I'd rather have deep sympathy and blissful hatred than equivocal coolness

A very close friend has been using an ID called Heiguang 8625 many years ago.
Once I asked him the meaning of 8625, he said: "If you are abroad, when you call home, 86 is the area code of China, 25 is the area code of Nanjing, and 8625 means hometown."
He loves his hometown. A bit reserved.

Every Chinese person receives a number when they turn 16, and this number will stay with you for the rest of your life, unless you immigrate.
3201 is Nanjing.
In the future, whether you go to school, get married, or 3201, I will follow you.

History is something that people in Nanjing are like. It will be integrated into your bones and blood bit by bit, and it will teach you not to forget every moment.
We went to Yuhuatai since we were on a small spring tour. We went to the mass graves to observe silence during Qingming Festival. We visited the Anti-Japanese War exhibition on Children’s Day. We observed silence in front of the monument of 300,000 people on Youth Day.
We are from Nanjing, and we knew from childhood that 300,000 people died in 1937-1938.
Some people say that the people of Nanjing were killed at that time, and none of the people in Nanjing today are from Nanjing. It is like someone who studies the history of ancient Rome said that the Romans today are just outsiders.
so what? The city of Nanjing is empty, even the foreigners who poured into Nanjing have been nurtured by this time and have been integrated into the history of Shicheng.

"Nanjing! Nanjing! ” They speak Suzhou dialect, Shanghai dialect, Shandong dialect, Mandarin dialect, and occasionally Nanjing dialect. One is from a traitor, and the other is from an aunt who persuaded prostitutes to break their hair.
But for me, that's all there is to it.
That is Yi (Yi) Jiangmen, that is the statue of the father of the country, so when you open your eyes, you see broken tiles and ruins, and when you close your eyes, Nanjing is a city in the east.
Is that pale and naked corpse disgusting? That's just the history that Lu Chuan has beautified. The real history will only be more cruel and horrifying.

If you are not from Nanjing, you will not understand the meaning of the corpses under your feet.
So how does Gao Yuanyuan's recitation-like Nianbai express the sorrow that Nanjing people were born with, and how does her mother-like face show the depression after witnessing the killing.
Even if she recites the history of Nanjing day and night, it is only a quick knowledge.
So how can those constantly shaking shots and cold narratives pretending to be black and white clearly describe the sadness of this city.
I'm sorry that I can't view Nanjing from a dialectical perspective. Even if I can understand that the war is such a brutal beast, in fact, it ruthlessly destroys both sides of the war, and I can't accept it.
Just like those who do not resist passively die, selfishness, betrayal, the other party's illogical killing or instant heartbreak, even if I know that it is real, I can't accept it.

The Nanjing created by Lu Chuan, even if I knew it was actually the case, I would not accept it.
I'd rather be deeply sympathetic and cheerfully hateful than ambiguously cool.

When I was a kid, I would cover my eyes in horror when I watched "The Blood Certificate of the Massacre", but now I don't cry, it doesn't mean I don't care.

Nanjing is already deeply loved and respected, just like 3201 and 8625, destined to be with you for a lifetime.
