The Chinese's dislike for Japan can be traced back to historical reasons and personal factors. Historically, there have been many conflicts and wars between China and Japan, and these events have left a shadow between the two peoples. This, coupled with Japan's aggression against China during World War II, made many Chinese have an attitude of hatred towards Japan. In addition, personal factors are also a reason why Chinese hate Japan, and some people may have heard negative comments about Japan from relatives, friends, or **, perhaps because they have had unpleasant personal experiences.
However, while some Chinese have a bad impression of Japan, many more are keen to travel to Japan and even want to go a second time. Why is that?My trip to Japan also provided some answers to this question.
In ancient Chinese history, the Tang Dynasty was the first period of Sino-Japanese exchanges. During the Tang Dynasty, China and Japan made great progress in terms of culture, technology, etc. Japan specially sent envoys to Chang'an, China Xi to study and absorb Chinese cultural achievements, and applied these cultural achievements to Japanese architecture, art, and religion. For example, ancient Japanese architecture strongly imitates the style of China's Tang Dynasty, and buildings such as Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Kinkaku-ji Temple, Todai-ji Temple, and Karashodai-ji Temple are good examples. It was as if the breath of China had been re-injected into Japan, and we felt a sense of intimacy in these temples.
As one of the most developed countries in Asia, there are always some things that we can learn from Xi. During my trip to Japan, I found some of the Japanese amenities and services that impressed me. For example, public toilets in Japan are very clean, equipped with advanced flushing features and biodegradable toilet paper, which made me feel that the Japanese people attach great importance to public health. In addition, Japan's transportation system is also very developed and convenient, buses will tilt their bodies when stopping to make it easier for passengers to get on and off, and drivers will personally assist and provide appropriate facilities to make it easier for wheelchair passengers to get on and off the bus. I was very impressed with the details and the attentive service.
The reason why many Chinese like to shop in Japan is not only because the ** is relatively low, but more importantly, the quality of Japanese goods is excellent. Especially in the vicinity of Kiyomizudera Temple in Kyoto and the Shinsaibashi area in Osaka, there are many Chinese tourists, mainly for shopping. Japanese products are known for their high quality, innovation, and practicality. After returning to China, many Chinese are still immersed in the good quality of Japanese products and shopping experience, and even hear the Japanese pronunciation of "Mi Masan" from time to time, and this serious and polite attitude also leaves a deep impression on them.
It has been 51 years since the normalization of diplomatic relations between China and Japan, and despite the twists and turns between the two countries, the two peoples have always maintained a friendly attitude. Peace and friendship have always been the common aspiration of the Chinese and Japanese peoples. Traveling to Japan is actually a way of people-to-people exchanges, and through first-hand experience, understanding the life, culture and values of the Japanese people will have a positive impact on the friendly relations between China and Japan. When the two peoples understand each other better, they will be able to reduce misunderstandings and prejudices and promote closer friendly cooperation.
Through my trip to Japan, I learned more about the phenomenon of Chinese people who hate Japan but are keen to travel to Japan. While some people have an attitude of hatred towards Japan due to historical and personal factors, many more people have experienced the culture, development, and humanity of Japan through travel. As one of the most developed countries in Asia, Japan has many aspects that we can learn from and Xi learn from. The friendly exchanges between China and Japan and the exchanges between the peoples are also an opportunity for us to re-examine China-Japan relations and promote friendly cooperation between the two countries. Through tourism, we can get to know each other better and promote the development of Sino-Japanese relations and friendship between the two peoples. Therefore, although there is a contradiction between hating and liking, we can actively learn from and develop it to further deepen the friendly relations between China and Japan.
