94 years ago today, the “September 18th Incident” broke out. Those unforgettable humiliations must never be forgotten, must never be dared to be forgotten, and must never be allowed to be forgotten! Today, the bell in front of the September 18th History Museum evokes historical echoes, the “Not Approved” photographs of the Japanese invading forces exhibited at the Museum of the Imperial Palace of Manchukuo serve as indisputable evidence, and the Unit 731 Crime Evidence Exhibition Hall exposes the countless crimes of the aggressors. We must never forget those turbulent years written in blood and tears, and those heroes who bravely resisted powerful enemies!
September 18th History Museum
The September 18th History Museum in Shenyang, China, commemorates the Mukden Incident of September 18, 1931, a staged event used by the Japanese Kwantung Army as a pretext to invade Manchuria. The museum, built on the site of the incident, serves as a memorial and an educational center detailing the history of the Japanese invasion and the subsequent occupation. Its exhibits aim to promote patriotism and ensure that this period of national trauma is not forgotten.
Museum of the Imperial Palace of Manchukuo
The Museum of the Imperial Palace of Manchukuo was the official residence of Puyi, the last emperor of China, who was installed as a puppet ruler by Japanese forces during their occupation of Manchuria (1932-1945). The palace complex, built in the 1930s, now serves as a museum that exhibits this controversial period of history and the luxurious lifestyle of the emperor. Its collections include historical photographs, documents, and artifacts that illustrate the political manipulation and colonial rule of the era.
Unit 731 Crime Evidence Exhibition Hall
The Unit 731 Crime Evidence Exhibition Hall is a museum in Harbin, China, that documents the war crimes of the Imperial Japanese Army’s covert biological and chemical warfare research unit during World War II. It stands on the site of the unit’s headquarters and exhibits evidence of the horrific human experimentation performed on thousands of prisoners. The hall serves as a memorial to the victims and a stark reminder of the atrocities of war.
