Jingjie Ong prieš 11 mėnesių If I might offer a cultural perspective. The experience of the Japanese occupation in China is still very much within living memory of many Chinese families. Our grandparents lived the occupation and atrocities, our parents lived the social and economic fall out it caused, and we (the Millenials and later) are only now living in much relative comfort from any of the effects of war (how lucky we truly are). This is why when asked to "move on", it is often confusing. The issue many Chinese face with Japan is not with its people (any one with some research in history would know the Japanese people were victims of the ww2 regime), it is also morally incorrect to demand the Japanese today to repent for what the transgressions of their ancestors. The issue is that the same Japanese leadership that green-lighted the atrocities in the 20th century, is very much the same government in power in Japan today, at least at a lineage level, and cultural underpinning level.

In the next 8 years in Beijing, he witnessed countless civilians were brutally murdered by the Japanese military, a crime even until today the Japanese do not admit.
