Impalement has been used since Ancient Mesopotamia to kill people slowly

Impalement dates back to at least the Code of Hammurabi, a Mesopotamian law code from c.1772 BC. Broadly speaking, there are two forms of Impalement, the execution of someone by inserting a sharpened implement into their body. Longitudinal Impalement inserted a pointed stake into the victim’s anus so that it followed the vertical direction of the body, ideally so that the tip of the stake came out of the mouth, as in the illustration above, or chest cavity. Transversal Impalement saw the stake shoved through any part of the body to the other side, for example through the heart or stomach.

Depending on the type of Impalement and hence which internal organs were damaged, victims could survive anywhere from a few seconds to several days. History has many examples of leaders noted for their penchant for impaling enemies. Emperor Nero, for example, would make victims dig their own graves and plant a stake at the bottom before executing them. But history’s most famous impaler was, of course, Vlad Țepeș, ‘the Impaler’, who created a ‘forest’ of 20,000 impaled Turks to scare off his enemies, and once ate dinner whilst dozens of Transylvanian Saxons were impaled in front of him.

The Good Man of Nanking

The Good Man of Nanking Taiwan, as known as Republic of China (ROC), the country where I was born and raised, is currently in a difficult situation both internally and internationally due to the complex relations between Taiwan, People’s Republic of China (PRC) and Japan. To understand the formation of the current situation and look for possible solution to the future, it is crucial to know the history between the three countries, especially the past hundred years. Besides, out of my curiosity for my well-respected grandfather, who was previously a general in Republic of China while it still represented the entire China, I want to learn the truth of the second Sino-Japanese war during WWII, which lasted eight years and caused millions of deaths. During the war, the most disputed tragedy was the “Nanking Massacre” and it is still a unresolved dilemma between Chinese and Japanese people as well as the government. From Wikipedia: “Nanking Massacre was an episode of mass murder and...
