Back From Nanjing

Went to Nanjing during the weekend with my dear seniors and also two very cute and nice FBCs...

In case you guys wonder who are FBC,

it is refered to as French-born chinese,

ring a bell?

Anyway, back to the topic on my Nanjing trip,

I always put nanjing as my top priority on my travel list...

Mainly because I wanted to go to the Memorial so much,

But before that,

The whole trip was an adventure I would say...

for us, we went in two groups,

the four of us were rushing to board the train like mad until we nearly board the wrong train,

what an adventure can that be!

I was shouting like a crazy woman on the platform when they were running towards the train to Xuzhou instead of Nanjing...haha...

and the other group of us totally missed the train and took another one,

finally, we made it there....

Ok, back to triip proper...

Let me share with you guys my trip to one of the best wenquan( aka Hot Springs)

in Nanjing.

It was located right on top of the mountain...

With a lot of different wenquan like coffee,wine, herbs..

and I tried burying myself under the minerals and sands...

man,

We had a mass burial, dug by ourselves...how WRONG IS THAT?

nO PICTURES....

coz I did not had a camera with me then...

hot springs is definitely a fun thing in winter...

Day 2, this was something I really had feelings and I wanted to blog about...

我终于去到了南京大屠杀的纪念馆。

一直以来都对历史很有兴趣，

而以前在书中和纪录片中看到的场景，

却在历历在目，感觉确实多了一份莫名的激动。

原来历史的教训，

多少血泪交织而成的伤口，

纵使在南京大屠杀发生后的这七十年，

看到那些历史场景，

在照片中看到的悲痛无奈，

我们都感到一股莫名的哀痛。

死去的亡魂，

留下的幸存者，

到底历史是给了我们一种借鉴，

不要重蹈覆辙，

还是这么多年后的伤口，

我们始终慢慢愈合。

我很喜欢当时南京安全区主席John Rabe,

说的一句话：“Forgivable, Not Forgettable.。”

的确，当初日军对于中华民族所造成的伤痛难以磨灭，

我们或许能够用宽恕换来和平，

但是伤痛不是事件所能冲淡的。

我们不谈论日军胜了，

还是败了，侵略了，沦陷了。

因为，

在一场战乱中，

没有人是赢家。

和平，很遗憾的，

在这个文明的年代，

还一个遥远的代名词。
