  On the 16th, the People’s Daily Weibo commented on the teacher’s erroneous remarks, saying: “More than 300,000 compatriots were killed in the Nanjing Massacre. The evidence is as strong as a mountain. Speculation, questioning the truth of history, and being a teacher in vain! Forget the suffering and deny the evil deeds of other countries. For the people of the country! Education welcomes truth-seeking, but under the name of "discriminating the false", to excuse sinners and wipe out the suffering of the nation, how can such ignorance and virtue be worthy to guide the next generation? History is the foundation, and education is the future of the nation. The future has lost its foundation. Where will the nation survive?"

  The video exposed on the Internet showed that Song Gengyi made a false statement when he was teaching students: “How many people did the Japanese invaders massacre in Nanjing? There is no data to support 300,000 people. This 300,000 is just for writing Chinese historical novels. An overview of, there are no counts of thousands of people with names and surnames..."

  In another video that was exposed, Song Gengyi once again made a false statement: “No matter how we propagate the Nanjing Massacre in China, how many people died, but you don’t have historical data to support this period of history. That's it, it's the same as it really is..." At the end of this video, it is obvious that some students ridiculed and ridiculed the teacher's erroneous remarks.

  The evidence is like a mountain, no one can slander

  On the stone wall of the Memorial Hall for the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre by the Japanese Invaders, "300000 victims" are engraved in Chinese, English, Japanese and other languages. It shows to the world the crimes of the Japanese invaders and reminds the people of the humiliation and injuries they have suffered. pain.

However, in the 84 years after the catastrophe, there were still people who questioned whether the number of victims reached 300,000 for various "reasons", especially the right-wing forces in Japan who, through the so-called "accurate research", proposed 200,000 and 100,000. People, 50,000 people, 30,000 people, or even 3,000 people, 47 people, etc.

The fundamental intention of this kind of questioning behavior is to use the "imprecision" and "unobjective" of the number of people to prove the "imprecision" and "unobjective" of fact finding, and then define the Nanjing Massacre as the victims by objective facts. Subjectively constructed "memory of victims", thereby denying the existence of the facts of the Holocaust.

Therefore, defending the number of victims of the Nanjing Massacre is not only about historical facts, but also about national dignity.

In fact, the 300,000 victims should refer to the lower limit of the number of massacres killed, and the most direct basis comes from the verdict of the military court for the trial of war criminals after the war.

  On the 16th, the West China Metropolis Daily and cover news reporters contacted Wu Xianbin, the curator of the Nanjing Civilian Anti-Japanese War Museum.

Wu Xianbin has long studied the history of the Anti-Japanese War and is also one of the think tank experts in the Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall.

In his view, Song Gengyi’s denial of the number of victims in the Nanjing Massacre was actually disrespect for history: "The victims of the Nanjing Massacre exceeded 300,000 compatriots. This is the number in the judgment of the Nanjing Military Tribunal for the Trial of War Criminals. It is a number recognized by the military court. At that time, statistics and inferences were made based on various social surveys. It was a number recognized by the military court. It cannot be changed and cannot be slandered by anyone."

  In the Second Historical Archives of China, there is a "Judgment of Yasuo Tani, one of the principal culprits of the Nanjing Massacre", which details the crimes of the lieutenant general of the Sixth Division of the Japanese Invaders at that time.

The verdict stated that Gu Shoufu was one of the principal culprits in the Nanjing Massacre.

After Japan surrendered, Tani was listed as a Class B war criminal by the Far East International Military Tribunal. He was extradited to Nanjing in 1946, and in February 1947, he was tried by the Nanjing Military Tribunal for War Criminals.

In Gu Shoufu’s judgment, it clearly read: "During the period of Gu Shoufu’s troops stationed in Nanjing, I was captured at the Huashen Temple, Pagoda Bridge, Shiguanyin, Xiaguan Caoxie Mountain, etc. More than 190,000 people, including Shan Yaoting, were killed by Japanese military machine guns and burned their corpses. In addition, more than 150,000 corpses were buried by charity organizations. The total number of victims reached more than 300,000. It is tragic everywhere. The cruelty is beyond the description of Bishu."

  The verdict also stated: "The fact that the Japanese generals who would attack Nanjing jointly ran their troops and carried out separate massacres, rapes, robberies, and destruction of property has been proven by all and cannot be concealed." "The defendant and the attacking generals After he led his troops to my capital, they raged and raged together, and hundreds of thousands of people were stabbed. More brutal acts such as caesarean section, headshot, gang rape, and alive burning were used to impose unarmed people on innocent women and children. They are extremely vicious and incomparable."

  "More than 300,000 compatriots killed in the Nanjing Massacre, there is solid evidence!" Wu Xianbin told reporters that he was angry when he saw a video of Song Gengyi making false remarks in class: "This man has not received a good history education and is confused. Ground nonsense. We call for the strengthening of universal education in society, allowing the public to enter museums and receive education in history."

  In fact, the number of victims in the Nanjing Massacre was more than 300,000, but exceeded that number.

"This number is based on the conclusion of the military court after a large number of investigations. To be precise, it is not 300,000, but more than 300,000. The next two words'above' are very important. Because of the law of transmission, we conventionally say it is 30. Ten thousand people, but I think the word'above' must not be lost." Wu Xianbin said.
