In the last century, China was poor and weak, so it became the target of bullying in many countries. Among these countries, there are not only old capitalist countries, western powers, Russia in the north of China, but also one country, which is a neighbor of China and has a very close relationship with China for a long time. This time, he also participated in the war of aggression against China, and this country is Japan, which is to the east of China and across the sea from the Korean Peninsula.
Before the Meiji Restoration, Japan was occupied by tokugawa era for a long time, and the power of the emperor was always overhead. After Meiji Restoration, Japanese military and political power returned to the hands of the Emperor. In the following period, Japan launched a comprehensive reform centered on the emperor, and became the number one power in Asia by virtue of the reform. Since then, Japan has embarked on the road of invading other countries, among which China is the most serious one.
During the eight years of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression between China and Japan since the July 7th Incident, there were not only careerists, politicians and soldiers who tried to annex China, but also some people who suffered from war, loved peace and strongly opposed it. Among them are China and some Japanese. This poem by Mr. Lu Xun is related to a Japanese anti-war journalist, who is Dr. Makoto Nishimura.
