A Japanese netizen asked on Quora, the largest Q&A website abroad: "Why can't China and Japan shake hands and make peace like France and Germany?"
Later, the Japanese netizen who asked the question then added: "Haven't the Chinese always claimed to be a civilized country of etiquette? Why are the Chinese still unwilling to forgive the Japanese more than 70 years after the end of the war?" ”
Nowadays, many Japanese netizens believe that China should forgive Japan, just like France forgives Germany, but this has been rejected by Chinese netizens.
You must know that when Japan invaded China, it not only destroyed a large area of territory, but also killed 35 million of our compatriots, but to this day, Japan has not apologized to China, but has tried to erase their past crimes.
In my opinion, we cannot forgive Japan for our ancestors, not to mention that Japan has never recognized the history of the war of aggression against China, and now it has raised such a brazen question.
Therefore, in the face of questions from Japanese netizens, many people also commented below, and a foreign netizen commented, imagine if Germany had never apologized to France and also slaughtered 35 million French people, would France forgive Germany.
Immediately afterwards, a Canadian netizen said that Germany was, is, and will admit that what the Nazis did in the past was wrong, and Germany felt deeply guilty because of this, and Germany was willing to bear the corresponding responsibility.
They tried to repent of their past mistakes and promised that there would never be another Nazi in Germany, and Germany repented of its crimes with sincerity and deeds, while Japan, which was also one of the war criminals, has not apologized to China to this day.
Not only did Japan do nothing, but they tried to distort history, glorify and excuse their atrocities against other Asian countries during World War II, so they will not shake hands and make peace until Japan faces history and repents of its crimes.
Later, another foreign netizen commented that the Chinese would not shake hands with the Japanese, and although the Chinese would not do the massacre of Tokyo or something similar like the Japanese, we still have a grudge against the Japanese.
Because Japan is not like Germany, Germany is forgiven because Germany has deep apologies for the crimes of World War II, but Japan has no remorse at all, so Japan is hated.
In the last century, Japan rebuilt its economy with the help of the United States, and after Japan's economic rise, they began to award honors to war criminals who invaded China.
Japan's long-standing cover-up of their crimes has been met with protests from China and other Asian countries, with more and more comfort women dying and few survivors of the Nanjing Massacre.
Perhaps in the future, there will be fewer and fewer victims who can testify to Japan's crimes, and it is estimated that Japan will completely turn its face and deny this history, and the Chinese will never forget the history of the War of Resistance Against Japan, but some Japanese can remember this history.
Their children did not even know what their ancestors had done, and in Japanese textbooks, the "Nanjing Massacre" became the "Nanjing Incident", and over time, many children began to be misled, although the Japanese side never apologized in the face of accusations from outsiders.
Immediately afterwards, another American netizen said that Japan has never admitted to the atrocities committed in China, and judging from Japan's various performances, I don't see any guilt on their part.
Japan should learn from Germany, which has massacre Jews in World War II and displaced countless families for its crimes, for which Germany has made a profound apology, and the German Chancellor even knelt down in front of the memorial to the victims in repentance, which is also known as the "Warsaw Kneeling".
On the other hand, Japan, on the other hand, has been indifferent, not only has they not profoundly realized their mistakes, but they have also tampered with history, and the most excessive thing is that the Japanese Government has even visited the Yasukuni Shrine, knowing that all the enshrinements in it are war criminals who invaded China.
Therefore, Japan did not dare to take responsibility for the atrocities that occurred in China, and in Japanese textbooks, there is generally only a history before the War of Resistance Against Japan, and there are only a few brushstrokes in the history of the War of Resistance against Japan.
In addition to the Nanjing Massacre, Japanese students were also unaware of Unit 731, and it seems that most Japanese were unaware of the atrocities committed against China and how this denial of serious grievances would affect Chinese perceptions of Japan and the Japanese.
The most important point is that Japan's invasion of China has brought great disasters to Chinese civilization. And now, Japan has actually put a dead duck on the shelf, and there is no attitude of apology or repentance.
For this reason, Japan must face up to this period of history, because there is no way to escape the mistakes that have been made. Instead of trying to get through a series of small actions such as revising textbooks.
History can be forgiven, not forgotten. In other words, if Japan really faces up to history and sincerely apologizes, we may be able to consider whether to forgive.
But they keep saying that we don't want to forgive them, but in fact they don't mean to admit their mistakes at all, which can be said to be very cheeky.
