A few days ago, in the Hangzhou Asian Games table tennis competition, the Japanese table tennis team lost one after another, among which the top player Zhang Benzhihe encountered Waterloo in the first round. After the match, Chang actually blamed the cause of the defeat on China, and the audience felt that the spectators did not cheer for the Japanese team caused them great psychological pressure. In addition, the Japanese media also denounced the Chinese audience as "unfriendly".
Zhang Benzhihe's intimidation caused an uproar on the Internet, and most netizens strongly cracked down on it. This intimidation of Zhang Benzhihe is full of vigilant nationalism and also exposes their vulnerable psychological quality. Yes, the reason for this failure is the behavior of the opponent and the audience, mainly because some people in Japanese society have always been unable to correctly view history and understand Sino-Japanese relations correctly.
First, the trend behind Chang Motochi and intimidation is the idea of panicking nationalism in Japanese society
In international competition, failures often occur, which is undoubtedly very serious. However, Zhang Motochikazu attributed the reason for the failure entirely to the external environment, believing that the Chinese audience's "unfriendliness" to the Japanese team caused great psychological pressure, and this conjecture will definitely be exposed. Its narrow nationalist thinking.
In Chang Motochikazu's view, the Japan he represents should be supported and applauded by the audience, otherwise it is "unfriendly". This arrogance and arrogance fully exposes the influence of Japanese nationalist education, and they believe that Japan deserves the support and worship of young children, otherwise it is disrespectful to Japan.
The wrong nation thus realized that Japan's long-term militaristic education, one of the reasons for Japan's foreign expansion during the war, is to "liberate other Asian countries", so when they invaded China, they actually claimed to be "East Asian liberators" This distorted historical understanding is still deeply imprinted in the deepest part of some Japanese, so Zhang Motochi and Tomokazu defaulted to the support of young children, otherwise it is disrespect for Japan.
In the sports arena, spectators have the right to freely cheer for their favorite cheering teams, and there is nothing wrong with Chinese spectators who do not cheer for Zhang Benzhi and others. But in Chang's view, this already constitutes disrespect and insult to Japan. This narrow-mindedness fully exposes Japan's long-standing historical cognitive errors and the evil consequences of its education.
Second, the failure was due to prevarication and exposed the psychological quality of the Japanese team
In high-level international competitions, mental state often determines the outcome of victory and defeat. Tomokazu Chang blamed the newborn environment for the failure, exposing serious problems with the Japanese team's psychological quality.
Sports competition pursues fair competition, and only the technical strength of the players on the field is calculated. The fact that the Chinese audience does not cheer for the Japanese team will certainly cause a certain psychological pressure, but this pressure is something that masters need to face and overcome. As a world-class expert, Zhang Benzhihe should have strong enough psychological qualities to cope with this challenge.
It turns out that the mentality of the Japanese team is still stuck in the need of young children's care, and when it encounters setbacks, it wants to find external factors to get rid of themselves. This psychological quality determines that it is difficult for the Japanese team to burst out of potential at key moments, and it is difficult to complete the counterattack in a difficult environment.
The Chinese team also suffers from discordant conditions on the international stage, but the Chinese team will not blame external factors for the defeat. As mentioned in the CCTV commentary, the strong willpower and psychological quality of the Chinese team allow them to quickly adjust their state and cope with various adversities. That's the mentality of a world champion team.
In contrast, the psychological quality of the Japanese team has suffered too many problems. This also confirms the inevitability of the Chinese team winning in defending table tennis.
Third, continue to deny history and create an atmosphere
On the table tennis court, Chinese spectators struggled to cheer for their national team, which is a normal sporting event scene. However, Changmoto regarded it as "unfriendly" to Japan, a misconception that still prevails in Japanese society and a blind eye to historical issues.
It is a striking fact that there are complex historical issues between China and Japan. Japan fought a huge war against China during the war, and it is still a pain in the hearts of Chinese people.
However, the Japanese government and society still have a widespread attitude of turning a blind eye to historical issues. Not acknowledging and reflecting on the Nanjing Massacre, beautifying the history of aggression, and even supporting Class-A war criminals during the war have seriously hurt the feelings of the Chinese people.
In this case, asking the Chinese audience to fight hard to cheer for the Japanese team on the field is a very unreasonable request in itself. When historical issues are still unresolved, unilaterally asking the other side to show friendship is itself full of arrogance and unreasonableness.
Between China and Japan, it is necessary for the Japanese government and society to face up to history, sincerely reflect on the past history of aggression, and take practical actions to comfort the pain of the Chinese people. If Japan remains firmly convinced of the erroneous attitude of acknowledging history and unilaterally demands that the Chinese people implement the norms, this in itself is a pipe dream.
Tomokazu Changmoto's intimidation triggered this erroneous historical perception in Japanese society. The Japanese don't know now, relations between China and Japan are already bad, and Japan is facing historical problems
4. Chinese audiences firmly support the normal sportsmanship of the motherland
In the table tennis match-final, the Chinese spectators performed completely normally, and they firmly supported their national team, which demonstrated health and correct sportsmanship.
Japan did not perform well in the World Cup, being defeated several times. Chinese audiences do not have any ridicule or imaginary speculation, and still hold basic sportsmanship. But Chinese audiences are also not obliged to cheer for the Japanese team and firmly support their own team, which is the basic right of spectators.
In fact, in all sporting events, the Japanese spectators playing at home also gave any support to the Chinese team, and this was during the 2003 FIFA World Cup, which was seen as a problem at the time.
China's firm support for spectators embodies the correct spirit of sports competition. In contrast, Zhang Zhihe made a serious mistake in his failure, attributing his failure to normal sports spectator emotions, which instead revealed the psychological fragility in the bones of the Japanese team.
In international sports exchanges, spectators from all countries cheer for their national teams. This sense of national honor and collective honor is an important role in sports to enhance the sense of aggregation and honor. The Chinese audience performed well in this year's table tennis battle, on the contrary, the mistakes of the Japanese team are deeply worthy of reflection.
In summary, Zhang Benzhihe's attribution of the table tennis loss to the Chinese audience fully exposes the national thinking, fragile psychological quality, and attitude of ignoring historical issues of certain groups of people in Japanese society. The Chinese audience performed normally in this confrontation with China and showed a firm sportsmanship. The performance of the Japanese team is worth reflecting, but deep-seated problems have triggered a misperception of history in Japanese society. Only by facing history squarely can we reduce the contradictions between China and Japan and realize a true customary relationship.
