Although time is the cure for everything, it does not mean that all injuries can be forgotten, which many Chinese should feel. The harm caused by Japan to China has remained in people's hearts so far. Since the Opium War, Japan's war against China has never stopped, and the plunder of assets and land is even more difficult to calculate in terms of numbers. During World War II, Japan used cruel means to hurt many Chinese, and the mastermind behind all this was also the initiator of the war, Emperor Hirohito of Japan. Japanese Emperor Hirohito passed away, the Japanese side hopes that the Chinese side will attend the funeral, and we respond with a domineering response of 4 words
This man is a militant. During his reign, he successively planned many wars of aggression against China and the Pacific War, causing irreparable harm to China and more than a dozen countries in Southeast Asia. When the Second World War broke out, it was he who made the decision to stir up the whole of Asia. At that time, most of China's territory was invaded by Japan, but fortunately, Chinese heroic resistance, and after so many years of hard work, it finally ushered in the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan and drove Japan out of China.
According to common sense, Japan, as a defeated country in World War II, has caused so much pain to so many countries and should pay a painful price. However, everyone still underestimated Japan's "soft power", and he should have gone to court-martial, but because he tried his best to curry favor with the United States, he avoided a difficult situation. For reasons of global strategic considerations, the United States established Emperor Hirohito, and the Japanese emperor system was retained and continued to serve as its own head of state. It was not until January 1989 that Emperor Hirohito died of illness.
At that time, the Japanese emperor was the head of state, and his death was also a top priority for Japan, and many countries were invited to Japan to attend the funeral, whether out of courtesy or for future relations with Japan, most of them chose to attend. Of course, China also received posts, which is really a bit disturbing. It is because of him that countless Chinese families have lost their loved ones.
Now China is no longer the passive beaten country, after so many years of recuperation, the national strength has gradually become stronger, there is no need to look at other people's faces everywhere. If you attend the emperor's funeral at this time, it will undoubtedly be an insult to those martyrs who died. However, if you do not participate, you will lose the demeanor of the country.
So China proposed that if it wanted to have Chinese representatives attend the funeral, Japan must "face up to history," and these four words were the only conditions for attendance. Although Japan has surrendered, it is limited to the literal form. In particular, the history of harm to other countries during World War II is also refused to be recognized. In particular, they "distorted" history, portrayed Japan as the savior of the people of the world, and revised relevant textbooks.
Although Japan was angry about this request, it could only agree to it because of China's strength and the current funeral of the Japanese emperor. After the funeral of Emperor Hirohito of Japan, a press conference was held to explain to the world Japan's vices during World War II and sincerely apologize to China. There is no doubt that this matter is a reminder to everyone. If you want to get yourself out of the fate of being backward and beaten, you must be strong to get rid of this problem.
