We don't want to promote hatred

My school, The Panjiayu Hope Elementary School, stands on the spot where most of the carnage happened during the massacre. There are more than 60 students in seven classes. There are seven teachers, and each of them, including me, teaches at least three or four subjects.
The original name of the school was Panjiayu Revenge Elementary School. Years ago the students, including me, were the children of villagers killed in the massacre. The original name of the school indicated just how much we hated the Japanese invaders.
Nowadays, the children aren't taught about that part of our history because their parents and grandparents have already told them about it in detail.
