0395 Indomitable Prisoner of War House
"That's a bit of a lot." Wang Liang suddenly realized that he seemed to have started the old man's chattering mode again, and couldn't help but apologize to everyone: "I'm sorry, friends, I'm so excited." Let's move on to the pavilion. ”
No one blames Wang Liang, and no one thinks that what Wang Liang said about Lambga and the products that became popular because of World War II are superfluous.
Seriously, it sounds like there's still some fun in it.
Ma Xiaogang felt that he had benefited a lot, and the old chief had said so much, which provided a lot of ideas and materials for his future creations.
This is much more reliable than asking those brainless screenwriters who have no experience to write scripts.
Fan Jianguo can be regarded as having opened his eyes today and gained knowledge.
Everyone is improving, and the concept of understanding is being renewed.
Wang Liang asked: "Jianguo, the next one should be the prisoner of war hall, right?" ”
"Yes, uncle. Indomitable Prisoner of War Pavilion. Fan Jianguo nodded.
Among the many pavilions, this is the one that Fan Jianguo is most reluctant to go.
He didn't even want to linger in it for a second.
Because, this pavilion, there is a kind of magic.
It is the only museum in China and in the world dedicated to prisoners of war.
The Indomitable Prisoner of War Museum mainly uses a large number of very precious historical photos and cultural relics, using oppressive colors and heavy materials, to vividly and truly display the heroic and unyielding and tragic experiences of the anti-Japanese soldiers who were captured due to the exhaustion of ammunition and food; The crimes of torture of prisoners by the Japanese army were exposed.
Walking to the open-air entrance of the Indomitable Prisoner of War Hall, Wang Liang suddenly stopped: "They were all once the Chinese nation's fighters against the enemy, but their historical role and historical contributions have not been taken seriously, and they have been buried by history for a long time. ”
"Their arduous battles, heroic sacrifices, and sufferings are part of the heavy price paid by the Chinese nation for its victory in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression 60 years ago, and it is a history that deserves to be squarely faced forever."
After saying this, Wang Liang took that heavy step.
The design of the Indomitable Prisoner of War Pavilion breaks the traditional architectural generation techniques, drawing on natural mountain stones to produce wrinkles and cracks under the action of external forces, but still maintains a neat and sharp form, in order to metaphorize the steadfast character of the indomitable prisoners of war.
In the tortuous and changing spatial sequence, narrow alleys, cages, and wind courtyards are deliberately arranged, and the distorted exhibition space, the wall ceiling without any decoration, and the light environment created by high windows, lighting holes, and small patios are combined with the exhibition pictures to create a pathetic and heavy atmosphere.
Countless people shed tears when they walked into this building.
The entire sequence of architectural spaces ends with a calm water courtyard, where people can reflect on and re-examine the fate of this special group of prisoners of war.
The entrance to the POW Hall is open-air, and the walls on both sides of the winding walkway are covered with photos of prisoners of war.
Fan Jianguo said: "Because I feel that being a prisoner is a stain. These people may only have one photo in their lives, that is, it was taken by the Japanese before they were killed, they died, and their relatives did not dare to say it, this is a large group of millions of people! Just ignored and forgotten! It's sad to think about. ”
Wang Liang nodded.
He understands it too well.
Walking to the photos on both sides of the wall, there are many familiar faces.
But there are also some who are unfamiliar and do not have their names on the photo.
Oh, yes.
That was the only time they left a video in the world, and it was taken by the Japanese.
After that, they were brutally killed.
During the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, there has been no accurate answer to how many Chinese soldiers became prisoners of war of the Japanese army.
No one has the courage to say an accurate number.
Wang Liang even feels sad sometimes.
Stupid Kuomintang, stupid Chang Kaishen.
Why are they called stupid?
For 10 years after the September 18 Incident in 1931, China and Japan did not declare the severance of diplomatic relations, nor did they declare a state of war.
It was not until the outbreak of the Pacific War in December 1941 that the Chang Kaishen government officially declared war on Japan under the "orders" of the "American father".
Therefore, the Chinese soldiers who were captured by the Japanese devils during this period did not give these soldiers the status of "prisoners of war" on the grounds that the two sides did not declare war.
Not to mention abiding by the Geneva Accords' agreement on the good treatment of prisoners of war, so that Chinese prisoners of war can be treated humanely.
Unlike the Chinese government, which sent almost all of the surrendered Japanese prisoners of war back to China after the end of World War II, the vast majority of Chinese prisoners of war were mutilated to death or killed by Japanese devils throughout the War of Resistance Against Japan.
In addition to being tortured and killed, a large number of Chinese prisoners of war were used as coolies by the Japanese army.
No matter how windy or rainy, every day he had to be escorted to carry coal, build roads, and open mines, and the work hours were as long as twelve or thirteen hours.
Wang Liang remembered that the Japanese devils forced Chinese prisoners of war to build the iron bridge over the Yellow River.
Because of chronic overwork, the mortality rate in the camps and on the construction site was extremely high.
Every morning there a carriage would pull out the tortured captives.
Find a place, dig a big hole, and bury it on the spot.
Another way is to draw blood, the Japanese army specially selected young and strong blood to make a blood bank for Japanese soldiers, and many prisoners of war died due to excessive blood loss.
The torture of the female captives was even worse and unimaginable.
During the day, he kept washing and grinding, and he had no time to rest, and at night he had to suffer all kinds of humiliation from Japanese animals.
There is also the 731st Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Unit of the Japanese Army Invading China.
Thousands of prisoners of war were transported there and subjected to live experiments.
Bacterial infections are fatal.
Frostbite to death.
Death due to organ removal.
Gassing to death.
I didn't make it up out of thin air.
The photographs on the wall that hit people's hearts are the best proof of this.
Wang Liang felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart.
He didn't dare to look at the faces.
Painful, or fearless, calmly smiling, serious, helpless......
The reason why Wang Liang didn't dare to look at it was because he failed to avenge them.
Kill all the damn brutes.
Why hang these photos of prisoners of war in the open air?
Fan Jianguo's meaning is too obvious, in the past, these prisoners of war were unwilling to be mentioned, and they have been buried, and only now that people are willing to publicize them and see the light of day, so these photos should be hung in the open air.
Let them, martyrs, see the light of day again.
Anti-captive.
Wang Liang didn't want to call them prisoners, Wang Liang preferred to call them prisoners.
A Chinese soldier who was captured by the Japanese devils in the War of Resistance Against Japan.
Wang Liang felt that only the word "resisting prisoners" could vividly depict the image of this group and show their spiritual outlook and even their soul vividly.
