I'm in a dilemma

I am very conflicted.

After watching the animation with a very blocked mood, except for Setsuko, who was full of Kansai dialect at the end, when she closed her eyes, she was not moved. A film that should have moved me to tears, but in the end did not make me shed half a tear, but instead made me hate Setsuko's motherland even more - Japan. Because of a tragic story in front of me, it reminded me of The number and tragic level are ten times and one hundred times more than the history of blood and tears of the Chinese nation. The annoying education I received since childhood finally showed her light. As a Chinese, rationally, I can be generous I accept the point of view that "the initiator of that war was fascism and militarism, and it has nothing to do with ordinary people", but emotionally I can't restrain myself from blaming Japan for the original sin of that war. But
why was it moved in the end? It's very simple, my wife is Japanese, and she is older than Kobe. Innocent children have suffered from the war, and finally can't escape the cruel reality, which makes my heart tremble. And the most terrible thing is the mouth full of Kobe accent, which makes me It seems that I regard Setsuko as my little daughter who is about to be born, and I feel the suffering. Even if the deep-rooted thoughts contradict me to sympathize with Japan, I still have to admit that my eyes are red and my nose is sore.
My special life experience makes my heart deep. fall into conflict. Emotionally I can't break free, but as a rational person at least I can make what I think is right. My children will neither grow up in China nor in Japan in the future. The two countries have a deep grievance, and more importantly, the grievance time is too close. Now the more the Chinese hate the Japanese, the more the Japanese disdain the Chinese. Generally speaking, it is an indisputable fact. I don’t want me In the future, her child will have the idea of ​​calling her grandfather a "devil" (I respect my father-in-law, but I can't erase this word from any Japanese in my mind), and I don't want him to see her grandfather in China. The act of frowning after popping a cigarette butt on the street. Give the child a free space, and when he initially has his own worldview, I will tell them some history that their mother can't tell them, and they will follow them. The mothers looked at the "Fire Drops るの絲" together to learn about their mother's motherland. I think, my children will cry with their mothers, together with their father's share.

Another: strongly agree/disagree with the above some speeches.
Because there are more victims in China than in Japan, you cannot sympathize with the comrade of the protagonist in the story. Your ideas are very inhuman or bureaucratic. The former is because your view of people is purely political, and the person who is politically hostile to you is not People, in fact, you are the development target of a new generation of Hitler's lackeys, but the Jews have been replaced by Japanese. In the latter case, because your arguments are very similar to those of some bureaucrats today, it seems that you sympathized with you for the Wenchuan earthquake, you were shocked by the large coal mine disaster, and you paid attention to it, while small earthquakes, small coal kilns collapsed, casualties If there are not many, it is not worth mentioning.

Comrades who regard the whole of Japan as one person and create the so-called cause and effect theory, Buddhism? Admire it! However, the Buddha also said: "What you don't want is wrong for others". Think about yourself Anger at Sharon Stone's causal theory. I scold you on behalf of my wife, and I scold myself: bastard!

China's current system is more likely than Japan's to slip into that terrible abyss, my dear friend, who sees the same thing!

Finally, based on my personal experience, I can tell you responsibly that Japan will never be able to, and will not make an apology that the Chinese agree with. Asking for an apology can only be regarded as an unfulfilled political slogan. As for me personally In other words, no matter what kind of apology the Japanese side makes, or even self-immolation to thank the world, I can't forgive the crimes this country has committed on the land of China.

I have a Japanese wife, and I don't mind driving a Japanese car or using a Japanese car. Electrical appliances, pro-Japanese?
In fact, I am also very extreme, but the more rational one.
