发信站: BBS 未名空间站 (Wed Dec 18 21:03:23 2013, 美东)
We need to celebrate and honor our friends and our heroes. They built a
bridge of peace and trust, which we need to reinforce.
Israel honors Schindler and other people who helped save Jewish lives
during Holocaust:

Why don't we do the same thing and honor our friends and their memory?
1. Chunyan Li shared this story/film about Nanking Massacre and the effort
of foreigners in protecting civilians in Nanking:

3. the Doolittle raids:
When Chinese locals tried to hide and evacuated American pilots (landing in
occupied China), 250 thousand Chinese villagers were murdered by Japanese
military in retaliation.

"Following the Doolittle Raid, most of the B-25 crews who had reached
China eventually achieved safety with the help of Chinese civilians and
soldiers. Of the 80 airmen who participated in the raid, 69 escaped
capture or death. When the Chinese helped the Americans escape, the grateful
Americans in turn gave them whatever they had on hand. The people who
helped them paid dearly for sheltering the Americans.
The Japanese military began the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Campaign to intimidate
the Chinese from helping the American airmen. All airfields within a
range of some 20,000 square miles (50,000 km2) in the areas where the
Raiders had landed were torn up.[28] Germ warfare was used and
atrocities committed, and those found with American items were shot.
The Japanese killed an estimated 250,000 Chinese civilians during their
search for Doolittle's men.[29][30]" |
