"Next, let's invite Mr. Tang Yuan, a patriotic businessman, to give a speech on stage......

Half an hour after the donation ceremony began, after Xing Yaowen and others took the stage to deliver speeches, the highlight of the donation ceremony was finally ushered in.

As the host's voice fell, the eyes of everyone at the scene and the lenses in the hands of the media reporters were all aimed at Tang Yuan.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Tang Yuan stood up calmly and walked towards the high platform in front of him.

The tailor-made black tunic set off Tang Yuan's excellent figure to the fullest, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, a burly body, and a young man in his prime, exuding endless vitality from top to bottom, handsome and handsome.

Today, Tang Yuan's face was solemn and solemn, and he quickly walked to the center of the high platform.

At this moment, the scene was extremely quiet, even so quiet that Tang Yuan could hear the wind chimes hanging from the treetops in the distance.

Facing the attention of everyone, Tang Yuan did not speak immediately, but turned around silently and bowed deeply towards the Memorial Hall of the Jinling Massacre of the Japanese Invasion of China behind him.

"...... Uproar"

Tang Yuan's move alone made many Jinling citizens at the scene can't help but applaud.

The applause lasted for about ten seconds, and then quickly disappeared, and now the original silence was restored, and everyone was looking forward to what kind of speech Tang Yuan, who had just finished angrily denouncing the Japanese reporter in London, would give here.

"Hello everyone, I'm Tang Yuan."

"Today is a special day, September 18th."

"I think every Chinese here knows very well what this day means."

"On September 18, 1931, the Japanese army brazenly launched military aggression and occupied the Northeast by force, thus beginning the 14-year history of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression."

……

Tang Yuan's voice was transmitted through microphones and stereos throughout the entire Memorial Hall of the Jinling Massacre of the Japanese Invasion of China, and then to all parts of the country through electronic signals.

At this moment, all the digital media screens in Jinling are broadcasting the donation ceremony, countless pedestrians stand silently, and countless tourists stop to watch.

The counter sister in the mall, holding a mobile phone to watch; The staff in the office building, watching with a computer; The old man in the teahouse, looking at the TV and watching......

At this moment, Tang Yuan's figure appeared in the eyes of countless people.

Tang Yuan's friends are watching, Tang Yuan's elders are watching, Tang Yuan's classmates are watching, Tang Yuan's lover is watching, and Tang Yuan's staff are watching......

On the Internet, public opinion is still fermenting, and the storm is still continuing.

The live broadcast opened by Suzhou Provincial Satellite TV on Weibo, the number of real-time viewers has exceeded five million at this time, and all kinds of barrages and comments are like waterfalls, and the number is enough to make any traffic star feel jaw-dropping.

……

"After yesterday, a close friend called me and asked me if it was worth it?"

"My answer is just two words: it's worth it!"

"But just after I walked into this memorial hall, after I saw the reliefs and sculptures, I felt a sense of shame in my heart."

"Why be ashamed?"

"Because when my best friend asked me that question yesterday, I hesitated for five seconds."

"At this moment, if that best friend asks again, I don't think I will have any more hesitation."

……

Tang Yuan's voice gradually became more sonorous and powerful, and the emotions contained in his voice also became more and more full.

Before the plane landed, he had a simple idea of a speech in his mind, just in case of trouble, for use in the speech on stage.

However, when Tang Yuan stood on this high platform, he found that the speech he had prepared was really too pale and weak.

The various things in the memorial hall made Tang Yuan's mind constantly roll over the pictures recorded in the album, and he had a strong desire not to vomit or be unhappy.

He wanted to say something!

……

"December 13, this is undoubtedly a day that has caused pain to countless Chinese, it is a history that needs to be remembered continuously, 82 years ago on December 13, the Japanese army brazenly invaded Jinling, and then in the more than 40 days of horrific massacre, 300,000 compatriots were brutally killed!"

"One historian once estimated that if all the victims of the Jinling Massacre stood hand in hand, the procession could stretch from Jinling to Hangzhou, a total distance of about 300 kilometers, the total weight of their blood could reach 1,200 tons, and their bodies could fill 2,500 train cars!"

"That period of bitter history, the blood and tears of broken mountains and rivers, the tragedy of human suffering, and the pain full of devastation, I believe that engraved in the heart of every Chinese constitute the common memory of our entire nation!"

"There is no doubt that the Jinling Massacre is the darkest page in the entire history of human civilization, but have the murderers who committed heinous crimes realized their mistakes? Have they acknowledged this history head-on? Have they apologized to our 300,000 lost compatriots? ”

"Nope!"

"They never have!"

……

Speaking of this, Tang Yuan couldn't help but think of the picture he borrowed for the first time from the 20th-century East Asian photo album at Christie's auction house headquarters.

On that day, he and Yanagawa Yuliang passed by.

On that day, Yanagawa Yuliang finished reading the album with a smile.

The slaughter of countless compatriots, in the eyes of Yanagawa Xiongliang, was the glory of their Yanagawa family, and he did not feel the slightest guilt, and even took pride in it.

What does this mean?

This shows that since Yanagawa Yuliang was born, the Yanagawa family has taught him in this way, even if Yanagawa Heisuke was named a war criminal, the Yanagawa family has not repented in the past 80 years.

This is true of Yuliang Yanagawa and the same is true of Kimiyama Matsui.

The Koizumi family, the Mitsubishi Chamber of Commerce, etc., who helped the Yanagawa family and the Matsui family compete for the album set, are also the same in Tang Yuan's opinion.

The 300,000 unjust souls in Jinling have not been able to get a solemn apology to this day.

How can it be forgiven?

How can you forgive!

……

"It has been 82 years since the Jinling Massacre."

"Today, many Japanese politicians, university teachers, and industrial leaders still ignore the existence of a large number of facts, insist that the Jinling Massacre never happened, and they do not want the world to know about their ugly crimes, so they have begun to distort history with ulterior motives."

"For decades, they have purged their textbooks of references to the Jinling Massacre, removed photographs of the Jinling Massacre from exhibition halls, destroyed original sources, and removed any traces of the massacre from popular culture."

"This time, they sent a delegation to London to compete with us for this album, just to bury the contents of this album forever in the dark, so that it will never see the light of day."

"Why are they?"

"Because they have a weak heart!"

"Because they're afraid!"

"But ......"

"The more they do this, the more I want to bring this album back, and I want to make the contents of this album public, so that all the people of the world can see how atrocious the heinous crimes they have committed!"

"At this moment, these 300,000 unjust souls under our feet, they can't speak!"

"But ......"

"We carry history on our shoulders, but we can speak out!"

"I believe that justice will come ......"

"It will come!"
