Today, Ghosts of the war-loving Still wonder around island country. But those Japanese villains are informed: Even ashes of your militarists Can never fill up the bloody sea! We---descendants of China Hold sword of justice high to eradicate enemies' ghosts! This sacred action Comforts those passed countrymen, those wronged-to-death spirits and those beloved heroics! A message is spread all over the world through internet:
HOW COULD WE FORGET THE HISTORY!http://www.china918.net/en/index_en.htm

Dear Xiaoyy

I myself is a Chinese, just like you are. I love my country, and I believe you do, too. We are exactly the same in many aspects, also in the attitude towards the war happened 60 years ago. That was a pain for all the Chinese.

But there's one thing, I'm afraid, I don't share with you. You know what I mean, don't you? Wars should be avoided by all means, if possible. We have already suffered so much from the pain, and what we should do now is perhaps preventing the spread of such grief, such agony, which is against our fundamental human nature. I can't help thinking about the crying eyes of children lost their parents through the wars in Afghanistan some 4 years ago, and the many mothers who wanted to see the sons fallen in battlefield for the so called "freedom" or "justice". Believe me, there's no "justice" in this world when you see innocent people dying for it.

Sometimes I hate the things some Japanese do, for, like I said, I am a Chinese. How can I pretend to be fine when I see their prime minsiter still worshipping the militarists who killed my countrymen and ruined my beautiful, beautiful hometown? How can I pretend to be fine when I read Japanese articles claiming that the Nanjing Massacre, in which more than 300 000 people were slayed in the cruest way ever, was a lie!? Believe me, when I'm writing this, I feel painful, just like you do now, if you are reading this.

Still I want to say, or rather, I want to ask, what would happen even if we won another war against the Japanese? What if we killed all the janapnese militarists? Would the fallen be alive again? Wouldn't it be a wiser idea to concentrate on things we should, and really must do?

Xiaoyy, history shall not be forgotten, but it can be forgiven. The gone is gone, and we have to face tommorrow.

@nizeng,
very very good and healthy posting! I respect your thoughts, and also your grief so very much. People like you break this evil circle some people carry on and on for generations. Im proud of you! Exactly this kind of spirit will make the world a better one.

Don't be such a baby. There is no such thing as peace in the world. Every country competes with each other, once their country's economic / security is threatened by other coutries, then the War will explode.Therefore, Let's wipe those 'JP a55h0les 'out of East China Sea & give them a servious wake-up call.
