one river hates the blood of its compatriots, and it has a deep hatred for its elders for ages.
The mausoleum looks up sadly, and Zhongshan is too bold to ascend.
Don't be drunk, gentlemen, and you should hear the alarm when you stop.

On December 13th, 1937, the Japanese army invaded Nanjing, and under the command of fascists such as Shigen Matsui, commander of the Central China Army, and Gu Shoufu, head of the 6th Division, they massacred my unarmed compatriots on a massive scale for six weeks.
after the Japanese occupied Shanghai, they pushed Nanjing. The Kuomintang troops fought fierce battles with the Japanese army many times outside Nanjing, but failed to stop the Japanese army from attacking in multiple ways. On December 13th, 1937, Nanjing was occupied by the Japanese army in chaos. Under the command of Matsui Shigen, commander of the Central China Army, the Japanese army did everything in Nanjing.
on December 15th, the Japanese army sent more than 2, military and police personnel from China to the Hanzhong Gate, strafed them with machine guns and burned them. On the same day and night, more than 9, citizens and soldiers were taken to the naval torpedo battalion by the Japanese army, and all but nine escaped and were killed.
On the evening of 16th, more than 5, soldiers and refugees from China were taken to the riverside of Zhongshan Wharf by the Japanese army, first shot dead with machine guns and dumped in the river, only a few people survived.
on 17th, the Japanese army shot and killed more than 3, soldiers, civilians and Nanjing power plant workers from various places at the coal shore port to the Shangyuanmen River, and some of them were burned with firewood.
on the 18th, the Japanese army escaped from Nanjing and detained more than 57, refugees and captured soldiers at the foot of the shogunate mountain, tied them with lead wires and drove them to Caoxie Gorge in Shimonoseki. At first, they used machine guns to shoot at them, repeatedly stabbed them with bayonets, and finally poured kerosene, set them on fire, and threw the remaining bones into the Yangtze River. It is the Japanese second lieutenant Xiang Jing and Noda who have a "killing contest" under the Purple Mountain. After they killed 16 and 15 China people respectively, "the game is on again".
In the month after the Japanese army entered Nanjing, there were 2, rapes and gang rapes in the whole city, and no matter whether girls or old women were spared.

About one third of the buildings and properties in the city were reduced to ashes. Countless houses, shops, institutions and warehouses were robbed. "Nanjing after the robbery is desolate everywhere."
The judgment of the International Tribunal for the Far East, which was published later, wrote: "Japanese soldiers completely insulted the city like a group of indulgent barbarians." They "wandered around the city alone or in a small group of two or three people, committing murder, rape, robbery and arson", and finally the bodies of the victims were found all over the streets. "The flowing water along the river is red, and all the canals and gullies inside and outside the city are filled with corpses."
