This period of time by the summer festival news screen, the event will cause public anger, because it hurts our national sentiment.
Every country and region has its own national characteristics, and China has always been a very tolerant country, so for the national characteristics of each country, we have a respectful attitude. But respect doesn't mean acceptance. For example, if a Japanese summer festival were to be held in Japan, we would certainly not have anything to say about it.
But this event was held in various cities in China, especially Nanjing, and the date was chosen. The organizers of this event were initially ill-intentioned and were challenging national sentiment. The summer festival doesn't just let you experience the Japanese customs, but most importantly they have a ceremony.
That ceremony was a program performed by the Japanese during the Nanjing Massacre back in the day, where there were 300,000 dead in Nanjing, and to hold a summer festival under such circumstances is simply an insult to the ancestors. This is not only a cultural aggression, but also an insult to our forefathers who threw away their heads and spilled their blood.
After World War II, there was a blood feud between China and Japan. Although we can get along with each other peacefully, it doesn't mean we should forget history. Give Japan, a country that has never admitted its former sins, and even tried to rob us of some of our resources. I recognize the saying on the internet that forgetting history is tantamount to betrayal.
Those who organize summer festivals in various places, those who bring summer festivals to China, are the traitors' lackeys in the first place. How are we going to educate our children in the future if we allow such events to be organized in various places? Are we going to tell her that the Japanese dance she is happily learning is a ritual that the Japanese used to do before they slaughtered us?
Those who make light of the fact that this is just a secondary gathering are being criticized by everyone because they are avoiding the issue in their assessment of the matter, and not getting to the source at all. People's emotions are not allowed to be trampled on, and Chinese sentiments are not allowed to be ignored.
The former invaders, and later the losers, have no right whatsoever to hold their festivals on our soil. Besides, when people found out about the event of organizing a summer festival, they realized that it was being held all over the country, and it was a chilling thought. It turned out that without realizing it, they had already done so much preparation.
Every step from Japanese schools to summer festivals in Japan did not come out of nowhere. Though the common people couldn't see the intrigue, everyone knew that this thing was definitely not simple. A few days ago it was also revealed that there are actually Chinese temples enshrining Japanese war criminals in the news, this thing is simply unbelievable, so people are particularly difficult to accept.
If we accept Japan's summer festival in silence, does it mean that we have to accept their various provocations in silence in the future as well. That's why the summer festival has provoked so much anger, and that's why people are so opposed to it. It is a guardianship of our national dignity and an example for our next generation.
