After Zeng Ying returned to her hometown of Japan, she seemed to have completely left behind the haze of the past. Targeting the current popular restaurant industry, she opened a unique udon restaurant in the heart of Tokyo.
The décor of this store is unique, infusing Zeng Ying's unique understanding and love of Japanese culture. The red lanterns hanging high at the entrance and the intricately carved wood lintels make you feel the rich Japanese style.
Walking into the store, there are Japanese Japanese bonsai and hanging paintings decorating the room, giving people a solemn and elegant but energetic feeling.
In addition to these hardware and software facilities, Zeng Ying has also raised the production of udon noodles to an artistic realm. She insists on hand-selecting the finest flour, mixing the dough repeatedly, and slowly pulling each udon noodle bit by bit according to the most authentic manual process.
This kind of strict requirements are Zeng Ying's interpretation and inheritance of the spirit of Japanese culture.
As soon as this udon noodle restaurant opened, it quickly attracted a large number of diners. Perhaps Zeng Ying still retains the popularity base of Internet celebrity bloggers many years ago, or perhaps it is this unique management method of total dedication and meticulous craftsmanship, in short, in just one month, the turnover has approached the considerable level of 2 million yen.
With such a promising start, Zeng Ying plans to develop this udon restaurant into a chain brand that will flourish all over Japan in the future. She has reason to have infinite hopes and bright expectations for her career prospects.
After all, this is not only an affirmation of her own talents, but also an extreme interpretation of Zeng Ying's unswerving pursuit of Japanese culture.
Zeng Ying has shown an extraordinary talent for learning since she was a child, and has passed her student days with high scores all the way.
She was finally admitted to the Department of Finance of the famous Inada University in Japan with excellent grades and obtained a master's degree in finance, which laid a solid theoretical foundation for her future work in the business world.
After graduating from university, Zeng Ying did not stop there, but gave full play to her unique international vision, and successively founded a number of companies in Japan, among which the most far-reaching influence is the Japanese Tongdao Culture Company.
Through these platforms, Zeng Ying has integrated her love of Japanese culture into her actual business operations, and has achieved remarkable results.
In addition to her outstanding performance in the academic and professional fields, Zeng Ying's obsession with Japanese animation culture is even more public. As early as junior high school, she taught herself Japanese and became fascinated by Japanese animation.
Having lived in Japan for a long time, she knows the customs and customs of Japan very well, and has become a candidate for many domestic media to be a correspondent in Japan.
It is worth mentioning that Zeng Ying has great respect for former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. In her view, Shinzo Abe's series of policies have not only promoted the take-off of Japan's economy, but also benefited her personal life and career development.
It can be seen that Shinzo Abe is the embodiment of the ideal leader in her mind for Zeng Ying.
On an ordinary day in July 2022, the silence was completely shattered by a deafening gunshot. Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was shot dead at a campaign event, which is undoubtedly shocking news.
As a Chinese journalist based in Japan, Zeng Ying was naturally ordered to go to the scene to conduct first-hand reporting and interviews.
However, to everyone's surprise, Zeng Ying showed an unprecedented state of emotional disorder during the whole live broadcast.
I saw that her cheeks were red, her eyes were full of tears, and she kept repeating the words "Mr. Abe" in her mouth, as if she was in an atmosphere of great mourning.
This abnormal behavior has aroused strong criticism and questions from netizens. After all, as a journalist, professionalism and objectivity are professional guidelines that must be followed. However, Zeng Ying failed to restrain her personal emotions well, but openly showed her partiality and support for Shinzo Abe, which is naturally taboo in the field of public opinion.
What's even more surprising is that that night, Zeng Ying did not stop speaking out on the Internet. Instead, she passionately wrote a long essay in support of Mr. Abe and his contributions to Sino-Japanese relations.
She seemed completely unaware of how inappropriate and offensive such behaviour could be in the current situation.
Zeng Ying's suicide and its consequences
Zeng Ying's public post on the Internet to support and support Shinzo Abe undoubtedly ignited the fuse of netizens' anger. This is not difficult to understand, because as a descendant of Class A war criminals during World War II, Shinzo Abe is a highly controversial figure in his own right.
He has not only publicly denied the atrocities of aggression against China on many occasions, but has also repeatedly visited the heinous Yasukuni Shrine, and these actions are undoubtedly hurting and provoking the feelings of the Chinese people.
Therefore, Zeng Ying's blatant support for Abe has undoubtedly aroused strong condemnation and condemnation from netizens. After enduring more than ten days of online violence in succession, Zeng Ying seemed to be unable to bear the heavy psychological pressure, and finally chose to end her life by suicide.
Fortunately, after Zeng Ying's friend called the police and contacted the medical institution in time, she was rescued and rescued. However, this suicide incident also brought other unintended and serious consequences to her - her personal account that had been operating online for many years was completely banned, and all channels for online exposure and voice were interrupted.
Later, relevant information showed that Zeng Ying had been suffering from depression many years ago.
Perhaps the suicide was not impulsive, but the result of a long-standing mental illness that had been sitting under pressure.
This makes us feel that Zeng Ying in Vanity Fair is actually burdened with unimaginable pain behind her.
Looking back at Zeng Ying's past words and deeds, we may be able to get a glimpse of a special tendency and submission to Japan in her heart. As early as 2018, she publicly expressed her intention to change her nationality and become a Japanese citizen.
At that time, she also planned to follow the example of Mr. Li Xiaomu, who worked in the media in Japan, and became the second Chinese to participate in the election in Japan, and also to play the role of the first woman.
As soon as this explosive remark was exposed, it immediately caused an uproar on the Internet. As a Chinese citizen, he openly expresses his yearning for a foreign country, and intends to become a citizen of another country and participate in the political ecology of another country, which is undoubtedly tarnishing and desecrating his original nationality and national identity.
No wonder many netizens have raised serious questions about Zeng Ying's patriotic loyalty. A person's sense of identity with the motherland should be the basis of unquestionable feelings.
However, Zeng Ying publicly confided in such seemingly "betrayal" thoughts, which naturally made people wary and suspicious of her.
Under the strong pressure of this kind of public opinion, Zeng Ying's series of other words and deeds naturally could not be left alone, and was given the sensational malicious label of "surrendering to Japan".
This is undoubtedly a suffocating shadow in Zeng Ying's life.
Today, Zeng Ying has started an udon noodle restaurant in her hometown of Japan and has achieved remarkable business results.
From one perspective, Zeng Ying's obsession with Japanese culture is beyond doubt. It is this persistent pursuit that allows her to achieve career success in a foreign country and create her own world.
But from another perspective, her motives for doing so are puzzling when she has frequently expressed her favoritism and support for Japanese politicians and policies in public over the years.
The culture of the motherland that gave birth to us should be our inseparable root. But does being unique in a foreign land mean that this foundation can be completely abandoned?
But in any case, we should exhort Zeng Ying to re-examine her position and identity, and not to get lost in the fanatical pursuit of foreign cultures, and forget her original cultural pursuit and mission.
