated 80,000 women and girls were raped; many of them were then mutilated or murdered.
On today's Japanese society and education field, theses historical event was not published or even mentioned on the history / text book. It's ashame of them not to do so. Protestant from around Asia deny Japan's act on the World World 2. Current Japan's Prime Minister, Junichiro Koizumi made several visit to the War Shrine on respect to the warriors of the 2nd World War which has marked a denial / red dot from CHINA and other Asian countries.
"日本首相
小泉纯一郎 (Junichiro Koizumi) 和他的前任们参拜供奉二战日本战犯的靖国神社的行动引起了中国和其他亚洲国家的强烈不满"
In Japanese culture, these are remarkable warriors who had fought their life and defending & glorify their country. Every country do have thier own warrior to be honoured with but these Japanese warrior were cold blooded to be honoured instead. For us, they are not just an animal (during the World War 2,) but a Culprit to other nation's death! Recently, the Japanese King, had made a sympathy statement of the World War II victims throughout Asia in order to tighten foreign countries relationship.

An artist drawing an illustration of the scene on that time. The woman on the left was one of the victims from the incident which she cannot forget throughout her entire life. She was showing her shoulder where the japanese stabbed her with a gun-knife.

300,000 people died in 1937-1938. Might have more!
A skull remains unidentifiedJust before I explored deeper, I came through a drama series which is also related to these Nanking incident. I simply couldn't imagine how those chinese suffered on that time. You would feel pity for them and how fortunate we are nowadays, a relief of aftermath. Can you imagine how our grandpa and grandma or their mother / father had gone through all these? Sad to acknowledged if you are the next generation from the past victims.
