Outline of Final Research Achievements

I visited Hainan Dao five times as a member of the research organization of modern history of Hainan Dao and interviewed the inhabitants and recorded their testimony about the massacre of locals ,the pillage of food and domestic animals,the rule of lands and natural resources and various industries by the Japanese Government ,Japanese Imperial Army and Japanese firms.
So I could partly confirm the names and the number of victims. Moreover taking into account of these research ,and considering the fact that these crimes have been consistently concealed in postwar Japanese society, I examined the history of Japanese modern society from the point of view of colonialism.
