On August 15, 1945, 76 years ago today, Japan announced its unconditional surrender.
After 14 years of bloody struggle and more than 35 million casualties of compatriots, the ancestors never gave up resistance to have today's happy life. As a descendant, no matter how many years have passed, how can those sacrifices and sufferings be made, and how dare we forget them?
Zhang Zhehan, who was born in 1991, has just arrived at the year of his establishment this year.
As we all know, the year of establishment comes from the Analects, and Confucius said that when a person reaches the age of thirty, he is the age at which he can stand on his own. To this day, the year of establishment has almost become a synonym for men in their thirties. That is to say, at the age of thirty, it should be a man's age of self-reliance, self-reliance in learning, and self-reliance in his career.
As an actor who is a descendant of Yan Huang and "loves to read", Zhang Zhehan set up his extraordinary career through the TV series "Mountain and River Order" this year.
Through the painstaking creation of a love of reading, he established his own full knowledge, but his "ulterior motives" allowed himself to collapse the personality that should have been the first to stand up.
Yes, I used "ulterior motives" instead of "ignorance." Because Zhang Zhehan is a college student who graduated from the musical theater class of the Shanghai Theater Academy, he was at least a person who had received nine years of compulsory education before.
Just open the primary school Chinese textbook, the second grade has learned "Singing the Second Little Cowherd" The third grade has learned "Anti-Japanese Heroine Zhao Yiman", the fourth grade has learned "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", the fifth grade has learned "The Five Heroes of Wolf Tooth Mountain", the sixth grade has learned "Anti-Japanese Hero Yang Jingyu"... The list goes on.
There are also 918, 77, 300,000 victims in history textbooks, August 15, 1945... These dates that must be remembered, for all Chinese, the knowledge learned in these nine years is the fundamentals of a person's knowledge structure that will ultimately be unforgettable. That is to say, all of our outlook on life and values are based on this fundamental.
Therefore, when I say that "personality" is the first and the foundation of the three stands, no one should object to it, and then it is knowledge and career. Undoubtedly, Zhang Zhehan put the cart before the horse. No matter how peak the cause, no matter how profound the knowledge, is not based on the premise of noble personality, or even basic personality, it is a castle in the air and a moon in the water. Not to mention that the so-called career is a controversial delay, and the so-called love of reading is hard and concave.
Zhang Zhehan has shown his love of reading more than once, reading between activities, eating, makeup and even reading books at the airport, and also opening a book list for everyone.
In a talk show, when the host asked Zhang Zhehan to share with everyone the book he was reading, we looked at Zhang Zhehan's performance.
I also noticed that several of the books I read in Zhang Zhehan were by the Japanese writer Haruki Murakami.
Anyone who has read Haruki Murakami should know that in the book "Abandoned Cats", Haruki Murakami first revealed his father's cruel atrocities during the war of aggression against China. He wrote in the book: I desperately wrote it out as a duty of the person who wrote it. Some things will be forgotten over time, and some things will be re-mentioned by time.
Haruki Murakami's political position has always been very clear, and he has publicly said on many occasions that the Japanese government should face history squarely and reflect on the past, and Japan should sincerely apologize for the past war of aggression. He even refused to meet with his father because of his former identity, refused to eat Chinese food, and did not have children, because he was not sure whether he should pass on the genes of this aggressor to the next generation and let the children repeat their pain.
After Japan officially entered the "Reiwa Era", Haruki Murakami publicly called for "inheriting history" and "not forgetting the past" in his first article on the "Reiwa Era".
So I can't understand, whether These books by Haruki Murakami Zhang Zhehan have read or not read?
Therefore, I can't agree that Zhang Zhehan's behavior is only the so-called "ignorance" in his apology. Some of his actions are not as simple as making some slips of the tongue or misreading words that he does not recognize!
Recently, there have been many accidents among entertainment stars, but I have not seen any of them let the people's daily, CCTV, people's network and other official media make a severe criticism of "knowingly committing crimes", "not distinguishing between right and wrong" or even "being with 'ghosts'" at the first time, and characterizing them as "making mistakes of principle"?
People's Daily commented on Zhang Zhehan's apology:
This apology is to pay for one's own ignorance, but also to seek forgiveness for offending the feelings of the Chinese people. As a public figure, it is too undeserved to lack historical common sense and be unaware of national suffering. It is a matter of national righteousness, and there is no room for any temptation, still less any challenge. If you knowingly commit a crime, you have to pay a heavy price.
CCTV Commentary:
Whether it is taking a group photo in front of the Yasukuni Shrine or attending a wedding at the Nogi Shrine, Zhang Zhehan has touched the scars of history and hurt national feelings, which cannot be simply attributed to "once ignorant"...
As Chinese, we should remember history and forge ahead; we must not distinguish between right and wrong, or even mislead young people! Remember: Yasukuni Shrine is full of ghosts, don't forget history when self-reliant!
People's Daily posted:
There must be a bottom line in front of the big right and wrong, especially the public figures. As a Chinese, you should know what the Yasukuni Shrine is. Taking photos in front of the Yasukuni Shrine is in the company of 'ghosts', and it is not possible to turn the page with a sentence of ignorance. Making a mistake of principle is not something that can be achieved by simply apologizing, but must bear its due cost. Such an artist is no longer cool, will the majority of netizens agree?
In the above criticism of the official media, there is no half sentence that has wronged him, nor half a sentence that has seriously said that he is serious, because as long as he is a Chinese, he cannot forgive him after watching Zhang Zhehan's behavior!
The cause of the incident was that on August 12, some netizens found that Zhang Zhehan posted a group of nine-palace selfies on social platforms in March 2018, and it was he who visited the infamous Yasukuni Shrine and smiled biye.
Regarding the common sense of the Yasukuni Shrine, I think it is needless to say, but simply put, this is a place where as long as Japanese politicians pay homage to our Ministry of Foreign Affairs once, they will condemn it once, and domestic public opinion will scold it once.
Because as a modern person, not only Chinese, no one in the world knows that the Yasukuni Shrine is enshrined in Japanese war criminals, these people are all criminal murderers, it can be said that their existence is a shame for Japan, but also a shame for the entire human race.
However, Zhang Zhehan "does not know"?
Now, a Chinese here, smiling, taking pictures, and compared to a yay. Whether he likes it or not, in Japan's propaganda tone, he will become "Chinese celebrity smiling at the Yasukuni Shrine." Fans say it's not a visit, but what's the use? In the future, as long as we condemn the Japanese people for visiting the shrine, they will talk about it.
Immediately after, some netizens pulled out that Zhang Zhehan had gone to Japan to participate in a friend's wedding, the wedding place was Nogi Shrine, and the guests at the wedding had a sensitive identity and a shameless remark, Mrs. Dai Wei, which instantly triggered a fierce disgust from netizens.
Although nogi shrine is not as notorious as the Yasukuni Shrine, the nogi shrine enshrined in the shrine was one of the initiators of the Lushun massacre during the Sino-Japanese War, the third governor of Taiwan in the Japanese colonial era, and a war criminal who seriously injured the Chinese people on both sides of the strait in history.
Nogi Norinori
Zhang Zhehan also "does not know"?
Who is Mrs. Dai Wei? Is the former first lady of Indonesia, denied the Nanjing Massacre, anti-China Japanese!
Zhang Zhehan "don't know"?
I also took a group photo and smiled!
This makes me have to wonder, is Zhang Zhehan's graduation certificate from elementary school, middle school, and high school all fake? Otherwise, the class teacher and the classroom teacher will have to be angry to death! Painstakingly educate a student who "doesn't know" anything.
Is this really "ignorant" or intentional?
Let's look further down at how Zhang Zhehan's studio and fans reacted after this incident.
For this wedding, some fans of Zhang Zhehan argued that he was only an invitee and did not know the background of other people at the wedding.
At the very first time, Zhang Zhehan's studio topped a Weibo post released in July, which said: "Mr. Zhang Zhehan has always loved the party and the country, resolutely supported the leadership of the party, and the national interests above all else are the bottom line of principles, and there is no doubt about it!" ”
Well, declaring that loving the party and the country, resolutely supporting the party's leadership, and putting the interests of the state above all else are the bottom line of principle, but the words are all rumors.
He said that he had assisted the lawyer in carrying out evidence preservation work at the first time, and thoroughly investigated and seriously dealt with such heinous rumor-mongering and smear incidents! ...... Warn all malicious rumor-mongers and immediately stop all misrepresentation and smear on any online platform! We will resolutely defend our rights and will never tolerate it! ”
Not only did he not realize his serious mistake at the first time, but he also beat a rake, no doubt, this act directly angered the majority of netizens.
So the whole network opened the pickpocket, found that Zhang Zhehan in addition to the above behavior, but also posted a photo of the car printed with the flag of the rising sun on the social platform, and the text "can only hope that Mei quenches thirst." ”
If at this point, Zhang Zhehan may still be able to argue through "ignorance", then under the deep digging of netizens, Zhang Zhehan's "intention" is gradually revealed.
Let's go back to this wedding, starting with Jang's groom's friend Yosuke Sato, who is a member of the Sato family, an extreme right wing in Japan.
Through the photos, it is clear that the "eagle feather" family emblem on his clothes is the same as the family emblem of junichiro Koizumi, two former Japanese prime ministers who openly went to the Yasukuni Shrine to worship ghosts.
On the homepage of Yosuke Sato's official social platform is the Yasukuni Shrine map. I think this person's background and position do not need to be introduced too much.
So as a young actor who has just become a fire in China and has become a top-notch actor, how can Zhang Zhehan be friends with members of the Japanese Sato family, enter the house, attend weddings, and even speak?
This matter is very strange from the general logic point of view! So there is good reason to wonder: what is Zhang Zhehan's background? How deep is this young man?
So netizens continued to pull out more fierce materials, and from this, we also learned about the complexity and weirdness of Zhang Zhehan's background!
First of all, Zhang Zhehan's mother's company is called "Asia Pacific Rong", in addition to this name is easy to make people think of, more outrageous is that the company's logo looks like this.
If these are coincidences and associations, then the company also has an English name and trademark "YATARON". According to netizens, the company's original name was Yataro, which means "Yataro" in Japan, and later changed to YATARON.
Enter Yataro, on the Internet we can find some Japanese celebrities named Yataro, one of whom is named Yataro Iwasaki, who is the founder of Japan's "first chaebol" Mitsubishi Group, who has provided a large number of weapons for the war of aggression against China.
Yataro Iwasaki
Of course, these are only some kind of associations and speculations of netizens at this stage, and naturally cannot be blindly believed. However, next, some netizens threw out a stunning group photo.
In the photo, Zhang Zhehan and a Japanese actor are none other than koizumi Koizumi, the son of Former Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi.
It can be seen that the two are cordially photographed and smiling!
In the face of such facts, it is difficult not to question Zhang Zhehan's position.
Therefore, at the beginning of the incident, the capital behind Zhang Zhehan began to scramble to withdraw. As of the time of publication, Zhang Zhehan's 27 endorsements have all been stripped away.
In addition, including "Mountain and River Order", Zhang Zhehan's TV series, variety shows and other works have all been removed from the shelves. Its studio social platforms are all banned! The China Performance Industry Association requires member units to boycott the actor Zhang Zhehan! The following comments were made and announced on the behavior of actor Zhang Zhehan:
The Yasukuni Shrine is the spiritual tool and symbol of Japanese militarism in launching a war of aggression against foreign countries, and is a place where right-wing forces in Japan deny history and beautify the war of aggression. For entertainers engaged in cultural work, establishing a correct view of history is a basic professional quality, and ignorance is not an excuse.
The Ethics and Self-Discipline Committee of the Association commented that there was serious impropriety in the behavior of actor Zhang Zhehan, which not only hurt national feelings, but also had a bad adverse impact on the youth group in his audience. Therefore, the Association morally reprimanded the improper behavior of actor Zhang Zhehan in visiting the Yasukuni Shrine, and in accordance with the provisions of the Measures for the Administration of Self-Discipline of Performing Artists in the Performance Industry, it asked member units to boycott his practice.
At the same time, we solemnly remind the vast number of performing arts practitioners that we must strengthen our study and enhance our understanding, and we must not be vague or wavering in the face of the great national righteousness; history cannot be forgotten, and the bottom line cannot be loosened. Those who cross the line will be punished.
Like the state media that spoke out before, the chinese performance industry association was unusually harsh in wording. The reason why it is so severe is that Zhang Zhehan's behavior is not only a mistake, it is not an exaggeration to say that there is only one step away from the crime. Therefore, I think that Zhang Zhehan was banned, which is a pity, and it is also impossible for people to sympathize.
We need more than just a positive artist, he has to be an individual first! Instead of dummies with pathological, twisted, and even complex backgrounds! It's not that we're too sensitive, it's that the suffering of our ancestors was too deep, too painful. Regrettably, there are always some people who, in the face of such history, under the guise of ignorance, embark on the retrograde path of history.
And all this, in fact, as early as his statement that "always love the party and the country, resolutely support the party's leadership, and the national interests above everything is the bottom line of principle", through his own actions, planted the seeds, Zhang Zhehan's end, has long been doomed. People who love to read, and even patriotism, are lifted higher, and the more miserable they fall when they fall. Eventually, abandoned by the times...
Finally, we must use a CCTV sentence to evaluate Zhang Zhehan's words: Remember! Yasukuni Shrine is full of ghosts, don't forget history when self-reliant!
