哈佛大学"战时中国"学术研讨会之我见

2002年6月底,在美国哈佛大学举行了一次题为“战时中国”的学术研讨会。会议的主题是战时中国的地方政权与状况。参加会议的学者来自中国、日本、北美和欧洲。值得注意的是,有的学者对日本侵华期间扶植的汪精卫伪南京国民政府和东北伪满洲国的“伪”、傀儡定性提出异议;有的日本学者公开为日本侵华罪行辩护。这种观点,显然是违背历史事实的,也违背了历史研究者所应有的公正的历史道德观和求实的精神。不同国家的学者的不同认识和争论,有助于深化和端正对一些问题的思考和理解。

Analysis of the Symposium on "Wartime China" in Harvard University

The symposium on "Wartime China" was held in Harvard University in the end of June in 2001.The subject discussed concerned the local governments and their conditions in China during the wartime.Remarkably,among all the scholars attending this symposium who came from China,Japan,North America,and Europe,some disagreed with the illegitimacy of the Nanjing government led by Wang Jingwei and the State of Manchu in northeast China,both of which were supported by the Japanese during their invasion in China,and with the nature of puppet of the two regimes.Some Japanese scholars even openly defended the Japanese invasion.This point of view is undoubtedly contrary to the historical facts,and also goes against the just historical materialism and realistic attitude that a historical expert should hold.Therefore,disagreements and debates among scholars from different countries contribute to a deepened and correct understanding of some historical issues.
