9. What day is18?

The September 18th Incident, also known as the Fengtian Incident and the Wicker Lake Incident. This was a war of aggression against China deliberately created and launched by Japan in the northeast of China on the evening of 1 931September1September, which was the beginning of Japanese imperialist aggression against China.

1931September 18 night, under the arrangement of the Japanese Kwantung Army, the railway "garrison" blew up the Nanman railway track near Shenyang Liutiao Lake (built by China and later occupied by Japan) and planted it on the Japanese army.

The Japanese army used this as an excuse to shell Shenyang Beidaying on the grounds of "September 18th Incident". The next day, the Japanese army invaded Shenyang and successively invaded the three northeastern provinces. February 1932, the whole northeast fell. Since then, the Japanese established the puppet Manchukuo regime in the northeast of China, and began to enslave and colonize the northeast people for 14 years.

September 18 is regarded as "the day of national humiliation" by many people in China, and the voice of China people demanding that September 18 be designated as the day of national humiliation also appears from time to time. Since 1995, Shenyang has sounded the air defense alarm for 3 minutes every night of September 18 to warn people not to forget the national humiliation.

At present, more than 100 cities including Harbin, Changchun, Kunming, Hefei, Hangzhou, Urumqi, Nanchang, Qiqihar, Jinhua, Benxi, Taiyuan and xi' an choose to broadcast air defense warnings on 18 every September.
