In the fifties of the last century, our country decided to demolish a building, but was blocked by the Japanese, and two unreasonable demands were made.
When it comes to Japan, you will think of the harm they did to our country in the last century, although they have not admitted the heinous crimes committed on the land of China, but some of the **, images and buildings left behind are powerful evidence of crime.
In the fifties of the last century, China's Lushun urban planning wanted to demolish the Baiyushan Tower on Baiyu Mountain.
What does it matter to Japan to demolish buildings in our country?This starts at the beginning of the last century.
In 1904, Russia and Japan launched a war on our Chinese soil in order to compete for our country's Port Arthur, and finally the Japanese side won the victory at a heavy price, and since then, Lushun has been trampled by the Japanese army for 40 years.
In order to celebrate the victory, the Japanese army prepared to build 260,000 yen, bought high-quality building materials in Japan, customized parts from the United States, and grabbed tens of thousands of Chinese to build two buildings on Lushun Baiyu Mountain, "Na Bone Temple" and "Biaozhong Tower".
The "Shrine of Bones" is used to store the ashes of the dead soldiers of the Russian-Japanese War.
"Pyochung Tower" is also called the Soul Tower, which is used to commemorate the dead soldiers in the Russian-Japanese War, and the appearance is a candle, which means that the candle that commemorates the dead will never be extinguished.
Pyochung Tower "668 meters, 273 spiral steps in the tower, 18 windows from the bottom to the top, the bottom of the tower is oval. The whole reinforced concrete structure, there is a sightseeing platform at the top of the tower, which can overlook the panoramic view of Lushun. Iron nets were also pulled around and some devices were installed.
After the completion of the "Pyozhong Tower", the Japanese army regularly held spiritualist memorial activities, and also forced our students to participate, publicized Japan's colonial education, instilled the spirit of Japanese bushido to our students, and imperceptibly influenced the children's patriotic thoughts, so that they could forget their family hatred and national hatred.
In 1945, when Japan surrendered, the Soviet Red Army came to Arthur for the first time and demanded that the tower be demolished, because it symbolized the shame of their defeat. Rejected by our country.
The Lushun people who suffered from the fire of war climbed to the top of the Biaozhong Tower, burned the Japanese flag, replaced it with our national flag, and eradicated the name of the tower and the eulogy of the Japanese soldiers on the bronze plaque on the top of the tower.
After the liberation of the country, this tower has been a thorn in the hearts of the people of Lushun, 40 years, the Japanese army in this land did all kinds of evil, like a nightmare. It is a disgrace to every Lushun person.
A veteran of the Anti-Japanese War came to this tower, remembering the brutality of the Japanese army and the great sacrifices made by the Chinese sons and daughters during the Anti-Japanese War, and wept bitterly, strongly demanding the demolition of this tower of sin and shame, and the people of Lushun also agreed to demolish it. No Japanese architecture is allowed on the territory of our country.
When the news of the demolition of the tower reached Japan, the Japanese shamelessly blocked it, claiming that the construction of the tower cost a huge amount of money, and if it was demolished, the loss would be immeasurable.
The country has come forward one after another, and we are demolishing the tower on our own land, and the Japanese are not qualified to stop it.
Without saying a word, our country first toppled the "Nagu Temple" and used the ashes of more than 20,000 Japanese soldiers as fertilizer.
Looking at China's hard-line attitude, Japan also said that it is okay to dismantle the "Pyotcho Tower," but two conditions must be met.
The first is not to dismantle the tower too drastically, to ensure the integrity of the materials, and to transport the dismantled materials back to Japan, and the second is to build a Japanese-style hotel around the "Omotachi Tower" to commemorate the Japanese soldiers who died in the war.
In the face of Japan's unreasonable demands, Japan's reply was not to agree.
However, considering that it is indeed very difficult to demolish this tower, and it will affect the normal life of nearby residents, my country decided to stay as evidence of the Japanese army's invasion of China.
However, we renamed it "Baiyushan Tower" and built it into a tourist attraction as a patriotic education base.
Subsequently, our country dismantled the bronze plaque with the ode written, as well as the surrounding iron nets and devices, and the wrought iron pattern in the tower was replaced with a star symbolizing the national flag of our country, and all of them were rectified.
In this way, the meaning of the White Gyokusan Pagoda is different, it is no longer the pride of Japan, but a symbol of the rise of our country.
The reason why we left this tower is not only to use it as evidence of the Japanese army's invasion of China, but also to warn the Chinese people to firmly remember that humiliating history. We are always reminded to be prepared for danger in times of peace and to make continuous efforts to rejuvenate China. Only when the motherland is strong will it not be bullied.
