History vs fantasy

Entertainment has its place, but outlandish TV shows with Japanese war themes do not serve the solemn memory of history, Han Bingbin reports.
A female warrior is pressed against the ground by a group of Japanese soldiers who viciously rape her. With unexpected strength, she grabs a bow and arrows near her while suddenly rolling herself over and jumping to the air. What followed is a scene that goes far beyond realism: Without missing a shot, she kills all the Japanese soldiers in the blink of an eye.
In another scenario, a Chinese knight-errant, who's obviously a kung fu practitioner, punches his fist through the body of a Japanese soldier and tears him in half. This action is mockingly remembered by Chinese netizens as "shredding a squid".
