On this day, 27 years ago, on May 9, 1998 (April 14, 1998 in the lunar calendar), the Japanese film "Self-Esteem" glorified aggression. Hideki Tojo in "Self-Esteem" On May 9, 1998, a film that glorified Hideki Tojo, Japan's top Class A war criminal, was previewed at the Tokyo Japan Press Club. This is a film that openly appeals to Japanese militarism. The director, out of a reactionary "liberal view of history," denied the fact of aggression, and vigorously promoted the fallacy that "the Pacific War was a war of national liberation." He deliberately tried to mislead the Japanese people about history through this film, so as to arouse the so-called "self-esteem" of the Japanese nation. "Self-Esteem - A Moment of Fate" focuses on the trial of 28 Japanese war criminals by the International Military Tribunal for the Far East from May 3, 1946 to November 12, 1948. From beginning to end, it promotes this historic and fair trial as "the trial of the winner against the loser", and openly declares that "Japan is innocent". The film tries to whitewash Hideki Tojo and deny the "Nanjing Massacre". Through a series of plots, it completely distorts the facts, denies and beautifies the war of aggression launched by Japan. On November 4, 1948, the International Military Tribunal for the Far East held another trial and convicted 25 Japanese war criminals. Among them, Hideki Tojo, Kenji Dohihara, Hiroshi Hiroshi, Itagaki Seishiro, Mubayashi Bintaro, Matsui Ishigen, and Wu Tengzhang were sentenced to hang. At midnight on December 23, 1948, war criminals such as Hideki Tojo were pushed to the gallows, ending their sinful lives. The Japanese Army Buried Chinese Alive in Nanjing The disasters and losses caused by Japan's war of aggression against China to the Chinese people are unprecedented. According to incomplete statistics, under the butcher's knife of the Japanese invading army, the number of casualties in China 35 million, and more than 300,000 people died in the Nanjing Massacre alone. There are also heinous bacterial warfare and chemical warfare. According to the 1937 ratio, the direct economic losses caused by the Japanese invaders to China were 100 billion US dollars, and the indirect economic losses were 500 billion US dollars. The movie "Self-Esteem - Moment of Fate" was funded by the East Nippon House Company and jointly produced by Tokyo Video Production Co., Ltd. and Toei Co., Ltd. Takeshi Nakamura, the president of the East Nippon House, and others openly claimed that "the film should publicize that Japan has not waged a war of aggression." The People's Daily published a commentary on May 15, condemning the film for distorting history and glorifying aggression. The article said that today, more than 50 years after the end of World War II, the production of such a film is obviously a demonstration to the Asian people and a challenge to the international community. The article pointed out that the film explicitly promotes a reactionary view of history, advocating "aggression is innocent," "war is meritorious," and "self-reflection is harmful," in an attempt to overturn the iron case of the Tokyo trial. "This is something that all people who uphold justice, including the Japanese people, will never agree to." "Aggression is not guilty," the article said, referring to a war of aggression as "an act taken by a country to safeguard its own interests." The film also advocates "meritorious war," repeating the old mantra that Japan started the Pacific War to break the "blockade" and that the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor was an "act of self-defense." What's more, it also links the war of aggression launched by Japan to the national liberation movements in India and South East Asia, as if Japan had done something great for the people of Asia. The Japanese army used live people to practice assassination. "This is really the logic of robbers.
