本文以沈从文《忆北平》为线索,论述日本军国主义者妄图征服中国,采取军事和政治、蚕食和吞并并用之诡计,蒋介石及宋哲元、张自忠均曾陷入日本设置之陷阱。卢沟桥战争爆发,警醒了整个中国,7月29日,平津沦陷,日军的残暴令人发指,以往对日主和之人,也觉悟过来,举国上下,为中华民族及中国生存而战,战是生路,和是死路,日本必败,是历史的必然。今日,安倍晋三及其阁僚参拜靖国神社,美化日本军国主义对外侵略和殖民统治的历史,世界各国应提高警惕,采取实际行动予以制约。

Based on Shen Congwen＇s A Memory of Peking （Beiping）, this paper explored how the Japanese imperialists tried to conquer China by military and political tricks, which Chiang Kai-shek, Song Zheyuan and Zhang Zizhong were all trapped. Japanese armies＇ atrocities made all Chinese people boil with anger when Peking and Tientsin were fallen on July 29th and even those who had tried to make peace with Japanese militarists were woken up. All Chinese people were united to fight for national survival and realized that the only way to survive is to fight, Nowadays, Shinzo Abe and his cabinet ministers paid homage to Yasukuni Jinjia and attempt to beatify the Japanese militarist aggression and colonial history. The international community should be on the alert and take practical action.
