"One of the greatest atrocities of the world history is Rape of Nanking.
All human beings are capable of committing this kind of atrocities, not just the Japanese or the Germans. I think all human beings have this capacity for great evil, if put under the right sociopolitical circumstances.
The Rape of Nanking is something that always could happen and did happen and we have to learn from history if we want to make sure it doesn't happen again. " -- Iris Chang
謝謝你!我們永遠都不搖忘記這個美麗的女作家。
謝謝作家分享閱讀經曆!也許從閱讀張純如的寫作你汲取了對於廣袤人性的思考,使你的故事溢滿善良的馨香。
--張純如
同意你說的張太善良,對於真實史料裏呈現的人性的巨大邪惡 而抑鬱。
但她的短暫生命,喚起人們對於邪惡的警覺,她的生命意義是極有價值的。
要阻止evil events的再次發生,應該對曆史上和現實中的邪惡事件複習研究,而不是掩飾和遺忘。
不值,因為人性是不會改變的。
當今社會的各種借機虐待,就是一斑。
