Japan is today the richest economic power in Asia and the third largest economic entity in the world.It is a key link that cannot be avoided in China's foreign relations and trade.However, the Yamato nation, who is also of the yellow race like us, still makes us feel strange, alienated and confused until today.It is even more difficult for us to understand the Japanese than to understand the Europeans and Americans. On the surface, the Sino-Japanese war is a battle of armies, weapons, governments, and national strength, but at its root it is a war of culture, education, spirit, and soul.Therefore, it is doomed to be a protracted war.Backward China defends its own survival with an attitude of perseverance; on the contrary, Japan, which claims to be the "pioneer of East Asian civilization", is deeply rooted in barbarism and cruelty under its bright modern appearance.

The Japanese look at history with a peculiarly egocentric perspective.Exaggerate the good side infinitely, and minimize the bad side as much as possible.They insist on using a microscope to look at other people's shortcomings, but stubbornly close their eyes in front of their own mistakes. A true patriot should be a patriot in practice, not in words.Shout a few patriotic and anti-Japanese slogans It is easy, but it is difficult to despise the enemy with conscientious achievements in one's own post.From the 1940s until today, we have to face the fact that if we cannot surpass Japan in cultural construction, education popularization and scientific invention, then we will never be able to eliminate the Japanese militarists' "snake swallowing elephant" spirit. ambition.If we cannot face all the achievements of modern human civilization with an open mind and "use" them for our own use, then we can only perish due to the failure of the other three ancient civilizations.
