Those who deny history have no courage to face the truth—they are weak.
Such people will forever be despised by the world—no one wants to stand with them.
Sixty thousand nameless, faceless, and storyless tombstones may seem silent, but the history they represent is ironclad evidence.It exists like steel,
forever punishing the invaders, and every soul that tries to whitewash the past.

Title: Here the mountains show no people, yet they are filled with people.
No Chinese person can walk out of this place with a calm heart. Here the mountains seem empty, yet they are filled with people.
This is the Datong Mass Grave Site Memorial in Shanxi.
During eight years of occupation, the Japanese army treated Chinese laborers as tools for mining, brutally killing sixty thousand of our compatriots and looting fourteen million tons of coal.
On the hillside stand sixty thousand nameless graves.
No names, no hometowns, no life stories —
not because they were nameless, but because, before retreating, the Japanese army burned all the records in an attempt to erase their crimes.
But history does not fall silent just because documents are burned.
Truth cannot be buried by time.
The Chinese people must never forget national humiliation. We must remember history.
