On December 13, 1937, Nanjing fell. More than 300,000 Chinese soldiers and civilians were captured and brutally killed. While killing wildly, the Japanese army also raped women on a large scale and carried out large-scale robbery, burning and destruction. The cruelty of his methods and the barbarity of his behavior are outrageous. This bloody history is the darkest page in the history of modern civilization and a shame that no Chinese should forget.
This catastrophe is an eternal pain for the Chinese people and a shame for all mankind. In a sense, its nature is more serious than the murder of Jews by the German Nazis during World War II. After all, the Nazi massacre was a party massacre of a nation, while the Nanjing Massacre was a nation massacre of another nation. This is worthy of deep thought by all mankind. However, there are still some people in Japan who fundamentally deny that the Nanjing Massacre occurred, and there are still people who write books and articles to absolve the aggressors of their guilt.
The author personally visited nearly a hundred survivors of the Nanjing Massacre who were alive at that time, and obtained a large amount of first-hand fresh information. With words soaked in the blood and tears of Chinese people, he penetrated the wind and smoke of history and presented the beginning of this event to readers with detailed facts.

This book gave me a deeper understanding of the Nanjing Massacre. The author truly depicts that tragic history through a large number of historical facts and oral accounts of survivors. The characters in the book are vivid and their experiences left me heartbroken. This book is not only a record of history, but also a reflection on human nature. It reminds us to cherish peace and never let such a tragedy happen again.
After reading "The Nanjing Massacre (A History That Every Chinese Should Not Forget)", the coolness of the paper still lingered on my fingertips, but it felt like a hot boulder was pressing on my heart, which was so heavy that I couldn't calm down for a long time. This book does not have gorgeous rhetoric. It only uses pages of historical materials and sentences of survivors' oral narrations to clearly unfold the hell on earth in Nanjing in 1937 before my eyes, allowing me to so truly touch the pain engraved in the bones and blood of the nation. Don't forget history, we should strengthen ourselves
