    九一八 国耻日 回顾历史 展望未来 2012_9_18

    今年的打击日货闹得很凶, 发生了一些失去理智的打砸抢, 深表遗憾, 鄙人就不参与.
    打击日货,贵在坚持. 海外华人可以做出更多的贡献,对中国的经济损失更小.

    https://twitter.com/mujiang/status/247065836853014528

    鄙人只希望您在选择日货的时候,稍微思考一下,回忆一下历史.

    忘记历史的人,没有未来.

    一位加拿大本地白人同事试图帮助我磨灭弱化那悲惨的记忆,说我已经是加拿大人了,何必呢? 
    可我生在中国,流着中国人的血. 这些烙印是我们一辈子没法改变的,只能记住历史,奋发图强,从我做起,自强不息,避免悲剧重演,写出新的文明辉煌的历史.


    1970年12月7日,大雪过后东欧最寒冷的一天. 当时的联邦德国总理维利·勃兰特冒着凛冽的寒风来到华沙犹太人死难者纪念碑下。他向犹太人死难烈士纪念碑敬献花圈后,当他伫立凝视一幅幅受难者浮雕时突然双膝跪在死难烈士纪念碑前湿漉漉的大理石板上, 长跪不起,并发出祈祷:“上帝饶恕我们吧,愿苦难的灵魂得到安宁。”勃兰特以此举向二战中无辜被纳粹党杀害的犹太人表示沉痛哀悼,并虔诚地为纳粹时代的德国认罪、赎罪。

    日本呢? 日本人呢? 他们是不会认罪的. 他们反而颠倒黑白,不承认侵华战争,企图篡改历史.
    对付日本,唯有强大,经济上强大. 然后像美国人一样,靠强大的武力打垮日本,它才会屈服认错.




    好了,希望你抽空,了解一下日本侵华战争. 下次选择日货的时候,不会显得那样麻木.

    國殤(1937-1945)

    不知國殤是何時出版的.國民党由蔣緯國監制的"–寸河山一寸血"可以此片對照看此紀錄片雖係大陸製作,
    內容尚屬公允 ( 數百名抗日犧牲將領名單中,所有均屬國軍,中共僅有左權一人而已。)

    歷史紀錄片:國殤(1937-1945)歷史是一面鏡子 它能照見過去 也能警惕未來..............
    國殤正是中華民族的一面鏡子會看到中華民族近百年來的苦難!

    This is what every Chinese must see.
