1937 the Smoke Rises

The gunfire outside Wanping City completely shattered the whitewashed peaceful world. From Northeast China to North China, they have remained unchanged and have always been greedy for this land. Kill your people, steal your things, burn your houses, destroy your culture, and finally, destroy your nation! Forty million Chinese, sallow and skinny, poor and backward, used up the last strength of their bodies to yell out those three words: No! We have fallen, but we have established the most glorious civilization! We are weak, but we have the longest history ever! We are ignorant, but we once stood tall in the world! —— We have endured the most severe suffering, so we have always loved peace.
