Stop pretending!
On the evening of August 24, ahead of the 80th anniversary of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, former Japanese ambassador to China, Tsuyoshi Yagi, publicly made remarks on Japanese television denying the Nanjing Massacre. He shook his head and showed his ugly side on the TV, claiming, "The Nanjing Massacre is fictional. Those who watch 'Nanjing Photo Studio' are poor Chinese people. China and Japan are neighbors that cannot be moved away; don't make films about past events anymore, which damage the image of the Japanese people."
Tsuyoshi Yagi admitted on television that the rhetoric circulating on Japanese forums, which encourages Chinese "rich people to visit Japan for Mount Fuji, and the poor to watch 'Nanjing Photo Studio'," was created by Japanese right-wingers.
We hope Chinese directors can make more films that restore historical truth, educating the next generation never to forget the heinous crimes committed by the Japanese invaders in China.
