4 men criticized for 'insulting' war heroes

Four men were criticized online after posing for pictures dressed in Imperial Japanese Army uniforms in front of a stronghold used by Chinese soldiers to repel Japanese invaders during the Battle of Shanghai in 1937.

The photos, which show the men standing in front of the historic Sihang Warehouse, began circulating late on Monday. Many people commented online that it was disrespectful.

"My grandfather was one of the soldiers in that battle and he died," one internet user wrote on Sina Weibo. "Those who sacrificed their lives for the country and the people should never be forgotten or insulted, especially at the same place where they died."
