When it comes to the Emperor of Japan, you will never forget this person, Emperor Hirohito. He was the first-hand initiator of the war of aggression against China and the War of the Pacific, and he was also our number one enemy at that time. Because of emperor Hirohito's actions, the mainland was seriously violated, and many heroic compatriots were sacrificed.
In the face of such a bloody history, the people of the mainland hated Emperor Hirohito very much. It was precisely because of Emperor Hirohito's brutality that the mainland was so badly hurt at that time. However, after the death of Emperor Hirohito, Japan invited mainland representatives to attend the funeral.
Out of courtesy, the mainland sent representatives to participate, but it did not mean that the mainland had forgotten the atrocities of Emperor Hirohito. At the funeral, I responded with four words: Face history. In the face of such a reply from the mainland, the Japanese were also ashamed and had to admit the history of invading China, but they never formally apologized!
1. What kind of person was Emperor Hirohito?
In the past, the Japanese imperial family was very concerned about "pure blood", so it was common for close relatives to marry, and Emperor Hirohito was the product of the marriage of close relatives. As a child born of the marriage of a close relative, Emperor Hirohito's body was different from that of a normal person from an early age, his fingers were not flexible, and he was born with myopia.
Not only that, but Emperor Hirohito was different from ordinary people since he was a child, and his ideas were always extreme and full of militaristic ideas. It was only after he was truly educated that his militaristic ideas really burst forth.
Emperor Hirohito's master was also an imperialist thinker, so his education of Emperor Hirohito was the same. The reason why Empress Hirohito launched the War of Aggression against China and the Pacific War was also related to his militarist education.
Compared with his predecessor, Emperor Hirohito was even more indifferent. When he succeeded to the throne, he set his sights on northeast China and decided to attack the northeast. By 1936, Emperor Hirohito was in control of the domestic situation and changed his name to "Emperor of the Empire of Japan" as a way to show his ambitions.
By 1937, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression had begun, and Emperor Hirohito had begun his misdeeds. However, Emperor Hirohito's abilities did not match his ambitions, and he was eventually defeated in 1945. Since then, the war of aggression against China has been a complete failure. Emperor Hirohito lost the battle in China and narrowly escaped sanctions and went on to return to Japan as his "emperor."
Second, why Emperor Hirohito escaped international sanctions
It stands to reason that people like Emperor Hirohito, who have waged so many wars, deserve to be punished. Why, then, did Emperor Hirohito not be punished, but instead lived well? It is mainly because of Japan's emperor system that the Japanese people are very supportive of Emperor Hirohito.
In the face of such support from the Japanese, although the United States wanted to swallow Japan, it "had no way to eat it." Because once the United States wants to execute Emperor Hirohito, then the Japanese people are bound to resist desperately to support their "god" - Emperor Hirohito.
In the minds of the Japanese, the emperor is a descendant of the god Amaterasu and a symbol of power. So, no matter what the emperor does, rightly or wrongly they will support it. From various film and television materials, it can be seen that the Japanese people's support for the emperor is very fanatical.
As long as the emperor gave any order, the Japanese would do their best to complete it, and if they could not, they would express their apologies by "cutting off their stomachs and committing suicide". It can be seen that the Japanese people are crazy and obsessed with the Japanese emperor.
Therefore, under such concerns, the United States waived sanctions against Emperor Hirohito for the sake of an afterlife. The Absolute Obedience of the Japanese to the Emperors is so profound that they still worship those emperors every year.
In the face of such a situation, the people of the mainland have expressed great anger, obviously they are the "sinners" who have hurt us, but they are the "gods" of the Japanese. But when Emperor Hirohito died, Mainland was invited to his funeral.
China's response to Emperor Hirohito's funeral with four words made the Japanese ashamed
As the saying goes: it's not that the time has not come. In 1989, Emperor Hirohito, who had done all the bad things, died of duoctal cancer. After the death of Emperor Hirohito, Japan held a funeral for him and invited many countries to attend. Among them, China was invited.
At that time, Sino-Japanese relations eased, so China eventually sent representatives to attend The funeral of Emperor Hirohito out of courtesy. But the fact that the mainland sent people to attend Emperor Hirohito's funeral did not mean that we had forgotten everything he had done, but that we were a great power and should have the demeanor of a great power.
Therefore, the mainland representatives did all the etiquette at The funeral of Emperor Hirohito, but they did not ignore the wrong things that Emperor Hirohito did. In front of everyone, I replied with 4 words: Face history squarely. In the face of the directness of the mainland, the Japanese are also very ashamed, because they really can't get on the table for what they have done in that period of history.
Obviously, they made a mistake, but at first they did not admit it, and they also made such an absurd thing as modifying the history book. But we are not accustomed to them, saying those 4 words in such a public place. In the so-called pursuit of common development, Japan must face up to the establishment of the matter and apologize.
Only in this way can history truly turn a new page. The Japanese did not realize it, but made mistakes again and again, constantly covering up their former evil deeds. Such behavior is really difficult to accept.
However, the eyes of the masses are shining, and although the Japanese do not recognize their actions, the mainland, including other great powers, knows it and condemns Japan. Perhaps under pressure from public opinion, Japan eventually made public its crimes during World War II on television.
But their failure to formally apologize still infuriates us and other countries. At that time, so many innocent compatriots on the mainland lost their lives because of the evil deeds of the Japanese, and such pain is unforgettable for us as Chinese.
epilogue
As a Chinese, he faced the harm the Japanese had done to China in modern times, and later shamelessly denied the crime. I hate it deeply, and that's what all Chinese think.
That humiliating and tragic history is something we Chinese unforgettable, and we have become more united as a result. All Chinese will not forget the crimes committed by the Japanese, as well as the culprit, Emperor Hirohito. Emperor Hirohito did so much wrong, but in the end he was not punished, but returned to Japan to continue to be emperor.
In the face of Emperor Hirohito, the Japanese still respect him, and there is some difference between right and wrong. But fortunately, we still remember that although the mainland participated in the funeral of Emperor Hirohito out of courtesy, it still said the four words "face up to history" at the funeral. This made the Japanese ashamed and had to openly admit their crimes.
