帝国的流亡记忆:抗战时期日本战俘的战争反思

Imperial Memory of Exile: Japanese Captives' Reflections on War During Anti-Japanese War

抗日战争中,我方俘获了一大批日本战俘,作为战争亲历者,他们以独特的视角记录了战争和战争中的个体存在,他们的作品在唤起日本兵士觉醒方面发挥了很大作用,也体现了他们对于战争的基本价值判断。但是,他们基于朴素的人性道德价值观反对日本军部,将厌战等同于反战,并将反战完全看做是对中国抗战的支援,消解了自身的战争责任,这体现了他们在战争反思方面的局限性。

During Anti-Japanese War, our army captured a large number of Japanese prisoners of war. As war witnesses, the Japanese POWs recorded the War and their personal experiences in the War from unique point of views in their writings which played a significant role in awakening Japanese soldiers and embodied their fundamental value judgments on the war. Their simple moral value enabled them to turn against Japanese military offices. They even regarded war weariness as a pro-China anti-Japanese war strategy. As a result, their responsibilities in the war disappeared. This mode of thinking demonstrates the limitations of their reflections on the War.
