Nanjing and Yangzhou

Saturday October 4, 2008 at 04:42AM

This is my 3rd Chinese National Holiday in People's Republic of China.
This year, I went with her to Nanjing and Yangzhou. Two wonderful chinese cities. I published some photos here and here.
Yangzhou is another great city of China. The city was founded 26 centuries ago, with its oldest known name being Kuang-ling.
In the year 590, Kuang-ling began to be called Yangzhou, which was the traditional name of the entire southeastern part of China. Beginning in the 7th century, Yangzhou was the main commercial city of the Yangzi valley, due to its importance as a canal port, seaport and administrative center.
Nanjing is at 250km from Shanghai and it's the capital of Jiangsu province. In the past it was also the capital of China.
This was also the third time I came to this city but the first time I visited the Memorial Hall of Nanjing Massacre, where in 15 days the Japanese invaders killed 300000 Chinese people in this city. But the Japanese underestimated the courage and strength of the Chinese people. And instead of breaking the people's will, the invasion only served to fuel a sense of identity and determination, and with Mao Zedong and CPC, start to build what China is nowadays.
From all the museums I know, in Europe and here in China, this was definitely the most impressive one.

It's incredible what is happening in China in only 59 years. And to prepare better the future we must not forget or rewrite the past.

It's very important not to forget or rewrite history. And that's why these museums are extremely important. Not to hate Japan or Japanese people but so the rest of the world can understand what happened in China.
Because the rest of the world don't know very well the history of China or Chinese people, they might know the present but the past of China isn't very well explained to the western people.

I agree with you. Generally speaking, I think maybe the government of Japan makes the Japanese people misunderstanding.
I do not hate Jaoanese people, and I am learn Japanese in this term, and actually i am interested in learning the language.
However, the history can not be changed. Maybe the Japanese people hate Chinese people, but i think both Chinese and Japanese people should be friendly.
I also hope more and more Japanese people come to visit China, and I am sure they will see the nice Chinese people, beautiful environment and so on.

I agree completely with you. And it's very nice of you to learn Japanese. I only know "arigato". :)
The attitude of Chinese people about this is a great lesson to all world. Because of their past, Chinese people have all reasons to hate Japan but you don't see that very much here in China.
Hate brings hate, and brings wars. That's not what people need.

The objective of this museum is not to make people hate Japan. Like you said is to live in "peace and harmony" with Japan and all World.
This is really great from China.
