Chapter 31 why don't i buy japanese products

At the beginning of this century, Mr. Lu Xun specialized in medicine in Japan. He happened to see a documentary film reporting on the Russo-Japanese War, in which Japanese soldiers killed Chinese people. The onlookers were all Chinese. arts.In his mind at the time, it seemed that literature was the way to enrich the country and strengthen the people.This anecdote is well known in the cultural world and need not be rapped. Recently, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the victory of anti-fascism, many scenes of Japanese soldiers killing Chinese people have been seen in movies and TV shows, and they are all real records at that time. Yes, and there are even more "Great Japanese Imperial Army", the "heavy battle results" left by himself. I don't know what Mr. Lu Xun saw on the screen at that time, but it can be concluded that Japanese soldiers killed China in the Russo-Japanese War. Human heads are nothing compared to what Japanese soldiers did after the death of Mr. Lu Xun. By the 1930s, Japan had entered the era of mechanization, and Japanese soldiers no longer killed Chinese one by one but in batches The method of killing Chinese people has been greatly improved. Machine guns, cannons, gas bombs, and the famous Japanese sabers are used to manually dispose of Chinese heads. The whole set of electric cooking utensils is not used, but it is necessary to use the rules of the "tea ceremony" to drink lightly and slowly. It is fun to operate by hand; mechanical work is actually the most boring and boring, and manual work can show your personal style. , and only in this way can competition be launched. The mechanized mass production of Chinese heads cannot be counted as human ability.

It is not enough for Japanese soldiers to kill Chinese people for fun. They seem to be more happy to rape Chinese women first and then kill them. That's why we can see many Chinese women's autopsy photos today.Mr. Lu Xun has never had the chance to see such precious photos and documentaries. I don’t know how he will feel if he sees them, and will he give up literature and change his career to do something else?And if the old man sees him, how will he feel, will he give up literature and change his career to do something else?As for the mood of our generation after watching it, it is inconvenient for me to speak without investigating.As far as I am concerned, it is really "cutting and judging and still messing up". After watching it, I feel like knocking over a five-flavored bottle.

Of course, I'm not so ignorant that I hate the Japanese after seeing these photos. From then on, I have revenge and vowed to go to Japan to kill some Japanese.First, these are all things that the Japanese militarists did more than 50 years ago and have nothing to do with the Japanese people now; second, today, commemorating the 50th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Fascist War, republishing these historical materials is precisely to let the world and the whole world Human beings all keep in mind the lessons of blood to prevent history from repeating itself in the future. It is by no means intended to incite hatred and will not incite hatred.The above two points are already common sense, and those who are mere mere people still understand it. Moreover, war criminals have been punished in Tokyo courts. Time has passed, and today's Sino-Japanese relations have also normalized.

But now, the Chinese have magnanimously forgiven the brutality of the Japanese army in China, but many Japanese, especially those in power (many of whom are descendants of Japanese soldiers) do not recognize what their predecessors did; It is difficult for me to be at peace when future generations pay back the debts owed by the previous generation, but the future generations do not appreciate it and have to rely on the debt at all. According to reports, most of the generation of Japanese who were educated in modern Japan had the following understanding of the Sino-Japanese War 50 years ago: "First, there was a war between China and Japan; second, we were defeated; third, We paid compensation." We cannot blame this generation of Japanese for their ignorance, because they have received this kind of education.If our teachers educate us according to this textbook: "The Japanese have invaded China more than once, and Japan can become a modern country thanks to the war reparations from the Treaty of Shimonoseki. They made a fortune from us and then attacked us, so Japan was our enemy in the past, it is our enemy now, and it will be our enemy in the future.” It is no wonder that all Chinese people are not gearing up, and Sino-Japanese friendship will be out of the question. The two great powers will continue to be hostile, and the world will There will never be peace.It was also reported that 50 years after Japan's defeat in the war, finally a head of the government came forward to publicly admit on behalf of the Japanese government that Japan's "in and out" of Asia in the past and launching the Pacific War were "colonial rule" and a naked "aggression" against Asia. ", and vowed that "Japan will not repeat these mistakes."However, on the same day that the prime minister "reflected and apologized", half of the cabinet members under the prime minister's leadership, that is, ten cabinet ministers, went to the "Yasukuni Shrine" where the war criminal Hideo Tojo, who was hanged by the International Court of Justice, was placed. The number and scale of the so-called "heroic spirits" who "sacrificed their lives for the country" greatly exceeded those of previous years.The Japanese government probably forgot that the Japanese and the Chinese are both Orientals and have roughly the same psychological and cultural background. The medicine in this gourd can only deceive "foreigners".

I was born in Nanjing in December 1936. It can be said that I learned the tricks of the Japanese as soon as I was born.My grandfather was a diplomat of the Kuomintang government, and his residence was very large. It was just behind the "Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the National Government" at that time - Shizi Bridge on Hubei Road. My grandfather named it "Meixi Villa", which is a well-known garden in the local area. .The "Xi'an Incident" happened on the fourth day after I was born. The KMT and the Communist Party began to cooperate in the resistance against Japan, and the Japanese army stepped up its pace of aggression. In November 1937, the "Imperial Japanese Army" approached the city of Nanjing. Our whole family became "refugees" and fled to Sichuan.Thinking about it today, the tragedy must be worse than that of the refugees in the "War in Bosnia and Herzegovina" (the refugees in the "War in Bosnia and Herzegovina" also had international relief).My mother later recalled that on a snowy night on the way from Nanjing to my ancestral home in Anhui, I cried and made noises on the back of her old man. When I escaped to a safe place to rest, I found that my shoes and socks had all fallen off. The bare little feet froze all the way in the severe cold.Since then, I have a habit different from others, that is, I always wear socks to sleep, and this must be the case in summer, because my feet have to be tightly wrapped to keep warm.I can't say that this problem is definitely caused by the Japanese. There may be other reasons, but why did the Japanese force me to flee?If I hadn't fled, I would probably be one of the 300,000 martyrs enjoying the sacrifice today.When I can't find any other reason, when my feet are too cold to sleep every night, who do I not want the Japanese to think about?

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, I returned to my old house in Nanjing with my family. I have grown from a baby to a teenager.During this process, of course it was impossible for me to go to the front line, and even in Chongqing, it can be said that Japanese bombs and incendiary bombs accompanied me when I grew up: I had to "run the alarm" almost every day and I also witnessed the "big tunnel tragedy" ".I think this should also be thanks to Japanese militarism, which has cultivated countless Chinese people into a strong and fearless character.I have no impression of the old house, but according to the elders, the garden has changed beyond recognition.I liked to play when I was young. The garden of the old house is much bigger than the "Baicao Garden" described by Mr. Lu Xun, which is enough for me to run freely, but what I see is desolate and dilapidated.It is called "Meixi Villa", but in fact there are no plums and no streams. The rockery is dilapidated and weeds are overgrown. All the doors in the house are replaced with Japanese-style paper sliding doors, and the floor is covered with "tatami mats". ".A neighbor told the elders that my family was once used as the "gendarme headquarters" by the Japanese army. Whether this is true or not is doubtful.But once I went to a basement, and I did see bloodstains on the wall. There were a few inexplicable long benches in the gloomy basement, and iron chains hanging from the roof. I felt a little scary , I never went there to play again.I didn't know until I was older that this is the so-called "tiger stool". I should also thank the Japanese for my knowledge. There is also a big house in the courtyard of the KK old house, which is said to be the original warehouse of the Japanese.When I went to play, there were still piles and piles of white sugar stored in it. The bags were piled up in disorder, and they had deteriorated and were as hard as rocks.Neighbors who stayed in Nanjing told me that the Japanese love sweets, and sugar is also added to boiled chicken (?). They searched for sugar everywhere, so there is still so much sugar in the warehouse that they cannot take away.When I grow up, I know that eating sweets is not a unique habit of the Japanese. The neighbors are just teasing me.However, although I never met a single Japanese when I was young, I had the following impressions of the Japanese: first, they are related to blood and terror; second, they love sweets.Somehow, this impression is deeply ingrained in my mind.Today I certainly cannot say that my impression of the Japanese is limited to that.But after careful consideration, this impression seems to be somewhat symbolic: blood and sugar!

Later, as we all know, in China, it seems that "class contradictions" have risen, not only sharp but also intense, so we have to talk about it every year, every month, and every day; two-thirds of the working people.I think that although this historical stage is absurd, ordinary Chinese people have also received a broad and profound education on the integration of people from all over the world. Heterogeneity, even internationalism with an ultra-left color, has greatly eliminated the blind xenophobia that Chinese people have always harbored; if we look at the problem historically, we should admit that this change in concept has laid the foundation for today's opening up and normal relations with other countries in the world. basis of communication. KK Of course I no longer simply associate the Japanese with blood and sugar, let alone a little bit of hostility.After I was rehabilitated, as my novel was translated into Japanese, I also made some Japanese friends.I have traveled to many countries in the past ten years. Although I have not made much progress, at least this common sense is still there: in any country or ethnic group, there are good and bad people, and the good people always make up the majority.Now, whether it is Westerners, Orientals or Chinese, as an individual, I treat them with a normal heart. "Ordinary mind" is a Buddhist term, and it is also the best expression of the concept of integration of people all over the world.

The first person to translate my work was Toshikei Nozawa, a young scholar at Hokkaido University.He traveled all the way to remote Ningxia by himself just to have an interview with me and to understand some of the problems in the interview. In fact, these problems can also be solved in the correspondence.I was moved by his professionalism. When he suggested that the publishing house that published the Japanese version was a small company that could not pay more royalties, I immediately expressed my willingness to give up the royalties and help him publish the first translation smoothly.The translated version came out soon, and although I was not paid royalties, two large boxes of well-bound sample books were sent by mail, and a sincere thank you letter was attached.

Naturally, I spend a lot of time dealing with Chinese people. The so-called life experience is a process of constantly interacting with people.Some of the Chinese people I met were ridiculous, and some of the foreigners I met were inevitable.The story that follows is not so pleasant.There is a big publisher in Tokyo named "Futami Shobo", which successively translated and published my two books, One by One and "Good Morning Friend" (Japanese translation is ). Royalty gone.The Chinese have always had the saying "don't steam the steamed buns to win the reputation", so when I was interviewed by Tomoyuki Takada, the director of the Shanghai Branch of Kyodo News, I asked him to comment. He was very upset by me and wrote a report in a Japanese newspaper. "Erjian Study Room" couldn't stand it anymore, and finally sent me a letter through Mr. Takada, to the effect that at that time, considering Mr. Zhang's inconvenience (referring to being criticized), we translated and published it by ourselves. Now we express our deep "apology" .The word "royalty" can't be found in the whole letter, which has a sense of humor.I replied, and your letter reminded me of a fable: A peddler surnamed Zhang was selling wine in the market, and people accused him of selling fake wine, so he was dragged to the police station, while another peddler took the opportunity to drag the wine to other places. sold in the market.When the peddler surnamed Zhang came out to find out the right and wrong, he asked the peddler for the money for the drink, but the peddler said, "Your old man was at the police station at that time and tried to contact you. Now I express my deep apology. There is no money for the drink!"Finally, I told them unceremoniously: "Take back your apology and pay your cash!"

This matter will be over.There are ruffians everywhere in the world, "the whole world is hot and cold", what can be done?Until 1993, a delegation of Ningxia calligraphers visited Tokyo.Chai Jianfang also saw my works displayed in the supermarket.He bought a copy back, priced at 1,300 yen.It is said that when this book was released, major Japanese newspapers published large advertisements, saying that it was "from modern China" (it had not yet been published at that time).He flattered me a lot, and I didn't appreciate it. After passing the ruffian, he meets a gentleman again, so how can he not treat everyone with a "normal heart"?There is a literary association in Japan that translated and published my "Love Story in Dungeon", the translator Hiroaki Omochi.With the experience of "second meeting", I never expected to ask for money, but they asked someone to bring the royalties to Beijing. Although it was not much, I was overjoyed.The Chinese seem to have always had a traditional mentality of "replacing people's hearts with people's hearts".Now you give someone a warm face, but they give you a cold ass, I can't figure it out.

Actually I like Japanese just as much as I do Americans, British, French, Southeast Asians, Russians, Jews, blacks...whites, etc.When traveling in various countries, it is common for Japanese people, men, women, old and young, to line up in neat formations and visit under the command of a small flag and whistle.Although it is a bit ridiculous to parade in such a stiff manner on Xiangxilixi Avenue or in the Louvre, you cannot but admire the team spirit of the Japanese.I have secretly thought that such a nation is difficult to defeat, and in some respects it can serve as a good example for other nations to learn from.However, compared with the Germans, you will immediately be disappointed with them. Although the queues are difficult and orderly, and the tourist queues have traveled almost all over the world, they have not learned and seen anything around the world, and they are still narrow-minded. I have been fortunate enough to have been to Israel and visited the Yad Vashem.Leaving aside the shock that German fascists killed six million Jews in World War II, this is only one aspect. On the other hand, I can’t help but have a good impression of Germans, of course, Germans other than fascists .According to the official from the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs who accompanied us, the Germans paid the most money for the construction of the "memorial hall", and now the Germans are the most tourists.I saw with my own eyes many German tourists taking off their hats in front of the monument, and I also stood in front of the monument. I felt that I was not only paying tribute to the dead Jews, but also paying tribute to the Germans.The sixty-year-old Israeli diplomat, a survivor of the Second World War, has no sympathy for the Germans today, chats and laughs with German tourists, and often leaves us alone.If the Japanese are difficult to defeat, then the Germans will "win" if they don't "fight"! Berlin and Dresden suffered bombs, artillery shells and incendiary bombs in World War II, and the number of deaths caused by them was not much less than that of Nagasaki Hiroshima. However, the way of death of Nagasaki Hiroshima people is different after all. There is another layer to commemorate them today. Political significance However, if the Germans want to commemorate the bombing of Berlin and Dresden, it is not impossible for them to come up with a high-sounding reason based on their cleverness.We should understand and sympathize with the Japanese's special hatred of nuclear weapons, but excessive grievances are also offensive.Nuclear weapons are hated by people all over the world, and now it seems to have become a unique "complex" of the Japanese.Toyoko Yamazaki, a famous Japanese female writer and author of "Gorgeous Family", specially visited me in Ningxia in the mid-1980s. Ms. Yamazaki is knowledgeable, well-trained, and elegant in conversation, especially for me who is courteous and informal. Often at a loss.But when it came to the atomic bomb, I couldn't help but refute her a few words.Speaking of China's "Cultural Revolution", Ms. Yamazaki was also extremely distressed. She said that China's "Cultural Revolution" was like the atomic bomb that Japan suffered, and it was a catastrophe for the people.I said that China's "Cultural Revolution" was not the same as Japan's atomic bombing. The "Cultural Revolution" was the Chinese who punished themselves. In fact, the Chinese neither opposed the party nor any other country. The people were completely innocent. "Cultural Revolution" "It was an unwarranted disaster for the Chinese, but the Japanese were hit by the atomic bomb, but they had to think about what they did first on the territory of other countries, and why they dropped the atomic bomb on your head.This question is not clear, the Japanese will never progress! I would have been reluctant to touch such a sensitive topic as nuclear weapons.However, it was also reported that at the same time that the ruling Japanese Prime Minister was "reflecting and apologizing" for what Japan did in World War II, and at the same time that people all over the world were commemorating the 50th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Fascist War, the meeting of the Japanese ruling party was held. The excuse of China's nuclear test is to freeze aid to China.But when a weak person is facing a group of strong people around him, when the situation is not clear (such as standing in front of a person who refuses to admit his mistakes), holding a stick in his hand is better than bare hands.I have always been reluctant to talk about politics, and only write novels for fun.But today I can’t help discussing: Originally, it is the donor country’s right to decide who to aid and not to aid, and no one can force him to aid whom. It is the freedom of the donor country to stop aiding tomorrow if it is aided today, and others can’t do anything about it. , but when Japan decided to aid China, it already knew that China is a nuclear power, and China has conducted many nuclear tests. If it was really aimed at nuclear tests, what did you do, old man?Today, when people all over the world, including the Chinese people, are happily celebrating the 50th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, you come here at this time, no sooner or later. No wonder the Chinese think that the Japanese "did not care about nuclear tests." up. I sincerely hope that the Japanese command my respect as much as the Germans.I love Japan and I love Japanese people.There are many epigrams citing Japanese writers in my novels and articles. I am often fascinated by the exquisiteness of Japanese literature and art.I am soft-spoken and cannot help my beloved Japanese to wake up and stand abreast of the Germans.After much deliberation, I have to start with what I can, so I have decided: Before the Japanese government expresses real "reflection and apology" with practical actions, one, I personally and my family will never buy Japanese products. Fake and shoddy”, I prefer to buy Western goods. Fortunately, in the era when China is in line with the world economy, there is no situation where you have to buy Japanese goods; second, the Ningxia Federation of Literary and Art Circles, the Ningxia Writers Association and the ten affiliated art groups that I can still control, I have informed the office that all purchases of Japanese goods will not be reimbursed; third, the electronic advertising screen of the Ningxia Commercial Express Agency that I run refuses to accept advertisers for Japanese goods; There are 300,000 tourists visiting the Beibao Film Shooting Base every year. It is a must-see place for Chinese and foreign visitors to Ningxia. For Japanese tourists, a copy of this article is distributed free of charge. I have consulted with legal counsel, and I am not to blame for doing so, because according to the "Consumer Rights Act", any consumer has the freedom to choose goods.
