Tan Jialin held up a banner of justice. Lin 'an doctor Tan Jialin went to Japan three times.

On the occasion of the 6th anniversary of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, a magnificent commemorative activity was held on 9.6 million square kilometers of the motherland. People are warning themselves, warning future generations, warning all peace-loving people: don't forget that sad past; Forgetting the past means betrayal. This is a famous saying, which may fade away gradually after some people listen to it, but he carved it into an idea and hung it in the air, so he trudged through hard practice with his indomitable perseverance ...

He is the protagonist of this article-Tan Jialin, chief surgeon of Lin 'an People's Hospital and party member, a farmer and worker.

Holding a sword handed down from the family

On the evening of August 15th, 25, various TV stations in central and local areas commemorated colorful programs, with climaxes one after another. In CCTV, Oriental TV and other programs, there appeared a parade on the streets of Tokyo, which was a demonstration organized by the plaintiff in support of the "germ warfare lawsuit against Japanese invaders in Changde and Zhejiang". Careful and informed people found that in the angry procession, there was a familiar figure, a Lin' an person, a burly old man over 7 years old. Oh, he is Tan Jialin. I saw him hanging a protest card on his chest, waving a pennant, walking in the forefront of the team and taking the lead in shouting slogans. He is not the victim of germ warfare, but he is the only witness; He has no deep-rooted family feud, but he has a deep-rooted national hatred; His family is not well-off, but he raised his own money and went to Japan three times to support justice. With iron mountain-like evidence, he finally made this transnational lawsuit, which lasted for 4 years and 6 months and was called "cross-century lawsuit", force the defendant to admit for the first time that the Japanese army had carried out germ warfare in the war of aggression against China in the first instance judgment after 27 sessions.

Tan Jialin's irrefutable evidence of Japanese germ warfare comes from his father Tan Xuehua. During the Anti-Japanese War, Tan Xuehua, who was already a doctor of medicine, served as the vice president of Changde Guangde Hospital in Hunan Province run by Americans. In the early morning of November 4, 1941, a Japanese aggressor plane invaded Changde City. Fly low and hover for three weeks, dropping grain, cotton wool and so on to leave. On the afternoon of the same day, Dean Tan, who was highly vigilant, was the first to discover Yersinia pestis with simple equipment, and immediately cultivated it, and put forward four prevention measures to the government authorities in time. A few days later, he personally received the first case of plague patients, conducted autopsy after death, and published a paper, leaving irrefutable evidence. At that time, he keenly foresaw that one day, the heinous crimes of the Japanese invaders who carried out the terrible germ warfare would be brought to court. To this end, he kept reliable first-hand evidence in a very difficult environment. It is this evidence that the Japanese writer Takao Matsumura said in his book War and Pestilence-An Examination of the Crimes of Unit 731: "This is a surprisingly accurate judgment." In 1945, the American investigation team concluded: "This is by far the most powerful evidence of Japanese use of bacteriological weapons in China."

The Japanese invaders carried out a germ war to exterminate humanity in China. Changde and Ningbo, Yiwu, Quzhou, Jiangshan and other places in Zhejiang suffered the most, and as many as 7,643 people died in Changde alone. At that time, Tan Jialin was a six-or seven-year-old boy who lived in the hospital with his father. He witnessed a large number of casualties caused by enemy bombing or plague, and was carried out in the outpatient hall of Guangde Hospital and the lawn behind it. The horror of crying is still vivid. At the same time, his father's inculcation is deeply imprinted in his mind: we must remember this period of history, and we must not forget the heinous crimes committed by Japanese imperialism in China. We have the obligation and responsibility to make the victims of the bacteriological war get just compensation, and to make the history true. This is the motivation and motivation of Tan Jialin's solidarity with Japan. He said: I must go to Japan for solidarity, which is not my personal business. It is to seek the dignity of a country and a nation and to avenge the death of our compatriots.

Just Crossing the East Ocean with Full Chest

Tan Jialin went to Japan for the first time, from August 23rd to September 2nd, 22. With sufficient evidence, he accompanied Changde Solidarity Group in the germ warfare lawsuit and sent him to Tokyo to participate in the first-instance judgment of the "Claim against Japan in the germ warfare case of the 731st Japanese Army invading China". August 27th is the day that 18 plaintiffs who were victims of China's germ warfare have been looking forward to for five years, and the Tokyo District Court will announce the results of the first trial on this day. In the morning, Tan Jialin, accompanied by the solidarity group, wore a white ribbon that said "peace is not war" and "strongly urged the Japanese government to apologize and compensate the victims in China", holding high the portrait of his father, and held a demonstration and speech in front of the court. At 1: 4 pm, the court admitted for the first time that the Japanese army had carried out germ warfare in the war of aggression against China, but the 44-page judgment denied the plaintiff's claim from seven aspects, and the claim was lost. So a parade appeared on the streets of Tokyo. People held banners and slogans, shouting slogans such as "maintaining peace, supporting justice, and giving me justice" and "history cannot be tampered with, and blood debts must be repaid". Many just people in Japan also joined the parade.

On August 28th, a question-and-answer meeting was held in the House of Representatives of the Japanese National Assembly. When the plaintiff and the solidarity group asked Japan to publish the diary of Izumoto written by war criminals of World War II, officials of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Defense Agency and the Ministry of Housheng refused to publish the information on the grounds that it involved copyright and privacy rights and could not be published without consent. Tan Jialin said with indignation: Japan has always advertised itself as a civilized country and a country ruled by law, but judging from this judgment, it is unreasonable. You keep saying that you want to protect the privacy and copyright of war criminals, but you never mention the right to life. Who should be responsible for the deaths of more than 3 million innocent people in China? You still talk about privacy. There is no country in the world that kills people without compensation, unless it is a beast. In the conference room, Tan Jialin and his younger brother Tan Jiayao took the lead in singing "Defending the Yellow River": "The wind is roaring, the horse is whistling, and the Yellow River is roaring ..."

During the week of solidarity in Japan, Tan Jialin only rested for two or three hours every day, sorting out materials, giving interviews, contacting friends and giving speeches everywhere. He lost his voice and lost 26 pounds.

On July 19th, the High Court of Tokyo, Japan, pronounced that the lawsuit against China victims of the Japanese invasion of China was lost in the second instance. After the verdict, the plaintiff and the lawyers group went to the court to hold a demonstration, expressing their dissatisfaction with the verdict and will appeal to the Supreme Court of Japan.

Make a suicide note and cross the ocean again

In mid-March p>24, Tan Jialin went to Japan for the second time to support him. Before leaving, he used his spare time to visit Zhejiang Forestry College, Lin 'an Middle School, Jincheng No.2 Middle School and other schools by bike, and obtained banners signed by 1, students. Before he left, he was interviewed by Hangzhou TV. When the reporter asked if he would go next time? He replied: Yes, definitely! As long as you are alive; As long as the family can afford it. Before he left, he considered himself as an important witness and main speaker of the support group, which has aroused great agitation of the Japanese right wing and paid special attention to him in the lens of the Japanese media. His family is uneasy about his attention, not to mention that high blood pressure threatens him at the age of 7 at any time. To this end, he left a suicide note and made the worst plan. Tan Jialin said: This is the most important thing in my life, and I will die without regret. That state of mind is full of the tragic feeling that "the wind is rustling and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return when he is gone."

March 18th was the first day of the activity. It was raining lightly. Tan Jialin was wearing a poncho and stood in front of the Tokyo Tribunal with his "comrades-in-arms", holding up the banner signed by 1, people brought from Lin 'an, shouting slogans, and constantly preaching justice to passers-by and urging the court to make a fair judgment. On March 19th, a peer solidarity group went to Mount Fuji (he was the only one who participated in the solidarity activities in China at his own expense). He and five people, including the Secretary-General of the Hunan delegation and the head of the plaintiff's delegation Wang Xuan, rushed to the House of Representatives to visit 1 Japanese parliamentarians to publicize the details of the tragic death of the victims of bacteriological warfare, and at the same time sent a petition asking them to convey the wishes of the Japanese people to the Japanese government. On this day, the solidarity group took part in the world anti-war parade in Tokyo, which claimed to be 2 thousand people. Banners fluttered in the wind, slogans fell one after another, and the team was righteous and mighty all the way. When the solidarity group marched to the front of the headquarters of the Japanese Liberal Democratic Party, it was confronted by the right-wing groups. Tan Jialin took the lead in singing March of the Volunteers, and after a while, the right-wing forces retreated in the majestic song.

Support for Claims for Three Crossing the Ocean

The second trial of the lawsuit for compensation for bacteriological warfare of Japanese invaders was decided on July 19th, 25, and Tan Jialin arrived in Japan as scheduled with the support group for the third time. Before the trial, the Japanese side used tricks to temporarily abandon the big court with a capacity of 4 people and switch to a small court with 1 people, so as to restrict the Chinese solidarity group from attending and cheering.

The judgment ended in just a few minutes, and the compensation case was still lost. Immediately, the solidarity group, together with Japanese friends, held an impassioned demonstration. Tan Jialin is holding a placard of his new work brought from his hometown, which is inscribed by President Hu Jintao in Chinese, Japanese and English: Remember history, never forget the past, cherish peace and create the future. And his companions shouted slogans such as "opposing war, opposing the use of chemical and biological weapons, and safeguarding world peace" and marched proudly among the angry crowd.

On the 2th, Tan Jialin and some members of the solidarity group went to the House of Representatives again to question the Japanese side face to face at the hearing: Japan is a country that flaunts democracy but is treacherous, unreasonable and without truth. So he sang "Song of Solidarity with Justice", which he and his younger brother Tan Jiayao improvised in only 2 minutes when they went to Japan for the first time: for solidarity, for revenge, we went all the way to Tokyo; Protest against the Japanese aggressors, wage war, murder and arson. Full of blood is boiling, angry roar shakes Tokyo, give me back my dignity, give me back my justice, and never promise until I win all the games! The solemn and stirring singing voice echoed in the Japanese House of Representatives for a long time.

Hey, young man, listen to me.

This year, Tan Jialin went to Japan for the third time to support him. He returned to Lin 'an on the evening of July 24th and went to work the next day. He was re-employed as an expert clinic in the hospital. By the time his patients were surrounded by a room and saw the last patient, it was over 12 o'clock. I heard that "Urban Express" asked him to give a report to the "Sunshine Students" in the summer camp. Without saying anything, he took medicine for lowering blood pressure, took a few mouthfuls of rice and hurried to Hangzhou with reporters.

Tan Jialin never gives up giving lectures to students and all the people. During his three visits to Japan for solidarity, he told people in the waiting room, on the plane, at the hotel where he stayed, and at the gate of the court that whenever he had the opportunity, he would expose the tragic facts of the germ warfare to people and denounce the atrocities committed by the Japanese invaders against China. In the days before and after his visit to Japan, he visited 26 colleges and universities in Zhejiang, Hunan, Anhui and Jiangxi provinces and gave more than 3 lectures. When he was hired by the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee and other five units as a member of the Youth Ideological and Moral and Legal Education Propaganda Group, he felt even more responsible. From the germ warfare carried out by the Japanese invaders, he said that young people should remember this painful history, from being backward to being beaten, and that young students should not forget their national humiliation, study hard, serve the motherland and revitalize China. His wonderful speech was warmly welcomed by young students.

At that time, in front of the "No War between Japan and China" monument in Wenying Park, Liulang, Hangzhou, he cried when he spoke to the sunshine students in the summer camp. He said it was the first time in his life that he cried. After three trips to Japan, he saw from many materials and historical facts that too many compatriots in China died in the Japanese invasion of China. He earnestly encouraged his classmates, never forget that nightmare history, study hard, grow up healthily, and make our motherland strong as soon as possible. He said that a nation without memory has no future. Tan Jialin's speech inspired the students deeply, and they were all excited. Liu Can, a sunny student from Jiangshan, sincerely said: Tan Lao's words ignited my whole body's blood.

Author's Notes

On the day of commemorating the 6th anniversary of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, when we are constantly reviewing the historical plot, we are always moved by the Chinese sons and daughters who fought bloody battles, by the revolutionary martyrs who have fought one after another, and also by Tan Jialin's character and behavior of remembering history and supporting justice. However, when it comes to this matter, Tan Jialin always says: What did I calculate? I just did something that any China person with a sense of justice can do. When it comes to being moved, I really live in it every day-

He said with deep affection that he was moved by his father's patriotic feelings and tried his best to take and store evidence of germ warfare; He is very grateful to the Japanese friends who actively assisted and participated in China's germ warfare litigation activities. Some of them appealed for it everywhere, some wrote books to expose germ warfare, and some lost their jobs to tell students the historical facts of germ warfare. He held a farewell party for the United Front Work Department of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Committee of the Agricultural Workers' Party, and was moved by his heroic deeds. At a dinner party, Secretary Wang Jian and Mayor Fang Jiansheng toasted him and called him an "anti-Japanese hero". I was moved by the municipal government and the municipal people's hospital and other relevant departments to encourage and support his solidarity. In Japan, he met an international student named Qi Jingying, who graduated from Renmin University of China. She worked as a dish for three years and wrote a book "Analysis of Comments on Japan". She has been accompanying and supporting solidarity group activities in Japan, and he was moved by her patriotism. He was moved by the scene that the crew lined up to see them off on the way to support, taking care of their lives and providing convenience; He was moved by the sight of a 1-year-old girl walking in the parade all the time on the streets of Japan, with tears streaming down her face. He was moved by the enthusiasm of thousands of students vying for autographs; He was moved by Chen Jinshui, the "highland boy", and Chen Guangwei, the manager of Ocean Shipping Company, for their sponsorship. He is also moved by his beloved wife and family's sincere care and silent cooperation ...

What is moved? The dictionary says: moved is that the thoughts and feelings are excited by the influence of external things, causing sympathy or admiration. Yes, how important it is to be moved. Being moved is human nature, and being moved is the enemy of numbness. Moved to be close to justice, moved and inspiring; Touching is the medicine for sober human beings, and touching is the soul of a nation standing upright. We should be glad that we still know how to be moved in our hearts. In the expectation of being moved in our lives, we should sincerely thank someone for making us moved-such as Tan Jialin.
