How rampant is Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the leader of the Japanese invaders? Make China and Beijing the capital of Japan.

Stimulated by the victory of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, Japan got carried away, thinking that Japan could dominate the world, and finally ended in complete failure.

Since Toyotomi Hideyoshi was unified at the end of 16, Japan has always wanted to make Beijing, China the capital of Japan. After the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Japanese kept an eye on China. When World War I broke out, Japan declared war on Germany, sent troops to Qingdao, proposed to destroy Article 21 of China, and quickly occupied Jinan and Ji Jiao railway lines. This year marks the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War. We know that China sent workers to Europe to participate in the war against Germany. But Japan is in Shandong, nominally fighting Germany, but actually fighting China. 193 1 After the September 18th Incident, the Japanese launched a local war in China and occupied the Great Wall. 1937 after the lugouqiao incident, the Japanese clamored to destroy China for three months. However, China persisted in the eight-year war of resistance under extremely difficult conditions. With the support of the Soviet Union, the United States and Britain, China won the final victory in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, and the Japanese accepted the unconditional surrender. This is the first victory of China's foreign war in modern times!

Because the victory of the Sino-Japanese War went to my head, I didn't know that China in the Second Sino-Japanese War was not China in the First Sino-Japanese War. The awakening of the people of China is the decisive condition. The establishment of an anti-Japanese United front by the two parties in China and the mainstay role of the China Producer Party in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression are all manifestations of this awakening.

People of insight and politicians in Japan should reflect on history, especially the history of "leaving Asia and entering Europe" and the history of aggression against neighboring countries since the Meiji Restoration.

If Japan wants to be a normal country, it should be a country that lives in peace with its neighbors, a country that has eliminated its ambition to invade its neighbors and a country that does not seek hegemony.

The positive significance of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 is to tell us that we should be prepared for danger in times of peace and always make ourselves invincible.

Experience tells us that in the history of Sino-Japanese diplomatic relations since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, war is more than peace, and tension is more than friendship. In order to create a situation where peace is more than war and friendship is more than tension, the Chinese and Japanese people should always review and remember the lessons of history.

One more thing to note from the historical lesson: Japanese politicians have been losing my heart since the end of 16. This is something we should not forget when reviewing the century influence of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. Of course, today's China is neither China in the Second Sino-Japanese War nor China 1854 in the First Sino-Japanese War. However, the people of China and the soldiers of China should not be intoxicated with their achievements. Only by being prepared for danger in times of peace and always thinking about combat readiness can we be invincible.

From this perspective, the Sino-Japanese War of 120 years ago is still affecting China, Japan and even international relations!
