Chapter 1: The Beloved Passes Away (1)

Next Chapter

Run!

Non-stop running!

At the end of the road is an endless river, a wide river that Yu Sheng's northern city does not have!

The figures behind him are one after another, as if chasing them. His feet seemed to be stuck in the mud, and he struggled to walk. And whose hand is it in his hand?

Yu Sheng woke up suddenly! It's this dream again! Ever since he could remember, his dreams have been haunting him. Yu Sheng saw a psychiatrist, who only said that he was under too much pressure and asked him to relax.

But he, the rich second generation who sleeps until twelve o'clock every day, has a fart pressure!

If there is, it is because of the excellent genetics and the fact that he looks relatively fresh and delicious, and there are often people of all ages and all kinds of looks who are entangled with his little fresh meat, making it difficult for him to choose......

It is estimated that Freud had the same experience as him back then, so he used the needs of every creature to analyze all dreams and psychological phenomena.

When Yu Sheng woke up, it was five in the morning. He got up, packed his packages, hailed a taxi and went to the train station alone. This is a self-guided tour that he has already planned the time and route, a solo journey to Nanjing.

Although he is a rich second generation, he doesn't like to fly on planes with many beautiful flight attendants. Airplanes shorten the time to travel distances, which is convenient and makes travel less fun. And the fun of traveling, in addition to the scenery along the way, isn't it the long time used to cross the distance?

Yu Sheng went to Nanjing, not because he wanted to be baked in one of China's four major furnaces this summer, but because of a photo. A photograph exhibited in the Memorial Hall of the Nanjing Massacre Victims of the Japanese Invasion of China and quoted by a website.

The photo shows broken walls and ruins, and the flames of war are raging. The bodies of the massacred Chinese were discarded haphazardly on the side of the road. The Japanese soldier raised his knife and laughed, and under the knife was a Chinese with his head decapitated. The blood on the blade is rendered in absolute darkness by the black and white photo!

When Yu Sheng saw this photo from the webpage, his heart was touched! Not only because of the atrocities of the massacre and the death of his compatriots, but also because of the ruins in the photograph that had appeared in his dreams! Even, the face of the Chinese under the knife is familiar!

And he was sure that this picture was the first time he had seen it in his life!

The world in the photo is so familiar! The strong desire that welled up in his heart made him involuntarily set a trip to Nanjing!

Yu Sheng does not believe in the so-called parallel worlds and multi-dimensional time and space. No matter how human beings toss in their own society, the passage of time and space between the universe cannot be changed because of people's choices about their own destiny.

Time is the only one, go and not go back!

His familiarity with the scene in the photo made Yu Sheng feel strange. When he was half-asleep and half-awake, he could even describe the appearance of the ruins of the ruins before they were intact, could effortlessly sketch the appearance of the street where the ruins were located, and could effortlessly build a bustling downtown with people coming and going!

He can even clearly outline the faces of many people in this busy city! And call out the name of the Chinese who was in a different place under the Japanese soldier's saber!

Such clarity and familiarity can no longer be explained by imagination! Yu Sheng knew very well that he did not have the imagination of a novelist and was not familiar with Nanjing.

Even when all the details flashed in my mind, the brain did not have the slightest feeling of nervousness when it was used, and everything came out of the bottom of my mind naturally......

These are like memories! A long memory! Perhaps, it was a past life?

I woke up too early, so Yu Sheng was still groggy when he sat on the train. Thoughts flashed messily until the train arrived in Nanjing.

When Yu Sheng got off the train, the first thing he did was to go to the Memorial Hall of the Nanjing Massacre Victims of the Japanese Invasion of China to look for the photo quoted on the website. It was the tourist season, the taxi was very slow along the way, and when you bypassed the Summer Palace, the combination of Chinese and Western architecture in the Republic of China evoked memories, and landslides and tsunamis surged in!

Countless images, like bubbles in Coke, surged up and shattered rapidly, without any interval! Countless strange things, countless strange people, the clothes of the Republic of China, and the decorations of the Republic of China, are fleeting and vague in memory!

Yu Sheng got out of the taxi in a hurry. When I saw the Nanjing Massacre Monument shaped like a cross, I saw it!

The Memorial Hall of the Nanjing Massacre of the Japanese Invasion of China comprehensively displays the historical relics of the Nanjing Massacre. It is divided into three ways: sub-square display, bone display, and historical material display. The square is composed of three parts: the memorial square, the memorial square, and the cemetery square.

The photo Yu Sheng was looking for was in the historical exhibition hall shaped like a tomb.

In this exhibition hall, the photos of the Japanese army massacre scene, various archives, and various written records written by witnesses are mainly displayed. and testimonies and physical objects provided by survivors.

Written records and post-war confessions of Japanese officers and soldiers who participated in the Nanjing Massacre.

Groups such as Chongshantang and the Red Cross, which rescued Chinese civilians in the Nanjing Massacre, counted and photographed the number of dead. and the verdicts and photographs of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East and the China Tribunal after the war against the main culprits of the Nanjing Massacre, Matsui Ishine and Toshio Tani.

Various artifacts provided by foreigners in Shanghai at that time, Rabe's diary, a 16mm video camera and 4 film reels provided by John Magee. This is the most objective and authentic video of the Nanjing Massacre. The humiliating death of the Chinese in those years was recorded.

As well as military items left behind by the Japanese invading army, gasoline drums, "good citizen certificates", "commemorative medals of the Shina Incident", alarms, belts, leggings, safes, Japanese military flags, military uniforms, military blankets, steel helmets, command knives, machine guns, grenades, artillery shells, poison gas bombs......

All evidence is true and cannot be erased.

Yu Sheng stood in front of the photos Chen listed. This scene of death, this scene of slaughter is so clear in my mind. There were several sets of photos that seemed to come to life in his mind, and he knew the names, addresses, and families of these people, who seemed to have been his neighbors, neighbors, classmates, friends, and acquaintances......

They live peacefully, they rejoice, they struggle to survive, they die in agony......

Yu Sheng is here, not knowing whether his memory is true or false. After all, none of the photographs and exhibits recorded anything related to him!

But if it's just an illusion, where does the vivid memories, vivid images, incomparable details, and immersive anger come from in the mind?

It wasn't until the museum closed at half past four in the afternoon that Yu Sheng left belatedly.

The recorded massacre made Yu Sheng furious, but Yu Sheng could not do anything about the past history.
