SHESGOTTOBE,
Well, perhaps you don't understand my post quite well.  As I have said: "the reason why I retell this tragic episode is not to make people of good conscience and justice suffered and gloomy, but to memorize the great martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the cause of peace."

I don't wan to be a prisoner of the past either, and actually I am not living in the shadow of the past. IMO, we human beings should look squarely on the past. Reflection on the past is to better welcome the future. I know many Japanse average persons are quite friendly and regret for the atrocities in Nanjing that is beyond their control. Certainly, we should not be mean to these friendly people of good conscience, but show our tolerance, generosity and friendliness to them.  However, some 
bad-intentioned Japanese militarists and politicians are unforgivable. We, not only Chinese, but Asians as well as the global peacelovers should be alert to the resurrection of Japanese Militarism. We don 't  want to see history will repeat itself, so  we have to learn lessons from the past.
