He is the protagonist of this article-Tan Jialin, the chief surgeon of Lin 'an People's Hospital and an agricultural worker.
Holding the family sword
On the evening of August 15, 2005, the central and local TV stations presented a variety of commemorative programs, with climax after climax. In CCTV, Oriental TV and other programs, there was a demonstration on the streets of Tokyo, which was organized by the plaintiff to support the "germ warfare lawsuit of Japanese invaders in Changde and Zhejiang". Careful and informed people found that in the angry parade, there was a familiar figure, Alian, a burly old man in his 70 s. Oh, he is Tan Jialin. I saw him hanging a protest card on his chest, waving a banner, walking at 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 deep-rooted national hatred; His family is not well-off, but he raised funds by himself and went to Japan three times to support justice. He finally made this transnational lawsuit, which lasted for four years and six months and was called "cross-century lawsuit", and forced 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 hard evidence about Japanese germ warfare comes from his father Tan Xuehua. During the Anti-Japanese War, Tan, who was already a doctor of medicine, served as the vice president of Changde Guangde Hospital in Hunan Province run by Americans. 194 1 year165438+1on the morning of October 4th, a Japanese aggressor plane invaded Changde city. Fly low and hover for three weeks, leaving behind grain, cotton wool, etc. In the afternoon, Dean Tan, who was highly vigilant, was the first to discover Yersinia pestis with simple equipment, and immediately cultivated it, and put forward four preventive measures to the competent government departments in time. A few days later, he personally received the first case of plague, conducted an autopsy after death, published a paper, and left ironclad evidence. At that time, he keenly foresaw that one day, the heinous crimes of the Japanese invaders who carried out terrible germ warfare would be brought to court. To this end, he kept reliable first-hand evidence in a very difficult environment. Japanese writer Qiaoxiong Matsumura said this evidence in his book War and Plague-731A Study of Military Crimes: "This is an amazing and accurate judgment." 1945 the us investigation team concluded: "this is the strongest evidence of Japanese use of bacteriological weapons in China so far."
Japanese invaders carried out a germ war to exterminate human beings in China. The worst victims were Changde, Ningbo, Yiwu, Quzhou, Jiangshan and other places in Zhejiang Province. As many as 7,643 people died in Changde alone. At that time, Tan Jialin was a little boy of six or seven years old and lived in the hospital with his father. He witnessed a large number of casualties caused by enemy bombing or plague, which was carried out in the outpatient hall and the lawn behind Guangde Hospital. The horror of crying is still fresh in my mind. At the same time, his father's inculcation was 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 bacteriological warfare get fair compensation and make history true. This is Tan Jialin's motivation and motivation to unite with Japan. He said: I have to go to Japan to support, which is not my personal business. It is to seek the dignity of a country and a nation and revenge for the dead compatriots.
Justice crosses the East with a full chest.
Tan Jialin went to Japan for the first time from August 23rd to September 2nd, 2002. In the case of sufficient evidence, I went to Tokyo to participate in the first-instance judgment of "Case 73 1 Army on Civil Claims by Victims of Bacteriological War of Japanese Invaders against Japan". On August 27th, 180 plaintiffs, victims of China's germ warfare, had been waiting for five years, and the Tokyo District Court will announce the results of the first trial on this day. On the morning of the same day, accompanied by a solidarity group, Tan Jialin wore a white ribbon with the words "Peace is not war" and "Strongly demanding that the Japanese government apologize and compensate the victims in China", held high the portrait of his father and held a demonstration and speech in front of the court. At 1: 40 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 lost the claim. So there was a parade on the streets of Tokyo. People held banners and slogans and shouted slogans such as "Maintain peace, support justice and give me justice" and "History cannot be tampered with, and blood debts must be paid". Many righteous people in Japan also joined the parade.
On August 28th, the House of Representatives of Japan held a question-and-answer session. When the plaintiff and the solidarity group asked Japan to disclose the pig diaries written by World War II war criminals, officials from the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Defense Agency and the Ministry of Health and Welfare refused to disclose the information on the grounds that it involved copyright and privacy rights and could not be disclosed 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 you want to protect the privacy and copyright of war criminals, but you never mention the right to life. Who is responsible for the deaths of more than 30 million innocent people in China? You also talk about privacy. There is no country in the world that kills people without paying compensation, unless it is an animal. 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 roaring, and the Yellow River is roaring ..."
During more than a week of Japanese solidarity, 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 Jin.
On July 19, Japan's Tokyo High Court ruled in the second instance that Japan's lawsuit against China victims of China's bacteriological war lost. After the verdict was pronounced, the plaintiff and the lawyers group went to the court to hold a demonstration and expressed their dissatisfaction with the verdict, and they will appeal to the Supreme Court of Japan.
Write a suicide note and cross the ocean again.
In mid-March 2004, Tan Jialin went to Japan for the second time. 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 got banners signed by 10,000 students. Before he left, he accepted an interview with Hangzhou TV. When a reporter asks if he will go next time? He replied: Yes, definitely! As long as you live; As long as the family can afford it. Before he left, he thought he was an important witness and main spokesman of the support group, which caused 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 concern, not to mention that high blood pressure threatens him at the age of 70 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 have no regrets when I die. That kind of state of mind is full of the tragic feeling that "the wind is rustling and the water is cold, and the strong man is gone forever."
March 18, the first day of the activity, it was raining lightly. Tan Jialin stood in front of the Tokyo Tribunal wearing a poncho and "comrades-in-arms", pulled up a banner signed by 10,000 people brought from Lin 'an and shouted slogans, constantly preaching justice to passers-by and urging the court to make a fair judgment. On March 19, the peer support group went to Mount Fuji (he was the only one who participated in domestic support activities at his own expense). He and Wang Xuan, secretary-general of the Hunan delegation and head of the plaintiff group, and other five people rushed to the House of Representatives to visit 10 Japanese parliamentarians, publicize the details of the tragic death of the victims of the bacteriological war, and at the same time send them a petition asking them to convey the wishes of the Japanese people to the Japanese government. On this day, the solidarity group participated in the world anti-war parade in Tokyo, claiming to be 200,000 people. Flags fluttered in the wind, slogans came and went, and the team was full of righteousness. When the solidarity group marched in front of the headquarters of the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan, it was confronted by right-wing groups. Tan Jialin took the lead in singing March of the Volunteers. After a while, the right-wing forces retreated in a magnificent song.
Solidarity with claims across the ocean
Second-instance judgment on compensation lawsuit of Japanese invasion of China by bacteriological warfare On July 19, 2005, Tan Jialin's third support group arrived in Japan as scheduled. Before the trial, the Japanese side used tricks to temporarily abandon the big court with a capacity of 400 people and switch to a small court with a capacity of 100 people, so as to limit the attendance of the China Solidarity Group.
In just a few minutes, the judgment ended and the compensation case still lost. Immediately, the solidarity group held an impassioned demonstration with Japanese friends. Tan Jialin held a placard of his new work brought from his hometown, which was inscribed by President Hu Jintao in Chinese, Japanese and English: Remember history, never forget the past, cherish peace and create the future. His companions shouted slogans such as "oppose war, oppose the use of chemical and biological weapons, and safeguard world peace" and marched proudly in the angry crowd.
On the 20th, Tan Jialin and some members of the support group went to the House of Representatives again and questioned Japan 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 20 minutes when they first went to Japan: for solidarity and revenge, we came all the way to Tokyo; Protest against the Japanese invaders, wage war, kill people and set fire to them. Full of blood, roaring and shaking Tokyo, give me back my dignity and justice, and never promise unless I win all the games! The solemn and stirring singing voice echoed in the Japanese House of Representatives for a long time.
Listen to me, young man.
For the third time this year, Tan Jialin returned to Lin 'an on the evening of July 24th and went to work the next day. He is a re-employed specialist outpatient in the hospital. When his patients packed a room and saw the last patient, it was over 12. I heard that "Urban Express" asked him to give a talk to the "sunshine students" in the summer camp. Without saying anything, he took antihypertensive drugs, ate a few mouthfuls of rice and hurried to Hangzhou with reporters.
Tan Jialin never gave up his speech and publicity to students and all the people. During his three visits to Japan in support, he told people in the waiting room, on the plane, at the hotel where he stayed, and at the gate of the court that he would expose the tragic facts of the germ warfare to people and denounce the atrocities committed by the Japanese invaders whenever he had the opportunity. In the days before and after his visit to Japan, he visited 26 universities in Zhejiang, Hunan, Anhui and Jiangxi provinces and gave more than 30 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. Speaking of the germ warfare carried out by the Japanese invaders, he said that young people should remember this painful history. From backwardness to beatings, young students should not forget the 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. During his 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 to 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 deeply inspired the students, and they were all very excited. Liu Can, a sunshine student from Jiangshan, sincerely said: Tan Lao's words ignited my whole body's blood.
The author's notes
In commemoration of the 60th anniversary of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, when we constantly review the historical plot, we are always moved by the Chinese sons and daughters who fought bloody battles, by the revolutionary martyrs who went on and on, and 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 am I? I just did something that any China person with a sense of justice can do. Speaking of being touched, I really live in being touched every day-
He said with deep affection that he was moved by his father's deep patriotic feelings and efforts to obtain evidence of germ warfare; He is very grateful to the Japanese friends who actively assisted and participated in the germ warfare litigation in China. Some of them appealed 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 Party 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 encouragement and support of the municipal government and the Municipal People's Hospital and other relevant departments. In Japan, he met an international student named Qi Jingying, who graduated from Renmin University of China. She has been cooking for three years and has written a book "Analysis of Comments on Japan". She has been accompanying and supporting Japanese solidarity group activities, and he was moved by her patriotic spirit. He was moved by the scene that the crew lined up to see him off, take care of their lives and provide convenience during the support. He was moved by the sight of a 10-year-old girl walking in a parade on the streets of Japan, tears streaming down her face. He was moved by the enthusiasm of thousands of students vying for autographs; He was moved by the sponsorship of "Highland Boy" Chen Jinshui and ocean shipping company manager Chen Guangwei. He was also moved by the sincere love and silent cooperation of his wife and family. ...
What is touching? The dictionary says: moving is getting excited by the influence of external things, causing sympathy or admiration. Yes, how important it is to be moved. Touching is human nature, and touching is the enemy of numbness. Moved to close to justice, moved to inspiring; Touching is a good medicine for waking human beings, and touching is the standing soul of a nation. We should be glad that we still know how to move inside. In the expectation of being moved in life, we should sincerely thank someone who moved us-such as Tan Jialin.
