Why is there no such minority as the Japanese in China?First of all, let's understand the definition and identification principles of nationality. Ethnicity refers to a group of people who share common linguistic, cultural and regional characteristics, and share a common psychological identity and political will. The principles of our country's identification of nationality are the principles of history, reality, voluntariness, and national unity. This means that a nation must have a long history, a stable settlement area and population size, its own national identity and cultural heritage, national consciousness and voluntary belonging, harmonious coexistence and solidarity with other peoples. Do Japanese people meet these conditions?The answer is no. Although the Japanese have their own language, script, customs, Xi, history, culture, etc., they have not formed a stable settlement area and population size within our country, nor have they established good relations and unity with other ethnic groups in our country.
What's more, Japan has invaded China many times, causing profound disasters and harm to the Chinese people, and China and Japan are full of hostility. According to China's third national census, there are 56 ethnic groups in China, of which the Han nationality accounts for the vast majority, and the other 55 ethnic groups are called ethnic minorities. These ethnic minorities are scattered throughout the country and have unique cultural traditions and Xi. For example, the Zhuang, Miao, Yi, Uygur, etc., all have beautiful songs and dances and colorful festivals. In addition, there are some smaller ethnic groups in China, such as the Buyi, Hezhe, Jing, etc., their population is small, but they also have rich cultural connotations and unique customs and Xi. In order to protect and develop the culture and economy of ethnic minorities, China has adopted a series of measures and policies.
The Law of the People's Republic of China on Regional Ethnic Autonomy and the Law of the People's Republic of China on Ethnic Unity and Progress have been formulated to protect the autonomy rights of ethnic minorities and policies and measures for unity and progress. At the same time, preferential policies and support measures have also been adopted to encourage economic development and cultural inheritance in ethnic minority areas. These policies and measures have effectively promoted the development and progress of ethnic minorities in our country. It can be said that China's 56 ethnic groups constitute a pluralistic, rich and inclusive society. Protecting and developing the culture of minority nationalities and promoting the unity and progress of all nationalities is an important part of China's ethnic policy. We should cherish such a social environment and promote the common development of all ethnic groups. As a pluralistic country, how to safeguard the interests of all ethnic groups and promote the common development of all ethnic groups is a problem that we need to think about and solve.
The historical exchanges between China and Japan can be traced back to ancient times, and the legendary Xu Fu crossing the sea reflects this interaction. According to legend, Xu Fu was a priest of Qin Shi Huang who crossed the East China Sea with boys and treasures to the Japanese archipelago, where he settled there, intermarried with the locals, and was revered as a "god". This legend may lack conclusive evidence, but it sheds light on the multi-ethnic origins of the Japanese and the profound influence of China on Japanese civilization. However, with the changes of history, Japan's national character has changed. From the beginning of modern times, Japan embarked on a militaristic path and carried out colonial invasions of China and other Asian countries. This act of aggression has made Japan's status and image in China fundamentally different from that of ethnic minorities, and the relations between the two countries have also been seriously affected. It is undeniable that the historical inheritance still has a certain impact on the current relations between the two countries.
The past ethnic exchanges and cultural transmission have made China and Japan have deep historical roots, whether it is language, writing, art or etiquette, there are similarities. This common historical background and cultural traditions provide the basis for exchanges between the two peoples. However, the pain of history cannot be ignored. The aggression of Japanese militarism against China has brought deep pain and trauma to Sino-Japanese relations, and these historical scars have not yet completely healed. In Japan's education system, the avoidance and denial of the history of aggression have also exacerbated the contradictions and estrangements between the two countries. In the face of such a historical background, how should China and Japan face and deal with it?First of all, we should face history squarely, face history, and not evade or deny the truth of history. Only by facing history squarely can we find a way out of the problem.
At the same time, history education should be strengthened so that the younger generation of the two countries can understand and understand history and avoid repeating the mistakes of the past. Second, it is necessary to strengthen people-to-people exchanges. Through exchanges in the fields of culture, education, and tourism, mutual understanding and friendship between the two peoples will be enhanced. Only through people-to-people exchanges can we break down barriers and build bridges of friendship. Finally, economic cooperation should be strengthened. Economic cooperation is an important support for China-Japan relations, and by strengthening economic cooperation, we can promote mutual benefit and win-win results between the two countries, enhance the well-being of the two peoples, and provide a solid foundation for the improvement of bilateral relations. In short, the historical heritage has had a profound impact on China-Japan relations, and although there are pains in the past, we must not just stay in the pain of the past. Only by facing history squarely and strengthening exchanges and cooperation can we achieve sustained development and peace and stability in Sino-Japanese relations. Let us work together to contribute to the development of friendly relations between China and Japan.
Finally, how do you think China and Japan should deal with the issues left over from history and enhance their bilateral relations?China's northeastern region was faced with an unprecedented crisis, that is, large-scale Japanese invasion and migration. They not only invaded China's territory and resources, but also established the puppet state of Manchukuo, and under the guise of a pioneer group, wantonly occupied land, encroached on national interests and dignity, and undermined China's national unity and culture. However, the Chinese people did not give in, they fought a heroic war of resistance and resistance, and finally, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, together with other countries, defeated the Japanese fascists and won the victory of the War of Resistance. However, what warning does this history give us?It is not difficult for us to see that the tragic lessons of history show that national unity is the fundamental guarantee for the survival and development of a nation.
At that time, the Chinese people were able to unite as one, carry out heroic resistance and resistance, and finally won the war of resistance, which is inseparable from the strength of national unity. Only national unity can defeat the aggressor and defend our national and national interests. Secondly, history also tells us that cultural self-confidence is an important guarantee for national rejuvenation. Under the occupation of the invaders, the Chinese people did not give up their culture and beliefs, but strengthened their self-confidence and promoted the continuous inheritance and development of Chinese culture. Only with cultural self-confidence can we establish a strong national image in the international community and become a world power. Finally, history also tells us that only by unswervingly devoting ourselves to modernization can we truly achieve national rejuvenation. After decades of hard work, the Chinese people have achieved a historic transformation from poverty and backwardness to prosperity and strength.
All these changes have been achieved under the correct leadership of the Communist Party of China. Only by adhering to the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics and promoting modernization can China become a truly modern country and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. In short, history is the best teacher, which tells us that national unity, cultural self-confidence, and modernization are the three pillars of the Chinese nation's rejuvenation, and only by unswervingly following the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics can the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation be realized. So, how do you think we should strengthen our cultural self-confidence and promote China's modernization?The Return of the Japanese in China: A Forgotten History After the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression ended, China** began to repatriate those Japanese who lived in China. 1.5 million Japanese left the land of China, and their way home became a forgotten history.
However, there was a part of the Japanese who did not leave China, but chose to stay on this land. After years of integration, they are no longer much different from ordinary Chinese. Looking back on that period of history, we can't help but wonder why these Japanese chose to stay in ChinaHow did they fit into Chinese culture?How have they contributed to the development of China's society?Let's explore this overlooked story. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, China was faced with a major problem: how to deal with the large number of Japanese in China. On the one hand, the Chinese people's hatred of Japanese aggression has not yet dissipated, and many people demand that all Japanese be expelledOn the other hand, China** wanted to develop Sino-Japanese relations through friendly cooperation, so it decided to repatriate those Japanese who had no criminal record. Surprisingly, however, there is a group of Japanese who do not choose to return home.
They found jobs in China, started families, and spent difficult years with the Chinese. They integrated into Chinese society, learned Chinese, and received Chinese culture. These Japanese living in China, they are no longer foreigners, but real Chinese. At the same time, these Japanese who remained in China also made important contributions to the development of Chinese society. They have demonstrated their talents and professional skills in various fields. Some have become doctors, teachers, engineers, some have achieved success in business, and some have become bridges for cultural exchange. They have made contributions to China's modernization that cannot be ignored. However, this forgotten history is rarely mentioned. We know very little about the Japanese who chose to stay in China, and their stories are little known.
Perhaps, it is precisely because they integrate too well in China and are not much different from the Chinese that we ignore their existence. Looking back, we should give these Japanese people more attention and respect. They are not invaders, but people who have found a home in China. They chose to work together with the Chinese people and contributed to China's development. We should record their stories so that more people can understand this forgotten history. At the same time, it raises the question of how to view international migration and integration in the era of globalizationHow should we balance *** with personal freedom?Please leave a comment to share your thoughts.
