Yesterday when I finished the documentary (紀(jì)錄片)”the Slaughter of Nanjing”(南京*), I was totally numb at that time . though I have seen similar movies before , but none of them is as vivid as the one I just finished . when witnessing our compatriots (同胞)killing or racked (折磨)inhumanly , though not on the spot , i felt great grief deep down in soul as if hundreds of thousands of swords were incising (切割)my delicate heart . i believe any Chinese who has seen this documentary will decidedly feel sorry for our people as well as our broken weak nation then .
China is an old nation which enjoys a long history of 5000 years. In the past , we had lived through a time called Tang dynasty ,which was the prime time when all other countries looked up to us Chinese people . Japan was just a fallen-behind country and dispatched (派遣) a lot of scholars to China to learn our then-advanced technology and culture . however , as time went by , we did not know to widely open the gate of our country to the whole world , absorbing the supreme developing technologies and methods globally . instead , our mother nation just closed up our own gate and isolated us from the whole world . the potentates(統(tǒng)治者) were just enjoying their own dreams and dreaming they could pass their cozy life on to their generations forever . still , when it came to 1840 , the self-satisfied dream was shattered in a flash , and our nation began toiling forward with numerous pains and sufferings , which were accompanied by endless streaming bloods and tears .
Our territory was partitioned (瓜分) by invaders . our silver and gold were drifting like water out to the greedy enemies . but what could do was just waiting to be robbed of more . we fell behind , so we deserted the beat and punishment .
When the World War Two uncovered its evil face, China began suffering the indelible ( 不可磨滅的) agony resulted from the army of Japan . countless lives were ruined cruelly by the Japanese devils , including the old and the young , even the babies . the Japanese evils were so brutal that even foreign journalist were shocked to move when spotting them killing Chinese people . they adopted all kinds of odd and ruthless means to torment the folks before putting their lives to an end .
It took a long time of eight years for us to conquer the evil and welcome our own peace . in retrospect , though more than sixty years have flown by with a swift speed , we still cannot rub the deeply-buried pain in our heart . we have awaken that we need to progress with the tide of the world , and only development of technology and economy can get us rid of the domination of the big powers (列強(qiáng))and go our own way with thorough freedom !
As a new generation of the Chinese people , we shoulder a lot of holy responsibilities . none of us are ready to see another world war happen again , hence we should always harbor peace in our heart and advocate living harmoniously with the people else around the world . development and peace have become the theme of this modern time . under this background full of challenges and opportunities , we should not let go of every chance to promote the comprehensive power of our country . only by doing so can we stand firmly and invincibly among all the other nations !
