Hello viewers, welcome to “Century Truths”.
The Lugou Bridge, located in the southwest corner of Beijing, spans the Yongding River with a total length of over 260 meters. This ancient stone arch bridge is not only an architectural heritage, but also a witness to a turning point in China’s destiny.
As we all know, the Lugou Bridge Incident on July 7, 1937, marked the beginning of the full-scale outbreak of the eight-year anti-Japanese war in China. The Communist Party has always said that it was the Japanese army who fired the first shot.
However, strangely enough, during the post-war Tokyo trials, not a single Japanese military leader admitted that the Japanese army had opened fire first.
Moreover, the truth that has surfaced in recent years reveals that the truth behind this incident is far from what people have thought. The mastermind behind the incident and the profiteer turning the situation to their advantage was actually the Communist Party. Furthermore, it was later revealed that a senior Nationalist Army officer involved in the event turned out to be an underground member of the Communist Party.
Today, let us uncover the truth behind the Lugou Bridge Incident.
