It is so disturbing to be viewing the Nanjing pictures. But it
is also so sad that the younger generation do not even know what
happened. Worse still are the Japanese refuse to admit that such
horrible events were committed by them.
I doubt the youngsters here in singapore know how the condition was
during the japanese occupation except through books, if they are
even bothered. We sure live in better times. How do books bring out
the subjectivity during the times? It's not a wonder for us, those
lucky to still have parents/grandparents alive, who lived through
the occupation, to see the bitterness in their eyes, when the
subject of the occupation is brought up.
