Cover Description
The painting on the cover is the work of American painter Richard Rothschild
(1926¡V2011), an important artist and sculptor who was active during the American
post-war art period. Throughout his artistic career, he demonstrated
multidisciplinary talent; in addition to painting, he was widely renowned in the
American art world for his exquisite wood carvings and bronze sculptures. He
grew up and rose to prominence in post-WWII New York, during a golden era of
cultural melting pots and artistic innovation (such as the rise of Abstract
Expressionism), which deeply influenced his artistic sensibilities. Following
the liberation and post-war reconstruction of Hong Kong, Richard Rothschild
visited the city to paint from life. This specific artwork was painted in March
1946 from the northern shore of Kowloon. In the upper-center portion of the
painting, the Chureito (Loyal Souls Tower) remains visible.

Prologue
The
renowned French thinker and master of sociology, Raymond Aron (1905¡V1983), once
remarkedwhen discussing national sovereignty and historical culture: ¡§L'argent
peut acheter beaucoup de choses,mais il ne peut pas acheter l'histoire. Un pays
qui vend son histoire, ou qui permet qu'elle soit achetée,est un pays sans âme.¡¨
(Money can buy many things, but it cannot buy history. A country that sells
itshistory, or allows its history to be bought, is a country without a soul.)

The completed appearance of the Chureito (Loyal
Souls Tower) shown in the image is reconstructed based on theoriginal design
blueprints from that era. The Hong Kong Military Government ruled Hong Kong with
the posture of anew colonist, even dreaming of an authoritarian rule over Hong
Kong that would last for generations while promotingImperial culture and
education. Little did they expect that their reign would last only three years
and eight months.

The Chureito (Loyal Souls Tower) on Mount Cameron
in Hong Kong, whose incomplete half-built tower structure was demolished by
explosives in 1947, had its original foundation fully preserved intact for as
long as 80 years. It served as a historical symbol of the three years and eight
months of the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong. Today, it has completely
vanished.

Preamble
When the Soul of History Succumbs to Ruthless Real Estate Rules
After completing this special feature on the study of Hong Kong architecture
during the Japanese occupation period stead, itleaves behind an indescribable
feeling of absurdity and sorrow.
The greatest irony of history is often not the tragedies of the past, but how
the living treat the remnants of those tragedies today.
Looking at Hong Kong now, the stage is crowded with numerous red-capped tycoons
and politicians shouting "patriotism" atthe top of their lungs. Yet, stripping
away that grand exterior reveals nothing but a crowd of opportunistic,
calculating fence-sitters. In late July 2025, when the "Cenotaph Foundation" on
Mount Cameron¡Xthe most central and irreplaceable cultural relic of World War II
in Hong Kong¡Xwas completely demolished, its granite facade stripped away,
leaving only a barrenmound, these "patriots" who usually spout historical
righteousness fell into a telling silence.
"Fortunately, some groups from the 'whatever-bureau'¡Xwith monthly salaries
ranging from HKD $83,977 to $122,043¡Xpreviously came forward to 'speak up for
justice'." By declaring that the site held "no historical value," they green-lit
the project under the guise of "procedural justice," makingeverything legal,
reasonable, and compliant!
In this gamble between history and capital, developers paid a staggering HKD 5
billion to successfully bid for and clear theland. Following this is a luxury
residential sales plan set to rise directly upon the remains of a site of
historical blood andtears. In the face of a massive 5-billion-dollar commercial
interest, the high-profile rhetoric of cultural preservation andhistorical
dignity usually paraded around was instantly trampled into worthlessness. They
chose to kneel before capital,allowing the physical history of the "three years
and eight months" to vanish entirely from Hong Kong's map, all to clear
theharbor view for future multi-millionaires.
What is even more ironical is that this very group of clever individuals¡Xwho
stood by as the relic was destroyed to cater todevelopers¡Xsubsequently assumed a
sanctimonious pose. They requested the return of the decayed wood, rusted iron,
andbroken stones buried beneath the foundation for over 80 years, solemnly
proclaiming they would place them in museums to"promote patriotic education." Is
this true patriotism, or just a political show?
If the physical architectural evidence of the Japanese invasion of China can be
casually erased, and if an authentic historical site can make way for a
5-billion-dollar luxury housing project, how much credibility does so-called
"history education" have
left? When the "soul" of history evaporates under the dual pressures of capital
and power, what remains is nothing but"historical cosmetics"¡Xspineless and open
to any manipulation.
History will remember this day. It will remember not only the leveled mound, but
also the faces of those who stayed silent or even defended the move in the face
of a 5-billion-dollar profit. This city, in the end, still places the rules of
real estate above the dignity of history.

Lieutenant General Rensuke Isogai
(1886-1967)
Lieutenant General Rensuke Isogai (1886-1967) officially assumed office as the
"Governor of the Occupied Territory of Hong Kong" on February 20, 1942, after
Japanese forces captured Hong Kong in December 1941. During his reign of over
three years, he engaged in economic plunder, forcibly abolished the Hong Kong
dollar, and introduced Japanese military hand-printed currency (military yen) as
the legal tender to aggressively strip Hong Kong of its wealth. This caused the
military yen to hyperinflate and eventually become worthless scrap paper. During
his tenure, he also organized the construction of the Chureito. To implement a
puppet administration in Hong Kong, he established the "Two Chinese
Associations," organizing the "Chinese Representative Council" and the "Chinese
Cooperative Council" to recruit pro-Japanese Chinese merchants and gentry, such
as Chan Lim-pak and Robert Kotewall, to help maintain order¡Xexemplifying a
policy of "loving Japan, loving Hong Kong, and using Chinese to govern Chinese."
He later ordered the remodeling of the Governor's House, undertaking large-scale
expansions and renovations of the Hong Kong Governor's House in Central (now
Government House), adding prominent Japanese towers and Wa-shoku
(Japanese-style) bedrooms, an architectural style that remains to this day. In
1947, a court sentenced him to life imprisonment for war crimes. He was sent to
Sugamo Prison in Tokyo to serve his sentence and was subsequently released on
parole in 1952.

This special feature utilizes AI technology to
reconstruct models of the Japanese-occupied Hong Kong Governor's House and
theChureito's base. During the Japanese occupation, the Japanese Governor,
Lieutenant General Rensuke Isogai, brought in a youngJapanese engineer and
architect named Seiichi Fujimura to simultaneously design the "Chureito" on
Bowen Hill and oversee theremodeling of the "Hong Kong Governor's House." By
observing the integration of the "Teikan-shiki" (Imperial Crown style) designand
the representative "Three Lines" style design, it becomes evident that the
former Chureito base on Mount Cameron and the HongKong Governor's House are, in
fact, closely intertwined architectural remnants of the Japanese occupation.

Lieutenant General Hisakazu Tanaka
(1889-1947)
Lieutenant General Hisakazu Tanaka (1889-1947): By late 1944, as the Allies
achieved consecutive victories in the Pacific theater, US military aircraft
began frequent bombings of Japanese-occupied Hong Kong. To strengthen the joint
defense of South China and Hong Kong and to guard against a US landing, the
Imperial Japanese Army General Headquarters decided to adjust its personnel. In
December 1944, Rensuke Isogai was transferred to Taiwan. In February 1945,
Hisakazu Tanaka officially took on the role of Governor of the Occupied
Territory of Hong Kong while concurrently serving as the"Commander of the 23rd
Army," becoming the highest Japanese commander in South China with a dual
identity. After the war, Tanaka was arrested by the Nationalist Government and
stood trial for severe crimes committed in Guangdong and Hong Kong. His primary
charges included: The Great Bombing of Guangzhou¡Xduring the 1938 offensive in
Guangdong, he ordered over a hundred aircraft to carry out indiscriminate
bombings, causing over 100,000 civilian casualties; The St. Stephen's College
Massacre¡Xduring the capture of Stanley, Hong Kong in 1941, he condoned his
troops bayoneting over 60 wounded soldiers and raping and murdering several
foreign doctors and nurses; The Torture and Execution of Allied Pilots¡Xafter
members of the US Flying Tigers (such as Major Hokke) parachuted near Hong Kong
when their planes were shotdown, they were brutally tortured and secretly
executed by his subordinates. Following the trial by the Nationalist Government,
the Military Tribunal for the Trial of War Criminals in Guangzhou sentenced him
to death in October 1946.

total disappearance is a bitter irony that authentic history ultimately
succumbed to ruthless commercial rules.

Introduction: The Vanished
Foundation of the Hong Kong Chureito and the Fracture of Historical Memory
When we witness the meticulous preservation of the Comfort Women Memorial Hall
at Lijiang Lane in Nanjing and the inscription of Poland¡¦s Auschwitz
Concentration Camp as a World Heritage site, the historical lens pans back to
Hong Kong, leaving behind a profound regret¡Xthe complete obliteration of the
Hong Kong Chureito (Loyal Souls Tower).
It is crucial to note that this humiliating monolith, symbolizing the Japanese
invasion and brutal occupation of Hong Kong, was not torn down amidst the civil
outrage or political purges of the immediate post-war colonial era, when
everything was still waiting to be rebuilt. The ultimate irony of history lies
in the fact that today, in the 21st century, while nations worldwide utilize
these wartime remnants for human rights and peace education, this historical
landmark¡Xwhich bore witness to the immense suffering of Hong Kong's "three years
and eight months" under Japanese rule¡Xhas long been completely dismantled under
the relentless wheels of urban development, leaving not a single trace. Even
when the subterranean "soul-calming sword" (Zhenling Dao) was unearthed and
extracted, what meaning does it carry anymore? It feels as tragically absurd as
leading a calf through a slaughterhouse, only to guide its mother right into the
abattoir...
This stark contrast of "others preserving while we erase" reflects several
deep-seated social and cultural phenomena:
The Overriding of Historical Value by Economic Pragmatism:
Throughout Hong Kong¡¦s developmental trajectory over the past decades, "land
value" and "economic returns" have consistently taken precedence. When a
historical remnant steeped in painful memories clashed with highly lucrative
real estate development, a pragmatic mindset invariably chose to "look forward"
by leveling spaces of immense historical significance. This exposes a collective
absence of heritage preservation awareness when confronted with commercial
interests.
Selective Amnesia of Local Wartime Memory:The ruins in Nanjing and Poland are
backed by powerful national narratives and a collective political will to
maintain a fortified line against forgetting. Conversely, Hong Kong¡¦s wartime
history has long occupied a marginalized or awkward position in mainstream
historical discourse. The demolition of the Chureito foundation reflects a
societal neglect of local resistance and civilian suffering. When a city lacks
the capacity to gaze deeply into its own history of trauma, its ruins are
dismissed merely as "unlucky debris" rather than embraced as "classrooms for
education."
The Evasive Psychology of "Out of Sight, Out of Mind":
As many initially assumed, there is a pervasive societal mentality that clearing
away bad memories somehow erases the underlying humiliation. Yet, the
destruction of the Chureito foundation does not cause the atrocities committed
by the Japanese military in Hong Kong, the St. Stephen's College massacre, or
the Silver Mine Bay massacres to vanish. This act precisely exposes our lack of
collective courage¡Xunlike Poland or Germany¡Xto confront historical ugliness and
pain head-on.
The disappearance of the Hong Kong Chureito serves as a cautionary tale. It
reminds us that when historical remnants are utterly erased, what we lose is not
merely a stone foundation. We lose the opportunity for future generations to
stand close to a tangible relic, to feel the raw cruelty of war firsthand, and
to reflect on peace and human values through civic education and historical
retrospection. In the 21st century, an era where humanity universally
understands how to use ruins to warn the future, this vanished foundation stands
as an unfillable black hole in Hong Kong¡¦s historical memory.

A Historical Interrogation
of Two Cities: Why Did Nanjing Preserve Liji Lane, While Hong Kong Lost the
Chureito?
Though
serving as identical, ironclad historical evidence of Japanese aggression and
the trampling of human rights and sovereignty, the former comfort station site
in Nanjing and the wartime ruins in Hong Kong have met with diametrically
opposed fates. Beset by the dual pressures of capital and shifting societal
perspectives, the Liji Lane Comfort Station Site in Nanjing was ultimately saved
through a joint effort of civil society, scholars, and the government, becoming
a national-level memorial site of the War of Resistance. Conversely, the
foundation of the Chureito on Mount Cameron¡Xthe largest and most symbolically
significant landmark of the Japanese occupation ("three years and eight months")
in Hong Kong¡Xwas violently uprooted and utterly obliterated under the colossal
wheels of commercial redevelopment.
The stark contrast between this single success and failure is more than just a
technical disparity in heritage conservation; it represents a profound contrast
between the two cities regarding their political ecosystems, economic logic, and
the rift between patriotic rhetoric and actual practice.
I. Nanjing vs. Hong Kong: A Comparative Analysis of Three Core
Dimensions
The
"survival" of Liji Lane versus the "death" of the Chureito foundation reflects a
vast chasm between the two regions in terms of historical positioning,
conservation mechanisms, and civic engagement:
1. Divergence in Historical Positioning: National Collective Trauma vs. The
Marginalized "Three Years and Eight Months"
The Core of Nanjing's Historical Outlook: In Nanjing, the 1937 Nanjing Massacre
and Japanese wartime sexual violence represent an untouchable collective trauma
and historical red line for the city and the entire Chinese nation. Preserving
Liji Lane possesses an unshakeable, absolute political righteousness. Any real
estate developer attempting to demolish the site would be viewed by public
opinion as standing against national righteousness, incurring immense political
risks.
Hong Kong's Marginalized Memory: In contrast, Hong Kong's historical discourse
has long leaned toward its identity as an "international commercial port since
its founding." Although the "three years and eight months" period was brutal, it
is frequently treated in official and mainstream historical narratives as a
"brief interlude" rather than the bedrock of the city's identity. As a piece of
"Negative Heritage," the Chureito's implicit value as a historical warning is
deemed by the Hong Kong government and developers to be far inferior to the
multi-billion dollar economic revenue the plot can generate.
2. Divergence in Conservation Mechanisms: Active Intervention of State Will vs.
Commerce-First Passive Administration
Nanjing's Political Institutionalization: When Liji Lane faced crises such as
demolition and fires, local scholars withstood immense pressure to trigger a
wave of public awareness. Subsequently, delegates of the "Two Sessions" (NPC &
CPPCC) of Jiangsu Province and Nanjing City intensively submitted proposals,
elevating the issue to the height of national security and international
diplomacy. This compelled the local government to prioritize political
imperatives, sacrificing commercial interests to construct the memorial museum.
Hong Kong's "Procedural Justice" Greenlight: Hong Kong's Antiquities and
Monuments Office (AMO) has long adhered to a market-driven, technocratic
mindset. Under the current Antiquities and Monuments Ordinance, authorities are
extremely reluctant to declare private properties as monuments, as doing so
implies paying exorbitant financial compensation or executing a "land exchange"
with property tycoons. Consequently, officials adopted a strategy of
decoupling¡Xconfiscating the swords and tablets to fulfill formal accountability
while debasing the core "foundation site" as ordinary stones lacking independent
value, technically greenlighting the developer's project through administrative
procedures.
3. Divergence in Civic and Media Engagement: A Decade of Public Resistance vs.
The Helplessness of Compressed Space
Nanjing's Civil Resistance: The preservation of Liji Lane was inseparable from
over a decade of unyielding fieldwork by scholars like Jing Shenghong, coupled
with continuous investigative reporting by local media. Broad public
participation forged a powerful force of civic oversight.
The Conservation Faultline in Hong Kong: In recent years, Hong Kong's social
environment has undergone a drastic transformation, severely compressing the
space for traditional civil conservation groups, independent media, and academic
discourse. When the Chureito foundation was covertly excavated and swiftly
demolished, civil society lacked a powerful public opinion platform to
coordinate cross-sector actions. The public only learned the truth when the
engineering work was nearly completed, causing this battle for history to end in
a silent and "passive failure."
II. Debunking the Rhetoric: The Collective Dereliction of Duty by
Hong Kong's "Patriotic Groups" and Merchants
Recently,
Hong Kong's political ecosystem has experienced a fundamental shift. Whether for
real estate tycoons or various political parties and social organizations, old
and new alike, "patriotism" has become the most central political slogan.
However, when the Chureito foundation¡Xthe largest historical remnant of the
Japanese occupation period in Hong Kong¡Xfaced total annihilation, the collective
silence of these groups exposed a deeply hypocritical, "slogan-style
patriotism."
1. The Shrewd Calculations of Developers: Patriotism as a Business, History
Giving Way to Extravagant Profits
Hong Kong developers are always quick to fall in line with political rhetoric,
frequently making donations or organizing various celebratory events. Yet, when
confronted with this premium, ultra-expensive plot for luxury housing atop Mount
Cameron (Bowen Hill), commercial instincts instantly overrode historical
sentiment. To utilize the plot ratio to its absolute limit, construct high-end
villas yielding billions or tens of billions in profit, and excavate multi-story
underground garages, they unhesitatingly chose to erase this physical ironclad
proof of Japanese aggression. For them, real historical artifacts obstruct
fortune-making, whereas slogan-style patriotism guarantees political safety; the
choice was glaringly obvious.
2. The
Collective Silence of Political Groups: Watching the Wind from Above, Blind to
Historical Justice
Hong Kong's existing pro-establishment political parties and various patriotic
associations routinely exhibit great enthusiasm for hosting "War of Resistance
Commemorative Exhibitions" or historical lectures. However, when the Chureito
foundation¡Xthe only, largest, and most viable living textbook for patriotic and
historical education within Hong Kong¡Xwas on the brink of destruction, not a
single mainstream political group stepped forward to file an urgent question in
the Legislative Council. Not a single association protested at the construction
site, and no one pressured the developer to preserve the foundation. This
exposes their "patriotism" as highly selective and utilitarian¡Xas long as it
does not touch the interests of massive conglomerates or defy the government's
grand direction for commercial urban renewal, they choose to turn a blind eye
and remain deaf. This posture of "all talk and no action" is precisely what
drove this historic monument into total extinction.
III. The Vanished Foundation: What Has Hong Kong Lost?
The utter destruction of the Chureito foundation on Mount Cameron has left an
irremediable historical regret. This foundation was far more than a few blocks
of granite; it was a silent tombstone for the military and civilians who
perished in the Battle of Hong Kong in December 1941, the ultimate spatial
symbol of the brutal colonial rule during the "three years and eight months,"
and a powerful physical testament to the intertwined destinies of modern Hong
Kong and the nation. While Nanjing preserved the weeping gray brick walls of
Liji Lane right behind its bustling commercial districts to manifest peace and
justice to the world, Hong Kong chose to eternally bury its most crucial
historical warning beneath the foundations of luxury peak mansions.
This jarring contrast between Nanjing and Hong Kong undoubtedly delivers a
profoundly heavy and ironic history lesson to present-day Hong Kong: when a city
can casually erase its most monumental historical scars for commercial profit,
and when "patriotism" is reduced to a mutually beneficial political slogan for
merchants and politicians, the city is single-handedly hollowing out its own
cultural roots and collective memory. The disappearance of the Chureito
foundation stands as an absolute, agonizing, and monumental failure in the
history of Hong Kong's heritage conservation.

A Century-Defining Question for
Historical Heritage: Memory and Oblivion in a Commercial Society Through the
Lenses of Auschwitz, Liji Lane, and Hong Kong's Chureito
Historical sites serve as silent textbooks and living educational tools to
prevent future wars and atrocities from repeating. The German philosopher Karl
Jaspers once conceptual¤Fed reflections on "guilt" (Die Schuldfrage), pointing
out that posterity preserves sites of crime not to perpetuate hatred, but to
engage in profound moral and historical introspection.However, when we turn our
gaze to three global locations that bear the weight of extreme World War II
atrocities and state aggression¡Xthe Auschwitz Concentration Camp in Poland, the
Liji Lane Comfort Station Site in Nanjing, and the Chureito foundation on Mount
Cameron in Hong Kong¡Xwe discover they have met vastly different destinies in
modern society.The survival or destruction of these three coordinates precisely
maps out a brutal spectrum stretching from "all-human historical
self-reflection" to "extreme commercialized oblivion."
I. The Spectrum of Three Great Historical Sites: From Beacons of
Civilization to Luxury Home Foundations
While all
three sites stand as ironclad evidence of human rights violations and aggression
perpetrated by the Japanese and Nazi German militaries, their positioning and
ultimate fates in contemporary society present a jarring contrast: [The
Preservation Spectrum of WWII Negative Heritage] Auschwitz Concentration Camp
(Poland): All-Human Reflection / World Heritage Site Liji Lane Comfort Station
Site (Mainland China): National-Level Historical Justice / Unyielding Civil
Resistance Hong Kong Chureito Foundation (Hong Kong, China): Commerce-First /
Utterly Obliterated for Multi-Billion Dollar Luxury Mansions
1. Auschwitz Concentration Camp in Poland: A Civilizational Warning Light for
All Humanity
As the "death factory" where Nazi Germany slaughtered over 1.1 million people,
Auschwitz was legally protected by the Polish government as a state museum
shortly after the war (1947) and was inscribed onto the UNESCO World Heritage
List in 1979. Preservation and Introspection: Here, the gas chambers, the hair
of the victims, and piles of discarded shoes have been preserved exactly as they
were found. Successive German leaders have knelt, apologized, and reflected at
this site. It transcends geopolitics to become the supreme spiritual landmark
for humanity in defending human rights and rejecting totalitarianism and war.
Here, historical dignity and self-reflection reign supreme above all economic
development.
2.Nanjing Liji Lane Comfort Women Asylum:
The Interweaving of National Justice and Grassroots Defense: No. 2 Liji Lane is
the largest surviving comfort women asylum in Asia, and the only one personally
identified by a survivor, Park Young-sim, as a institutionalized military sexual
slavery control center managed by the Japanese army. A Victory Against Capital:
This site is also located in the most prosperous core commercial district of
Nanjing and has repeatedly faced threats of demolition from developers'
excavators and mysterious fires. However, Nanjing citizens, scholars, and
lawmakers unleashed a tsunami of public opinion, fighting capital with "the
tears of living evidence," which ultimately prompted the intervention of the
national will.
The government chose to establish an exhibition hall, willingly forfeiting
billions in land sales revenue, to transform it into a "National-Level
Anti-Japanese War Heritage Site" for reflecting on wartime atrocities and
safeguarding women's dignity. The Foundation of the Loyalty Tower on Mount
Cameron, Hong Kong:
A Heritage Thoroughly Swallowed by Commercial Profits: In stark contrast to the
preservation of the previous two sites, the foundation of the Loyalty Tower on
Mount Cameron¡Xthe largest and most symbolic Imperial Japanese colonial landmark
during the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong (three years and eight months)¡Xwas
uprooted and completely leveled during a luxury residential redevelopment
project from 2025 to 2026. The Split of "Keeping the Treasure, Scraping the
Site": Officials and developers utilized technical packaging to salvage the
"military swords and stone tablets" found underground, while downgrading the
core "foundation heritage" to valueless, ordinary stones. To allow the peak
luxury mansions to "maximize the plot ratio" and to excavate multi-level
underground garages for maximizing tens of billions in commercial profits, this
sole spatial evidence of the Japanese occupation in Hong Kong vanished into thin
air under administrative green lights.
II. Why Has "History Always Been Unimportant to Commercial
Society" in Hong Kong
The complete failure to preserve the Hong Kong Loyalty Tower foundation nakedly
exposes the indifference and utilitarianism of a hyper-commercialized society
toward historical memory. "Economic Rationality" Under Land Fetishism: In the
deeply rooted social subconscious of Hong Kong, "land" is not a vessel for
collective memory, but a financial asset for calculating return on investment.
History Yields to Money: In the prime location of the Peak, preserving an
oppressive foundation of a Japanese military loyalty tower is viewed in
commercial logic as a "negative asset" and "unlucky."
When weighing a "hidden living textbook of war" against "billions or tens of
billions in luxury residential tax revenues and profits," developers and
technocrats always tilt the scale toward the latter without suspense. This
"economic rationality" that commodifies everything is the ultimate driver behind
the erasure of history.
The Chasm Between Slogan-Style Patriotism and Actual Action: In recent years,
Hong Kong's political and business circles have enthusiastically used
"patriotism" as their core political slogan, frequently hosting various
formalistic commemorative exhibitions of the Anti-Japanese War. However, when
confronting the Loyalty Tower¡Xthe most grand and concrete physical warning of
that era¡Xdevelopers tore it down for profit, while political groups branding
themselves as patriotic stayed collectively silent, with not a single individual
taking real action in the Legislative Council or at the construction site to
protect the foundation.
An Empty Symbol:
This proves that in a commercial society, "patriotism" and "history" are often
reduced to empty symbols used to trade for political safety. Once the core
economic interests of major conglomerates are touched, real historical
footprints can be cleared away as "waste" at any moment.
III. Lacking Living Textbooks, What Has Hong Kong Lost?
Poland
kept Auschwitz, allowing the world to stay vigilant against the banality of
evil; Nanjing kept Liji Lane, allowing the world to remember the trampling of
human nature by war; Hong Kong, however, chose to permanently bury its
historical scars beneath the luxurious neon lights of the Peak. The
disappearance of this living historical textbook means Hong Kong has lost its
most powerful, direct spatial refutation regarding that period of "three years
and eight months." When the physical foundation no longer exists, future
generations can only "imagine" the war through the glass display cases of
museums and the cold words of textbooks.
This decontextualization of history easily leads to the fading of collective
memory and the detachment of emotion. This is undoubtedly a massive tragedy for
modern Hong Kong society: a commercial society that worships nothing but plot
ratios and luxury housing profits, and willingly erases its own heaviest
historical memories, will ultimately march toward cultural and spiritual
hollowization amidst a bustling jungle of reinforced concrete.
The disappearance of the Loyalty Tower foundation will serve as a textbook stain
of commercial capital overriding historical justice, forever recorded in the
history of Hong Kong's development.

Greenlight to Erase History: The
Destruction of the "Chureito" Foundation on Mount Cameron Exposes the
Institutional Bias in Hong Kong's Heritage Conservation
Between
2024 and 2026, a redevelopment project atop Bowen Hill (also known as Mount
Cameron) on Hong Kong Island sparked profound regret among historians and
conservationists.
Following the demolition of the historic "Cameron Mansions," the remains of the
Japanese military's "Chureito" (Memorial Tower)¡Xburied beneath the building's
foundation for over 80 years¡Xwere completely obliterated through the
"collaboration" between the developer and the Antiquities and Monuments Office (AMO).
On the surface, this appeared to be a routine urban renewal driven by a lack of
"sufficient heritage value." However, a deeper analysis of the underlying plot
ratio traps and commercial logic reveals that total excavation was by no means a
technical necessity. Instead, it was a shrewd calculation by the developer to
utilize the plot ratio to its absolute limit and maximize profits, while the
official heritage rating essentially greenlit a multi-billion dollar development
blueprint.
I. The Calculation of Plot Ratio: Why Must the Developer Demolish
the Foundation?
A common public misconception is that since Cameron Mansions has already been
demolished, the developer could simply erect new buildings on the existing land.
Why root out even the granite Chureito foundation, which is buried deep
underground without affecting the surface landscape? This involves the core
rules of Hong Kong's real estate game: Plot Ratio and Site Coverage.
1. The Old Foundation Limits the "Maximized Layout" of the New Building
The base of the Japanese military's Chureito was immensely massive, featuring a
solid structure built from heavy granite blocks.
Wasted Space: If this giant stone base were preserved, the new building¡¦s
underground parking, utility piles, and lobby support points would all have to
accommodate this 80-year-old, castle-tower-like historical structure.
Basement Design Variables: In the premium hilltop luxury residential market, the
ability to build multi-story underground garages, private wine cellars, or
exclusive clubhouses directly dictates the final property price. Preserving the
foundation means the developer cannot excavate downward, effectively forfeiting
vast amounts of "invisible area" that are excluded from plot ratio calculations
but significantly boost property value.
2. Profit Maximization via Plot Ratio Transfer and Re-planning
After the Cameron Mansions site changed hands, the new developer was bound to
squeeze every single drop out of the plot's statutory plot ratio.
Structural Safety and Redevelopment Loans: Utilizing an old foundation to build
a new tower imposes extremely high thresholds for structural approval from the
Buildings Department and for securing redevelopment loans from banks.
The Commercial Logic of Starting Anew: To build ultra-modern, floor-to-ceiling
glass hilltop mansions aligned with contemporary tycoon aesthetics, the
developer required a "blank slate."
Only by completely demolishing and leveling the Chureito base can the site
layout be perfectly re-planned to construct the maximum number of villas with
the most expansive views, yielding returns in the billions or tens of billions
of dollars.
II. The "Perfect Collaboration" Between Officials and Merchants:
Debasing Historical Heritage as "Devoid of Conservation Value"
Behind this multi-billion dollar development, the role of the AMO¡Xsupposedly the
gatekeeper of history¡Xhas been heavily questioned.
Public opinion points out that under the guise of "procedural justice,"
authorities have effectively dismissed the only landmark of Japanese colonial
rule in Hong Kong as having no heritage value, even using the "incomplete nature
of the foundation structure" as a pretext. However, whether it lacks value does
not require expert judgment; any Hong Kong citizen with a basic civic education
is fully capable of making that assessment.
1. The
2025 "Toothpaste-Squeezing" Archaeology: A Ritualistic Compromise
In early 2025, licensed archeologists excavating the foundation at the Cameron
Mansions construction site discovered metal military swords, stone tablets, and
other Gochinmotsu (ritual offerings to appease the earth) buried by Rensuke
Isogai during the Japanese occupation.
The unearthing of these military swords should have been a monumental historical
discovery that stunned all of Hong Kong, serving as conclusive evidence of the
foundation's immense historical and archeological value. However, the
Antiquities and Monuments Office (AMO) and the developer adopted a strategy of
"retrieving the treasures while abandoning the site":
Decoupling Artifacts from the Site: Officials swiftly confiscated the swords and
stone tablets, subsequently declaring to the public that "artifacts of value
have been properly preserved."
Depreciating the Base's Value: The remaining massive granite base was
categorized as "merely fragments of concrete and stone blocks," "lacking
independent architectural aesthetics," and "devoid of value for in-situ
preservation." Through this decontextualized interpretation, a complete
historical site was dismantled into "a few artifacts" and "a pile of rubble."
2. The
Tacit Agreement of "No Grading": A Technical Greenlight via Administrative Means
Under Hong Kong's current heritage conservation framework, only structures
designated as "Declared Monuments" enjoy absolute immunity from demolition.
Cameron Mansions itself did not fall into this category, and the underground
Chureito foundation was consistently given the cold shoulder during the grading
evaluation process.
If the AMO were to classify the foundation as a historic building, the developer
could legally demand exorbitant financial compensation or a "land exchange,"
which would heavily burden the government's finances. Consequently, the
authorities chose to technically rule that its "conservation value was
insufficient." Following this, the Hong Kong government logically issued an
approval in May 2026, allowing the foundation to be completely demolished and
leveled. This administrative procedure objectively cleared all legal obstacles,
giving the developer's project a flawless greenlight.
III. The Historical Cost Beneath Profits: Erasing "Negative
Heritage"
Historians frequently invoke the concept of "Negative Heritage"¡Xstructures that
document aggression, humiliation, and atrocities. The conservation value of such
heritage lies not in its "aesthetic appeal," but in its capacity to serve as a
"grim reminder."
The foundation of the Chureito on Mount Cameron in Hong Kong stood as the most
direct spatial ironclad proof of the occupation and the fall of Hong Kong during
the "three years and eight months" under Japanese rule. Driven by commercial
interests, the developer¡Xseeking immense profits from luxury real
estate¡Xnaturally could not tolerate an "unlucky" and planning-obstructive
Japanese military relic remaining on the site. Meanwhile, the regulatory
authorities, aiming to accommodate urban development and avoid conflicts of
interest with the business sector, opted for the easiest path: non-intervention.
The ultimate consequence of this tacit collaboration between officials and
business is that history has been locked inside museum glass display cases (the
swords and stone tablets), whereas the physical site (the foundation)¡Xwhich
carried this piece of history and could have served as a landmark for collective
memory and patriotic education¡Xhas vanished forever beneath the foundations of
luxury peak mansions. The defeat in this "Battle for Mount Cameron's History"
once again exposes the weakness and compromise of Hong Kong's heritage
conservation system when confronted with massive real estate economic interests.

Historical Background and the Burying of
the "Go-Shizumono" (Ritual Implements)
On December 8, 1942,
the Japanese army held a "Ji-chinsai" (groundbreaking ceremony) for the "Chureito"
(Loyalty Memorial Tower) atop Bowen Hill on Hong Kong Island. The military sword
served as a grand symbol: the Japanese authorities commissioned a master
swordsmith to forge it specifically for this purpose. Japanese Governor Isogai
Rensuke and other high-ranking officials personally buried the sword, along with
stone tablets and wooden artifacts, beneath the tower's foundation. Acting as
the "Go-Shizumono" (objects to pacify the land and tower), they symbolized the
continuous victories of the Imperial Army and its colonial absolute rule over
Hong Kong.
The Rumor and Disappearance of the Loyalty Memorial Tower's
Sacred Implements
After World War II, the Loyalty Memorial Tower was demolished via explosives by
the British Hong Kong Government in 1947, and the original site was later
redeveloped into the luxury residential complex, Cameron Mansions. For decades,
the location of the military sword remained unknown, deteriorating into an urban
legend rumored to be hidden alongside treasures or classified documents. The
turning point for its archaeological unearthing arrived in 2025: Cameron
Mansions commenced demolition and redevelopment in 2024. During archaeological
monitoring at the construction site in early 2025, researchers chipped through
the remaining granite foundation of the Loyalty Memorial Tower, finally
discovering the metallic sword, stone tablets, and wooden fragments enclosed
within a stone box.
In 2025, the Antiquities and Monuments Office confirmed this discovery, with
experts stepping in to conduct restoration and research on the relics.
Subsequently, in May 2026, the Hong Kong Government issued a consent agreement,
leading to the complete demolition and leveling of the last remaining foundation
of the Loyalty Memorial Tower. The entire conservation process ended instantly
before it could even begin or be debated. The discovery of this "soul-pacifying
sword" brought no genuine pleasant surprise; instead, it merely allowed certain
parties to "check a box" for their assignments. The historical mystery was
solved, and so arrived the perfect moment to completely erase the historical
relic. This regret is now irreversible, yet it leaves room for profound
reflection. Tragically, the place where we must look for this reflection lies
far away from Hong Kong¡X1,179 kilometers away, in the former capital of the
Republic of China, at the Nanjing Liji Lane Comfort Women Asylum Old Site, where
the true answers await. \

At the main site of the Lijiang Lane Comfort Women
Asylum Museum in Nanjing, a bronze statue stands in memory of the female
victims. The statue depicts endless weeping and profound sorrow, condemning the
Japanese military's coercive methods that forced virtuous women into
prostitution, plunging them into boundless suffering.

In the long river of history, certain place names
bear an indelible national trauma. Liji Lane, located in the Qinhuan District of
Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, China, stands silently behind the bustling Daxinggong
commercial district. Within this narrow alleyway, stretching only about 300
meters, remains a cluster of Republic of China-era historical buildings defined
by black tiles and square windows. This is the Exhibition Hall of the Former
Nanjing Liji Lane Comfort Women Asylum Site¡Xthe largest and best-preserved
former "comfort station" of the invading Japanese army in Asia, and the only one
personally identified on-site by a living survivor.
From a high-class residential quarter to a "planning station" (an
institutionalized system of sexual slavery) where the Japanese military trampled
upon human rights, and finally to today's national-level anti-fascist war
memorial monument, Liji Lane, with its broken walls and crumbling bastions,
chronicles a blood-and-tear history spanning nearly a century.
I. Pre-War Precursor: The "Puqing New Village" of a Republic of China General
The origins of the Liji Lane architectural cluster were not always shrouded in
gloom.
Between 1935 and 1937, Yang Chunpu, then a Major General of the Nationalist
Army, purchased land in the Liji Lane area of Nanjing and successively built a
series of two-story, concrete-and-brick Western-style houses, naming the complex
"Puqing New Village." At that time, it was a modern, elegant, and upscale
residential area, flanked by sports fields and ponds, with the Nanjing municipal
narrow-gauge railway running nearby¡Xa vibrant reflection of the prosperity and
daily life of the Republic's capital. However, this tranquility was utterly
shattered by the artillery fire of the Japanese army in the winter of 1937.
II. The Occupation Era: "Higashidumo" and "Kikyoro" Under Japanese National
Policy
In December 1937, the Japanese army captured Nanjing, and the horrific Nanjing
Massacre ensued. To suppress international condemnation of the Japanese
military's large-scale atrocities of sexual violence, and to prevent the spread
of venereal diseases within the ranks to maintain combat effectiveness, the high
command of the Japanese military swiftly established the "comfort women" system
as a pillar of national policy, executing a planned and organized grid of
comfort stations across Nanjing.
The secluded and multi-structured "Puqing New Village" was immediately seized by
the Japanese military and thoroughly re-engineered into a sexual slavery
apparatus dedicated to satisfying the primal desires of the imperial troops:
Liji Lane No. 2 (Higashidumo Comfort Station): Primarily imprisoned young women
from the Korean Peninsula and China, mostly catering to ordinary Japanese
soldiers. The building was equipped with a ticket office, a bar, and small,
partitioned rooms resembling prison cells.
Liji Lane No. 18 (Kikyoro Comfort Station): Primarily served as a station for
Japanese-born "comfort women," which was later integrated with No. 2 and catered
predominantly to Japanese military officers.
Here, countless women were stripped of their fundamental human dignity. The
Japanese military institutionalized this site as a component of military
logistics through "systematic planning": strictly restricting the women's
freedom of movement, enforcing mandatory military medical checkups, and managing
them through serial numbers. The cramped attic on the top floor was used as a
solitary confinement cell to imprison and brutally beat victims who dared to
disobey. This once-warm residential quarter was transformed into a veritable
living hell.
III. Irrefutable Evidence of History: The Tearful Identification by Survivor
Park Young-sim
After the war, this cluster of buildings reverted to civilian use, gradually
turning into chaotic residential courtyards and storefronts. The dark history of
Liji Lane No. 2 fell into a long, silent slumber under the dust of time.
It was not until November 2003 that history reached a decisive turning point.
Park Young-sim, an elderly survivor and a Korean "comfort woman," returned to
Nanjing accompanied by scholars from China, Japan, and South Korea. Although
more than half a century had passed and the urban landscape had changed
drastically, the elderly woman¡Xrelying entirely on her agonizing
memories¡Xprecisely identified Room 19 on the second floor of Liji Lane No. 2 as
the exact room where she had been imprisoned and brutally violated by the
Japanese army for three long years.
The tearful, on-site testimony of Park Young-sim tore through the lies of the
Japanese right-wing attempting to conceal history. From that moment on, Liji
Lane No. 2 became an universally recognized, irrefutable ironclad proof of the
Japanese military's "comfort women" system within the global academic community.
IV. Protection and Rebirth: From Ruins to a National Memorial
With the rapid tide of urban development, Liji Lane repeatedly faced the crisis
of being demolished. However, under the fierce and passionate appeals of
numerous historians, National People's Congress representatives, and various
sectors of society, this architectural site¡Xwhich carried the profound suffering
of nations¡Xwas ultimately preserved in its entirety.
June 2014: The former Liji Lane Comfort Women Asylum site was officially marked
with a historical monument plaque and added to the list of Nanjing Municipal
Cultural Relics Protection Units.
November 2014: The Nanjing Municipal People's Government officially launched the
restoration and exhibition curation work, designating the site as a branch hall
of the Memorial Hall of the Victims in the Nanjing Massacre by Japanese
Invaders.
December 1, 2015: The newly renovated Exhibition Hall of the Former Nanjing Liji
Lane Comfort Women Asylum Site officially opened to the public.
2019 and 2020: The site was successively designated by the State Council as a
member of the "Eighth Batch of Major Historical and Cultural Sites Protected at
the National Level" and the "Third Batch of National Anti-Japanese War Memorial
Facilities and Sites."
Today, inside the Liji Lane Exhibition Hall, a massive "Wall of Tears" has been
designed, where black-and-white photographs are covered with the frozen tears of
multiple "comfort women" survivors who endured a lifetime of vicissitudes. The
building's structural framework, the suffocatingly narrow corridors, and even
the original medical testing laboratory and the everyday items once used by the
victims have been rigorously restored. This devil¡¦s den of vice, systematically
engineered by the occupying Japanese military, has weathered decades of storm
and rain. It has ultimately transformed into a historical lecture hall that
exposes Japanese military atrocities to the world and awakens the human
conscience¡Xstanding in deep, silent contemplation in the very heart of downtown
Nanjing.

From its official identification in 2003 to the
formal completion of the exhibition hall in 2015, the path toward conserving the
former site of the Nanjing Liji Lane Comfort Women Asylum was anything but
smooth. On the contrary, the word "Demolish" was painted in giant characters
across these buildings multiple times. Trapped in a multi-sided squeeze of
commercial development, conservative traditional mindsets, and political apathy,
the site verged on being leveled to the ground on several occasions.
The following is an in-depth analysis of this "demolition vs. preservation"
gamble that spanned over a decade, revealing the layered resistance behind the
scenes and illustrating how Nanjing citizens and scholars defended this painful
memory with their own flesh and blood.
I. Why Did "Anti-Conservation" Sentiments and Obstacles Arise?
The reason why the Liji Lane old site was denied official "heritage
identification" for so long, and even faced the fate of total erasure, lies in
the entanglement of the following three core contradictions:
1. Commercial Development Interests in a District Where Every Inch of Land Is
Gold
Liji Lane is situated within Nanjing's Daxinggong commercial hub, immediately
adjacent to the Presidential Palace, the Central Hotel, and East Zhongshan
Road¡Xrendering it one of the most central and astronomically priced prime real
estate plots in Nanjing.
The Lure of the "Premium Land King": During the frenzy of China's urban renewal
(demolition and reconstruction) in the 2000s, this Republic of China-era
architectural cluster, spanning thousands of square meters, was viewed by
developers as a goldmine capable of yielding hundreds of millions in profit.
Local Fiscal Considerations: Certain grassroots government departments were
heavily inclined to lease this plot to real estate tycoons for the construction
of high-end office towers or shopping malls, aiming to secure massive upfront
land premium fees and long-term commercial tax revenues.
2. Traditional Mindsets and the "Stigma Theory" Held by Local Officials
The history of "comfort women" involves severe sexual violence and the utter
devastation of human rights. Within the conservative social framework of the
past, it was frequently misunderstood as a "shameful history."
The Fallacy of "Washing Dirty Linen at Home": Some local officials publicly
stated that the comfort station symbolized a "tragic, humiliating, and indecent"
chapter of national history. Keeping it in the bustling city center would
supposedly "damage the city's image" and "look unsightly." They advocated for
its demolition under the guise of "getting rid of the old to welcome the new."
The Defensive Rejection by Local Residents: The ordinary citizens who had lived
together in this crowded compound for decades after the war lacked a scientific
and historical understanding of this past. Harborside a sense of distaste
because the site had once functioned as a "brothel" (a Japanese military
brothel), they adopted a passive or outright hostile attitude toward its
conservation.
3. "Planning Paralyzed" by Cross-Regional Administrative Mergers
The conservation of cultural heritage demands continuous and stable policy
support. However, during the critical phase of preserving the Liji Lane old
site, Nanjing underwent an administrative rezoning where Baixia District merged
into Qinhuai District (creating the new Qinhuai District). The resulting
organizational reshuffling and frequent turnover of officials caused the
previously submitted applications for the "memorial hall establishment project"
to repeatedly evaporate into thin air, plunging the site into an administrative
vacuum where "no one took the lead, and no one held accountability."
II. What Tactics Were Employed to "Engineer Its Demolition"?
During this decade-long tug-of-war, forces opposing the conservation¡Xcoupled
with environmental degradation¡Xresorted to various direct and indirect
stratagems, attempting to let these historical buildings "disappear naturally":
Forced Relocation and Gated Enclosures: As early as 2004 and 2005, developers
erected high construction fences around the perimeter of the plot and forcefully
evacuated the residents. Amidst the deafening roar of excavators, neighboring
non-protected structures crumbled one after another. In an instant, Liji Lane
No. 2 was reduced to a desolate "island of demolition," constantly stalked by
the imminent peril of being "mistakenly bulldozed."
Mysterious Fires (2008): In 2008, two sudden and massive blazes broke out within
the historical architectural cluster, incinerating the roofs, crossbeams, and
windows of most houses. Such "accidental fires"¡Xcuriously frequent occurrences
on lands slated for redevelopment¡Xinflicted a near-fatal blow on the buildings'
structures, almost allowing them to be logically and legally cleared under the
pretext of being "irreparable hazardous ruins."
Deliberate Abandonment and Desecration: From the aftermath of the fires until
2013, the site was left entirely unmanaged for a prolonged period. Some
surrounding neighborhoods even treated this priceless historical vestige as an
open-air garbage transfer station and a wasteland. Opponents of preservation
attempted to utilize this method of "letting it rot amidst foul stench" to
provoke resentment among local residents, thereby engineering a wave of public
opinion to "demolish it in accordance with the people's will."
III. How Did Nanjing Citizens and Scholars Stand Their Ground and
Fight Back?
Faced with the dual crushing weight of capital and political power, the only
reason Liji Lane managed to survive was that a group of grassroots scholars,
ordinary citizens, and media outlets in Nanjing initiated a protracted and
unyielding "cultural relic defense war."
[The Trilogy of Civic Defense]
From Ironclad Historical Evidence (Scholar Identification) to an Ocean of Public
Opinion (Citizens and Media), and Culminating in Political Pressure (NPC
Proposals)
1. Scholars Racing Against Time to Salvage Ironclad Historical Proof
Represented by Professor Jing Shenghong of the Department of History at Nanjing
Normal University, a group of scholars voluntarily initiated extensive field
research into various comfort stations across Nanjing as early as 2000. Upon
hearing that Liji Lane was facing imminent demolition, they braved immense
pressure and mobilized resources across multiple fronts. Their relentless
efforts ultimately facilitated the on-site, personal identification by elderly
Korean survivor Park Young-sim in 2003. The tears of this "living evidence"
became the most formidable weapon against the excavators of real estate tycoons.
2. Local Citizens and Media Igniting an Ocean of Public Opinion
Nanjing's local media outlets (such as Modern Express and Nanjing Daily),
standing firm against the interference of commercial interests, provided
continuous investigative coverage over several years regarding the dilapidated
state of Liji Lane and the shady undercurrents behind the mysterious fires.
Nanjing citizens flooded editorial offices with submissions and launched waves
of vocal support online. Citizens declared with burning indignation: "If we
cannot even safeguard the largest comfort station in Asia, what weapon do we
have left to counter the Japanese right-wing when they deny history?" This
profound sense of collective historical crisis swiftly crystallized into immense
social and public pressure.
3. Mainland Chinese NPC Representatives and CPPCC Members Standing Ground Within
the System
Buoyed by the roaring tide of public opinion, multiple representatives of the
National People's Congress (NPC) and members of the Chinese People's Political
Consultative Conference (CPPCC) from Nanjing Municipality, Jiangsu Province, and
even the national level submitted dense proposals for the "Urgent Protection of
the Former Nanjing Liji Lane Comfort Women Asylum Site" during the annual "Two
Wees" sessions for consecutive years. They exerted systemic pressure on the
local government from the heights of national security, international diplomacy,
and historical justice¡Xultimately compelling the National Cultural Heritage
Administration and the Nanjing Municipal Government to intervene and issue an
administrative order to "suspend demolition."
Conclusion
The conservation triumph of the former Nanjing Liji Lane Comfort Women Asylum
site stands as a textbook paradigm of grassroots justice conquering commercial
capital. The citizens and scholars of Nanjing harbored a deep conviction that
while this architectural relic symbolized humiliation and agony, it was, above
all, an irreplaceable piece of "criminal evidence." Allowing it to be swallowed
by towering skyscrapers would not only inflict a secondary trauma upon the
victimized women but would also constitute an outright betrayal of history. It
is precisely this collective obsession with "refusing to forget" that allows
people today, behind the cacophony of the commercial district, to gaze upon that
grey brick wall wherein the blood and tears of Asian women remain permanently
frozen.

From the Comfort Women Memorial Hall at Lijiang Lane in Nanjing, to the wartime
Chureito (Loyal Souls Tower) in Hong Kong, and to the Auschwitz-Birkenau
Concentration Camp in Poland, these sites bear the heaviest suffering and
collective trauma in human history. Confronted with these ruins, which are
filled with brutality, bloodshed, and humiliation, an inevitable question arises
in people's minds:
"Since this is such a shameful chapter of history and the worst memory for all
of humanity, why don't we simply demolish and bury it, instead of spending vast
fortunes to preserve it intact?"
History has not been erased because preserving these disaster sites holds four
irreplaceable core meanings for contemporary and future generations.
1. Defying Oblivion: The Silent Yet Most Powerful Evidence of
History
As time marches on, the survivors and perpetrators who personally witnessed this
history will pass away one after another. If the concentration camps are
demolished, history will gradually turn into a few lines of cold numbers in
textbooks, easily questioned or even completely denied by later generations.
The gas chambers, railway tracks, and piles of victims' shoes, eyeglasses, and
hair inside the Auschwitz Concentration Camp serve as the most silent yet direct
evidence of history. It leaves historical revisionists, who attempt to deny the
Holocaust, with nowhere to hide in the face of ironclad proof. Preserving the
ruins is done precisely to lock in the authenticity of history.
2. A Warning for the Future: Gazing into the "Banality of Evil"
and the Abyss of Human Nature
The German philosopher Hegel once said, "The only thing we learn from history is
that we learn nothing from history." The existence of Auschwitz stands as an
eternal alarm.
The most insidious aspect it demonstrates is that the Holocaust was not carried
out solely by a few madmen. Instead, it was the result of the entire state
apparatus, the bureaucratic system, and countless "ordinary, normal people"
blindly obeying and indifferently standing by. Preserving this place forces
every successor who walks into it to ponder: when extremism, racial hatred, and
collective madness rise again, will we also become accomplices who add fuel to
the fire?
3. Moving Forward with the Burden: The Perpetrators' Reflection
and the Victims' Dignity
For the victims and their descendants, preserving the ruins is not intended to
propagate hatred, but to grant the deceased their due dignity. It has become a
space for collective mourning, remembrance, and redemption.
For Poland, and later for Germany, the preservation of Auschwitz showcases a
mature outlook on history¡Xthe "courage to directly confront ugliness." A truly
great and confident nation does not need to maintain its image by erasing a
shameful past. Instead, it demonstrates its determination to never repeat these
mistakes to the world by acknowledging its errors and preserving the evidence of
its crimes. This is precisely why UNESCO inscribed it on the World Heritage List
in 1979.
4. Transforming from a "Place of Death" into a "Lecture Hall of Peace"
Today's Auschwitz Concentration Camp is no longer merely a site where tragedy
occurred; it has transformed into the world's most important human rights
education base.
Every year, millions of young people, students, and international dignitaries
visit this place. When people witness firsthand the devastating consequences
brought by hatred, what is sparked here is not a mindset of revenge, but a
profound identification with peace, tolerance, human rights, and pluralistic
values. It transforms the negative energy of history into a defense mechanism
that safeguards modern civilization.
5. Memory Is the Only Weapon Against Evil
Just as the famous quote by George Santayana, inscribed on one of the walls of
the Auschwitz Concentration Camp, states: "Those who cannot remember the past
are condemned to repeat it."
Clearing away bad memories may superficially bring a brief comfort of "out of
sight, out of mind," but in reality, it cuts off the defensive line that keeps
humanity from falling into depravity again. Whether it is Nanjing's Lijiang
Lane, Hong Kong's Chureito, or Poland's Auschwitz, these ruins are preserved not
for us to wallow in pain and hatred, but to teach us how to walk fearlessly
toward the light after having gazed into the darkness.

"To this day, it is unbelievable that some people
in Hong Kong are actually demanding to revere the decayed wood and rusted iron
buried under the foundation of the Chureito (Loyal Souls Tower) for over 80
years, all to promote patriotic education. Hasn't the evidence of Japan's
invasion of China already been wiped out? Applying the exact same logic¡Xtake the
comfort women asylum site at Lijiang Lane in Nanjing, which has survived human
sabotage and destruction. If that entire architectural complex were leveled and
demolished, property developers would be absolutely thrilled! Then, they could
just put a few bricks into a museum to 'promote patriotic education.' Go ask
thepeople of Nanjing if they would ever agree to that!"
