1. Introduction
On January 3, 2017, the Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China issued the
No. 1 letter of 2017 <the Letter on the Full Implementation of the Concept of" Fourteen
Years of Anti-Japanese War”in the Local Curriculum Materials of Primary and Secondary
Schools>. The documents required all levels of education authorities to fully screen and
change the wording of “Eight Years of Anti-Japanese War”to “Fourteen Years of Anti-
Japanese War”, modify the relatedcontent and make sure to set up and highlight the concept
of “Fourteen Years of Anti-JapaneseWar”[1].
The Japanese invaders created the “September 18th Incident”in 1931, occupied the
northeast China, set up the Manchukuo Puppet government and caused disturbances in
other areas of China, trying to start a war. The national government of China adopted a
policy of compromise to avoid escalation of conflict. On July 7, 1937, the Japanese Army
provoked the”LugouqiaoIncident”near Peiping, and the Anti-Japanese War broke out.
For a long time, the war has been officially recognized by China as the “Eight Years of
Anti-Japanese War”.However, foreign and domestic scholars have never ceased the studyof
the “Fourteen Years of Anti-Japanese War”. The term “Eight Years of Anti-Japanese War”
refers to the period from the full outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War in 1937 under the
“Lugouqiao Incident”to the unconditional surrender of the emperor of Japan on August 15,
1945. It would have been 14 years from the “September 18th Incident”in 1931 to Japan’s
unconditional surrender. Sheng Hongjing, professor of Nanjing Normal University,
