A documentary book makes public the experience of life in a concentration camp and comfort women. The protagonist's experience is tragic, and every detail is outrageous. At the same time, he is lucky. It is a miracle that he survived, and he is also brave. It takes a lot of courage to publish his experience to the world, but it is not appropriate. How can you forgive those beasts? In short, it is still very helpful to understand that period of history.
∞After reading this book, I felt very heavy. The harm caused by war is always women and children! Although the crimes of the Japanese happened to people in the previous life. But they cannot be forgiven because they did not understand the mistakes made by history! Yang, the protagonist of this book, understands. But many Chinese victims will not forgive them for the burning, killing, looting and abuse they committed in China over the past eight years! For example, the Nanjing Massacre will be remembered by every Chinese person! Keep history in mind and the people of the country will strengthen themselves!
I finished reading it in one night. I admire it very much. I also hope that more people like Tom can understand their cry and save them. Too much concept of chastity is not a good thing. Today there are still people who use the term "comfort women" to insult people. They really do not deserve to be human beings. Many Japanese women have also become "comfort women", and some Japanese are the ones who are guilty. Japan is running away to this day, and the fact that the Yasukuni Shrine is still there shows that they have not repented. Today, when I advocate peace, I still hope that Japan will disappear [laughs awkwardly]. After all, the nuclear wastewater has been discharged, and the whole world is a victim.
May history not repeat itself.
How can I "forgive" when I feel so full of grief! The fruits of peace are so hard to come by, so we must use all our strength to guard them!
Never forget history and the pain caused by war
Give it a five-star rating. As younger generations, we cannot forgive our ancestors for the harm they have suffered. We also cherish the hard-won present even more. We will have no regrets in this life.
This is the autobiography of a former "comfort woman". I always thought this group only included East Asian women, but I didn't expect it to include Dutch people. After being silent for 50 years, the author finally had the opportunity and courage to make this experience public. Fifty years after the terrible experience, the author got on a plane bound for Japan for the first time and still felt terrified when he heard the Japanese airport announcement, which shows the sadness and tragedy of this experience. They are victims of war and a group of people who have been deeply hurt. They are getting older, but history cannot be buried. We are with them, waiting for a real apology.
After reading it, I feel respect for the author for writing this book. The five stars are for more people to see. God will bless you.
I felt heavy after reading this book. This book really made me feel the ugliness of the Japanese! Deep sympathy and sorrow for those innocent people! I can't imagine what it would be like if this happened to me. I hope there will be peace in the world and no war! The last word - don't forget the national humiliation
