pro-Japanese westerners

Several powerful countries have similar odors on Chinese soil, and they each have their own ghosts. The Chinese people suffer, but they make good and bad deeds, use China as cannon fodder, and vilify the Chinese people, bastards. NMB British child Japanese destroyed your family. You often salute and kneel to the Japanese soldiers. If Britain is occupied by Japan, you will be a British traitor. Christian Bale is so young that he can see the outline of his adult face. I feel that Westerners like Japan more than China. They probably think that a small Japan is not enough to be a problem, and no matter how much tossing, it will not go anywhere. When China is strong, it will be troublesome. The Japanese like rape so much, why don't they rape European and American women, in the final analysis, they are bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, and they have a sense of national inferiority. After reading it, I was still very moved. Finally, I found my parents couldn't believe it. I touched my mother's lips and hair without saying a word. I hugged my mother and closed my eyes and finally felt at ease. The choir song that the boy sang was very touching

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.
