南京大屠殺死難者國家公祭日

N:校長、各位老師、同學,大家好。   H:大家還記得上個月的主題閱讀文章嗎?   A:記得,是德國人拉貝在日軍侵華期間,在南京拯救平民的故事。   N:是呀!就讓我說說當時發生的事情吧!在1937年12月13日佔領南京後,屠殺中國人的行動持續了六個星期。在一個半月內就有 30 萬人被殺,三分之一的南京城被日軍縱火燒毀。 於 1937 年 12月13 日的同一天,<東京日日新聞> 報導兩名日本軍官的「殺人競賽」,日軍第十六師團中島部隊兩個少尉軍官向井敏明和野田毅在其長官鼓勵下,彼此相約「殺人競賽」,以誰先殺滿 100 人為勝者,最後共殺了 211人。   H:這段歷史真教人悲痛。我們寫了心意卡感謝拉貝無私的救人行為,不知國家又怎樣悼念死者呢?   A:原來國家在十年前,即第十二屆全國人大常委會中通過,為紀念日本侵華戰爭中的中國受害者與死難者,由2014年起訂下每年的12月13日為公祭日,以悼念南京大屠殺中的死難者。   N:所以今天是中國第十個南京大屠殺死難者國家公祭日。 今日為當年南京死難者作公祭,意義在於拒絕遺忘。86年過去了,日本右翼勢力不僅並未反省過去的野蠻暴行,甚至徹底否認和美化侵略歷史。他們妄圖通過「修憲」、增加軍事實力等方法死灰復燃。幸好,多年以來始終有人堅持站在正義一方,傳播歷史真相。所以我們仍不斷提醒自己要銘記歷史,不僅是為了警醒現在的人們,更是為了警惕日本軍國主義死灰復燃,不讓歷史重演,絕對有必要繼續認清南京大屠殺的歷史真相,所謂前事不忘,後事之師。   Chinese History Club 13 December 2023
