Chapter 2982 The Flimsy Annals Cannot Bear These Humiliations

After leaving Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin went to the Presidential Palace and Zhonghuamen Castle.

There are still many tourists in these two places, especially the presidential palace, which is more lively than the vegetable market.

After leaving the presidential palace, the two went to Zhonghuamen Castle.

Compared with the city walls of Chang'an, the city walls of Jinling are much inferior.

Chang'an did not experience the front fire of the Anti-Japanese War, and there was no major battle in the Liberation War, so most of the Ming Dynasty city walls and even the gate towers have been completely preserved. And Jinling City suffered heavy losses in the defense war in 1937. During the Liberation War, it also experienced the baptism of artillery fire, so the city wall was seriously damaged. The gate tower on the Zhonghuamen Castle was destroyed by shells during the Japanese attack, and it has not been repaired so far.

Of course, the Zhonghuamen Castle is still very strong. In the era of hot weapons, the Chinese defenders at that time resisted the fierce attack of the Japanese army for several days based on the gate built in the Ming Dynasty. However, in the end Jinling City still fell, and then a tragic killing took place.

When standing on the Zhonghuamen Castle, Luo Ziling couldn't help sighing again.

Yang Qingyin likes to visit these historical attractions with Luo Ziling very much.

She studies history and has a strong interest in history.

Luo Ziling also likes history and knows a lot about history.

Every time he travels with Luo Ziling, he always tells a lot of historical allusions.

Some allusions are only known to those who have read a lot of books, and many things cannot be learned in textbooks.

Moreover, some things have completely changed their taste in textbooks, and they are not the truth of history at all.

While playing, Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin talked about Zhu Yuanzhang and Shen Wansan, and the tragic war when the Japanese attacked Jinling in 1937. Yang Qingyin listened carefully, and lamented the history with Luo Ziling.

Ye Xiaoli and Shi Yidan followed behind them, and they were not far away, so they basically heard what Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin discussed. Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin's knowledge is very profound, which makes them admire. Women generally do not know as much about history as men. The main reason is that women are not as interested in history as men.

However, if someone guides them, many women who are not interested in history will also become interested. Women like Ye Xiaoli and Shi Yidan who have served in the army are still a little interested in history. It's just that they are not as interested in history as men.

But the discussion between Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin made them feel like a kind of enjoyment.

They listened carefully as if they were listening to a story.

From the exchange between Yang Qingyin and Luo Ziling, they also learned a lot of historical knowledge that they didn't know before.

For example, the history of the Zhonghua Gate originally called Jubaomen, why Shen Wansan, the richest man in Ming Dynasty, died, the tragic battle when the Japanese army attacked Jinling, and even now they know the name of the general of the Chinese army who defended Jinling City at that time.

Playing behind Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin is quite rewarding.

The next day, they got up early, changed into decent clothes, and prepared to go to the memorial hall to participate in activities.

Ye Xiaoli has already made arrangements.

Luo Ziling was wearing a black tunic suit with a white shirt underneath.

Yang Qingyin also wore modest clothes, a black coat and a white shirt.

Ye Xiaoli had already arranged for them to participate in the event, so they walked into the memorial venue without any trouble.

I don't know if it's the induction from the sky. Yesterday's clear sky disappeared, replaced by dense clouds.

Not long after Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin arrived at the commemorative event, it was raining lightly.

The sky is whimpering on this special day.

Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin are in the front position.

Coincidentally, a person who looked like a leader standing next to Luo Ziling actually knew him.

When Luo Ziling went to Jinling to look for Luo Xusheng, that person had met him.

Luo Ziling didn't remember the appearance of that person,

But the other party recognized him at once.

Seeing that Luo Ziling also came to participate in the event, he was also very emotional.

Because of the atmosphere of the venue, the two did not communicate much.

Then the flag-raising ceremony began, and the five-star red flag rose to the top of the flagpole, then slowly lowered, and stayed in the middle of the flagpole.

Today, in the form of lowering the flag at half-mast, we commemorate the heroes who fought for the country more than 80 years ago and those innocent victims.

The people participating in the commemorative activities gathered very early, and the formal commemorative activities began at ten o'clock.

Everyone stood on the square for a long time, but no one had any complaints.

Whether it is soldiers, students, or other people who participated in the commemorative activities, they all stood there quietly with white flowers in their hands.

The numbers .13 and 300,000 on the stele strongly prick people's nerves.

The mountains and rivers were weeping, and the heaven and the earth were mourning together. Luo Ziling could imagine what the people living in Jinling City experienced in that winter more than eighty years ago. Too many people died. For the survivors, it was a dark day that cannot be recalled.

Taking advantage of the waiting time before the commemorative event, Luo Ziling sent another Weibo.

He took a few photos of the commemorative event, the half-lowered five-star red flag, the special stone tablet, those reliefs, and the dark sky.

"Today is the anniversary of the massacre, and it is also the public memorial day of our country. Let us recall the unbearable history of surrender together, and remember and cherish the memory of the compatriots who died. After the fall of Jinling, on average, every twelve seconds A Chinese person died under the butcher's knife of the invaders. What is the concept of 300,000 victims? Someone once estimated that if all the victims of the massacre stood together hand in hand, the team would stretch from Jinling to Qiantang, as long as 320 kilometers. The total weight of blood on them is 1,200 tons, and the corpses can fill 2,500 train carriages! "300,000 victims" is by no means a cold number, but a historical tragedy composed of fresh lives. It is so specific, Such pain. We must remember that period of history, and we should also remember this period of history. These humiliations cannot be carried by the flimsy history books, and some blood and tears cannot be washed away by the long years!"

Originally Luo Ziling wanted to end it here, but after thinking about it, he wrote another paragraph: "As an ordinary Chinese, no matter what you are busy with today, I hope you can spare a minute at ten o'clock in the morning , together with those of us who participated in the commemorative activities at the scene, we mourned for our dead compatriots. And told them that China is now strong, the motherland is prosperous now, humiliation is a thing of the past, and it will never happen to us in China No one can make us surrender!!! But in any case, we must not forget, and dare not forget, the history of humiliation that made us hurt forever. Our strength today and the peaceful life we ​​can enjoy are the result of those years. And the heroes of the national war bought it with blood, every inch of the country and every inch of blood."

After editing this text, Luo Ziling read it a few times, and found that there were no typos and sentences that were not clear, so he sent it out without hesitation.
