Nanking Massacre 

Share definition Flag
The Nanking Massacre, also known as the Rape of Nanking, occurred during the Sino-Japanese War in which the Japanese occupied the then capital of Communist China (alternative spelling: Nanjing). It is also the main reason why so many old Chinese people discriminate against the Japanese.

During the Nanking Massacre, an estimated 200,000 to 300,000 people were killed by Japanese soldiers. Many of these people were women who were all raped before being mutilated and killed. The Japanese did not discriminate. They raped women of all ages, shapes, sizes, even pregnant women. Most of them were stabbed with bayonets and had their fetuses ripped out before they were raped. The Japanese rounded up civilians, prisoners, and soldiers for mass execution. Many of their corpses were thrown into the Yangtze River. Two soldiers had killing contests to see how many "chinks" they could kill.

However a handful of westerners created a safety zone, or a neutral zone, about the size of New York's Central Park located in the center of the city. This safety zone came to house approximately 200,000 people.

To this day, many Japanese people still refuse to acknowledge the fact that this atrocity occurred. The Nanking Massacre has been written out of Japanese textbooks and out of Japanese curriculum.

In conclusion, if someone gives you shit about the Japanese, don't blame them especially if they're old Chinese people because what the Japanese did to us Chinese people was un-fucking-forgivable.
Person 1: Did you read The Rape of Nanking by Iris Chang?
Person 2: Yeah, what the Japanese did could be seen as reasonable but only if you were a Japanese living at that time.
P1: I can't believe they still haven't owned up to their shit. The Nanking Massacre was so messed up.
P2: I love how The Rape of Nanking tells the story in the perspective of the Japanese, Chinese, and the Westerners.
P1: It truly is a work of art.
P2: *tear runs down face*

Rape of Nanking

Share definition Flag
the Rape of Nanking, was a genocidal war crime committed by the Japanese military in Nanjing (Nanking), then the capital of the Republic of China, after it fell to the Imperial Japanese Army on December 13, 1937. About 200,000 to 300,000 Chinese civilians were massacred in this period. Japanese officials lied about civilian death figures at the time, and some Japanese ultranationalists are still active in attempting to deny that the killings ever occurred which is obviously a load of bull shit.

During the occupation of Nanking, the Japanese army committed numerous atrocities, such as rape, looting, arson and the execution of prisoners of war and civilians. The executions began under the pretext of eliminating Chinese soldiers disguised as civilians, and a large number of innocent men were intentionally misidentified as enemy combatants and executed as the massacre gathered momentum. A large number of women and children were also killed, as rape and murder became more widespread.

80,000 women, including the elderly and infants were raped, gang raped and murdered. Women had their breasts cut off, sticks and other objects shoved into the vajina.

Rounded up civilians and soldiers shoot at in large groups.

So don't let anyone tell you that Japan didn't have that A-bomb coming to them.

Nanjing

Share definition Flag
Nanjing (Chinese: ÄϾ©; Romanizations: N¨¢nj¨©ng (Pinyin), Nan-ching (Wade-Giles), Nanking (Postal map spelling)) is the capital of China's Jiangsu Province, and a city with a prominent place in Chinese history and culture. Nanjing served as the capital of China during several historical periods, including as the former capital city of Republic of China, and is listed as one of the Four Great Ancient Capitals of China. Nanjing is also one of the fifteen sub-provincial cities in the People's Republic of China's administrative structure, enjoying jurisdictional and economic autonomy only slightly less than that of a province. In addition, the Republic of China claims it as its de jure capital.

Located in the downstream Yangtze River drainage basin and Yangtze River Delta economic zone, Nanjing has always been one of China's most important cities. Apart from having been the capital of China for six dynasties and of the Republic of China, Nanjing has also served as a national hub of education, research, transportation and tourism throughout history. With an urban population of over five million, it is also the second largest commercial center in the East China region, behind only Shanghai.

The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure.

The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study.

Utility beer 

Share definition Flag
Utility beer is the beer you keep around for the day-to-day moments when beer is a necessity to assist in pedestrian activities (golf, plumbing, yardwork, babysitting, staff meetings, Zoom calls). For the beer snob it is the beer you save for neighbors when they drop in at 3 p.m. on a Tuesday. It is differentiated from the actual high-end beer you save for special events, holidays, and special tastings.
Person 1: Dave, did you bring along those hazy craft IPA's so we could drink while cleaning Lyle's pool?
Person 2: Nope. I just have a bunch of utility beer that Steve dumped on me. Good enough for this. It is only 10:30 a.m.
