"Nanjing" history education as the national policy
After the war, I begin to get Beijing dialect education after I become the 3rd grade elementary school.
The history education in Taiwan in those days’ history and geography from the 5th grade of the elementary school, the 6th grade elementary school, the more detailed history subject was done in the junior high school and the high school.
There was history education which used a supplementary material, "the invasion history to the China in USSR Russia" by the military teacher, too, in the 3rd grade high school.
In the history in the elementary school, the junior high school, the high school days, memorization in the name of the person and the period of "who killed whom" was esteemed.
I was fairly worried with the childish mind, too, about whether it answered as the learning or to write based on the conscience and the good sense when I knew that "the history" was "the subject which teaches a lie" every time I was promoted and I examined.
As for the historical perspective, it was not a tradition view of history - a history opinion and scientific viewpoints such as the economy - the social history and the philosophy of history were cultivated from the graduate school times.
There was not "Nanjing Massacre" in the elementary school, the junior high school, the high school days, at the history textbook in me even if it was about the description of the Sino incident (the 8 year resistance).
I in the second half of the 1950s left a high school but was not even in the textbook in the following generation.
In the second half of the 60s, China during Great Cultural Revolution stopped as "十年酷劫" (the disturbance in ten years) to the school education.
At this time, I undertook the content analysis of "People's Daily" from the teacher in the university but as for "Nanjing ", even a word wasn't written.
The People's Republic government has little relation with "Nanjing Massacre".
Mao Tse-tung, too, was far from being "Nanjing Massacre" to the extent that a Communist Party army was run down by the Kuomintang army in the Sino incident and that even stronghold Yan'an was occupied temporarily by the Kuomintang army.
That "Nanjing Massacre" is the propaganda of the Kuomintang government is told in detail in Japanese "Nanjing" society.
Chinese Communist Party socialist revolution and then, the socialist society construction collapsed fully last in the Great Cultural Revolution.
The confidence of "the world revolution, the human race release" disappears, because it pressed not upon the front but need to turn back in the wandering of "the reform opening", "Nanjing Massacre" and so on are essential as the history card.
As for the history civil war which the U.S. and Soviet prepared to Japan after the war, China enters the war after "the false report" of "it garbled the invasion to stepping forward" in 1982, and Korea imitates China blindly.
