Today the survivors of the Nanking Massacre, now in their seventies and eighties, still recount the terrible things that happened over six weeks in 1937. Their voices tremble as they recount their memories, repeating over and over how they hate the Japanese. The Rape of Nanking was one of the most terrible atrocities ever recorded in history, and it happened only in the last century, between two countries we think of today as among the most civilized in the world. Yet it seems we have mostly forgotten about it, the Chinese government covering it to protect their trading status with Japan and Japan mostly denying it ever happened. The Japanese army, determined to take China and use its vast resources to fuel their defeat of the Oriental half of the world, marched through China in 1937, laying waste to everything they marched through.
They isolated themselves from other countries; but after their imperialisms in the late 1800s, the countries went on different paths. China remained traditional and denied modernization and suffered because of it, while Japan emulated the imperial powers and became an imperial power themselves. Before the early 1700s and the late 1800s, China was a leading nation. China was fairly strong during earlier periods of history. It had a strong and peaceful government during the Qing Empire and imperial powers such as Britain and the U.S. were interested in Chinese goods.
The Nanking Massacre Not many people know or understand what really happened in Nanking, China during the Nanking Massacre. The Nanking Massacre, also known as “The Rape of Nanking,” is an example of inhuman treatment by the Japanese Army to Chinese civilians. In the incident, many Chinese civilians were tortured, raped and murdered. The torture that the Japanese applied to the native population at Nanking almost surpasses the limits of human comprehension and includes live burials, mutilation and dog attacks. Japanese soldiers would force one group of Chinese captives to dig a grave, a second group to bury the first, and then a third group to bury the second and so on.
This means that the reason of the Cloth of Gold wasn't just a PR exercise. On the other side, source 6 says that nothing significant was achieved and after two years King Henry and King Francis were at war again. There is evidence to support this view because they just spent all the money to entertain the participants and themselves. It was more to show each other and to the people that they had power. In addition, they wanted to convince everyone that they could
So we were all talking and Cobi said,” I’m so good I don’t need a brain.” For some reason that caught everyone’s attention, and that is how Brainless Club started. I know it started off kind of weird but it grew into something way bigger as we grew up together into mature adults with aspirations, and no longer kids just trying to get high. It was founded by a group of talented cousins, and we vowed to not let anyone outside of our bloodline
Lay Judges are picked just like jury trial are in America. They are regular citizens being given the same rights as a judge in America to determine the innocence or guilt of a criminal. With this new system in place the countries case have dropped by 120 previously they handled 258 case which dropped down to 138. In America mostly all case are seen not afraid of consequences of losing due to incompetent officials. Japans prosecutor are reluctant to have cases seen by Lay Judges so they don’t bring a lot of cases to them.
Police violence is an unnecessary act carried out all over the world. How much force is too much? Where should we drawl the line? Police brutality takes it’s tolls world wide. In Nepal when a Maoist supporter is found the standard scenario is the Nepali police barging into homes arresting the supporter so they can beat him/her severely for a few days and then let there family know that they were shot dead in an “encounter” with the police.
When the purple mountain burns Through the characters used in the novel ‘When the Purple Mountain burns,’ Shouhua Qi, has managed to narrate the occurrences in China after the invasion by the Japanese military. This happened several years ago for few days, which the author stresses, were terrible and traumatizing to many. The city that was attacked in China was known as Nanjing, which the incident adopted the name, ‘Nanjing Massacre.’ As the book shows, many people including women and children lost their lives as the army fought the people indiscriminately. We note that the author has skillfully put in place the events from day one to day six with the specific dates and inclusion of the fictitious characters that have been established to create different perceptions regarding the events. Clearly, there is a moral dilemma faced by two characters, Ling and Little Chao, which caused much tension.
Nanjing had a population of well over one million that was mainly made up of people that where fleeing from the Japanese army that started to invade China. The Japanese military was motivated by their aggression and uncontrollable desire for expansion and imperialism. When Japan launched their attack on the city of Nanjing, China had no choice but to surrender the city (Yao). The next six weeks the capital was filled with brutal inhuman and terribly violent acts now known as the “Nanjing Massacre,” or “The Rape of Nanjing” (Gray). Terror filled the streets of Nanjing; Japanese forced their way into the homes of innocent Chinese civilians.
