Students hold a banner that reads "Remembering History and Treasuring Peace" in front of the Museum of the Anti-Japanese War in Shenyang, Northeast China's Liaoning Province, September 18, 2003. Today is the 72nd anniversary of the "September 18th Incident," when Japanese troops launched a sudden attack on the Chinese army in Shenyang.

On the evening 10:20 of September 18, 1931, the Japanese Kanto Army blew up the Liutiaohu Railway of the South Manchuria Railway in Shenyang, northen China, yet they fabricated that Chinese army did it. Under this excuse, they cannoned Beidaying Battalion of the Northeast Army of Kuomintang, and attacked Shenyang, launched the "Huanggutun Incident" which shocked China and the whole world. This is the historical "9.18 Incident", which resulted in Japan's massive invasion in Northeastern China and later the whole country in 1937.

Billy, #4 won so tell #12 I'd love to console her.

As for 9-18, the Japanese have a habit of sneak attacks. They did it to the Russians and to the US also.

Billy, you post such interesting pictures and I love reading your commentary. I know you have said before that you have difficulty with the English language and I think you do very well with it, but I often find myself giggling at your words. Most of the time I can understand what you're trying to say. I am NOT making fun of you at all, but just letting you know I really enjoy reading and seeing your posts. In this thread I had to laugh at the "underware show". These may not be your words, but they struck me as funny. I also got a laugh from the "Frontier guards...demonstrating their comprehensive skills of shooting, hunting and arresting criminals". Once again I don't know if these are your words, but I wish we could "hunt" and "shoot" criminals here in the USA. It might reduce the paperwork associated with just "arresting" them like we're supposed to do .

Well, with the "undies shows", beauty pagents, and Pandas, it sure does look like East has finally met West.

Sometimes not mine

Sometimes I post it my own words, others I copy from the China English newspaper. I don't have time enough to write becasue I surf Internet in cyber cafe. I can not waste too much time in it.

Japanese firemen extinguish a blaze at an oil facility after a series of powerful earthquakes in Tomakomai, the city of northern Japanese island of Hokkaido, September 26, 2003. Japan's Meteorogical Agency measured the initial quake at 8.0 on the Richter scale -- powerful enough to cause significant damage -- and it warned residents of aftershocks.
