The old school buildings in Dalian No.1 Middle School, No.8 Middle School and No.24 Middle School were also made in Japan. It is said that the former site of the third school is the word "Great Japan" from the air. But now all three schools have been rebuilt, and there is no trace of history at all.
There is also Dalian Ni Qing Primary School, which used to be a Japanese children's school. When I was in a school, I often had Japanese alumni to visit. If there is any influence, it is that the school has educated a group of Japanese.
In fact, objectively speaking, Japan's colonial rule brought Dalian a humiliating and bloody history, but it still had a great positive impact on urban construction. Of course, these positive effects are only for the interests of imperialism itself.
Today, Dalian maintains friendly relations with many cities in Japan. There are many Japanese-funded enterprises in Dalian, and there are also many TV programs specially connected with Japan. The brand of history is not so easy to get rid of, let alone a benign development, there is nothing wrong.
We should remember history, remember the shameless crimes of Japanese imperialism, and learn how to move forward under the historical sky, take history as a mirror and meet a better future.
I love Dalian!
