There is only one feeling after reading it: the weak eat the strong

Whether it is the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression or now, it is the end of the year when the weak eat the strong. This little boy worships Japanese fighter jets, which is more indicative of this, worships the strong, and even forgets militarism. Look at how poor China was at that time, there was no industry, and the people were miserable. In the eyes of foreigners: China was the sick man of East Asia (you can see it from the party), with tinted glasses, contempt, sympathy and pity for the Chinese and disgust. . . Chinese people should be self-improvement, and domestic products should be self-improvement! !

Narrator: [title card] In 1941 China and Japan had been in a state of undeclared war for four years. A Japanese army of occupation was in control of much of the countryside and many towns and cities. In Shanghai thousands of Westerners, protected by the diplomatic security of the International Settlement, continued to live as they had lived since the British came here in the 19th century and built in the image of their own country... built banking houses, hotels, offices, churches and homes that might have been uprooted from Liverpool or Surrey. Now their time was running out. Outside Shanghai the Japanese dug in and waited... for Pearl Harbor.
