Young seekers uncover Japan's wartime past across borders; Precious historical archives delivered amid 8Ist anniversary of Japanese surrender_我的网站
A |
August 15 this year marks the 81st anniversary of Japan's unconditional surrender in World War II. As the main battlefield in the East for the war, China fought a 14-year resistance war at the cost of 35 million casualties. It pinned down the bulk of Japanese military forces and made indelible contributions to the victory of the global anti-fascist cause.
On this significant anniversary, French youth Marcus Detrez, his compatriot Bastien Rata, and Chinese youth Zhong Haosong will donate precious historical archives to the Memorial Hall of the Victims in Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders.
Global Times reporters accompanied the trio throughout their cross-border archival retrieval mission, witnessing firsthand the handover of historical materials collected in Paris and Tokyo to archival institutions and memorial halls in Chongqing, Shanghai and Nanjing.
"Without justice, there can be no true peace," Marcus told the Global Times during his trip from Shanghai to Nanjing on Thursday.
History through multiple perspectives
A landmark handover of historical documents shedding new light on Japan's wartime bombing of China took place on August 10 at the Chongqing Municipal Archives, as Marcus and Zhong donated digital scans of 138 pages of rare materials related to the devastating Chongqing Bombing.
Compiled by Bastien from the Nantes Diplomatic Archives Centre in France, the mostly French-language files—accompanied by Chinese texts and maps—offer an unflinching third-party account of Japanese air raids on Chongqing, Chengdu and other cities between 1938 and 1941. The archives detail exact bombing dates, aircraft formations, ordnance types, civilian casualties and infrastructure destruction.
Of particular note within the archives are the Chinese and French translations of a so-called Statement of the Government of the Empire of Japan. Attached to a letter dated November 1938, the document brazenly demanded that China cease its resistance against Japanese aggression and submit to Japan's so-called "new order in East Asia", threatening military punishment if its demands were rejected.
Marking the 89th anniversary of the August 13 Battle of Songhu, also known as Battle of Shanghai, the historical preservation effort reached another milestone on August 13 in Shanghai, where youth activists presented 891 pages of invasion-era archives to Shanghai Songhu Memorial Hall for the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression for further research.
The archives, obtained from the Nantes Diplomatic Archives Centre, include records detailing the dates and locations of Japanese bombing raids on parts of Shanghai during the Battle of Shanghai, as well as the number of aircraft involved. The materials also cover Japan's aggression in Northeast China, the puppet state of "Manchukuo", Japanese atrocities and bombings, with some records also relating to the Soviet Union and the Korean Peninsula.
The third batch of materials, scheduled to be handed over to the Memorial Hall of the Victims in Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders on August 15, was brought back from Japan last week by Marcus, Zhong and others. During their trip, they visited several WWII archival collections and secondhand bookstores in Tokyo, uncovering more than 50 items weighing about 20 kilograms, including pictorials, publications, books and photo albums dating mainly from 1932 to 1945. The materials cover the Nanjing Massacre and Japan's preparations for launching the July 7th Incident, among other topics.
Among the finds was a book titled The Nanjing Front, which documents events related to the Nanjing Massacre despite not mentioning the massacre in its title. They also found photos taken by Asahi Shimbun of Japanese air raids, as well as images of the Great Wall after it was damaged during the Japanese military's occupation.
"These archives should go where they belong," Zhong told the Global Times.
'Guarded' Japanese collectors
In France, archival research was a race against time. Bastien told the Global Times that they had only four days to work at the French diplomatic archives in Nantes. Each person could access no more than six boxes a day, or 24 boxes over four days. Some contained as many as 10,000 to 20,000 pages, while only 10 to 20 percent might relate to Japan's war of aggression against China. "We had to go through the pages one by one, quickly identify anything relevant and scan it immediately," Bastien said.
The team then spent nearly a month organizing the material, working about eight hours a day. They also developed an AI-powered system to translate and classify the records and extract information on dates, locations, people and events, while linking the French diplomatic archives with photos and notes left by Marcus' grandfather.
Finding wartime records in Japan posed a different challenge. Much of the material is not publicly catalogued online, so the team had to visit collectors one by one and keep asking specific questions.
"The biggest challenge is that many Japanese collectors are cautious about what we are looking for. Some know these materials exist but choose to avoid the issue, while others have clues but are unwilling to share them," Zhong said.
The team visited one Tokyo collecting institution twice. Despite explaining during their first visit that they were looking for wartime materials from the 1930s and 1940s, the collector initially showed them only ordinary photos of Japanese soldiers. The team then changed its approach, asking why many Japanese WWII records contain gaps concerning China. The collector said Japan generally refers to the conflict as the "Sino-Japanese War," rather than Japan's war of aggression against China. The team pressed further, asking whether there were records related to Shanghai, Nanjing or Chongqing. Only then did previously unseen materials gradually emerge.
The team also cross-checked promising finds with Chinese institutions, including the the Memorial Hall of the Victims in Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders, and traced their provenance. One photo album, for instance, came from the family of a Japanese soldier and still contained the photographer's details and names of people pictured.
Anchoring hard-won peace
In early August, Marcus and Zhong stood at a busy intersection in Tokyo's Shibuya district, dressed in black and holding Japanese-language banners urging Japan to confront its history of aggression, including the Nanjing Massacre. They spent about three hours raising awareness on the street. Some foreign tourists stopped to ask what had happened, while some Japanese passersby tried to stop them.
There was also support. A Japanese female blogger livestreamed the event, saying she wanted to share the truth and promote peace. Japan's refusal to face its wartime history and apologize, was "irresponsible," she said.
"Our long-term goal is simple: to let the world see the truth of history," they told the Global Times.
Zhao Yongsheng, a professor at the Institute of Regional and International Studies at the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing, said the growing involvement of international friends in uncovering Japan's wartime history and preserving the truth carries unique value. It not only helps safeguard historical truth, but also challenges long-standing Western biases and neglect of the Eastern theater of World War II. More importantly, it demonstrates that exposing wartime atrocities and defending peace and justice are shared moral responsibilities of humanity.
"There are concerns that confronting Japan's wartime past could create new instability in Asia. In fact, the opposite is true," Zhao said. "Germany became a 'stabilizer' in Europe partly because it confronted its Nazi past. In Asia, only by fully confronting Japan's wartime crimes and curbing the ambitions of right-wing forces can the region escape the shadow of militarism and achieve lasting peace and development."
Regarding the newly recovered materials, an official with the Shanghai Songhu Memorial Hall for the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression told the Global Times that experts will first authenticate the archives before their formal handover. Zeng Jin, deputy director of the Chongqing Municipal Archives, said the materials would complement existing collections and provide new evidence for research through third-party perspectives from foreign governments and societies.
。 俄乌战争继续相互攻击模式，乌克兰的无人机远程打击依旧声势不小，乌克兰已经成功打击了俄罗斯萨马拉州的进步火箭航天中心，这算是近期最新最大的战绩了。 乌克兰一直在打击俄罗斯本土，之前只是重点打击俄罗斯的能源系统，如今突然变换了目标，攻击进步火箭航天中心。 乌克兰总统泽连斯基更是亲自确认，打击这一目标的情况，承认使用了“火烈鸟”巡航导弹。 俄方也确认受到攻击，只是没有公开具体的情况，只是说，萨马拉遭遇大规模袭击，当地工业设施受到损伤，确定有2人受伤，无死亡，没有公开财产损失。 卫星图已经拍到了85米的大坑 这一次的打击与众不同，以前都打击俄罗斯的军事目标或能源设施，如今却针对俄罗斯航天工业的重要设施。 进步火箭航天中心为俄罗斯航天体系中的关键节点，主要负责航天器研发制造，尤其是“联盟-2”系列运载火箭生产，为其唯一的总装基地。在军用装备、航空技术、加密系统等领域也占据了不小的地位，俄罗斯正在发展的“黎明”卫星互联网体系，就是俄版“星链”系统，也是该中心有着密切的关系。

乌方宣称，对进步火箭航天中心的袭击引发了一场大火，过火面积约5000平方米，扬言“对如此重要设施的袭击会严重削弱俄罗斯的军事和技术能力。” 乌克兰远程偷袭得手 不管怎么说，进步火箭航天中心为俄罗斯航天体系中的“心脏”，也因此，这次打击不简单，直接盯上俄罗斯航天业，有战略性意义。针对俄罗斯航天业，这是对俄罗斯国力的打击。

由此可见，这种打击不是乌克兰的主意，而是西方的意图，试图消耗俄罗斯的国力，满满地阴谋。 乌克兰对俄罗斯本土的打击完全不存在约束，不管乌克兰总统泽连斯基如何表态，都没有影响对俄打击，还一直呈现变本加厉之势。乌克兰无所顾忌的行动，令人怀疑有什么不敢打的目标？ 现在在乌克兰的社交媒体上，就有人在猜想：乌克兰敢炸卖中国的大飞机吗？另一个被炒作的话题。 据称是为中国制造的伊尔-78Mk-90A 最近几年，总有各种不同来源的消息，显示中国向俄罗斯引进军用装备，2026年8月19日，俄罗斯方面消息称，一架新型伊尔-78MK-90A加油机可能是为中国建造的。 根据所谓的俄罗斯航空业内部文件，中国计划引进20架伊尔-78MK-90A加油机，预计交付时间在2027年至2028年之间。 这等于一个新的高价值目标出现，乌克兰可以对即将外销的伊尔-78MK-90A加油机进行打击。 俄罗斯还有新机交付能力？ 这一消息完全属于无证据的，毕竟中俄军贸项目已经停止多年，在苏-35战斗机交易之后，中国再没有向俄罗斯采购过任何大型军购项目，如今突然传出大型加油机项目完全没有道理。 即便假消息的可能性非常大，但是不影响某些人炒作这一话题。当然，这架伊尔-78MK-90A加油机到底是不是出口给中国的都两说，还有可能是给阿尔及利亚的，他们最近购买了苏-57、苏-34，买新加油机也是正常的。 不过，以乌克兰的行为特点，如果真有机会，不会放过这个机会。尤其是，既然打击了航天制造中心，那么打击下大飞机产业，也不为过。如果要削弱俄罗斯战争潜力，这也是个选项。 可惜目前只停留在口嗨阶段，要真正实施需要太多的前置条件，例如目标详细位置，需要明确的坐标，是否有机库机堡掩护等等准确情报。 在获得这些准确情报前，就讨论炸不炸，只是一部分乌克兰人，甚至可能还不是乌克兰人，要凸显乌克兰的无人机远程打击的“影响有多大”。 现在乌克兰非常喜欢宣传对俄罗斯的无人机打击效果，实则就是一种舆论媒体，基本就是宣传手段，缺少实在的东西，更不敢提，被俄罗斯报复的后果。 为了报复进步火箭航天中心被打击，8月16日，俄罗斯国防部称，打击了基辅的乌克兰军工企业，重点为“燃点”公司，这是乌克兰最重要的军工企业之一，“火烈鸟”巡航导弹、远程无人机、弹道导弹为其主要的产品。
D | 如果论重要程度，一点不亚于进步火箭航天中心。
俄军报复更猛 如今的战场形势被乌克兰有意掩盖了，压根不敢说实话，乌克兰无人机打击的效果远远不是宣传的样子，俄罗斯报复却被乌克兰有意压制，俄罗斯军队在地面上的作战更没有被完整地展示。 最近乌克兰刚发动了一次反攻，号称“一下子收各种几百平方公里的土地”，可是仅几天时间，才发现反攻完全存在于宣传上，实际没有取得任何实质性的进展，反而是俄罗斯军队在地面上，连续取得多项重要的进展，攻城略地没停下来。 乌克兰属于没有办法了，在地面战场上无法击败俄罗斯的进步，为了继续讨好西方，换取援助，只能编造好消息，掩盖现实。
E | 可惜编造的好消息终究都是假的，无法改变战场上的实际情况，最终的战败不可避免。
