东史朗诉讼案表面是两个日本老兵为了一起虐杀中国人的暴行而上法庭,实则反映了日本社会怎样对待南京大屠杀、怎样对待战争的性质问题。战后日本社会存在着两种截然不同对待南京大屠杀、对待战争的状况。日本为什么会这样?本文认为有四个因素,而日本能否正视日本对外侵略历史和承担战争罪责则是问题的关键。 On the surface of the East Long case, the two Japanese veterans came to court in order to atrocities kill and kill Chinese, but they actually reflected how Japanese society treated the massacre of Nanjing and how to treat the nature of the war. There were two kinds of completely different treatment of the Nanjing massacre and treatment of the war in post-war Japanese society. Why did Japan do this? This paper argues that there are four factors. Whether Japan can face Japan’s history of aggression against Japan and assume responsibility for war crimes is the crux of the issue.
