Taiwan Presidential Nanjing Sword Attack (19.8.2017)

Translator’s Note: I first read a very brief account of this story in the British Morning Star Newspaper (August 19/20, 2017 – Page 7), and decided to seek-out a Chinese language source article. The extant English language versions are incorrect because they are incomplete. This phenomenon is part and parcel of the Eurocentric habit of continuously misrepresenting China, and presenting the news in a manner that is both ‘mystical’ and ‘maniacal’. The reality is quite different, and despite obvious ethnic differences – modern China (and Taiwan for that matter) is no different to the West. The story presented below is complex and needs to be carefully laid-out bit by bit. Following the defeat of Nationalist regime of Chiang Kai-Shek in the War of Liberation (1946-1949), Nationalist forces (backed by the US) invaded and annexed the island of Taiwan – massacring many of its indigenous population that was loyal to the Communist Movement on the Mainland of China. The ‘Republic of China’ was a brutal dictatorship up until the 1980’s – pursing the so-called ‘White Terror’ – which saw thousands of Chinese men and women rounded-up and executed without trial because they were ‘suspected’ of supporting the Communist Party of China. The US government turned a blind-eye to these atrocities on Taiwan until President Jimmy Carter formally acknowledged the People’s Republic of China as actually representing the Chinese people at the international level, and relegated Taiwan to the status of an apparent ‘independent’ part of China. The Communist Party of China disagrees with this viewpoint. Taiwan is not – and never has been – an ‘independent’ part of China, but is designated an ‘unruly province’ that is currently permitted to operate under a different system to the rest of China. The CPC has made it clear that should Taiwan formally declare ‘Independence’, the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) will quickly ‘liberate’ the island, whilst the People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) will eradicate any ‘foreign’ threats in the surrounding water. Finally, Taiwan was a colony of Imperial Japan for 50 years prior to 1945 – and the implication in the following story is that the current ‘Nationalist’ government merely represents a continuation of this ’fascistic’ presence.

The Liberty Times has reported that a 51 year-old unemployed man named ‘Lu Junyi’ (吕军亿), used a hammer to break into the Taipei Military History Museum during the morning of the 18th of August, 2017, where he stole an antique (WWII) samurai sword. Then around 10:15hrs, he then scaled the wall of the Presidential Palace (situated between Taipei’s Chongqing South Road and Bo'ai Road), where usually the President of Taiwan – currently Madam President Cai Yingwen (蔡英文) – often resides. It is unknown whether President Cai Yingwen was in residence at the time, and it is unclear whether she was the intended target of the attack. However, Lu Junyi was challenged by an armed Presidential Palace Guard and was eventually over-powered by the other Guards present – but only after inflicting non-life threatening cuts with the sword to the Guard’s head and neck.
The Japanese samurai sword in question carries the inscription ‘南京之役杀一〇七人’ – which translates into English as ‘Nanjing Campaign – Killed One Hundred and Seven People’. This is a Japanese relic of the infamous Nanjing Massacre – where hundreds of thousands of Chinese men, women and children were murdered during ‘head-chopping’ competitions carried-out by the occupying Japanese Imperial Army. Japanese Officers took it in turns to see how many people they could behead in a set time-span – whilst the Japanese media was present to photograph and record these events. This sword was captured in the winter of 1945 by the Baggage Battalion of the Kuomintang 16th Army (of the 22nd Division), commanded by Yu Hongcheng (余鸿成), who had been ordered to Ding County in Hebei province to take the surrender of a Cavalry Brigade of the Japanese Imperial Army. A Japanese liaison officer handed over 10 samurai swords – one of which had been used during the Nanjing Massacre – exactly the same sword used in the recent attack in Taiwan.
When arrested, Lu Junyi was found to possess a red, five star flag in his bag – the ‘Communist’ flag of Mainland China. He said that he was acting under his own volition, and that he had explained his political position and intentions in the suicide note he had made, as it was his wish to have been killed in the attack.

He said that he was acting under his own volition, and that he had explained his political position and intentions in the suicide note he had made, as it was his wish to have been killed in the attack.
The note states that Lu Junyi’s heart is excited to think that one day the island of Taiwan will be re-united with the ‘motherland’ (i.e. ‘Mainland Communist China’), and that it is implied that when the ‘foreign’ capitalist system is finally uprooted out of Taiwan, a unified Chinese nation will develop an ever greater prosperity. Lu Junyi further stated that he was attacking the Taiwanese Government with sword and bayonet to draw blood for the revenge of the April 1st, 2001 death of the 32 year old People’s Liberation Army Naval Airforce (PLAN) Flight Squadron Leader - and fighter-pilot - Wang Wei (王伟) – who was killed through US Navy Airforce military action, whilst flying a J-8 Fighter (Number 81194). Wang Wei’s plane was ‘struck’ by a US Navy reconnaissance plane – and fell into the sea – killing Wang Wei. This happened over Hainan island – part of China’s airspace – but the US government refused to apologise – and actually rewarded the US pilots concerned. Lu Junyi was careful to sign and date the suicide note clearly and correctly – and even went as far as using an ‘official’ seal.

刺伤台总统府宪兵嫌犯遗书曝光 称“早日完成中国统一” 包内装有五星红旗
2017年8月19日LiuFeng来源:联合早报,观察者网878 54 繁体
台湾总统蔡英文办公室位于博爱路和长沙街口西大门今天上午遭一名男子持利器闯入,砍伤戍卫人员。男子随即被捕。在其遗书中,嫌犯表示自己是效法中国与美国军机对撞身亡的烈士王伟,并祝“中华民族繁荣昌盛”、“早日完成中国统一”。
台湾总统蔡英文办公室位于博爱路和长沙街口西大门今天上午遭一名男子持利器闯入,砍伤戍卫人员。男子随即被捕。在其遗书中,嫌犯表示自己是效法中国与美国军机对撞身亡的烈士王伟,并祝“中华民族繁荣昌盛”、“早日完成中国统一”。
---------------
据自由时报报道,嫌犯是51岁的无业人士吕军亿,他今日上午先持铁锤到台北军史馆窃取一把武士刀,再转往总统府西大门,翻墙后攻击执勤的周姓宪兵,维安人员获报后赶紧压抑吕男,且除了武士刀外,还从他包中发现五星红旗。
据了解,该把武士刀为军史馆藏,为日本侵华期间,日军用来斩杀的武器之一。刀柄部分刻有“南京役一〇七人”。
这把军刀的来源,据说是1945年冬天收缴投降日军武器时,当时任国民党第16军22师辎重兵营营长的余鸿成,奉命去河北定县接收日军第一旅团的全部军马。日军联络官向余鸿成上交了10把军刀,其中有一把在刀刃近护手处的铜制夹刃上刻有“南京之役杀一〇七人”的军刀,日军曾用此刀斩杀百余中国人。
另据中时电子报报道,偷军刀砍宪兵的吕军亿,在下手前已写好一封遗书,内容表示自己是效法中国与美国军机对撞身亡的烈士王伟,说自己“敢于亮剑,刺刀见红”,强调自己“死得起,千言万语诉说不完。”
吕军亿遗书表示,看到“祖国的建设大潮日日向好,内心十分激动……祝中华民族繁荣昌盛”,为慎重除了签名外,还盖了自己的印章。
王伟是中国人民解放军海军航空兵飞行中队队长,2001年4月1日驾驶编号81194的歼-8战斗机,进行对美国海军侦察机监视任务,意外与美国侦测机相撞,战机坠海殉职,得年32岁,中共后来追誉他为烈士,吕军亿把这次入侵总统府的行为,自比如同王伟。
今日(18日)上午,一名男子持日本武士刀砍伤台“总统府”宪兵。警方发现,这把“凶刀”竟然是吕姓男子窃自“国军”历史文物馆的一把“南京大屠杀军刀”,刀柄刻有“南京之役杀一〇七人”。而对于军史馆藏刀轻易遭窃,台湾网友大唿不可思议,认为管理过于松散,“实在太扯了”!
警方:砍伤宪兵用刀为“南京大屠杀军刀”
据台湾《联合报》报道称,今天上午约10点15分,一名吕姓男子闯入台“总统府”南苑车道口(近博爱路),执勤宪兵卫哨依标准程序警示制止,吕姓男子不从,随后迅速被一线协勤卫哨官兵制伏,阻止其进入府内,过程中周姓宪兵遭该男子以随身刀械所伤,送台大医院急诊,伤势稳定。
据警方介绍,吕姓男子先到军史馆,敲破玻璃柜偷了一把武士刀后,随后到“总统府”行凶,犯案动机供称“要彰显政治立场”。
该男子所偷武士刀为军史馆的“南京大屠杀军刀”,刻有“南京之役杀107人”九个字,展览资料还说明“此陈展日本军刀,即为日军屠杀我同胞之铁证”,抗战胜利后由魏炳文将军所得。
据军史馆网站介绍,该把武士刀为“日本造九八式军刀”,刻有“南京役杀107人”字样。
台湾《自由时报》报道称,这把武士刀是沾染有血腥的凶刀,南京大屠杀曾斩杀高达107人,因此这把武士刀也可称为“日本军人屠刀”。
报道称,该军刀据说是1945年冬天收缴投降日军武器时,时任国民党第16军22师辎重兵营营长的余鸿成,奉命去河北定县接收日军第一旅团的全部军马。日军联络官向余鸿成上交了10把军刀,其中有一把在刀刃近护手处的铜制夹刃上刻有“南京之役杀一〇七人”的军刀。
