I don't know why what I know about Japan is so inconsistent with mainstream propaganda and ideology, many people would say the reason is just: you forget the shame of the war of aggression and the unpatriotic traitors.
The disaster of World War II and many dehumanizing films, interviews, books, and various traces of war I heard about, in the end, I don’t know what to say to the current world or people, only one sentence remains: “History always cyclically satisfies personal desires. and interests develop all kinds of tragedies."
The name of this anime attracts my affection and liking very much, maybe because life is as tiny as dust, we are all individuals living in the corner of the world.
I don't know about Japan as a nation, but many of the literary masters and works that I like are from this famous family. They have integrity, grace and wisdom, and they are respected, remembered and respected like any other nation in the world. welcome. As far as modern times are concerned, many people like the suspense novel writer Higashino Keigo, the Nobel Prize winner Haruki Murakami, the most cutting-edge animation and literature studio, and the master Kawabata Yasunari with an extremely gentle personality. If you have to say I must to hate you to someone you love so much, because you are a bad men.
Humans can be distinguished from thinking reeds, and no one can be forced to do what they cannot do.
Some people say that Wang Guowei Yuzhong committed suicide for the collapse of the late Qing government, so he is not worthy of being called a master at all.
Some people say that Hitler slaughtered the Jews. Federal German Chancellor Willy Brandt knelt down and prayed at the Polish Jewish Monument in Warsaw. Reasonable people will forgive the repentant nation.
Some people say that if you know a little about the war of aggression against China, you will understand why you need to hate Japan.
Some say the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were retribution.
Some say that the Jews were slaughtered for their cunning and greed.
I don't know how much facts and truths people need to know, but I can't agree with the "truth" that many people say, even though I have a simple feeling that these words are very reasonable. Now I have found that the truth is two-sided, it can play the wronged victim reasonably in one way and commit crimes in another way.
During World War II, countless compatriots were killed and wounded, many of whom were of high moral character, heroic integrity, and selfless dedication. The war completely pushed us from the feudal era to a new era. At this conclusion, I believe no one will simply say that we are grateful for all the wars that took place in this dismal hundred years of the 20th century. In the same way, after a few people's crazy crimes finally turned into an unstoppable crime of the century, can we simply say that everyone in the other nation should bear the full responsibility for the result?
The German troops approached Moscow, the capital of the former Soviet Union, a superpower on the verge of extinction, and they fought back all the way to insert the Soviet flag into the city of Berlin. Compared with the Soviet Union, the number of Jewish deaths in this war was only small. Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, the United States dropped two atomic bombs, and World War II ended. From direct physical combat to today's technological killing, the way humans want to kill their own kind has been improving.
"All Quiet on the Western Front" said why when the people sitting on the political circle decide to start a war, they want thousands of innocent people to fight with their flesh and blood, while they are spitting on each other. Wouldn't things be much simpler if the wars of the world could be turned into fights by the superiors themselves? In the animal world, the leader of the wolf pack is determined by the battle between the strongest. If the human world can solve all problems in this way, I think even if civilization disappears, it may not be a bad thing to return to the beasts.
Regarding the second point, many people say that Japan has been denying their crimes, and they are even distorting history.
"Absolute force means absolute right to speak", this sentence has been uttered by many people in different ways, such as Churchill, Chairman Mao. Many people will agree and approve of this approach, but just want to acquiesce to the rationality of the existence of crimes such as war. Many things are destined to be unchangeable, because if someone wants to be rich and enjoy, someone must be oppressed, exploited, and enslaved. Animals bite and fight for food, and humans fight for land and jewels. Power represents the qualifications to have. If such a brutal reality becomes the goal of pursuit, then why should we hypocritically call civilization. I always thought the phrase meant that we needed to strengthen ourselves, but I found that what really made it applicable was the stamped statement on the rationalization of human aggression. Fist-players don't have to look like hooligans, nor are they an exception.
Second, we must be outraged because the perpetrator cannot be allowed to run amok just because the deceased cannot defend himself. If it is the worship behavior of Yasukuni Shrine, I think we should also kill us with hoes. But I don't see why it's a game of words and thoughts. Newton, who believed in theology in his later years, was the same person as Newton who proposed the three laws. Why do we have to veto his great scientific achievements? In order to send a person to the altar, he must be deified? In order to hate a person, it is necessary to falsify all the truth?
In 2013, I deliberately went to the Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall in Nanjing. To be honest, I was very dissatisfied. There was an exhibition room in which all kinds of Japanese were educated after surrendering and recognized their evil deeds. There were so many bones in the exhibition room that I didn't know whether to be angry or to forgive. I believe that many people will be like this. In the beginning, they are full of hatred. Later, they can't put their hatred to hate those who throw hatred at us. Later, the suppressed anger disappears and turns into indifference. If we are motivated by faux pas that cannot stand scrutiny, then it is doomed to nothing but disaster.
My sympathy for innocent lives and admiration for the struggles of ordinary people is the source of all my fondness for this anime. Because in the era of the outbreak of war and various propaganda and education, weak individuals are optimistic, kind and strong to survive, which makes me extremely admired and moved. In them, I can see the shadow of my parents struggling to survive under the fireworks of the past 100 years. Above and beyond human beings, what we receive and what we pay for are equally weighty. All evil can take many forms, but all good is the same.
The pain that was once unbearable in the middle came from Xiaoling's use of various methods to make a big bowl of rice, and it was delicious. I have heard the saying "Only food and love can't live up to it", this is a beautiful love story. In the history of "three years of natural disasters", what I heard my grandfather mentioned was just a simple sentence: "We were at a high place at that time, it was better, no one died of starvation". In the volatile decades in the past, because our place was so remote that invaders were reluctant to trek, the caves we built were of no use. Many people say that you escaped misfortune because you were far from the battlefield. But many people forget that when you enjoy the city night life with high lights, there are still many people lighting up the night. If history needs to be worse than anyone to have the right to speak, then I think in contrast, those who really have the right to speak tend to swallow tears and blood into their own destiny alone.
It is often man himself that turns man into a beast. Today, they will say that it is the person they deserve, and if they have the initiative, they will be so cruel to others or even more ruthless.
When people look for reasons for crimes, some of the reasons they find also recognize the legitimacy of their crimes. The victim's complaint sometimes arouses people's sympathy and sometimes people's disregard. In the tumbler model, justice often comes late. Marshal Zhukov of the former Soviet Union made outstanding achievements in the defense of Moscow, the defense of Stalingrad, and the attack on Berlin. It is reasonable to say that he was a national hero of the former Soviet Union, but after his death in 1974 in his depressing old age, his name was only rectified in 1995.
I have often wondered whether we should blame the war or the people who started the war, if the former is just a piece of paper, and if the latter is just a post-mortem. Those who have prevented things from happening over the years have always been a few calm and righteous people who were once the source of the burden of anger buffering. Fair treatment, then I think in this same power, people who do not believe in God but believe that everything needs to be dealt with fairly, they are in the same position. To put it simply, your Jehovah-style beliefs, my human nature beliefs, the Garden of Eden and the world of Datong are actually one and the same.
History books teach us to hate our enemies, but many people forget that the main point of history books is to read for the rise of China. Why do some people always turn the steering wheel and become hostile to everything, then shout slogans and buckle all kinds of hats. Some people say that not everyone thinks about things the same as you, there are many people who have suffered from different circumstances, not to mention that there are many people who are victims of this disaster, you can't ask the victims to be the same as your bystanders To talk about tolerance and understanding, or to look at issues from a fair perspective, such empty arguments are even more ineffective in terms of development.
What most people think of after suffering misfortune is not fair treatment, but revenge. And more people will not feel that revenge is unreasonable, because whoever said that people must be sages. I think I am also confused. After all, sometimes what is right is not applicable. In a large group, existence is reasonable, and only what is applicable will always exist. Therefore, many people, because of their inability as individuals, can only grit their teeth and carry this mountain when a speck of ashes is thrown away in the era of crowd clamor.
What I like and admire is just because I could no longer survive in that era and environment. Can always insist on living the best days and survive adversity. In the same way a lot of people love The Shawshank Redemption, I love In This Corner of the World. As for what other people said, I took it as a slight flaw and dealt with it. Although I felt uncomfortable while watching the movie, I also understood that my discomfort was the same source of anger of many people, but I know that a Japanese director is different from a Chinese director. of. Just like no matter how much we like Japanese culture, film and television, etc., we will always remember that we are Chinese, but we have more persistence and standards as people.
I grew up watching anti-Japanese TV dramas and martial arts dramas. The earliest song I listened to was Grandpa's Crossing the Yalu River. I think I have read the most information about China during World War II among my peers. In recent years, I have been looking to watch documentaries, biographies, and interviews during World War II; all disaster films and war dramas. In the end, I found out: the world is a spinning top, it keeps spinning, and when it stops, Always face the sun on one side and carry the weight on the other side.
Finally, what I want to say is: Ancient battlefields: the battle of siege ate the living, Bai Qi buried 400,000 Zhao troops alive, and robbed the women and children of the defeated country. The disaster brought about by the three words "comfort women", the rape case that happened today, I don't know how people define crime. But I find it strange: the crimes are all the same, but people's reactions are not the same, maybe it's the difference between home and country.
Finally, I want to say: You can dislike or state that you don't like it, but there is no need to unreasonably give other people all kinds of hats. History should not be forgotten, a nation with a past has a farther future. People should also have heights, and only with heights can life be seen farther.
