The simplest summary of this movie is that the British are human beings, the Americans are human beings, and the Japanese soldiers in the context of war are also human beings, who can empathize with others, not beasts. The Chinese, on the other hand, are insensitive, turn a blind eye to the suffering of others, and struggle to survive, but no one will give charity and sympathy for it. As for why the Chinese became what the director narrated in the context of the times, Spielberg has no desire to explain, not the main narrative direction of the story.

These few footages about China give me the feeling that they are citing other scholars' academic views in order to complement the professionalism of the paper. Even if they are removed, they will not affect the level and level of the whole paper. .
