What exactly is inside the Kenkoku Shrine?

That makes Takashi turn pale again and again.

They call their invasion of the Northeast “bold frontier development.”

They prop up the media.

That day they killed so many people.

These devils who died and were buried in China

Are turned into “heroes” and hung on the wall.

They themselves feel very wronged.

Guys, behind me is the Kenkoku “Ghost” Shrine.

The dirtiest, filthiest place in the world.

So today I’m taking a huge risk

To show you what exactly is written in here.

Filming is not allowed in the war museum inside this “ghost shrine.”

So in a moment I’ll use a special method

To take everyone inside for a look.

As soon as you enter, there is a statue of a prince of the Imperial Japanese Army.

Look how disgusting he is.

They say this hall was founded to commemorate the achievements of the heroic spirits.

Let me ask, what kind of people

Would go and commemorate war criminals and invaders?

Chapter one: the First Sino-Japanese War.

They say the First Sino-Japanese War was Japan helping us with Korea’s land.

But then why did you go and occupy other people’s land afterward?

Everyone, look how good Japan is at disguising itself as the victim.

They even say they “endured hardship and humiliation to strengthen themselves.”

They say after the Treaty of Shimonoseki was signed,

It was not the Qing government,

The Liaodong Peninsula and the Penghu Islands

And the island of Taiwan were all ceded to Japan, plus an indemnity of two hundred million.

But then the Triple Intervention happened,

So the Liaodong Peninsula did not end up in Japan’s hands.

And then they felt

They themselves felt very wronged.

They see themselves as farmers enduring hardship and humiliation.

They even use our Chinese phrase.

They call the Liaodong Peninsula a place for “agricultural development.”

This—

Up to this point,

They do not mention massacres.

The war has already started,

It has been over thirty years,

And not once have they mentioned or admitted any massacres.

Here too they do not mention massacres.

What they say is that

Their hearts were so firm and resolute.

The officers strictly ordered their subordinates

Not to loot or kill,

Not to do anything in violation.

Fight after fight, for thirty years,

Time after time they never mention

How many people were harmed.

They say

Defeated Chinese soldiers

Put on civilian clothes

To keep up

A fake civilian disguise

And were sternly exposed.

Again and again they never mention

The Nanjing Massacre that killed so many people,

And then the killings in the prisons.

They do not mention a single word of it.

They even claim their discipline was good.

What they’ve written here on these plaques

Is absurd and grandiose.

They say it was in order

To ensure the safety

Of the local troops and civilians

And to protect property in the interior.

“We are protecting you.”

Before the September 18 Incident,

Their newspapers claimed

That in the Northeast region

Anti-Japanese sentiment among the people was surging.

So the Japanese who remained there

Were constantly being harmed and attacked.

Japanese officials and civilians

Were all living in tears of grief and anger.

So they sent in troops.

Every time they start a war,

They say it is in order to protect

The Japanese nationals remaining in China,

And that is how the war “broke out.”

This is Japanese militarism.

Ways to falsify history

They say

Over there

They giggle

And introduce

My voice

Black tea

These devils who died and were buried in China

Suddenly are transformed

And treated by them as heroes

Hung up on the wall

Back then, so many martyrs

Gave their lives to kill a single devil

Now all of them are

Being worshipped here like gods

I really am not someone who swears

This is, in all my life

In this museum

The time I have cursed the most

Really

Truly beyond belief

Watching silently, assessing the situation

And besides, in here

There is no Chinese

Only Japanese and English

Then you know

Only in this spot

Can I film this

To film this video

I just wanted more people to see the real face of it

I hope the Japanese

Can verify this history

And stop deceiving themselves

I think, as

A Chinese person who has learned the truth

Even though I have no eyesight

And I am very insignificant

I still

Want to take what I have seen

And present it to everyone

So you can see what

The real situation looks like
