Nanjing Massacre
built 267 days ago
The Nanjing Massacre... known as "The Rape of Nanking," is a rare example of simultaneous gendercides against women and men. It is generally remembered for the invading forces' barbaric treatment of Chinese women. Many thousands of them were killed after gang rape, and tens of thousands of others brutally injured and traumatized. Meanwhile, approximately a quarter of a million defenseless Chinese men were rounded up as prisoners-of-war and murdered en masse, used for bayonet practice, or burned and buried alive.

The point is, even if the Nanjing Massacre was no-existence, it is rather easy to develop an argument as if the massacre really happened. From first hand, there hardly be a war without any rapes nor mass killings, if you labeled the always-happening rapes and killings as Nanjing Massacre, then, hey, you’ve made up it, you know. In this way, you can fabricate any facts in history. it is easy to prove (that it was fabricated).

The Nanjing (or Nanking) Incident (... known as the Rape of Nanjing, the Nanjing Massacre and the Nanjing Atrocities) remains a highly controversial episode in Sino-Japanese relations. Indeed, as this paper will make clear, it remains so controversial, especially in Japan, that a neutral definition has yet to be agreed upon.[2] However, most would perhaps agree on the following. The Nanjing Incident refers to the killing and raping of large numbers of Chinese over a relatively short period of time by the Japanese military after the city of Nanjing was captured on 13 December 1937. Sadly for the historian, however, the Nanjing Incident is not only an important episode in Sino-Japanese relations, but is also emerging as a fundamental keystone in the construction of the modern Chinese national identity. As a result, the historian's interest in and analysis of this event can be interpreted as an attack on the contemporary Chinese identity,[3] while a refusal to accept the "orthodox" position on Nanjing can be construed as an attempt to deny the Chinese nation a legitimate voice in international society - or, in Iris Chang's words, as a "second rape". Moreover, any demonstrated interest in Nanjing can be viewed in some circles in Japan as "Japan bashing" (in the case of foreign researchers) or "self-flagellation" (in the case of Japanese).

[JURIST] Xia Shuqin [witness profile], a survivor of the 1937-1938 Nanjing Massacre [BBC report; memorial website], was awarded $200,000 by a Chinese court Wednesday in a lawsuit against two Japanese historians who claimed she fabricated her recollection of the atrocities. Shuqin claims to have suffered psychological trauma and damage to her reputation after the historians published two books claiming her accounts of Japanese troops entering her home and killing seven of her family members were untrue. The verdict requires the historians, Shudo Higashinakano and Toshio Matsumura, to immediately stop publishing their books and recall those books already distributed. Higashinakano rejected the ruling, disputing the jurisdiction of the court and arguing the case must be heard in Japan to have validity. Another survivor, Li Xiuying [obituary], was awarded $12,900 against Matsumura in 2003 in a separate defamation case.

Until the recent resurgence of interest in the Nanjing Massacre, the atrocities and their survivors had been largely forgotten. "After the war some of the survivors had clung to the hope that their government would vindicate them by pushing for Japanese reparations and an official apology. This hope... was swiftly shattered when the People's Republic of China (PRC), eager to forge an alliance with the Japanese to gain international legitimacy, announced at various times that it had forgiven the Japanese." Despite the fact that "the PRC has never signed a treaty with the Japanese relinquishing its right to seek national reparations for wartime crimes," no such reparations have been sought -- or offered. Overseas Chinese have, however, mounted increasing activist efforts. The San Francisco school district plans to include the history of the Rape of Nanking in its curriculum, and prints have even been drawn up among Chinese real estate developers to build a Chinese holocaust museum."

The Nanjing Massacre is ... known as The Rape of Nanjing. Besides brutal killings, over twenty thousand cases of rape were reported during those six weeks. Many of the victims were gang raped and then killed, many of whom are young girls and old women. And the figure did not include those captives who were sent to army brothels (the so-called "comfort stations").
