A shot.
He hears a boy’s voice now, a boy mourning his little sister.
Another shot.
Don’t waste bullets like that, they’re saying now. Do it like this -
This time when the sword drives into his back he is unsurprised.
***
Three hundred thousand, he’ll say years later. He’ll say it, and it will be set in stone by his boss’s underlings.
Honda says that with that many casualties the population would have been knocked into negative figures.
It felt like three hundred thousand, Yao says, maybe more. And it wasn’t only the city, it was the general region too. You weren’t any kinder to the villages.
Perhaps you felt wrongly, Honda says. After taking a moment to throw an equally dismissive aside toward Im Yun Soo’s parallel tirade Honda turns back to Yao and says, there is no point in dwelling on this. Honda says, I suppose there were some unfortunate things that went on then, but.
I know what I felt, Yao says. I know what you did to me.
Honda says many things that all add up to no. Honda says, it seems you did most of it to yourself, or your own people did. Please spare me your propaganda.
Yao feels the scar on his back itch and for a sudden startling moment thinks, I can split the atom now. I have missiles, I have warheads, I could give you a hundred scars to match the two you already have and don’t think I’d put you back on your feet afterward, because you showed no such mercy to me.
The moment passes, he realizes anew that it would be a rather foolish use for his arsenal, and the open acrimony withdraws soon after. Yun Soo’s strident tirade winds down and he returns to his usual prattle. They sit together and drink their gone-cold tea, because if they dwell on the past all the time they’ll go mad.
Yao still thinks there is considerable point, sometimes, to dwelling.

So far as history and realism, I'm especially gratified because there were a number of bits and pieces I wanted to incorporate once I came across them, like Korean immigration to Manchuria and Sino-German cooperation and, yes, the continued lack of reconciliation (and somewhat reconciling that with what I've seen of their interaction in Hetalia), and I'm glad all that didn't end up sticking out too badly for you.

Gah! Amazing! Amazing! Oh, the bit with the brother and sister made me want to cry. Just awful and tragic but wonderfully done anon! Especially the present day ending, and the Hetalia-style touches, like Yun Soo running to Yao's house to escape Honda. I agree with everything the above commenter said.
Also: your first fill!? Welcome to the fandom, please write more!

Again, as I said above, I'm gratified to hear your thoughts on how I handled the history (and the continued argument over it in the present day). To add to the above, one of the things that particularly got to me in accounts of the massacre was the mention of "third-party rape," hence my writing the brother and sister.
So far as the part you quoted - I couldn't help but imagine the China in Hetalia with some amount of repressed anger (and, well, nukes).

And, thank you! There were various historical things that I ended up trying to thread in alongside the prompt, and I'm happy you like how I handled it.

But I am very, very grateful for to you for writing this.
And that is very brilliantly link to present.
Well, I am a nankingnese, I was born in nanking, live there, studied there before I come to USA for U.
The internet is vast, and sometimes I have been asked:"Japan already had two nukes dropped on them, can you stop being so petty?" or things like, "Oh, those comfort women (women who are gang-raped), they have willingly volunteered."
That is bull****. I am trembling with anger every time I hear this, worse of all, this kind of statement comes from someone high up the Japanese government hierarchy.
I like your perspective, for you view death and life very seriously, lives are not statistics.
Whether it is exaggeration or not, has nothing to do with the crimes Japan HAD committed.
sorry for this piece of angry rant.....

the ''oh no leave'em alone they've already been bombed twice'' shit is overused. i know it's unfortunate, but that's not a reason to erase their sins.
after they have been ''punished'', they denied doing any harm in the first place and said ''the chinese did that to themselves'', which made me want to tear their stomachs open and strangle them with their instestines, but that's not the point. the point is that they didn't responsability for what they did and i find it cowardly beyond belief.
but despite the errors of the past, i feel like it's wrong to blame the modern japanese people for it, since it was their ancestors, not them, who did all the damage. i just hope china and japan will get along in the future even if japan was a bastardish jerk in the past.

The criticism that I have as far as the Chinese stance on the issue of the Rape of Nanjing and comfort women is that, until the late 80s, the PRC government didn't give a damn about that history. After 1949, everyone was focusing on how it was important to remember the past of the Communists, not the Nationalists (who were doing the fighting in Shanghai and Nanjing). As far as the Communist Party was concerned, if you had unpleasant memories of those times, you could send your complaints to the Nationalists, c.o. Han-Chinese-colonised Taiwan.
In the 60s and then again in the late 70s, Japan was a pleasant trading partner whom the Party saw no reason to harass. It was only in the 80s that China started freaking out every time another textbook gets approved (and it's so easy to get Japanese textbooks approved!).
And frankly, I think freaking out at Japan's revisionist history tactics is ironic given the way that the Chinese government completely hushes up the Tiananmen Square massacre. You can't even find the classic image of the single student standing in front of the tanks.
This is what you get if you search the biggest mainland search engine. To wit: the closest to a tank is a picture from a military thread filled with tanks in a parade.
End rant.
