In the eighth of a series of 31 confessions from Japanese war criminals being published on the State Archives Administration website as China marks the 70th anniversary of the end of WWII, Fukuo Uezono detailed his brutality in China between 1939 and his capture in August 1945.

Chinese Judge Mei Ru'ao at the 1946 Tokyo trial
By Ma Yujia
August 26, 2015
Mei Ru'ao was a legend. He will be remembered for the efforts he made to protect the dignity and legal interests of Chinese people during the process of trying 28 Japanese war criminals at the Tokyo trial court.
Chinese Judge Mei Ru'ao at the 1946 Tokyo trial
"I don't want revenge. I have no intention to settle the blood debt committed by the Japanese military with the Japanese people. However, I believe that forgetting the sufferings of the past may cause a calamity in the future," he wrote in his book, which talks about the history of the Nanjing Massacre.
Mei Ru'ao was born in a remote village near Nanchang city, south China's Jiangxi Province in 1904. At 24, he received his doctoral degree from the University of Chicago in law.
In 1929, Mei went back to China after finishing study abroad. From then until 1946, he devoted himself to teaching theory of law in universities. He also involved in lots of work on amending laws for the then Chinese government.
Chosen as a Chinese judge
In 1945, the International Military Tribunal for the Far East (IMTFE) was established by the Allies after World War II. In 1946, the tribunal convened 11 justices from 11 countries and Mei Ru'ao was appointed as the Chinese judge at the age of 42. When he knew that the other judges were older than him, Mei decided to grow a beard to make him look more serious and mature.
The Tokyo trial lasted for about two and a half years until November 1948. The Chinese delegation, headed by Mei Ru'ao, made important contributions to the smooth progress of the trial with hard work and great care.
The seating order of the judges in court
On March 20, 1946, Mei Ru'ao took the flight to Japan and started to perform the duty officially.
At the trial rehearsal, Australian judge Dr William, the president of the court, arranged the seating of the judges in the following order: the United States, Britain, China, the Soviet Union, Canada, France, Australia, the Netherlands, lndia, New Zealand, and the Philippines.
Mei said he would not accept that arrangement. He believed the seating order of the judges in this trial should follow the order of signatures on the Japanese Instrument of Surrender. China was second on the list. Therefore, the judge from China should be seated right after the United States.
"In this war against Japanese aggression, China has suffered the most and fought the longest and the hardest. Britain, on the other hand, has been retreating and surrendering time and time again. It's unthinkable that China's place in this trial should be relegated to a spot below Britain," Mei said, "If I agree to this arrangement, I will be insulting my country. I'd be insulting all my countrymen's suffering, sacrifice and perseverance in resisting the Japanese aggression. Everything."
Dr William eventually agreed with Mei and arranged the seating order according to the order of signatures.
The measurement of the penalty
When the trial entered into the final stage, the measurement of the penalty was disputed among the judges. Mei Ru'ao insisted on applying stern sanctions towards Japanese criminals while some judges doubted whether to sentence them to death.
He looked over numerous official materials and submitted strong evidence to prove that the invading Japanese troops committed amount of crimes against humanity, like slaughtering, burying people alive, and burning and raping women.
"If neither Japan nor the war criminals receive the severest punishment, who can be sure that they will never wage war again? Who can be sure that Japan will never invade other countries? Who can be sure that the Japanese militaristic spirit will never reappear? We can vote now for all those who died in the war...for closing eyes in death. Think it over," Mei said to the other judges in court.
Finally, some judges were convinced and seven defendants including Hideki Tojo, Kenji Doihara and Koki Hirota were sentenced to death by hanging, and another sixteen defendants were sentenced to life imprisonment.
"To this day, l can't think about what would happen to all the Chinese people and the whole world if on that morning, if the result had been different? All the judges had pledged at the beginning that we would never disclose who agreed with the death sentence and who did not agree, what l want to say was that l tried my best," Mei said.
After the trial finished, Mei Ru'ao was appointed as Justice Minister by the Kuomintang government. However, because he was deeply disappointed with the government, he refused to assume office. Till the end of 1949, when the New China was founded, Mei Ru'ao came back to Beijing and was appointed as the consultant of the Foreign Ministry by the government of the People's Republic of China.
In 1973, Mei died at the age of 69 in Beijing.

A new film highlights China's central role in the Allied victory in World War II. The movie, titled "Cairo Declaration", revisits a pivotal diplomatic moment in the conflict.
The premiere has just screened in China's southwest city of Chongqing.
New film on key turning point in World War Two

Nearly eight decades ago, many foreigners came to China to help the Chinese people during the Japanese invasion. Indian doctor Dwarkanath Kotnis was one of them, and his contributions are still appreciated to this day.

On September 18th, 1931, Japanese troops blew up a section of railway under their control near Shenyang City in north-east China. Japan then accused Chinese troops of sabotage and used the incident as a pretext to launch an attack on the Chinese military. They bombarded the barracks of Chinese troops near Shenyang that same evening, starting a large-scale armed invasion of north-east China.
Until Japan’s surrender in 1945, China had been the victim of Japanese Imperialism for 17 years.

Sirens wailed Sunday morning in cities across China to observe the 80th anniversary of Japan's invasion followed by a 14-year occupation.
Sirens began sounding at 9:18 a.m. and lasted for three minutes in Shenyang, capital city of northeastern Liaoning Province, where the Japanese army started its assault.
More than 1,000 people from the central and local governments, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) and various walks of life gathered at the square in front of the "Sept. 18 Museum" in Shenyang as part of the routine activities that began in 1995.
The armed police stand in front of a monument marking "Mukden Incident", or September 18 Incident of 1931, at the "9.18" Historical Museum in Shenyang, capital of Northeast China's Liaoning province, Sept 17, 2010. Three provinces in Northeast China - Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning - ring alarm bells at the same time on Sunday to mark the 80th anniversary of the historical incident on Sept 18, 1931 which was the beginning of the Japanese military occupation of Northeast China, then known as Manchuria, until Japan surrendered on August 15, 1945. The museum is located on the site where the Japanese troops destroyed the South Manchuria Railway, which was used as an excuse to invade China. [Photo:CFP]
Two minutes ahead of the air sirens, bell ringers struck a bell at the museum to remind people of the national humiliation.
"We young people shouldn't forget the past. Instead, we should draw lessons and strength from this humiliating history," said bell ringer Tong Siqi, a junior at Shenyang Normal University.
"When the bell rings and the sirens sound, I believe that every Chinese will be struck inside their hearts. The history of Sept. 18 Incident told us that we young Chinese should use our knowledge to build our nation into a strong one to avoid wars and disasters," Tong said.
As the sirens wailed, all automobiles on the streets of Shenyang pulled over and blew their horns to join the sirens.
After the sirens stopped, a national flag was raised at the square and people swarmed into the museum to have a close look at the historical remains and pay their tribute to those who sacrificed in the fight against Japanese invaders.
On Sept. 18, 1931, Japanese forces attacked the barracks of Chinese troops in Shenyang, marking the beginning of the Japanese invasion and occupation that lasted 14 years.
Similar memorial activities were staged in other cities across China, including Beijing, Changchun, Harbin, Dalian, Xi'an, Hohhot, Nanjing and Haikou.
In Harbin, capital city of Heilongjiang Province, sirens wailed 10 minutes starting from 9 a.m. to remind people of the historical incident.
"Although the incident happened 80 years ago, we will never forget that history of humiliation, which reminds us of cherishing peace and building China into a powerful nation," said a retired worker, He Zhicai, as he stopped his pace at the Wanda Square in Harbin to observe the sirens.
In Nanjing, capital city of eastern Jiangsu Province, historians and intellectuals held a seminar on the Sept. 18 Incident and discussed its influence over China and Japan.
In Hainan Province, a photo exhibition was launched in the provincial library in the capital city of Haikou to display to the public the pictures and documents that record this period of history.
A Japanese tourist, Kazufumi Ishiki, 49, said he knew it was the 80th anniversary of Sept. 18 Incident. "I fully recognize this part of history, and I think Japan and China should now get along peacefully and unite together," said Ishiki, who is visiting Beijing on a seven-day tour.
A grand memorial activity was also staged on the Internet, which instantly became the hot topic of the day on the Twitter-like social website Weibo by Sina.com.
As of 3 p.m., the topic under the name of "80th Anniversary of Sept. 18 Incident" has attracted nearly 1.2 million mixed remarks, mostly from the country's web-savvy younger generation. A web user with screen name of Dan Dan said, "We should never forget those heroes who sacrificed their lives for our nation and we should recall them on this special day."
The People's Daily, the official newspaper of the Communist Party of China (CPC), published an editorial under the title of "Never Forget National Humiliation, Join up for National Renaissance" on Sunday, in memory of the incident.
The editorial says that the incident marked an awakening for the Chinese, who commenced the 14-year war against the Japanese and won the first overall victory over foreign invaders in China's modern history.
The editorial then urges all circles in China to unite and form a "powerful, resultant force" that is necessary for achieving the national revival.

China Marks 84th Anniversary of "September 18 Incident"
Chinese people remembering today, Sept. 18, 2015, the 84th anniversary of the “September 18 incident” in World War Two.
On Sept. 18, 1931, Japanese troops blew up a section of the railway near Shenyang, capital of northeast China’s Liaoning Province, which was then under Japanese control. Japan accused Chinese troops of sabotage as a pretext for attack.
They bombarded barracks near Shenyang the same evening, beginning a large-scale armed invasion of northeast China.
Japan’s full-scale invasion of China and the rest of Asia, causing 35 million Chinese people’s death and injury in the next following 14 years, followed this incident.
During the 14 years, 42 million Chinese people became refugees and over 200,000 Chinese women were forced into sexual slavery by the Imperial Japanese army.

Japanese war criminal confession reveals bacterial warfare massacre
Xinhua, September 2, 2015
A Japanese war criminal confession released Tuesday details the killing of Chinese civilians during Japan's War of Aggression against China.
The State Archives Administration (SAA) published the hand-written confession by Kingo Okano, who was born in 1912 and joined the invasion army in 1937. He was captured in August 1945.
According to the document, Okano said he killed two captured anti-Japanese soldiers in north China's Hebei Province in 1937. He also captured a man and woman and "forced them to have sexual intercourse in front of us and beat them," the confession said.
He confessed that in May 1938 he "beat and tortured" a captured man for two weeks and "beheaded him with a katana" in Chengde, where he also broke into a Chinese house, "threatened the wife with my own power, sexually assaulted her in the inner room, and infected her with gonorrhea."
Okano said that in May 1939, he was ordered to transport 250 POWs of the Eighth Route Army and "hand them over to the headquarters of the Fourth Army," who "enslaved them and later killed them all, with some used in a bacterial experiment."
Okana confessed that in October 1940 in northeast China's Jilin Province, he worked with puppet police to assist 200 military doctors in conducting so-called "epidemic prevention." He "had 5,000 people in town injected, broke into houses to force disinfection and dissected 50 people to conduct experiments to prepare for bacterial warfare," the confession stated.
Okana also confessed he provided intelligence in August 1945, the result of which was that a squadron "fired at about 2,000 rioting Chinese with machine guns and shot dead 150 of them."
This was the 22nd of 31 written confessions by Japanese war criminals to be published on the SAA website to mark the 70th anniversary of the end of WWII.

According to the document, Okano said he killed two captured anti-Japanese soldiers in north China's Hebei Province in 1937. He also captured a man and woman and "forced them to have sexual intercourse in front of us and beat them," the confession said.
He confessed that in May 1938 he "beat and tortured" a captured man for two weeks and "beheaded him with a katana" in Chengde, where he also broke into a Chinese house, "threatened the wife with my own power, sexually assaulted her in the inner room, and infected her with gonorrhea."
Okano said that in May 1939, he was ordered to transport 250 POWs of the Eighth Route Army and "hand them over to the headquarters of the Fourth Army," who "enslaved them and later killed them all, with some used in a bacterial experiment."
Okana confessed that in October 1940 in northeast China's Jilin Province, he worked with puppet police to assist 200 military doctors in conducting so-called "epidemic prevention." He "had 5,000 people in town injected, broke into houses to force disinfection and dissected 50 people to conduct experiments to prepare for bacterial warfare," the confession stated.
Okana also confessed he provided intelligence in August 1945, the result of which was that a squadron "fired at about 2,000 rioting Chinese with machine guns and shot dead 150 of them."
This was the 22nd of 31 written confessions by Japanese war criminals to be published on the SAA website to mark the 70th anniversary of the end of WWII.

The rest is to be published as the confessions are digitized, I guess. The history now belongs to the entire human society to learn and draw lessons.
