However, we must understand that a kimono is not something you can wear if you want to.
Let's first take a look at the latest Public Security Administration Punishment Law. There are regulations inside. It is illegal to deliberately wear clothing that hurts national feelings or to behave abnormally in a public place.
What happened
On April 27, night had just fallen, and the streets and alleys of Chongqing gradually lit up with warm lights. Cruise ships sail slowly in the night, either in groups of three or two, or alone, cutting through the calm river, leaving gentle ripples. After dinner, Chongqing citizens also walked out of their homes and took a leisurely walk along the riverside, enjoying the tranquility and comfort of the night.
However, in this picture of calm and peaceful life, there was an unexpected extremely discordant episode. Two young girls in Japanese kimonos and wooden shoes are accompanied by a young man dressed in a "Japanese" style. The three of them openly danced Japanese dances on the street, and even took videos and uploaded them online. This sudden scene was out of step with the surrounding environment, breaking the original peace.
In the video, two young women in pink kimonos stand by a brightly lit river. They dance to Japanese music and seem to be completely immersed in their own world. Not only did they dance enthusiastically, but they also held their phones and smiled at the camera. They were apparently filming a video, perhaps live streaming it on the internet for viewers.
However, as the night deepens, more and more citizens are attracted by the hustle and bustle of the place. They looked at each other and whispered, but most of them shook their heads away with confusion and disapproval on their faces.
Finally, someone in the audience couldn't help it. They stood up, with obvious displeasure and anger in their voices:
"What are you doing? It's ridiculous! Do quiet days make you forget who you are? Aren't you embarrassed to dance dressed like this? ”
After a while, the two dancing women finally stopped, but the farce was not over. One of the women seemed completely immune to the comments and accusations around her. She casually took out her phone and started talking on the phone, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her.
The crowd of onlookers erupted in dissatisfaction, but the woman looked as if nothing had happened, and that indifferent look was really infuriating. She clearly didn't take the feelings of the people to heart.
An aunt couldn't stand it and angrily demanded that someone nearby film the scene. She wants everyone to see: "In Chongqing, a land that has experienced the baptism of war, how can you still be so content with the status quo? "Don't you blush when you dance a Japanese dance?"
A man in black next to him couldn't hold back any longer. There was a hint of sternness in his voice: "If it had been before, you would have ...... like this" He didn't finish his words, but everyone understood what he meant. Meaning:
At night, another man appeared with a white turban on his head, just like in a Japanese movie. Anyone who saw this outfit knew that they must be in the same group.
As soon as this man joined, the atmosphere was like adding fuel to the fire. The uncles and aunts next to me, what troubles have they not seen in their generation? They began to argue, their voices full of vicissitudes and determination.
There was an old man with a loud voice and bluntly said: "Look at the strip of white cloth on his head, isn't it tied by the Japanese?" What are they doing here? ”
After listening to the uncle's words, the man in the white turban not only did not hold back, but became even more excited. He shouted: "I am Chinese!" As soon as these words came out, the uncles and aunts retorted on the spot: "Do you say that you are Chinese?" Are you disgraced the Chinese? ”
Although a woman in a kimono next to her stepped forward to stop the fight, her voice was quickly drowned out by the angry voices of everyone.
Finally, an old man couldn't stand it anymore. He was so angry that his hands were trembling, but he still stepped forward firmly and pushed the man in red away. This thrust is so great that it represents a strong dissatisfaction and indignation at this kind of behavior.
Soon, the siren sounded, and several police officers quickly arrived at the scene, questioned the three people in kimonos, and finally took them away from the scene.
This incident quickly caused an uproar on the Internet, and public opinion attention and discussion were in full swing. The local police also showed high efficiency and responded immediately after the incident came to light. They confirmed that the incident occurred in Chongqing and made it clear that the matter had been dealt with in a timely and proper manner.
The suspected identities of the two women were exposed
So, why on earth did these two girls take this risk?
Now it seems that someone knows the inside story!
Some netizens directly pointed out:
It turned out that these people were doing live broadcasts. They danced in kimonos because a big brother in the live broadcast room came up with such an idea. The eldest brother broke his promise the night before, saying that if they dared to dance in public in a kimono the next day, he would give them a gift of 50,000 yuan. He may have thought they wouldn't dare to do it, but in the end, the girls really forced themselves to do it.
As for why the top big brother on the list came up with such a bad idea, we don't know. This matter is now in an uproar, and I don't know if even the 'big brother on the list' will be involved.
The actions of two women and one man are suspected of violating the law
Wearing Japanese clothes and making pro-Japanese remarks during the live broadcast is undoubtedly hurtful to national feelings and disrespectful to the martyrs. This is not only a matter of personal morality, but also a challenge to the law. Such an act is tantamount to a traitor and a desecration of national dignity.
At this critical juncture, the revised draft of the Law of the People's Republic of China on Public Security Administration Penalties came into being. The promulgation of Article 34 is "tailor-made" for this kind of behavior.
Dress freely, but national feelings must not be hurt
These young people today may not really remember the suffering of their ancestors. If it weren't for the hard work of their ancestors, how could they have the opportunity to dance freely now?
Some people may say that a kimono is just a piece of clothing. What's the big deal about dancing in it? That being said, it also depends on when and where you get dressed. If you want to perform in a kimono, you have to find the right occasion, such as a manga exhibition, or entertain yourself at home. Then you can wear whatever you want, and no one will judge you.
The memory of history is heavy. It is not only the words in the books, but also the collective memory of our nation.
The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is a memory engraved in the marrow of our nation, and it is a common hardship that we have endured. The sacrifice of 35 million compatriots. Behind this number is the shattering of countless families. It's not just numbers in the history books. This is an eternal pain in the hearts of every Chinese, and it is also our common scar.
The Chongqing explosion is a history full of blood and tears. The six years of fury of the Japanese bombers took the lives of countless innocent people, destroyed countless families, and brought great disasters to the people of Chongqing. This history is an eternal pain in the hearts of the people of Chongqing.
We must not forget history, still less can we ignore the suffering of the nation. In the face of major issues of right and wrong, each of us should express our respect for history and heroes with our actions. I love Japanese animation and Japanese culture. It's a personal preference that we can understand and respect. But in public places, especially those that carry painful historical memories, we should consider the feelings of others and avoid behaviors that may cause misunderstanding and discomfort.
