註解：
世界的問題是很複雜的，這個帳算來算去也不容易算清。秦始皇為了求長生不老藥，選童男童女到日本去尋長生不老的藥。這些童男童女都懷著離鄉背井的怨恨，留下做日本人，所以日本人生來有一股怨氣在心裡。大概童男童女總想家，要回中國，可是國籍不同，故以戰爭手段奪取侵略中國，這是過去種的遠因。前因後果雖然如此，若不製造因果，不會一天比一天重。
日本民族好勇鬥狠，好佔便宜，想利益自己，故近代日本佔領中國。據說中國政府同意日本佔領中國，因為中國政府不認為東北屬於中國，故先後由俄日兩國侵佔。日本亦歡喜東北這塊土地，與中國政府好像有默契。故「九一八事變」，日本想要消滅張學良的勢力，以取得東北。中國政府卻主張 「不抵抗」，與「 國聯」交涉，其實這只是藉口，當時國土被佔，還交涉什麼呢？
東北有那麼多的軍隊，雖有一部份在關內，但實力足以打敗日本，可是命令不抵抗，日軍不費一刀一槍便佔領了東北。據說有一個姓齊的是穿針引線者，現在還活著。
日本首相田中奏章云：「欲征服世界，必先征服中國。」田中的「近攻遠交」的政策錯誤了，他應該「遠攻近交。」當時以日軍的力量，可以打敗蘇聯，可是他不那樣做，先打中國。中國人講究「孝悌忠信禮義廉恥」八德，有深厚的道德觀念，故國家雖然多難，至今尚未淪亡。不單日本想要征服世界，俄國、德國、美國各國元首亦復如是，野心勃勃，想要征服世界，足見世界的誘惑力很大！由於這種貪心、野心，結果自己也一敗塗地。
田中奏章云：「欲征服中國，必先征服滿蒙。」故令關東軍總司令本莊繁，於一九三一年九月十八日佔領瀋陽。為什麼那麼容易佔領？因為東北軍奉命不抵抗，撤出瀋陽城，日寇瘋狂，鯨吞滿蒙四省，成立滿洲國。
當時東北有一位愛國主義的馬占山將軍，任黑龍江省代理主席，日寇侵佔東北三省時，與眾開會研究現況，部下主張「不抵抗」。馬占山不聽中央政府的命令，把手槍放在桌上說，「我們不能讓國家的領土給日軍佔有，寸土必爭！若有人反對打日本，我就要馬上槍斃他！」於是部下不敢反對，由參謀總長李炎武主戰。當日本軍走到嫩江橋一半，馬占山的軍隊馬上開火。這嫩江橋一仗，把日軍打得落花流水，望影而逃，國人稱為民族英雄。各地賀電如雪片飛來，中國政府本主張不抵抗，也發賀電，故日本佔領東北時，情形相當複雜。
「九一八事變」後，日本以溥儀（清末帝宣統）為傀儡。傀儡像個牌位，沒有權力，說的話不算，要聽從旁人的招呼。日本以中國人來做號召，東北的縣長是中國人，副縣長是日本人，但是縣長要聽副縣長（指導官）的命令，實權都在日本人手裡。日本將東北佔領後，又於一九三七年七月七日，藉故發動「蘆溝橋事變」，中國抗日戰爭開始，打打停停，停停跑跑，一搞搞了八年。南京政府遷都重慶，日寇進軍南京，肆無忌憚大屠殺，死傷三十萬。日本國土雖小，但野心狂大，進佔香港、菲律賓、星加坡、馬來西亞等地。日本人數雖不多，但有一套，到處用當地的軍人維持治安，井井有條。
一九四一年，日本少壯派推選東條英機為首相，組織皇軍偷襲美國珍珠港，引起太平洋戰爭。一九四五年八月十五日，日軍窮困潦倒，受原子彈威脅無條件投降。罪惡滔天的東條英機是惡首罪魁，被判為甲級戰犯，絞死於獄中。這是侵略者的果報，是我們的一面鏡子。

Essay:
The aggressive character of the Japanese is proven by the Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War. [Japanese Prime Minister] Tanaka wrote a petition to the emperor saying, "To conquer the world, we must first conquer China. To conquer China, we must first conquer Manchuria and Mongolia." Thus, Honjo Shigeru, Generalissimo of the Guandong Army [the Japanese armed forces stationed in Manchuria], was ordered to initiate the Shenyang (Mukden) Incident on September 18,1931. The Manchurian armed forces, under orders not to resist, departed from the city of Shenyang in tears. In a frenzy Japan swallowed the four provinces of Manchuria and Mongolia and established Manchukuo with Pu Yi as its puppet ruler. In this way they slowly gnawed away at China. On July 7, 1937, the Japanese initiated the Marco Polo Bridge Incident on a pretext, thus beginning the Sino-Japanese war. After the Chinese government moved from Nanjing to Chongqing, the Japanese army advanced upon Nanjing and undauntedly massacred the civilians. The deaths and injuries numbered three hundred thousand. In 1941, a faction of young Japanese citizens elected Hideki Tojo as Prime Minister. Tojo organized the imperial army to raid the United States' Pearl Harbor. In the south Japan occupied Hong Kong, the Philippines, and other territories, thereby bringing on the Pacific War. On August 15, 1945, the Japanese reached the end of the road. Menaced by the atomic bomb, they surrendered unconditionally. The nefarious Hideki Tojo was sentenced as a high-level war criminal and was hanged in prison. His outcome serves as a warning for those who would invade other countries.
Commentary:
The problems of the world are extremely complicated. It's not easy to keep the accounts clearly. The First Emperor of the Qin dynasty (Qin Shi Huang) chose a group of young men and women to go to Japan to look for an elixir of immortality. These young men and women, who were filled with enmity at being forced to leave their home and country, settled in Japan and became the first Japanese. That's why the Japanese have an inherent sense of enmity. Those young men and women were probably homesick, but unable to return to China since they were now of a different nationality. That may be why they want to invade China and take it over in a war. Those were the causes planted in the distant past. Although the past causes and subsequent effects are thus, if one does not create causes and effects, they will not grow worse with each day.
The Japanese people are bellicose and pugnacious. They like to take advantage of others and benefit themselves. That's why Japan occupied China in the recent past. It is said that the Chinese government approved of the Japanese occupation of China since they did not consider Manchuria to be part of China. Manchuria was consequently attacked by Russia and occupied by Japan. Japan desired the Manchurian region, and the Chinese government seemed to give its silent approval. That's why, when the Japanese used the September 18th Mukden Incident to diminish Zhang Xueliang's power so that they could take Manchuria, the Chinese government decided not to fight back and to "negotiate through the League of Nations." Actually that was nothing but a pretext; when one's nation is being occupied, what is there to negotiate about?
Manchuria had a large number of troops. Although some of them were stationed within the passes, it still had enough military strength to defeat Japan. However, with the order not to resist, the Japanese army was able to occupy Manchuria without having to use a single weapon. It's said that a man named Qi, who is still alive, acted as a go-between [between Japan and the Chinese government].
Prime Minister Tanaka wrote a petition to the emperor, saying, "To conquer the world, we must first conquer China." Tanaka's policy of attacking neighbors and associating with distant powers was mistaken. He should have attacked distant powers and established relations with his own neighbors. Given the might of the Japanese army at the time, he could have defeated the Soviet Union. But he didn't do that. Instead, he attacked China first. The Chinese are a deeply moral people and stress the eight virtues of filial piety, fraternal respect, loyalty, trustworthiness, propriety, righteousness, incorruptibility, and a sense of shame. That is why the country has not yet perished in spite of the numerous hardships it has undergone. Japan is not unique in wanting to conquer the world. The leaders of Russia, Germany, the United States, and other nations all have the wild ambition of conquering the world. The idea of ruling the world is incredibly seductive! Due to this greed and ambition, countries and their leaders end up ruining themselves.
Tanaka's petition said, "To conquer China, we must first conquer Manchuria and Mongolia." Thus Honjo Shigeru, Generalissimo of the Guandong Army [the Japanese armed forces stationed in Manchuria], seized and occupied Shenyang on September 18,1931. Why was it so easy for him to seize it? It was because the Manchurian forces had been ordered not to resist, but to leave the city of Shenyang. The Japanese invaders then, in a mad frenzy, devoured the four provinces that made up Manchuria and Mongolia and set up the puppet state of Manchukuo.
At that time, there was a patriot in Manchuria, General Ma Zhanshan, who was serving as acting governor of Heilongjiang (Black Dragon River) Province. When the Japanese invaders had seized three provinces, he held a meeting to investigate the circumstances. His staff favored nonresistance. Ma Zhanshan, ignoring the orders of the Chinese central government, placed his pistol on the table and declared, "We must not allow the nation to be occupied by Japanese troops. We must fight for every inch! Anyone who opposes fighting the Japanese will be shot immediately!" His subordinates dared not oppose, so under the direction of his military advisor, General Li Yanwu, Ma Zhanshan's army opened fire on the Japanese troops as they were crossing the Nenjiang Bridge. The Japanese soldiers suffered a total defeat in the battle at Nenjiang Bridge, and they fled for their lives. General Ma was hailed as a hero of the people. A flurry of telegrams came snowing in from every direction. Even the Chinese government, which had advocated nonresistance, sent a telegram of congratulations. Thus, the Japanese occupation of Manchuria was quite a complicated affair.
After the Mukden Incident, Japan installed Pu Yi (Xuantong, the Last Emperor of the Qing Dynasty) as a puppet ruler. As a puppet he had no real power, and his words didn't carry any weight. He had to take orders from others. The Japanese used a Chinese leader to win the people over. The provincial governor of Manchuria was Chinese, and the vice governor was Japanese, but the governor had to take orders from the vice governor. All the power was in the hands of the Japanese. After their occupation of Manchuria, they chose a pretext and initiated the Incident at Marco Polo Bridge on July 7, 1937, thus beginning the Sino- Japanese War. The war dragged on for eight years, with sporadic fighting and occasional retreats.
When the Chinese government moved from Nanjing to Chongqing, the Japanese army advanced upon Nanjing and recklessly massacred the civilians. The deaths and injuries numbered three hundred thousand. Japan is a small country geographically, but it had huge ambitions. In succession it occupied Hong Kong, the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, and other places. Japan does not have a large population, but they employed a very effective policy of using local military forces to maintain peace and order. They were very organized.
In 1941, a faction of young Japanese citizens elected Hideki Tojo as Prime Minister. Tojo organized the imperial army to raid the American Pearl Harbor, thereby starting the Pacific War. On August 15, 1945, the Japanese army was destitute, exhausted, and on the verge of collapse. Under the threat of the atomic bomb, they surrendered unconditionally. The corrupt and wicked Hideki Tojo, guilty of atrocious crimes, was sentenced as a war criminal of the highest degree and hanged in prison. This is the retribution of someone who invaded other countries, and it serves as a mirror for us to view ourselves.
