Historical information:

Wang Xiaoting (1900-1981), a native of Beijing, was a "star-level" photojournalist at that time.

This photo is more famous than Wang Xiaoting himself. In that troubled year of 1937, 130 million people around the world saw this photo. After the "August 13th" Incident in 1937, the Battle of Songhu broke out. On August 28, Japanese planes bombed the Shanghai South Railway Station. The bomb killed more than 200 women and children waiting for the train, and the entire station was reduced to ruins. At that time, Chinese photojournalist Wang Xiaoting, who was working for Hearst News in the United States, witnessed at the scene: a child covered in blood sitting on the railway track and crying. He used his last bit of film to capture this moment. These films were released for only ten seconds, so he intercepted one of the shots to become the picture above. The film was sent to Manila by a U.S. Navy warship and then to New York by plane. Two weeks later, it was published on the cover of Life magazine, which has great influence in the United States. Communication scholars analyzed that such a publicly released photo powerfully influenced American public opinion at the time and aroused strong international repercussions. Since Shanghai South Station was far away from the war zone and did not have any military facilities, Japan's bombing was completely targeted at innocent civilians. President Roosevelt immediately protested to Japan, and various countries also condemned Japan's actions. Faced with the pressure of international public opinion, Japan falsely claimed that the pilot mistook the platform for Chinese troops on mobilization, so the bombing occurred by mistake. At the same time, the Japanese army offered a high reward to capture Wang Xiaoting. He was forced to flee to Hong Kong. In addition to this "Children under Japanese Air Raid at Shanghai South Station", most of the image materials of the Songhu Battle that people can see today were also created by Wang Xiaoting. His son Wang Jianlong recalled: Shanghai was under artillery fire and was bombed by the Japanese almost every day, sometimes multiple times a day. My father carried a movie camera for filming news documentaries every day. He also had four or five cameras hanging on his body and ran around the war zone. At that time, most of the battlefield photos published in various newspapers in Shanghai were taken by his lens. Wang Xiaoting said in his later memoirs: I ran around shooting all day long. Try to use your camera to record the turbulent Chinese society. Wang Jianlong remembered that his father left early and came home late every day. Sometimes he was very excited when he came back, and sometimes he didn't want to talk when he came back. "Every day he photographed the dead and dying people he saw on the ground, and he felt very sad." One day, Wang Xiaoting returned home and was in a bad mood because he went to photograph the bloody battle of the eight hundred warriors in Sihang Warehouse. , seeing the soldiers fall one by one. This historical fact is: On October 27, 1937, Xie Jinyuan, commander of the 524th Regiment of the 262nd Brigade of the 88th Division, was ordered to lead the main force of the regiment into the Sihang Warehouse on the north bank of the Suzhou River to perform a blocking mission, and fought bloody battles with the Japanese army for 4 days and 4 nights. At that time, Chinese and foreign people watching the battle from across the bank discovered that there was a person carrying a camera appearing in the hail of bullets. This is Wang Xiaoting. However, this is already a vague name. The author first asked a famous photojournalist. He patted his forehead and said, Wang Xiaoting, the photo he took of the Japanese bombing of Shanghai Railway Station is very famous. But he went on to say that no matter how many more there are, he doesn’t know. He recommended an old gentleman in the photojournalism world to the author. When the old man heard Wang Xiaoting's name, he said simply: "I don't know him well. However, Wu Qun, who specialized in the history of Chinese photography, has passed away. He published an article in the magazine "History of Photography", It's called 'Wang Xiaoting, the most active battlefield photojournalist in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War'." He pulled out this issue of the magazine. Read it to reporters. The article is very short and has no personal background about Wang Xiaoting. The focus is on quoting the records in "History of Photography" edited by Jiang Qisheng to introduce the famous photo. "Anyway, the information I have here is very limited. There is very little about Wang Xiaoting. I think Wu Qun has collected as much as possible, that's all." He finally said. A senior person from the China Photographers Association told reporters that there is indeed not much information about Wang Xiaoting in mainland China at present. Even if there are many inquiries, "it is probably enough." Because Wang Xiaoting later came to the United States and died in Taipei. "We still know about Wang Xiaoting's photo today because it was so well taken. In fact, we have never seen many photos of the Anti-Japanese War at that time." He sighed. In his view, our history of Anti-Japanese War photography is "missing half" because "we pay more attention to the photography of the Eighth Route Army, but there is basically no photography in the Kuomintang-controlled areas." Recently, a publishing house published a collection of historical photos. When he looked at it, he found that many of the photos had never been seen before. After asking around, I found out that the editor was from Taiwan and "many of the photos were brought from Taiwan." People today no longer know Wang Xiaoting, but they only know a little bit of information about him. Someone was moved by him and wrote this: "Please remember him, Wang Xiaoting. A photographer who recorded hell. Remember his greatness, his truth, his cruelty, and his unspeakable tenderness."< /p>

Shanghai is the largest city in China, with developed industry and bustling streets. After the "July 7th Incident", the Japanese aggressors launched the "August 13th Incident" in Shanghai out of the need to expand the war of aggression against China. The Japanese military headquarters successively mobilized 200,000 troops to attack Shanghai, and at the same time dispatched more than 100 aircraft to repeatedly carry out devastating bombings on Shanghai. On the afternoon of August 14, 1937, Japanese planes bombed Shanghai.

A bomb fell on the Bund of Nanjing Road, destroying Chinachem Hotel and Huizhong Hotel. Bodies were littered along Nanjing Road. Among the remains of bombed buildings, the injured were crushed underneath, moaning and screaming. The victims of the bombing were mangled with blood and flesh, and their limbs were mutilated. A few minutes later, the intersection of Yuqiagliao Road and Aidoya Road was also bombed. This area is also one of the bustling areas of Shanghai, with many refugees gathering on both sides of the road. The bomb fell here, and most of the nearby houses were blown up or collapsed. More than 20 cars parked on the roadside all caught fire. Electric cables were blown off and fell to the ground, causing fires, making the disaster even more tragic. The severed limbs of the bombed victims were scattered everywhere, and the streets were stained red with blood.

In this bombing, the Communist Party killed 1,742 innocent civilians, injured 1,873 people, and destroyed and burned houses and properties that are incalculable. At noon on August 23, 1937, Japanese planes bombed the downtown area of ??Nanjing Road and Zhejiang Road. Xianshi Company was bombed, wires were broken, and many fires broke out. 215 people were killed. A young mother was lying in a pool of blood with her arms in her arms. The child only had two bloody feet left. In addition, more than 570 people were killed.

At 2 pm on August 28 of the same year, Japanese planes bombed the Shanghai South Railway Station wildly. Shanghai originally had two stations, north and south. After the "August 13th" incident, the north station was in a war zone and traffic was completely cut off. The south station became the only exit for land transportation. At that time, refugees from Shanghai and its surrounding areas flocked to flee, and the South Station was overcrowded. The first batch of four Japanese planes dropped bombs on the South Station, killing more than 500 refugees. After a while, eight more Japanese planes flew over the South Station and dropped bombs, killing more than 200 people. The station overpass, platform, and railway tracks were blown to pieces, and the ground was covered with charred and mutilated corpses. The platform was strewn with corpses, covered with lead and wooden boards. Many women who were killed in the bombing hugged their children without heads or limbs in the square. The incendiary bombs thrown by Japanese planes caused the station and the Waijieqi and Zhengjiaqiao outside the station to burst into flames. For a time, smoke filled the air, cries broke out, and everything was devastated. It was too horrible to see. Shanghai South Railway Station is far away from the firefighting area and has no military facilities at all. The Chinese army's bombing of the South Railway Station was completely a planned and brutal massacre.

On September 18, Japanese planes bombed Yangshupu and other places in the East District of Shanghai, dropping multiple incendiary bombs, causing factories and residential areas in that area to be covered in fire and causing heavy losses. At 8 o'clock in the morning that day, the building of Yihe Cotton Mill was shot, and the hemp machine immediately caught fire. Then the public residences on East Broadway Road and Fair Road were shot, and the fire quickly spread. In addition, fires raged in industrial and residential areas such as the Zhaofeng Road warehouse, a residential area on Broadway Road East, and the Peilin Egg Factory, and were burned to scorched earth.

Under the indiscriminate bombing by Japanese planes day and night, Shanghai was severely damaged. There were 92 cultural and educational institutions and schools attacked by Japanese planes alone (some of which were bombed and shelled), of which 75% were completely destroyed. Many medical and health facilities were also bombed. For example, on August 18th and 19th, the Japanese army bombed Zhiru Southeast Medical College and the Nanxiang Red Cross Third Rescue Team, which were flying huge red cross flags.

As for the destruction of Shanghai by bombing, here is an excerpt from a report in Shanghai's "Miller Review Weekly" on March 19, 1938, which can be clearly understood: "At least 100,000 stores were destroyed, including Including the shopkeepers' houses and properties. These shops were burned, bombed, bombed, or looted. If we drive through Hongkou, Yangshupu, Zhabei, and Nanshi, we will see that the streets on both sides are completely empty. The ruins often extend for several miles. After the "Songhu War" in 1932, there was considerable damage in an area of ??about one mile wide and two miles long. This time, it is not surprising that there is often nothing left in an area of ??more than three kilometers. . In many places, the damage is beyond description. Countless small shops and houses near the Lianglu Administration Bureau were bombed and completely destroyed. "

More than sixty years ago, a title The photo of "Children Under Japanese Air Raid on Shanghai South Station" shocked the world. In the picture, a child covered in blood is sitting on the tracks of the ruins of the train station, crying in fear. This photo was taken by the famous news photographer Wang Xiaoting. It is highly praised in the domestic and foreign press and photography circles and is known as a classic of war themes. Photos carry very rich connotations, and there are many stories surrounding them that are worth remembering forever.

During the "August 13" Songhu Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese army dispatched more than 100 aircraft to bomb the city of Shanghai indiscriminately. Large areas of bustling neighborhoods were reduced to ruins, and countless people were displaced and became refugees.

Since the Shanghai North Railway Station was caught in the war, the South Railway Station became the main land channel. Chinese and foreign charity groups rescued and repatriated refugees for days. Thousands of people arrived every day, and the inside and outside of the station were crowded with fleeing people.

On August 28, 1937, the Japanese army claimed that it would bomb this area because Chinese troops gathered in Nanshi. At 2:10 p.m., six bombers, guided by two reconnaissance aircraft, flew over the South Station. The Jiangxi Guild Hall was repatriating a large number of Gan refugees, and other refugees were also arriving in droves. About 1,800 people were waiting at the South Railway Station, including many women and children. The planes continued dive bombing and dropped more than 20 bombs, killing more than 250 refugees and injuring more than 500 people. The Shanghai-Hangzhou railway transportation hub was completely destroyed. Shanghai's "Li Bao" recorded the following: "The station building, overpass, water tower, and carriage house were blown up on the spot. At the same time, the refugees waiting on the platform to leave Shanghai were all killed. The number of casualties reached six to seven hundred. The deceased lay on the ground, injured. The victim turned sideways and screamed, stumps of limbs and heads were everywhere, and blood flowed into channels... The scene could not be more miserable.

”

Faced with overwhelming criticism from international public opinion after the incident, Japan was in a panic. The South Station area is far away from the crossfire area and does not have any military facilities. A reporter from Zilin West News patrolled the streets of Nanshi and confirmed Not a single Chinese soldier was seen. The Japanese military argued that it was a "accidental bombing", claiming that the pilot mistook the train station warehouse for an arsenal and mistook the waiting refugees for mobilizing troops. In fact, the South Station has long been known to deport refugees. , the Japanese army also knew the situation of the South Station and its surroundings very well, and the so-called "accidental bombing" was just an attempt to cover up the truth. The Japanese, who were at a loss for words, claimed that the photo was forged by Wang Xiaoting for anti-Japanese propaganda.

Photo background: After the bombing. , the child was crying beside the railway track due to fright and pain, and then the adult carried the boy over, put the boy down to hug the child, the adult settled the child, and then came back to hug the boy.

In the three photos, the child is crying The howling picture is the most shocking. It is a blood and tearful accusation against the invaders for their cruelty to young creatures.

In 1943, Soong Meiling gave propaganda speeches in the United States and Canada and achieved great success. Aid funds and supplies flew like snowflakes. Many of them were donated to children in need.

"Children Under Japanese Air Raid at Shanghai South Station" is a testimony of Japan's invasion of China. This tragic picture is a reflection of the Chinese nation's suffering from the war. In microcosm, this child is a typical example of thousands of suffering children. Wang Xiaoting risked his life to take pictures during the war, capturing this soul-shaking moment, nailing the invaders to the pillar of shame forever, and also revealing the profound significance of mankind's anti-fascist war. , history will remember this moment.

The Lonely Child

On August 28, 1937, it was dark and the sun was covered with layers. The dark clouds covered the scene, but the Shanghai South Railway Station was still bustling. People preparing to take the train did not notice at all that a small group of heavily armed Japanese soldiers were approaching the entrance of the train station. He was holding a submachine gun inside and a bullet bag hanging on his waist, and he quickly scanned the busy people around him with his wolf-like eyes.

Suddenly, a man who looked like a commander raised his submachine gun and pointed it at him. The noisy crowd fired shots, and several young people at the ticket gate were so frightened by the sudden attack that they fell into a pool of blood. Some of the children sitting and playing in front of the platform were timid. , was so frightened that they burst into tears; some of the brave ones fled in all directions. The entire train station was shrouded in fear, and there was a murderous aura in the air.

Along with the "buzz". With a buzzing sound, several bow-tie fighter jets of different colors and shapes were flying towards here. They were seen hovering over the train station like a few ferocious eagles, dropping a few bombs, and then flew away. The South Railway Station, which was bustling just an hour ago, instantly turned into ruins.

Childish cries came one after another from the ruins of the South Railway Station, and a little boy was seen sitting on the ground splattered with blood, crying helplessly. He was dressed in ragged clothes, and his thin body supported his big head. He was obviously another poor child with malnutrition. He is a poor child, but also the luckiest child. When the enemy plane dropped the bomb, the young parents pressed their sleeping child under their bodies and provided him with a place of refuge with their own lives. A few minutes later, a steel plate fell squarely on the couple...

When the child woke up, he could not find his parents among the unrecognizable corpses around him. The child may have realized that the person who loves him most has left him, and he doesn't know what else to do except cry.

This is a small fragment of the disasters that war has brought to mankind. Of course, the poor child was taken in by a kind passerby. When he grew up, the child appealed to people all over the world: "For the children not to lose their father, for the wife not to lose her husband, for the old man not to lose his son, all the people in the world The people should act in unison to sound the death knell for war in the new twenty-first century and make the world a true home for mankind."

When the footsteps of spring approach us, we will stretch our arms. Open your arms and wait quietly. When the guns of war sound again, we must pray with our hearts. In the spring breeze, people all over the world can bathe in the sunshine of peace and love

The cries brought by war

On August 28, 1937, Japanese planes bombed the Shanghai South Railway Station, killing more than 200 people and injuring countless others. A couple brought a newborn baby to the Shanghai Railway Station to take a train, and encountered Japanese invaders who bombed Shanghai. TRAIN STATION.

The Shanghai Railway Station that day was bombed into a "garbage dump." The couple, despite their injuries, remained protective of their children. While being chased by the Japanese invaders, the child's father gave his precious life to protect his wife and child.

The mother and son were so sad that their faces were filled with tears. The son seemed to know that his father had passed away and cried louder than his mother. His cry was like lightning and thunder. At this moment, the baby's mother vaguely heard the footsteps of the Japanese invaders approaching, but the mother was so tired that her feet were numb, and she was injured and could no longer walk.

The great maternal love gave the mother strength and made her run. Because she ran very slowly, the Japanese invaders shot the mother in the foot. The mother was killed alive. The child seemed to be crying: "Dad, Mom, come back quickly, come back quickly, son, I need you, come back quickly!"

The mother seemed to have heard her son's cry. She opened her eyes hard and said: "My good boy, you must survive. In the future, you will defeat the Japanese invaders, avenge your father and mother, add glory to the Communist Party of China, and let foreigners know that we, China You are not that easy to bully! Mom and dad will always love you and bless you forever. Goodbye, my son." After saying that, the mother had closed her eyes and stopped breathing. The incident scarred the newborn baby forever, and he became an orphan. This baby hates the Japanese invaders. Why did they kill my parents? Why did they invade China? When I grow up, I must inherit my mother's legacy, defeat the Japanese invaders, and give the Japanese some color to show them. We Chinese are amazing.

Why is there war in the world? Where has the God of Peace gone? Why do newborn babies lose their parents? Why do beautiful train stations become "garbage dumps"? Why, why?

Children in War

On August 28, 1937, Japanese invaders bombed the Shanghai South Railway Station.

With a loud "boom", the waiting room of the train station collapsed instantly. Thousands of people in the station were panic-stricken, running away, screaming, crying, and they were in chaos. Suddenly, smoke billowed and flesh and blood flew everywhere.

At this time, a child's cry came from the ruins and debris of the bombed waiting room. After hearing the sound, a three or four-year-old boy was sitting in the ruins, surrounded by people. It was a bloody corpse, and his body was also splattered with blood. The boy was obviously frightened by everything happening around him. His face was panicked, his eyes were wide open, his face was covered with dust, and he was crying desperately with his mouth wide open, even the veins on his neck and face were exposed. Coming. This poor child is using his desperate cry to find his parents and his familiar relatives. However, this miserable cry did not alarm his parents or his relatives. The only answer is that these relatives have been killed by the bombs of the Japanese invaders.

The enemy bombers were still circling overhead, and bombs continued to attack. People on the ground were dead and injured, and the river was filled with blood, which was unimaginably miserable. At this moment, he heard a faint voice coming from the ruins next to him. He knew that it was his mother's voice. So, he crawled over desperately, his hands and feet were scratched by fragments, and blood was flowing, but he didn't care at all. A three or four-year-old child suddenly seemed to become a sensible little adult, because he There is a hope, I must see my mother, I must save my mother. Finally, the little boy crawled to his mother's side. Seeing the blood on his mother's face, the little boy quickly reached out to help his mother wipe it. The mother squeezed out the word "child" through her teeth and died. In this way, a child who was originally a happy family became an orphan due to the bombing of the Japanese invaders.

What will happen to this lonely, poor child in his future life? I believe he will remember this period of history, study hard, and make unremitting efforts to revitalize China.

A photo

When I held this photo in my hand, I was filled with emotion. When I was a child, I kept hearing my mother repeat this sentence: "The Japanese are so bad, so bad that they have lost their humanity!" (Point out the time and historical events.

)

When I saw this photo, the scene at that time came to my mind. This is a real scene taken by reporters on August 28, 1937, when the Japanese invaders bombed the Shanghai South Railway Station: < /p>

A poor child sat in a pile of ruins, covering his face with dirty hands and crying sadly. The prosperity around him turned into ruins in an instant, and he was extremely sad. ——Because he lost his own home, he lost the family he was most familiar with. He shouted silently in his heart: "Dad...Mom...where are you...are you?" He looked around. Around him, people looked at the bricks with confused eyes, and moved the bricks away little by little with their young hands: "Mom...Mom, don't abandon me!" There was no hope in his eyes. If he was sensible, he would definitely think: Why is this happening? Where have my home and my relatives gone? yes! Where have the little boy's relatives gone? It turned out that during the Japanese plane bombing, the mother used her whole body to protect her child, but unfortunately she was killed. The child survived with difficulty. Later, he was seen by a reporter who took pictures and was sent to an orphanage. (The benefits of appropriate action and psychological description.)

At this time, I remembered what my mother said to me: "The Japanese are so bad, so bad that they have lost their humanity!" Yes, I always think that , don’t the Japanese have children or relatives? Don’t they know the sense of crisis and fear of losing a loved one? Do they just use knives and guns to kill innocent people? I hate the Japanese invaders, they are full of blood and ambition! They are not like other countries: they love peace and embrace peace. (Express your views and ask powerful questions.)

Until now, the Japanese, led by the Japanese Prime Minister, are still unwilling to acknowledge history and the harm they have caused to other neighboring countries. They will only play with fire and burn themselves.

Japanese, please cherish the lives of others and make your own contribution to world peace. (Advice at the end.)

Lucky War Orphans

"Jason, have you seen this photo in this newspaper?" Mr. William asked the black-haired, dark-eyed man son. The son shook his head and looked at his father in confusion.

"Look carefully, who does this kid look like?"

The young Jason looked at the yellowed newspaper full of Chinese characters in his hand in confusion. "Who is this child sitting in the middle of the railway track in the ruins, covered in blood and crying loudly? Dad asked, he must be someone I know. But I don't have a friend like this. Maybe he is a relative of my mother "My father once told me that my mother was Chinese. She has passed away a long time ago. I have never heard from my father that I have relatives in China."

"Dad, who is this? I don't know her." Is it mom’s family?” Jason asked.

"Child, when you grow up, it's time for me to tell you the truth." Mr. William looked very painful. Obviously, he made this decision after some ideological struggle. decision.

"Dad, what are you going to tell me?" Jason asked in great surprise.

"Child, the child in the newspaper photo is you."

When Jason heard this, his face turned pale and his whole body trembled, "No! Impossible!"

"He is you! Please listen to me!" Mr. William calmed down.

"You are a Chinese child. Your parents are Chinese. They were killed when Japan bombed Shanghai on August 28, 1937. You are a survivor of that bombing. My wife and children They were leaving Shanghai under bombardment by car to go to Nanjing. Unfortunately, they also died in the bombing. I was also in Shanghai at the time, but I didn't accompany them to the station because I had something to deal with, so I escaped the disaster. When I got the photo published in the newspaper, I finally got in touch with the newspaper and adopted you from the newspaper. Your name was Wang Zhenhua. You were three years old at the time. I couldn't find your date of birth, so I made August 28 yours. Birthday..." Mr. William's face became very serious, and when he said this, he suddenly stopped.

At this time, Jason's eyes were blurred by tears.

"It took me a lot of effort to take you out of Shanghai and to Hong Kong... Jason, now that you have grown up and graduated from college, it is time to know the truth of the matter."

"Dad, thank you for telling me the truth! One day, I must return to China, back to Shanghai. I must help the Chinese people not to be bullied by others." Jason said very firmly.

A letter from heaven

Qin Xiaotian

Dear children:

Hello!

My name is Fulai. I bid farewell to this world on August 29, 1937, and am now in heaven. I'm the little boy crying in the photo.

(Indicate the identity of the writer)

Seventy years have passed, but I will never forget that scene. In early August 1937, there was a rumor that the Japanese were going to occupy Shanghai. On August 28, our family of four was going to take a train to our maternal grandfather’s house in the countryside to take refuge. I don't want to just walk to the train station when the Japanese plane arrives. I only heard a few loud noises of "Boom-Boom-Boom", a white light flashed in front of my eyes, my ears buzzed, as if something pushed me hard, and I didn't know anything anymore. (The origin and course of the incident.)

I don’t know how much time passed, but I opened my eyes and saw: the good train station was gone, the railway became like a twist, the house collapsed, and the overpass collapsed My parents are gone, my brother is gone... There are many people pressed under the bricks and tiles, some have lost their arms, some have lost their legs, some are bleeding, some are moaning... I'm scared to death, He kept crying and shouting: "Dad - Mom - Brother -" but no one agreed. I thought: They must have been killed in the bombing and buried under the rubble. I was so sad that I just kept crying and shouting... (Reenacting the miserable war scene.)

Later, someone took me into a house, and people were walking around in the house. People in white clothes, and people with blurred blood lying on the bed. I was hungry, lonely, my body was burning hot, and my head felt as heavy as a thousand pounds. In this way, I fell into a coma for a day and a night, never woke up again, and died amidst people's shouts. (What a terrible war, young lives were taken away!)

Children, more than seventy years have passed, and I have been watching our motherland from heaven. Today, our motherland is strong and no one dares to invade our motherland anymore. What a blessing your life is. Children, please remember me, a child who was deprived of his young life by the invaders, remember the humiliating history of our motherland being invaded, study hard, work hard, and make our motherland stronger! (If you fall behind, you will be beaten. Send out the call of the real city.

I wish the children

learning progress!

Sample essay

At the Shanghai Railway Station, the little boy in the photo and his parents just came out of the department store and bought large and small bags of things to prepare for their son. It was my second birthday. The weather was beautiful that day, the sky was blue, and a cool breeze came to me. The little boy was comfortably held in his mother's arms, while his father was still babbling. He took out a small ringing gadget from the shopping bag and gave it to the child to play with. The little boy became even more happy. The family of three walked happily on the busy road.

Suddenly, the plane "buzzed." "Buzz..." the sound reached people's ears, and people walking on the road seemed to feel something. Everyone looked at each other for 2 or 3 seconds. Suddenly, someone shouted: "The plane is coming! The plane is coming!" , the screams and shouts of people were heard, and the little boy's family was no exception: the mother hugged the child tightly, and the father dropped what he was holding to protect the mother and child. The sound of the plane became louder and louder. Before everyone could run to a safe place, first one, then two, three... the bombs falling from the sky pierced people mercilessly, and the rumbling sound seemed like the bombs were exploding more vigorously. : The falling speed is getting faster and faster, and the number is getting larger and larger... Everyone present was attacked by the Japanese. The little boy's family also suffered the same disaster. The boy's parents were seen dying after being injured by the bomb. Regardless of their own safety, they pushed the little boy aside. At the same time, they passed away forever.

At this time, the little boy burst into tears. He was so scared that he didn't want the bombs to continue falling, and he didn't want to hear the buzzing sound of the plane. He just wanted his parents to spend his second birthday with him, walk together under the blue sky, and spend every day in peace. ...

Ten years later...

The boy grew up and became an excellent People's Liberation Army, protecting the family and the country, allowing the people to spend every day in peace. < /p>

How cruel the Japanese were! I will never forget China’s eight years of humiliation and unyielding!

The black and white photos strengthened my belief in calling for peace and hating war.
