January 7, 1989 was an extremely sad day for Japan, the day of the death of Emperor Hirohito Showa. In Japan, the emperor is a supreme being, a god in the hearts of the people.
However, in contrast to the scene in Japan, in the minds of Chinese people, the emperor, who is worshipped as a "god", is a "demon" who has committed many crimes. Recalling the death of Emperor Hirohito in 1987, the Japanese government announced the news to the world and sent invitations to various countries to send representatives to participate in Emperor Hirohito's funeral.
Of course, China, as a country that has been invaded, maintains diplomatic relations with Japan and is also invited. At that time, the Chinese government faced difficult decisions about how to respond.
However, the image of this Emperor Hirohito has not always been like this. He was born in 1901 and was the son of Emperor Taisho. In a royal family where men were inferior to women, Hirohito's birth attracted great attention. However, behind Hirohito's growth lies the shadow of militaristic ideology. Japan was full of militarism at that time, and Hirohito was deliberately cultivated by the imperial family from a young age, developing a belligerent character that laid the groundwork for later tragedies.
In 1926, Emperor Taisho died and Hirohito succeeded to the throne. However, his rule did not bring domestic stability, but triggered a series of disasters. After Hirohito's succession, Japan fell into a worldwide economic crisis, coupled with a succession of natural disasters, and the country was plunged into turmoil. However, Hirohito did not focus on the needs of the country, but turned his attention to aggression in an attempt to solve the problem through war.
Under the influence of militarism, Hirohito conspired with the Japanese military department and chose China as a breakthrough point to realize his ambitions. In 1931, the "918 Incident" broke out, and the Japanese army attacked northeast China. Subsequently, Hirohito used various means to make Puyi a puppet and establish a puppet state of Manchukuo. This series of actions revealed his strong influence under the Japanese militaristic system.
However, victory in World War II did not go as Hirohito had hoped. In 1945, Japan surrendered, and Showa Hirohito, under pressure from the Allies, was spared prosecution. His power was stripped away, Japan became a puppet of the Allies, and Hirohito became a symbolic presence with no real power. This also left Japan confused and struggling after the war.
In 1989, when Emperor Hirohito Showa died, the Japanese government held a grand funeral for him, inviting representatives from more than 160 countries. The Chinese Government accepted the invitation and sent a special envoy to attend, but it also clearly expressed its attitude towards history and hoped that Japan would face up to its history of aggression.
In general, Emperor Hirohito's life was full of militaristic influences, and his choices and decisions led to war and human tragedy. His immunity from prosecution as a war criminal has become a historical irony and a factor that cannot be ignored in Sino-Japanese relations. However, for Chinese people, history must not be forgotten, and facing history squarely is a necessary condition to prevent the recurrence of tragedies.
Throughout this long history, I have deeply felt the intricate influence of Emperor Hirohito and the great destruction he caused. Through in-depth study of his life, I have become more convinced of the importance of justice and peace, and the responsibility of history that every nation and individual should shoulder. As a witness, I hope we can learn from history and create a better future together.
