Nanjing Nanjing substitutes the perspective of Japanese soldiers, beautifying the Japanese devils and traitors, who are affectionate and righteous, pure and innocent. The effect of the shooting is: the Japanese devils will make you feel bad if they are shot, and it doesn't matter if the Chinese soldiers are killed like stepping on ants. The Chinese are expressionless walking dead. The comfort women were betrayed by the Chinese themselves. The commander of the Japanese army did not want the ghost soldiers to rape the women, so he urged the comfort station to be built as soon as possible. Being a traitor is also a last resort. If you see traitors in the future, don't beat or scold them. They are also good people, even martyrs. Westerners are moral role models angel saviors. In the end, the Chinese man and child were heartless and happy, but it was the Japanese soldier who committed suicide because of his conscience. From the shooting and approval of Nanjing Nanjing, we can see: where is the real enemy of the Chinese people.

Anyone who faces the subject of the national massacre should be cautious, but Lu Chuan's solo show in the second half basically reached the point of insanity. The Japanese soldier committed suicide because of atonement, making the real history deduced into a literary and artistic tone overflowing with human nature. In the course of history, no Japanese soldier has ever done this. The slaughtered did not need the slaughterer to say good things. It was excessively poetic, legendary, and spectacle, and found the wrong stage.
