Pictures of Japanese invasion of China exhibited
Hundreds of pictures showing Japan’s war of aggression against China have been published for the first time in China. The 394 pictures and some film plates were shot by Japanese military photographer Sakai.
They were exhibited in a police museum in Jinan city. They are a record of Japan’s invasion of China and the massacre of Chinese people fighting the Japanese army in Northeastern China. They are also a record of Japan’s biological and chemical attacks on Chinese people and the attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii.
Sakai was with the Japanese army when they invaded China in 1937. He then worked for the Kuo Min Tang after Japan surrendered. He was arrested in 1951 by the Jinan police and was sentenced to 10 years in prison two years later. The pictures were captured then.
