It's a hot topic. Looking at the answers that have been given, most of them are words such as unforgiveness and hatred.
I was silent, I didn't know what to say, because my opinion was different from theirs, could I say it? I was hesitant, but I still wanted to express my opinion, right or wrong.
I want to say, why not, many ordinary people have never even seen a real Japanese, why do they hate Japanese people thousands of miles away, why do they say they don't forgive?
Maybe my level is low, and I'm already working hard to live, and I don't dare to think too much. My mother is hospitalized, my child is in college, and my health is not very good, although I have medical insurance, I have to pay it first, and the pressure of life is very great, and I have to work and struggle non-stop. As for the Japanese, they are too far away, too far away in time and space.
Some people will say that the Japanese must not be forgiven, and that Japan once invaded China. However, the Japanese who invaded us in that generation have already had evil retribution, and they were either wiped out on the battlefield by our heroic ancestors, or they were tried by an international tribunal and severely punished according to law.
Is it in line with the basic values of the Chinese nation that the current Japanese are not the Japanese of the past, and let the modern people bear responsibility for the sins of their modern ancestors and even the ancients?
Would you think it would be funny if the Koreans hated the modern Chinese because of the Tang Dynasty's conquest of Goryeo, and the Vietnamese hated the modern Chinese because the Ming Dynasty set up the Jiaozhi Bu Zhengsi to rule?
Some people will say that the Japanese must not be forgiven, because there are too many Chinese.
If you can't forgive the Japanese, can you forgive the Manchurians? Yangzhou Jiading three massacres on the tenth day, how many Han people were killed at the end of the Ming Dynasty? And now, pigtail dramas are rampant, palace fighting dramas are on fire, and Zhen Huan's biography and Xiaoyanzi are popular on the screen.
If you can't forgive the Japanese, can you forgive the Mongols? Chongqing slaughtered the city, Sichuan**, how many Han people did the Mengyuan people kill? Today, the 56 nationalities are one family, and we are all members of the Chinese nation, and we all live in harmony and happiness on the land of China.
When is the time for retribution? We must not forget history, but we can give up hatred, because hatred can only blind our eyes, and it will make ordinary people suffer, because turmoil and chaos will first make the people at the bottom feel greater suffering.
The wheel of history is mighty, and there are great people in both China and Japan who advocate Sino-Japanese friendship. After the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Japan, we even gave up Japan's war reparations with a broad mind in order to better face the new future world and build better international relations.
It cannot be ruled out that there are some people in Japan, and even a large number of people are hostile to China and unwilling to admit the ugly crimes of its war. However, this part of the population should not be motivated by hatred and rejection of the Japanese people as a whole. Even the vast majority of Japanese people do not have such a strong hatred for China, and there is nothing but practical interests and needs.
Japan also needs China, needs Chinese labor, and needs a Chinese market. China needs Japan's capital and advanced technology, and the economies of the two countries can complement each other. It is useless to say some extreme words, the key is that we ourselves and our country are healthy, stable, and constantly developing and progressing.
Some words on the Internet are a kind of emotional catharsis. You can't say right or wrong, but you have to talk about reality and fiction. We advocate pragmatism rather than retreat, saying something excessive, unrealistic to vent emotions, it's easy, as soon as the keyboard hits, some drawings come out. But how to face the bleak life, face the miserable world, and make the right choice, it is difficult. Mr. Lu Xun once said that this is the real warrior.
Not only can we forgive, but there is no need to pass on our hatred of the Japanese to our younger generations.
The hatred of the Chinese people towards the Japanese stems from the historical period of the war of aggression against China, which has caused serious and indelible disasters to our people and country, and even the suffering of the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species. Of course, we must not forget this historical disaster and hatred, but this hatred was only against a part of the Japanese at that time or the majority of Japanese at that time.
And hatred will hurt itself eventually. Just as the Jews inflicted Nazis on the Palestinians for their own suffering, which has provoked a worldwide boycott and opposition, the victims of Chongqing are now the perpetrators.
This is the result of hatred. Hatred leads to a loss of reason and even disastrous consequences for entire nations and nations.
China's excellent cultural tradition has always emphasized forgiveness, that is, forgiveness and forgiveness. This is not a sign of cowardice and incompetence, nor is it the so-called poor generosity of the indignant youth.
Many people are unhappy that China has given up its demand for war reparations to Japan, but few people know that the Japanese were also very friendly to us. China and Japan established diplomatic relations in the 70s, and they really helped China's technological progress in the 80s. Technical support is also available, as well as low-interest loans. To ensure that China's economy makes great progress.
Aggression is aggression, but it cannot be denied that the progress of our craftsmanship has also been helped by Japan. By refusing to allow others to help us progress, are we closing ourselves off from the country?
Japan's selfish intentions, for the sake of money, or for the sake of real war crimes, apologize and compensate, at least objectively promote the technological progress of our country and promote the economic prosperity of our country.
Now many people on the Internet have made some excessive remarks, if Japan really withdraws from China and the Chinese market, it is not necessarily a good thing for the country, especially now that we are in the critical stage of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
In fact, there is no such thing as "revenge" between countries. If there is, then the real "revenge" is to live better than the other party and surpass the other party in all aspects. The sons and daughters of the Chinese nation have ideals, struggles, and beliefs, and let the Chinese nation rise among the nations of the world, which is the self-confidence and strength of the nation.
All foreign cultures, excellent and strong, we absorb for our own use. Including Japan's advanced technology and advanced manufacturing.
If we use the nation as an excuse at every turn, and if all sides are divided and closed, how can we achieve national rejuvenation?
If we close ourselves off from the country, close ourselves to ignorance, and become arrogant, we will never be able to develop.
Putting forward the viewpoint of being tolerant, peaceful, and harmonious does not mean that they are pro-Japanese and pro-Japanese elements. Attachment to the past and clinging to the past may not necessarily bring benefits to the people, but it may cause them to suffer.
No one wants to whitewash the crimes committed by the Japanese, and all Chinese deeply hate the refusal of today's Japanese right-wingers to admit war crimes and war crimes. We agree with both hands and resolutely implement the measures taken by the state in accordance with the law.
All rational people should be well aware of such a law of history. Once any nation or country declines, if it wants to rise again, it is not an inevitable way. Ladies and gentlemen, many ancient civilizations and ancient countries have fallen one by one, and they have never awakened and risen again. Ancient Babylon, ancient India, and the Ottoman Empire have all been wiped out in the long river of history. A nation and a country are the only way to gradually perish after decay.
The establishment of the People's Republic of China has made the Chinese stand up, China's reform and opening up has made the Chinese rich, and the Chinese have struggled again, risen again, and marched towards the road of rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Hatred does not give us anything, and forgetting hatred is not the same as forgetting history. Forgetting history is betrayal, forgetting hatred and living in peace with former enemies is the generosity and tolerance of the great Chinese nation, and it is also the only way for the nation to rise.
