The cherry blossoms in Wudan University, planted to comfort Japanese soldiers, to inspire their morale, in the hope that it will continue to aggression and efforts. Therefore, the cherry blossoms here cannot be the object of the nation's pursuit and "admiration". It is sad that the love of the enemy is our love. Cherry blossoms are also the spirit of Bushido, and the three most symbolic things of the spirit of Bushido are the cherry blossom, the katana, and harakiri.
