1. Germany massacred Jews, and those murderers thought they were carrying out orders after the war. Should not be held responsible for this.
2. The Japanese veterans of World War II aggression against China, except for a few Rudong Shiro who left a diary of repentance, few others came forward to admit their guilt.
3. During the Cultural Revolution in China, there were countless people who died, and they were as brutal as Daoxian County. In 67 years, they killed more than 4,000 people in 66 days. In the 1980s, the work team went to investigate, and the person who killed people didn't think there was anything wrong with them, and said that if it were now, they would do the same thing. For those with blood on their hands, no one has yet come forward to plead guilty.
Going back to this documentary, those who participated in the massacre were righteous and unrepentant, and the bloodthirsty brutality is so undisguised in this day and age. Speaking of murder in TV programs is like a child's play, and the cruelty and bestiality of people are fully revealed. Only the old man can reflect after playing the victim, can he feel the fear and the misery of being trampled on as a person.
Living in a fairly normal society, it is even difficult for me to imagine what it would be like to take away a person's life. The Buddha said, a flower is a world, and I feel even more that a person is a world. Raised up, he has interacted with countless people, he has received and given love, he has emotions, memories, love and hatred, and everything he has experienced has shaped this person. And a massacre can wipe out tens of thousands of people, which is undoubtedly the biggest tragedy in the world.
Therefore, for those tragic histories, domestic and foreign, it is not enough to just reflect. The executioners will not reflect on their grievances, repent, or reconcile, because they always consider themselves to be victorious conquerors. Only by putting the executioners on the judgment seat, revealing the bloody truth to the world, and making them pay the price, can we avoid repeating the same mistakes.
