The antagonism toward Japan among the Chinese continues to grow as Japanese government rewrite their school textbooks trying to whitewash the atrocities they did on the Chinese people during WWII. Some people argued that "it's been more than 50 years, why can't you guys get along already?" well, I'll give you the reason, it's not that hard to understand, time will not magically heal a wound if it is not attended upon, and what Japan is doing right now is more like twisting knife in the old wound again and again, then rubbing salt into it afterwards. Tens of thousands of innocent Chinese were killed (including pregnant women and infants) in every henous way you could imagine, familes were destroyed, women were abused and raped, healthy people were experimented with viruses... ... Yet, this part of history was so understated, people around the world have so little knowledge of what really happened. If Japanese government continues to be so adamant about their superiority, refuses to give an apology we deserve, then why should we forget? why should we forgive?
