Xu Caimei, who lives in Baoshan District, burst into tears when asked to talk about her experiences during the war. Sixteen members of Xus family were killed by Japanese invaders.The Songhu Resistant War started on August 13, 1937, when the Japanese invaders attempted to enlarge the area under their control in China. The memory of the war wont fade easily from Chinese peoples minds. On the contrary, it will become more bright as it passes from generation to generation, said Wu Jinan, a professor with Shanghai Institute for International Studies.”Should we keep war memories forever memories?(A passage for debate)Thirty years after North Vietnam defeated the U.S. and ended the Vietnam War, the Vietnamese view of the United States - even among those who fought the Americans - is generally favorable. On Liberation Day, the attitudes of people towards the one-time enemy have changed. Almost everyone says they can forgive the war, if not forget. 10 years ago, when then-President Bill Clinton visited Vietnam, he was greeted like a rock star. Vietnamese government spokesman Le Dung says the war itself is no longer an obstacle to relations. I think that the war has been over for 30 years and it is high time to open a new page in the relations of Vietnam and the U.S. he said.Most ordinary Vietnamese have already turned the page on history. More than 60 percent of Vietnams population was born after the war ended, and the younger generations hold no bitterness toward America. Thousands of Vietnamese students now study in American universities and young people are more eager to buy newly available iPod music players than to recall the past. Nguyen Thu Ha, a 22-year-old student of international relations, says the war is ancient history to her.Of course, we have to remember that America attacked Vietnam, but we dont judge the American people. It is history. We should not forget the past, but what matters is moving to the future. But as Vietnam observes the 30th anniversary this week, memories of battles are fading, and former enemies are forgiving each other - a hopeful legacy（后遗症） for a conflict that ruined a generation in both countries.
