💀 Hidden beneath the label of “disease prevention,” Japan’s Unit 731 conducted horrific biological experiments on thousands in the Chinese mainland during WWII. CGTN’s Mike Walter steps into a chilling archive where documents whisper stories of unspeakable suffering—a stark reminder of humanity’s darkest hour.
A Dark Chapter in History
From 1936 to 1945, Unit 731 operated under the Imperial Japanese Army, disguising atrocities as scientific research. Victims endured freezing experiments, forced infections, and chemical weapon tests—all while survivors were dissected alive. 😱 These crimes, long denied by some, are meticulously recorded in yellowed files now preserved as evidence.
Echoes of the Past
Walter walks through rows of handwritten notes and photos, each page a scream for justice. “This isn’t just history—it’s a warning,” he says. Many families in Northeast China still seek closure, their loved ones reduced to anonymous “logs” in Unit 731’s records.
🌍 As global tensions rise, remembering these horrors becomes vital. “We can’t let ideology erase humanity,” urges a historian interviewed. For Gen Z, it’s a call to confront hard truths—because those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.
