Research Abstract |
I interviewed the inhabitants in Hainan Dao and recorded their testimony about the massacre of locals, sexual violence, forced labor ,pillage of resources and food executed by the Japanese Imperial Army during its occupation.I also threw light upon the relationship between these harm in Hainan Dao and the ruling policy or military operation by the Japanese army, or the academic investigations by theJapanese researchers.Furthermore I clarified how the post-war Japanese civil society forgot these much harm that Japan did in Hainan Dao and denied the responsibility of Japanese colonialism in Asia and distorted the Japan’s recognition of history.
