Today, the headlines of the global mainstream media (AP, BBC, FRI, AFP, Reuters…) are all about the killing of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, and even the Russian Satellite News Agency is saying “Truly Heartbreaking” in the headlines, but the headlines of Xinhua News Agency are still great leaders, Abe didn’t even get a headline in the international section of Xinhuanet, let alone the third-rate media People’s Daily. Unexpectedly, the mainland media has degenerated to this point, and has lost its basic human nature, even Russia is inferior.
There is no doubt that in that war 70 years ago, the crimes committed by Japanese militarism against China, the whole of East Asia, Southeast Asia and even the United States, India and other countries are irrefutable. My feelings for this neighbor with a strip of water are mixed. On the one hand, he is angry with his brutality in the war of aggression against China, and on the other hand, he expresses admiration for the rapid development of a highly civilized society after the war. It is obviously impossible to forget history, but history must pass.
If you really want to investigate history, then in China’s own thousands of years of history, every time the dynasty changed, I don’t know how many civilians lost their lives. From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, to the Three Kingdoms, the Jin and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Yuan eradication of the Song Dynasty, and the alternation of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the loss of the population of the Han nationality or other nationalities is innumerable. Even in the peaceful years, because of the ruler’s brutality and debauchery, and the people’s efforts, starvation is common, and it is not uncommon to change children to eat. The “three-year natural disaster” that began in 1959 is just around the corner.
Back to reality, after World War II, China and Japan established diplomatic relations in 1972. Since 1979, Japan has provided government loans and related assistance to China for 43 years, accumulating a total of 3.6 trillion yen. Some of these financial assistance are free of charge, and there are also extremely low interest (0.75% – 2.2%) The so-called “best terms” long-term loan. In addition to financial support, there is also extensive technical support such as technical cooperation with Japanese experts. Pudong International Airport, Wuhan Second Yangtze River Bridge, Qingdao Port and other large-scale projects have used Japanese loans. See Wiki for details Encyclopedia: Japanese government development aid to China .
During the Sino-Japanese honeymoon period in the 1980s and 1990s, a large number of Japanese animations were introduced to China, from the iron-armed Astro Boy, the smart one, Doraemon, etc. in the 1980s, to Sailor Moon, Ao Terman, Slam Dunk, Conan, etc., Japanese animation is almost full of the childhood of the post-80s. At that time, the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television and the later State Administration of Radio, Film and Television did not introduce any corresponding regulatory measures for Japanese animation, and public opinion did not lead to anti-Japanese, hatred of Japan, or vilification of Japan, seemingly forgetting the painful history.
At the end of 2019, the new crown epidemic appeared. Wuhan began to close the city on January 23, 2020. On January 26, the masks donated by Japanese people arrived in Wuhan. Supplies arrive. The ancients said: “The grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by the spring.” At the moment of “dynamic clearing” and “normalized nucleic acid testing”, forget Japan’s support for the Chinese people in the first time of the new crown epidemic, but to the former. For the first time, the person who clapped and applauded for the first time didn’t even have the least gratitude, right? At that time, when the Japanese supplies arrived, some people on the Internet did not even understand the meaning of “the mountains and rivers are exotic, the wind and the moon are the same sky”, “how can you say that you have no clothes, and you have the same robes as your son”, which shows the cultural level of netizens. In this way, it is understandable that these people lack gratitude.
Some people say that Abe is the Prime Minister of Japan, not a good person, and deserves to die. From a domestic perspective, Shinzo Abe is Japan’s longest-serving prime minister since the Meiji Restoration. Japan is a democratically elected country, and four terms as prime minister show that he is at least approved by the majority of Japanese. In terms of relations with China, Shinzo Abe paid his first visit to the prime minister and chose China instead of the United States as the first stop of his visit; during his second election as prime minister, he also visited Beijing and met with Chinese President Xi Jinping; in general, in Abe Japan-China relations have seen a slow but significant improvement during their time in power. This is not easy for the head of a country with a supreme emperor on his head.
Feng Youlan misrepresented Hu Shi’s words, saying that Hu Shi said “History is a little girl who lets people dress up.” Although Hu Shi didn’t actually say that, but in today’s China, history is indeed a little girl who lets people dress up. When you need it, you will be sweet with you and look forward; when you don’t need it or want to divert internal conflicts, Japan has become a good punching bag. In recent years, anti-Japanese sentiment has risen again, which is entirely the result of official guidance, and the masses are still these ignorant masses. After Abe was assassinated, even Zhao Lijian, a diplomat of War Wolf, said: “…I hope former Prime Minister Abe will get out of danger and recover soon. We express our condolences to his family…” However, a large number of netizens are still celebrating.
Hopefully the U-lock incident of 2012 won’t happen again.
