Dear netizens, hello everyone!
Yu Wenle posted a message of condolences to Shinzo Abe, which triggered strong condemnation
Recently, Hong Kong artist Yue Wenle posted on social platforms to mourn former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, which caused widespread controversy, and his remarks and actions seriously hurt the national feelings of the Chinese people and were strongly condemned. As a public figure, Yu Wenle should be responsible for his words and deeds, and should not use "freedom of speech" as an excuse to wantonly trample on national dignity.
National feelings are not child's play, and injuries are difficult to heal
Shinzo Abe made many anti-China remarks and visited the Yasukuni Shrine many times before his death, all of which angered the Chinese people. Yu Wenle's words of condolences are tantamount to giving Abe political legitimacy and historical status, which will seriously stimulate and hurt the national feelings of the Chinese people. National feelings are not child's play, they represent the dignity and bottom line of a nation, and once trampled and desecrated, the wounds caused are very difficult to heal.
Freedom of speech needs a bottom line, and national feelings cannot be hurt at will
Yu Wenle may excuse himself with "freedom of speech", but we must be clear that freedom of speech also needs a bottom line, and cannot arbitrarily infringe on the feelings of citizens and entire peoples of other countries. Public figures should set an example by being cautious in their words and deeds, and should not cause irreparable damage to international relations due to a momentary misjudgment.
Netizen comments
China needs to take a more proactive role in shaping the international public opinion landscape
On the whole, this incident reflects that China's initiative in the international public opinion arena is not enough, and it needs to take more initiative to shape the international public opinion pattern, spread China's voice, and avoid Western media from smearing China and misleading the international community. China should tell China's story well and enhance its international discourse power.
epilogue
National dignity is above all else, and Yu Wenle's erroneous remarks let us see the cunning of anti-China forces. Let us unite to tell China's story well in the new historical orientation, touch people's hearts with national pride, and safeguard the dignity and interests of the Chinese nation!
