First of all, we must be clear that the famous "pro-Japanese artists" incident in the past still has an extremely profound educational and vigilant effect! In those years when the flames of war were raging and the country was ruined, the iron hooves of Japanese imperialism ruthlessly trampled on the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, bringing endless pain and suffering to hundreds of millions of Chinese people.
When we finally ushered in the dawn of peace, we should take history as a mirror, deeply reflect on this history full of blood and tears, strictly abide by patriotism, and resolutely abandon any ideas and concepts that worship foreign countries Many celebrities have aroused strong condemnation from the general public because of their public pro-Japanese views and behaviors, and their works have been forced offline, and their acting careers have suffered a heavy blow, and this result is undoubtedly the price they should bear!
Let's look back at that time, perhaps these artists were not fully aware of the far-reaching impact their words and actions would have on society as a whole. However, ignorance should not excuse their actions.
In this era of peace and prosperity, we should all the more bear in mind the teachings of our ancestors and unswervingly defend our national dignity.
As public figures, the influence of celebrities cannot be ignored, and their words and deeds will attract widespread attention. If we can't uphold even the most basic national dignity, how can we guide and inspire the masses with a positive image? Those pro-Japanese artist incidents that have occurred are all reminding us to distinguish between right and wrong, and never forget the inheritance and promotion of the national spirit.
Next, let's focus on a recent hot news story - the new little flower Wang Yue Yi has been slammed by netizens for making inappropriate remarks on social media. Some netizens exposed that she had made remarks praising Japan and belittling China, such as "Japan's air is sweet, it smells much better than Beijing's stinky air", "She will not have leisure in Beijing".
What is even more shocking is that some people questioned her understanding and knowledge of traditional Chinese culture, pointing out that she had said that Chinese architecture "has no traces of the ancient oriental civilization relying on the old and selling the old", and that China "can't help but be serious, in order to hide the inner weakness".
The little flower may have just been confused for a moment, not foreseeing such serious consequences for her remarks. However, ignorance does not excuse her actions, and now she can only choose to remain silent as a sign of repentance.
Finally, let's review the past period of time, many artists have been questioned because of their pro-Japanese words and deeds.
Dating back to the past, many celebrities and artists have been questioned and criticized by the world for their pro-Japanese remarks and behaviors. Let's turn our attention to 1995, when Xu Ruoxuan was full of ambition to land in Japan to expand her acting career, and in the following years, she frequently participated in various Japanese film and television masterpieces.
However, at the turn of the millennium in 2000, at a grand ceremony held in Tokyo, she cried and publicly declared that "Japan is as important to me as a good mother", and the scene instantly fell into a strange silence. What is even more outrageous is that at the 23rd Tokyo International Film Festival, she chose to give up the opportunity to walk the red carpet, and she was unwilling to put the word "China" in front of her national identity, and her attitude was full of challenges.
The words and deeds of another high-profile actress, Rainie Yang, have also attracted widespread attention. Since her debut, although she has always been loved by the audience, in a variety show, she showed shocking ignorance in the face of historical facts such as the Anti-Japanese War and the Nanjing Massacre.
When the host Wu Zongxian asked her how long the Anti-Japanese War lasted, she replied with a smile "It's only been 8 years" When she learned that 300,000 compatriots were killed in the Nanjing Massacre, she hid her mouth and laughed, and commented that "there are only 300,000, and the body is worrying, no wonder it will be called the sick man of East Asia."
Similarly, some of Zhang's choices have also caused a lot of controversy. She was the lead role in the Japanese film Memoirs of a Geisha, a vivid depiction of Japan's efforts to promote geisha culture to please the United States after World War II.
Many netizens have questioned whether Zhang Ziyi's original intention to take over this film was to enter the Japanese market? In addition, she has endorsed many Japanese cosmetics brands and participated in the shooting of Japanese fashion magazines, which shows her love for Japanese culture.
Finally, let's go back to a recent incident - the Zhao Wei film incident. As early as many years ago, Zhao Wei was criticized by all walks of life for a series of pro-Japanese behaviors. In 2001, when she participated in a TV show, she wore the Japanese flag, which aroused strong disgust and condemnation from the audience.
According to rumors, there were even angry people at that time who took extreme "dung" actions against her, which shows the huge pressure of public opinion at that time.
In the face of the pressure of public opinion like a landslide and tsunami, Zhao Wei felt deeply guilty and had to publicly bow her head to apologize to the fathers and villagers across the country for this gaffe. At that time, perhaps she was just impulsive, and did not have a deep understanding of the impact and pain that wearing the Japanese flag as a Chinese public figure might bring to the audience.
However, she could not use ignorance to excuse her actions! Thankfully, Zhao Wei showed the courage to face her mistakes at a critical moment and sincerely apologized to the public.
People originally expected Zhao Wei to learn a profound lesson from this incident, however, it is regrettable that it did not take long for her to offend the public again when she directed the movie "No Other Love".
In the cast of this film, there are Taiwanese independence activist Dai Liren and Japanese actress Kiko Mizuhara, who once praised the "insulting China" photo.
This kind of brazen act of employing Taiwan independence elements and pro-Japanese personages has undoubtedly aroused the strong indignation and resolute resistance of the vast number of netizens once again. After the official directly criticized her behavior, Zhao Wei did not reflect, but used "the media out of context" as an excuse to quibble, trying to evade responsibility, and her attitude was so arrogant and rude that it was really jaw-dropping.
This move undoubtedly hurt the emotions of the audience again, and at the same time cast a heavy shadow on her acting career. Soon after, the works she supervised were forced to stop broadcasting due to the pro-Japanese scandal of her artist Zhang Zhehan, and Zhao Wei also faded out of the entertainment industry with Zhang Zhehan.
Fifth, the pro-Japanese behavior of other artists has also aroused condemnation
In addition to Zhang Zhehan, the pro-Japanese behavior of other artists has also aroused strong condemnation from all walks of life. The famous magician Liu Qian once behaved extremely flattering when recording a show in Japan.
Not only did he claim to be an "avid fan of the Emperor", but he even bowed down to a Japanese actor in front of many Japanese audiences.
This situation made the Chinese audience at the scene angry. As a Chinese artist, how could Liu Qian be so presumptuous in a foreign country, and his worship of Japanese culture had reached such an absurd level? Such an act is undoubtedly trampling on the national dignity of the vast number of Chinese people.
Afterwards, Liu Qian had to defend his actions in front of the media. He claimed that he was just "following the customs of the locals" and that the "kneeling" was actually just a Japanese etiquette.
Regarding Liu Qian's clothing at that time, it was not a kimono as many people speculated, but it was actually a Tang costume in ancient China. However, despite Liu Qian's best efforts to explain, his fanatical star-chasing behavior, which is almost out of control, has constituted a blatant affront to the motherland and the nation in the eyes of the general public.
Thankfully, after a sincere apology, the situation gradually calmed down.
In contrast, the pro-Japanese behavior of another new-generation actor Zhang Zhehan is even more infuriating. , a post-90s rookie who became famous with the costume drama "Shanhe Ling", was revealed by netizens to have attended the well-known "Nogi Shrine" in Japan and cheered for his friend's wedding.
What's even worse is that some netizens have dug up ironclad evidence that Zhang Zhehan has visited the Yasukuni Shrine many times to enshrine Class A war criminals of World War II, and has taken intimate photos with some Japanese anti-China forces.
Through these incidents, we can clearly see that some people in the entertainment industry do have serious problems of indifference to national sentiment and vague political stance. As influential public figures, their words and deeds will surely attract widespread attention from all walks of life.
We live in an era of harmony and stability, and we should cherish this hard-won tranquility and always remember the historical lessons of the blood and tears of the martyrs. We will never tolerate any indulgence or indulgence of those who are openly pro-Japanese and unethical.
They must pay a corresponding price for their inappropriate words and actions, so as to serve as a warning and jointly defend national interests and national dignity.
