This abstracts from Xinmin weekly issue 2009, author: Yan Dance, the original question: the Zhang Dongpan: writing history, not to please the people
Some fantastic story is very popular, also is the leader of those who really believe lack of common sense.
Zhang Dong revivals, descendants of the army born 1954, in just this past summer, published "expedition field investigation of the war, Western Yunnan, China notes" of the father of battlefield. This was his last more than 10 years and the Yunnan civil survey of academics, documentary Director friendly neighbor, the road company text of crystallization.
Zhang Dongpan flashlight company in Shenzhen export business, the kind of flashlight appears as a prop in the transformers II in. His writing in the lyric slightly too strong, however, the father of the battlefield as a flashlight, not dazzling, but means to shine once sheltered the Chinese history of the expedition.
Great history but also to detail the true
Author: the father of the battlefield after the listing of a variety of feedback, the response you expected?
Zhang Dongpan: this book is a note, from my personal perspective records of war a little bit of debris, and my personal understanding and reflection on the war. Response I don't pay too much attention from the outside world, because I am not a book for dinner. Unfortunately since I write too slowly in recent years visited several old soldiers have gone. For example, Liu Zhisheng and Wu Changxi, they are people with cultural, then give up the pen for the sword save the anti-Japanese war, resulting in hard life. Unfortunately, they didn't see this in their book.
Old Zhang Ziwen received the book, he wrote me a letter, he had in the Bank of the year when the defense is the rank of major, Deputy Battalion Commander function in an acting capacity the company commander, Captain I had written. In addition, his father had done in changning County, but a provincial inspector, later resign home; in the resistance war, together with local gentry led military commitment to defending, Baoshan, nujiang rather than give up large tracts of land, back service of Lancang River. Old man commissioned Grand niece specifically tell me about his omissions and errors that do not have to specifically correct, he repeatedly urged Grand niece to thank me. He said that this appreciation is not my personal concern to him. I fully understand the old man this book shortly, I am pleased I can do this thing for them.
Nanjing Zhao zhenying accepting surrender ceremony, have fought the old man gave me a call, then he is a new six Army guards battalion commander, guns stood behind gangcunning. I do not have access to him, also did not write his story, but the old people call thanking me. I told the old man, are we thank them for every Chinese people, not only because they have to defend our land, but more importantly they use their own courage and something we call life dignity.
Guangzhou beam excited old man come to the phone, he was the Ambassador of the Indian army officer, took part in the counterattack battle in Burma. One of my friend gave him the book. Beam and the old man told me that he saw the title tears.
Think about it is really sad, to this nation, they got the story of his life. Should have a clear conscience to enjoy all deserve honor and respect, they could for us a little bit of the result records and the other way round, and I feel sorry for them.
Reporter: when talking about the origins of writing the article "network will the war of ' story ' is not normal", you said, "as the access to the natural deepening of so many so-called ' documentary ' stories magazine one by revealing flaws, may even be found that has not happened at all. Almost every known as we want to immerse yourself in the story do distinguish carefully to prevent their own books into magma that rotten bad class ' documentary literature '. "History of the expedition was being blanked, now gradually surfaced but immediately the overkill of the phenomenon. You also encountered false memories or selective memory of the Veterans of the war?
Zhang Dongpan: human memories of deviations are normal. Decades have no opportunity to tell their real experiences, were forced by pressure even forgotten today can be comparison Corp to think of it is very rare.
The key is not made up, neither the parties nor the record, don't go to make up for any reason. Such as General Dai Anlan the remains in tengchong County, old County magistrate Zhang Wende rate County folks kneeling Festival, is to be made up of pseudo-"documentary". The fabricated into a Chinese Expeditionary Force 200 divisions Veterans ' memories, as experienced by elderly speak out, and then by the more influential writers as "oral history" down and out. If our generation is not carefully pick out these false stories, and a number of years "change" has come true. Although this is only a detail of the history of the war as a whole, but in a grand national history opened to all the details, details is not real, history of the whole nation would have no credibility.
Even many at the end of the war of the end of the war in the West Yunnan area and left the KMT army in when talking about the desertion of the year for the elderly, will say "unwilling to civil war", in fact, this is lies. In 1945, which after a year of junior officers and soldiers will know in advance to civil war? old men say, look for "politically correct" reasons, but without resolution is dereliction of the genus.
Old people are not deliberately fabricated historical mass, blowing some calves must be understood. They do not have a utilitarian purpose, heavy capacity made them so many years of oppression and twisted far beyond our experience. But the story should not be too outrageous.
Reporter: is said to have a lot of people and things at the time of the writing did not write in, for example, a man claiming to be 36 in tengchong, Yunnan Division member of the IMP's Expeditionary Force soldiers are fake, but now each major commemorative events were the local government, and front-row seat.
Zhang Dongpan: County not historical research institution, also does not have to identify such fake expertise, mixed veterans is understandable. The key is that local academics have pointed out the flaws of the veterans, and officials refused to correct irresponsible or due to face, it is difficult to forgive. A people eat mixed drink does not matter, but pretend to steal glory is unfair to the true historical participants, glorious premise must be true. An expedition in tengchong 54 Army guard battalion veteran Jiang Shaofu old man commit suicide because of poverty and domestic violence. Today in the country has not-so-poor, the unfortunate is a disgrace to all of us veterans. If local officials do duties, honors the Veterans should not be down to the old Jiang Shaofu and interests, and such a tragedy could be avoided.
Violations of common sense "history" story is milk powder
Reporter: your reflection in the Internet age also said the expedition story widely disseminated negative phenomena, "in the expedition at first heated up the story of two years, agitation story has become even more popular on the network. China Expeditionary Force were mythical legend have become ' history ' is repeated communications. Who dares to say a ' no ', you will incur pouring down like spit called. "What factors led to such baseless assertion or intentionally fake? is it comes from growing nationalist sentiment in recent years, the national not confident?
Zhang Dongpan: in our country, understand people, cool people, thinking people are more and more, channels through which criticisms and suggestions may be communicated and ideas are greatly opened up after all these years. Some fantastic story is very popular, also is the leader of those who really believe lack of common sense.
Such as General Sun Li-Jen shot dead or alive-speaking Japan prisoners of war, whether from the traditional Chinese morality to Western recognized chivalry, also are rules of public international law conventions, Sun Li-jen was not personal hatred and to surrender the military kill. On the battlefield in Myanmar, on the Chinese army did not have caught thousands of Japan prisoners.
General Dai Anlan is through the great hero of the Chinese nation, he is a hero, is he knows like yiluanjishi is not available and to halt several times in the army's enemies, rather than illusory and that "the victory". Certain objective facts to distinguish between force of personality and the victory of the war, the war in the most complex human systems engineering, to victory only to have the courage or combined with the art of war is not enough, "two armies meet wins" certainly is not much difference in strength of the opponent. Must not believe that the violation of common sense "history" story, that and the milk is the same thing, smelling incense, eat time will harm their children.
As the people's opening, we will gradually build up from the heart of confidence. By that time, we will review a national growth of naive and parochial. However from the father's publication of on the battlefield to date, I haven't let outat me as a traitor of traitors voice was heard, even if it I have proposed allowing Japanese fetched in West Yunnan killed the remains, historical hatred and we Chinese must lay down burden such "sensitive" suggestions.
Author: internationalization of the war also has a strong color, Western Yunnan, you talk about criticisms of the current pitch on the performance of the year, British forces, said that "on the premise of no basis, don't laugh at and even curse the same battlefield United Kingdom allied forces. Although I dare not say that defeat is not their responsibility, but the defeat must not blame our own people. In my poor understanding of the British army, they never in retreat with their civilian compatriots and even women and children during conflict lives. "Why the performance of the year, British forces, there will be so much derogatory voice?
Zhang Dongpan: 1942 in Myanmar's war is not a few words can tell. I have hated cowardice in the same year United Kingdom guy treachery, but understanding a few years down, did not see the British army be cannon fodder for their own lives and let China historical materials, was seen in a large number of US troops in the war of all kinds of serious problems. Have structural defects that is very difficult to fight a victorious battle in the army.
Thrown out of the British first foul was 1942 defeated Chinese generals in Myanmar, probably began in the war after the war, locations may be war criminals management in Beijing. Clarify the timing, credibility naturally know to those memories.
Provided for the British and the Chinese army in India sanctuary and training camps to help General Stilwell realization led the Chinese army counterattack battle of Myanmar to avenge an insult. So many years, our United Kingdom military never said a word of thanks, others never remind us that we should restore this Thanksgiving memories. Speaking for thousands of years "dripping grace when the bubble phase", the Chinese how to reward others bubble grace it?
In addition, in India and Burma on the battlefield, United Kingdom troops in the British PAL operations and counterattack against Myanmar, directly eliminate the number of Japanese soldiers are higher than the country's military record. No British troops brave good fighter, there is no United States Air Force's powerful support, China's military does not have that glorious back of victory in the May alone.
Reporter: when reading the father of battlefield, I felt for us forces as a whole and the Japanese army in saving the combat record of the year and the whole history is much more information than the details of our comprehensive, Chinese people in preserving historical memory also has what they need to learn from? after you wrote this book, you also want to do what?
Zhang Dongpan: for many years, our great war much of the Chinese nation is "selective memory" was in fact just let everyone come in and encouraged to tell the truth, even when age, even if the data loss, is a way to restore historical truth.
Less serious problem now is not information, but some academic method is wrong, especially pseudo-a considerable number of oral history, increases the difficulty of learn the true history. Civil can enjoy listening to shock, enjoyable story, researchers not. Writing history, not to please the people. So as long as the intention in the name of historical writing, parallel to the idea of pole climb must definitely, "feeling of shame is close to bravery" ancient maxims are finishing today the motto of scholars in the history of the war.
Japan expert sassau-Nguesso did a very good collection of historical materials, analysis, finishing work, such as Yu Ge the Songshan domestic operational notes, also restoring the history up and down a lot of work. Ge Shuya nearly 20 years of field research in Yunnan, has recently published will result. Xylotrechus rusticus has completed the translation of Wingate, and study the Stilwell diaries from the source to clarify a number of facts by misinformation. See more of these serious research would help improve immunity to false history.
Have a large project is started, courtesy of friends support, we have the opportunity to United States mass replication when China battlefield image file. If this incident has made, we hope to 65 anniversary of the victory of the war for us to see when our fathers are glorious and unyielding figure. Stories of Chinese Red network reproduced
