In the quiet hotel room, the TV screen reflected on Chen Hua's face, reflecting a worried look.
He slowly raised his head and stared at the Japanese people on the screen who were shouting slogans on the streets of Shinjuku, and couldn't help but sigh.

This dispute over "real holiday himself" triggered by the Palestinian-Israeli conflict made him feel very puzzled. As a Chinese living in Japan, he could not understand why that compatriot who spoke out impulsively would act so provocatively. This not only caused the anger of Japanese netizens, but also set off a wide range of controversy in China.
What is it that makes an ordinary Chinese person the center of controversy? What was the reason for his decision? Chen Hua couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
It all started a few days ago.
On that day, Chen Hua had a rare opportunity to relax and prepare to go shopping in Shinjuku's shopping street. As a Chinese who has worked in Japan for many years, he has basically adapted to the rhythm of life here and has developed some inherent living habits.
However, just as he stepped into the Shinjuku Station Square, he was caught off guard by what he saw. I saw that a large group of Japanese people were gathering in the square, holding the national flag and chanting slogans, and the sound was deafening.
"Support Gaza! Stop the slaughter!"
With this slogan, Chen Hua was a little at a loss for a while. Originally, he just wanted to come here to do some shopping and relax, but he didn't expect to encounter such a scene.
What the hell are these Japanese doing? Can't they just give me a quiet environment where I can do some shopping?
The dissatisfaction in his heart surged up all of a sudden, and Chen Hua couldn't help but speak out on the Internet, demanding that these people "get out of Japan".
As soon as this sentence came out, it immediately caused an uproar.
Japanese netizens expressed strong dissatisfaction with Chen Hua's remarks and questioned why he let the Japanese get out of his country. Some people even directly scolded back, "We are the authentic Japanese!"
At the same time, many netizens in China also joined the controversy, some questioned whether the netizen had another purpose, and some bluntly criticized him for being "unreasonable".
Faced with such a turmoil, Chen Hua had to come forward to explain his thoughts. He said that the reason why he made such remarks was entirely because the hustle and bustle of this group of Japanese people disturbed his rest plan.
"I just wanted to come here to do some shopping and relax, but I was annoyed by the crowd of people who kept arguing." Chen Hua said.
However, his explanation was not agreed with by Japanese netizens. They still insist that Chen Hua's remarks are an insult to the Japanese and a provocation to Japan's sovereignty.
The question of who exactly is "authentic Japanese" seems to be confusing and difficult to define.
Behind this dispute over "real holidays in person" is actually a deeper problem - the issue of rights and order in public places.
As a Chinese living in Japan, Chen Hua certainly has the right to live and consume in the country of Japan. But at the same time, as Japanese people, they also have the freedom to express their demands. The balance between the two is probably not an easy task.
In addition, the controversy has also raised concerns about consumer protection. As an ordinary consumer, should Chen Hua have more channels to protect his rights when he encounters such a troublesome situation? Or, should businesses and management create a quieter and cleaner environment for consumers?
These issues undoubtedly deserve more in-depth discussion and reflection from all walks of life.
At this time, a sudden news once again aroused people's attention.
On the eve of the Oscars, a crowd reportedly poured into Hollywood in solidarity with Gaza to protest Israel's military action against Palestine. The actions of these people have aroused the dissatisfaction of celebrities, so that many celebrities' convoys have to be stranded at the scene.
This incident is undoubtedly inextricably linked to the previous controversy over the "real holiday himself" on the streets of Shinjuku.
After all, this Palestinian-Israeli conflict has become a hot topic of global concern. People from all over the world have expressed their calls for peace and hope that the conflict can be resolved as soon as possible. And the behavior of the Japanese people stems from this demand.
However, while these Japanese shouted the slogan "Support Gaza", Chen Hua showed a diametrically opposite attitude. Not only was he dissatisfied with the behavior of these Japanese, but he even demanded that they "get out of Japan."
This has undoubtedly triggered a strong reflection on why an ordinary Chinese person would show so much hostility to the behavior of his own compatriots? What is the underlying reason behind this?
Perhaps, this is not just a simple conflict of power. On the contrary, it may reflect a more complex social problem.
In recent years, with the continuous development of China's economy, the overseas Chinese community has become more and more large. Not only can they settle down overseas, but they are also living better and better. At the same time, some Chinese people have also begun to try to find a place in the local society, seeking to integrate into the local culture and become a part of the local community.
However, this is not an easy task. In many cases, they often face exclusion and discrimination from the local population. In this situation, they have to find a delicate balance between their identity and lifestyle.
For Chen Hua, he seems to be the epitome of this ambivalence. As a Chinese living in Japan, he wanted to integrate into Japanese society and become a member of the Japanese people, but he had to face rejection from the Japanese. This contradiction of identity will inevitably cause anxiety and uneasiness in his heart.
In such a situation, he chose a way of "resistance", wanting to let these Japanese "get out" of their own country, which is undoubtedly a kind of identity for themselves. But as we've seen, this approach has not been widely supported, and has instead sparked greater controversy.
The reason why this is so may be related to Chen Hua's inner contradictions. As a Chinese living in Japan, he has a deep desire to be accepted by the Japanese and become a part of Japanese society. But in reality, he had to face rejection and discrimination from the Japanese. This contradiction of identity will inevitably make him feel anxious and uneasy.
Driven by this sentiment, he tried to strengthen his sense of identity by denying his Japanese identity by speaking out publicly. However, such an approach is undoubtedly an extreme and extreme performance, and not only did not win the acceptance of the Japanese, but instead caused greater controversy.
This controversy over "real holiday itself" reflects not only a simple issue of public order, but also a microcosm of an identity crisis. With the deepening of globalization, more and more individuals from foreign backgrounds are seeking to integrate into local society, but this is not an easy task. In the process, they often need to face rejection and discrimination from local people, and then fall into a kind of identity dilemma.
For Chen Hua, his "get out of Japan" remarks are undoubtedly an attempt to release this predicament. But is this the right thing to do? Or can we see a way out of it that is more inclusive and understanding?
Before delving into this issue, let us first review the circumstances of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Since 2021, the conflict between Palestinians and Israelis has escalated, resulting in mass casualties in Gaza. As a hot topic of global concern, this conflict has aroused widespread concern and appeals from people around the world.
It is against this backdrop that the Japanese people's solidarity is motivated. In their own way, they hope to express their call for peace, hoping that this long conflict can be resolved as soon as possible and that the people of Gaza will be able to return to peace.
However, in the process, Chen Hua chose a diametrically opposite attitude. Not only was he dissatisfied with the behavior of these Japanese, but he even demanded that they "get out of Japan." This behavior has undoubtedly triggered a strong reflection on the part of the people.
What is it that makes an ordinary Chinese person so hostile to the actions of his own countrymen? Is it just because these actions are disrupting his shopping plans?
Clearly, there is a deeper reason behind this. Some commentators believe that Chen Hua's behavior may stem from his inner anxiety and anxiety about identity. As a Chinese living in Japan, on the one hand, he hopes to integrate into Japanese society and become a member of the Japanese people, but on the other hand, he has to face rejection and discrimination from the Japanese. This ambivalent state of mind will inevitably trigger his anxiety and uneasiness, which in turn will lead to this extreme performance.
In this context, it is natural to ask ourselves how we can better help these individuals living in a foreign country so that they can better integrate into the local society and eliminate identity anxiety?
Undoubtedly, this requires the joint efforts of all sectors of society. On the one hand, we need to build a more inclusive and understanding social environment, so that these individuals from foreign backgrounds can feel accepted and respected. On the other hand, we also need to provide them with more channels of communication and integration, so that they can better understand and recognize the local cultural traditions, so as to achieve "integration" in the true sense.
Only in this way can we provide a more tolerant and understanding social environment for these individuals living in a foreign country, so that they can truly get rid of identity anxiety and become part of the local society.
At the same time, we also need to reflect on the deeper issues behind this controversy. As mentioned earlier, this is not just a simple power conflict, but a microcosm of an identity crisis. In this era of rapid change, the tide of globalization is constantly sweeping, and more and more individuals are beginning to try to integrate into the society of a foreign country.
But this is not an easy task. In the process, they had to face rejection and discrimination from the locals, and then fell into a kind of identity contradiction. This situation will undoubtedly trigger anxiety and uneasiness in their hearts, which in turn will lead to some extreme performance, such as the "real holiday itself" controversy that we have seen.
Therefore, we need to think more deeply about this issue and explore a more inclusive and understanding social model, so that these individuals from foreign backgrounds can truly integrate into the local society and eliminate identity anxiety. Only in this way can we avoid the recurrence of similar contradictions and conflicts and maintain social harmony and stability.
Although we can't give a standard answer to this controversy, we may start from Chen Hua's inner contradictions to better understand and sympathize with these individuals living in a foreign country. Only when we pay more attention to their situation with a more inclusive and understanding perspective can we truly help them get out of the dilemma of identity and truly become a part of the local society.
Let's work together to create a more tolerant and inclusive environment for the world, where everyone can find their own identity and belonging.
