• The chaos of battle in Nanking in 1937 is so unpleasant for every Chinese to remember
• From the historical fact has shown from all the documentaries I have watched so far, the movie The flowers of war is one of those movies that I find it so hard to finish
• There was no certain survival rule during the time of this military terror, the desperate civilians including the infants and the elderly were also be treated brutally; there was no way to escape when the invading Japanese Imperial army surrounded the whole city; there was nothing else can be more important than living when the violence happened everywhere 
• The whole city was 'raped', the women were chased, raped and killed, the estimation was recorded up to 20000 women got raped during this Nanking Massacre
• A country's victory is equivalent to millions of lives suffering
• Heroism eventually leads the disparate group to fight back, in this case, it's the prostitutes who step forward. They are not that bad sometimes
• Just like what John Kennedy said 'Mankind must put an end to war before war puts an end to mankind', there is no good war or bad peace, when the most vulnerable group of people become the target in the war, we should have realized that this has led to the loss of humanity, really really tragic
• So people, feel luck we were born in this 21st century, feel grateful that we have avoided that revolutionary change in that distant past...
