「人不犯我，我不犯人」是不少中國人的人生觀，也是我國大致上的外交方向，但當別人來犯，又應是另一回事。 濟南這博物館細得可憐，但當中有一個漫畫展覽實在發人深省，孫之俊可算是中國第一代漫畫家，畫功不算瑰麗，但其作品如利刃直刺心窩，他的漫畫日記刊登在天津《益世報》，從一九三○到一九三九年，國家面對日本惡性侵略，當年軟弱政府卻仍忍氣吞聲任人魚肉。 標題「今年不抵抗，明年徒傷悲」（見圖），漫畫中，中國男人見到當年理事會公布把「中日事件暫時緩辦，十年後再……」而這中日事件正指一九三一年九一八事變，日本軍隊炸毁南滿鐵路，以此為藉口大舉入侵東北三省，成立建立的傀儡政權滿洲國。 當年司令官張學良的「不抵抗」、「不正面衝突」態度，讓千萬中國人隨後多年受苦，奇怪是當年東北大軍約二十萬之眾，絕對有能力跟日本人一決高下。惟日軍在無抵抗下，三天便打進吉林省，其惡暴在歷史見證下有目共睹，例如「731」部隊無恥地以人體作細菌武器試驗，殺害國人數以千計，不抵抗等於鼓勵惡行。漫畫家未能拿槍起義，只能以筆作武器，記錄中華民族所受屈辱，同時亦希望喚起國人的覺醒，共同抵抗外敵。 今日的中國是強國，但正因她的強大，外敵更想來侵犯，從經濟到地域主權也有被犯的可能，九十年前的中國漫畫至今仍奏效：「今年不反抗，明年徒傷悲。」 ▲ （圖片由專欄作家提供） 撰文 : 莫樹錦 欄名 : 醫筆稱心 Source link
