From September 20 to October 22, Professor Zhangsheng, doctoral supervisor of
History Department of Nanjing University and vice-superintendent of Nanjing
Massacre Graduate School and Professor Yang Xiaming of Jiangsu Administration
College went to U.S. National Archives and Records Administration to collect
valuable materials of Nanjing Massacre. At present, a batch of scholars went to
Japan, Germany, Britain and Taiwan to seek for irrefutable evidences of Nanjing
Massacre. They hope to find the detailed historical materials to prove Nanjing
Massacre.
Zhangsheng told the reporter that in 1937, America had cracked the code of
diplomatic information of Japan. In U.S. National Archives and Records
Administration, there are over 10 thousand pages of decoded Japanese diplomatic
files. Experts found a valuable top-secret file. It is a cipher telegram that
Japanese prime minister sent to Japan Embassy in America on January 17, 1938.
"When I came to Shanghai several days ago, I investigated reports of
atrocities by Japanese invaders in Nanjing and other areas. According to
eyewitnesses and some letters, not less than 300 thousand Chinese people were
killed. Robbery, rape, including raping children, the killing stooped before
several weeks. " Zhangsheng said that it was the irrefutable evidence referring
to 300 thousand Nanjing residents killed by Japanese invaders earliest.
Professor Zhangsheng also found many diaries of Japanese soldiers. Zhangsheng
and other scholars think these diaries are proofs of "heroism" of Japanese
soldiers. But Zhangsheng said that these diaries and letters became irrefutable
evidences of Japanese invaders.
In addition, Zhangsheng thinks that there should be the Memorial Halls of the
Victims in Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders in other cities besides in
Nanjing. In America and Europe, memorials of "slaughter by Nazi" are set up in
many cities. |
