Change the soup but not the medicine

I finished reading the memoirs of a geisha who was scolded on the Internet today. I don’t like it very much. Why: watching Japanese movies can be said to reject Japanese culture from the bottom of my heart. Most of this rejection is based on history and elders. That's inherited.
But I'm not the kind of particularly radical anti-Japanese classmate who rejects everything in Japan like an angry youth. In contrast to Japanese movies, I like to watch Japanese cartoons. Teamwork and the idea of ​​facing difficulties and using challenges often appear in Japanese cartoons. Cartoons are a place to express dreams. You can have any dream. expressed in animation. Cartoons can best evoke my childhood dreams, blue sky, white clouds, people flying like birds from time to time, evil magicians, strange-shaped monsters, invincible heroes, and super-powerful saints. Things, all remind me of the carefree days when I was a child. Among Japanese cartoons, my favorite is Toshi Miyazaki, because my mother took me to the cinema for the first time to watch the cartoon "My Neighbor Totoro" for me. It left a long and deep impression on me and made me dream for many years. When it comes to this, my cat should thank me very much. I love it so much. Haha, I recently watched its new work "Howl's Moving Castle" again. Let me have an addiction.
Geishas are not prostitutes, we are not other people's wives, we sell our skills, not our bodies, we create another mysterious world, a beautiful world, a successful geisha is an artist, to judge a geisha is to judge An active artist. (Dialogue in the video)
This passage made me laugh and was moved by the language, she said it so noble that it almost changed my opinion that a geisha is a prostitute. What needs to be explained in advance is that modern geishas are indeed not prostitutes, they are strictly trained to perform geisha performances. But after reading it, I still feel like a prostitute who has learned talents. Why do I think so: I was cheated and sold into a brothel (a brothel or an art house) since I was a child. After college, if you are a little handsome, you will be forced to learn talent shows and the skills of meeting men, so as to distinguish yourself from cheap prostitutes. Seize a man's desire for virginity and earn more than N times more money than a prostitute. Then, when he chooses a rich and wealthy so-and-so to support him and becomes his regular sexual partner, the money, fame, and luxury life will also follow. It came. It is so strangely similar to the famous prostitutes in China, but modern people are accustomed to calling this behavioral relationship a Xiaomi or a third party, not a geisha, but if Japan calls it that, it is another matter. .
In my thinking, I am accustomed to calling this kind of survival occupation a prostitute (I do not despise prostitutes, the difference of fate is for the most primitive survival), I think it is the same in China and many other parts of the world It is believed that, as for Japan, this occupation is only more detailed, with the distinction between vulgar and noble, thus weakening people's views on geisha. If most people think that geisha is noble, then I will not stand up against it, everyone's tacit thinking, I don't need to stand up and be criticized by thousands of people. If the geisha is really what the dialogue says, I want to do one thing: to rehabilitate those women who have been vilified in China.
Miss is not a prostitute, we are not other people's wives, we are all forced by the world, we sell our skills, not our bodies, we create another mysterious world, (we reduce the incidence of sexual crimes, like the earth God nourishes the empty and lonely people, we promote the national economic growth, drive the rise of a number of industries, improve the living standards of the masses, and enhance the aesthetics of the masses.) We have created a beautiful world, A successful lady is an artist, and judging a successful lady is judging a moving piece of art, like the Mona Lisa.
The ancient Chinese famous courtesans Li Shishi, Sai Jinchan, Chen Yuanyuan, etc. have been wronged, and they can smile under the name of Jiuquan.
