June 20, 2026; For a long time in China, a period of history was like a "glass ceiling" that could not be touched. This happened after Japan surrendered to the U.S. The U.S. gov then was responsible partially to this crime. The U.S. gov then should not let the Soviet Union control China then. From 1945 to 1946, 1.5 million Soviet Red Army soldiers entered Northeast China, and the Japanese Kwantung Army quickly collapsed. However, for many ordinary people, especially women, the end of the war did not equate to the arrival of safety: sexual violence and looting repeatedly occurred in streets, stations, factory dormitories, and rural courtyards, often shrouded in silence. This episode will use the archives of the National History Museum of Taiwan, "Atrocities Committed by the Soviet Army in Northeast China," as a guide, combining local chronicles, police reports, writers' diaries and memoirs, Red Cross and police statistics, and American observation materials to bring the obscured testimonies back into the public eye as much as possible: what happened, why it happened, and why it has been so difficult to tell the story for so long. Telling the story is not about creating hatred, but about ensuring that the victims receive the dignity they deserve, and that so-called "friendship" no longer comes at the cost of oblivion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjFG82VrQtc
