I am not a Big Fan of Hate... The debate seems to be hot between ben, rick, ILH and MyNameIsNobody. I do not want to spend to much time on this subject. So, please find the followings, it is a post of a guy that do not like (Chinabounder) but who do not say only stupid things... he made a quite good summary about the lake of knowledge of most of Chinese people who are only taught to hate Japaneses and not taught what happen. Chinabounder: “It was 60 years ago. Why are you still angry?” Student: “They have not apologized for the war.” Chinabounder: “They have. Numerous times, for example Prime Minister Tomiichi Murayama in 1995, or PM Ryutaro Hashimoto in 1997, or Junichiro Koizumi in 2005.” Student: “Oh… are you sure? I never heard that. Well.. anyway… they do not teach the truth in their history books.” Chinabounder: “The history book to which you agree is indeed offensive.” (Smile of righteous victory begins to play across student’s face; student’s shoulders begin to tense back in patriotic fervor) Chinabounder: “But it is taught in less than one percent of schools.” Student: “Oh… are you sure? I never heard that.” Chinabounder: “I am. Let me ask you a question. Do you think educators or the government should choose the syllabus in your university?” Student: “Educators. The government does not know what it best, and I wish at my university the teachers could decide what to teach.” Chinabounder: “Well, in Japan, educators decide what to teach, not the government. The content of the books is not a direct government choice. ” Student: : “Oh… are you sure? I never heard that.” Chinabounder: “When that book was published, there were large demonstrations against it. 30,000 people marched in the streets to protest it.” Student: “Oh… are you sure? I never heard that.” Me: “What do you think would happen if people tried a public demonstration like that here?” Student giggles. [...] Have a good week end ! |
