It is hardly a pleasant experience when reading the post from one of my friends on Wechat, the Chinese version of Facebook. Seemly constructed from the same template as other anti-Japanese post, where some company is betting with some Japanese VIP on whether the post would reach 200 million Chinese in a short period of time, e.g. two weeks, the title is even more out of temper and abusive, "Japanese people are beasts. "
The friend was an English teacher of a college in China. She is kind-hearted and willing to help. A mother of 3 lovely girls, she is normal in all respects except being extraordinarily provokable by these so-called patriotic voices. I fully understand the hatred to Japanese out of the feud from the WWII. However, it is not really convincing to outlet it in such a ridiculous way.
Besides the fact that the posts are pure lies, cursing and swearing proves nothing but incompetence. Beasts or not, Japanese people have gained world-wide acknowledgment in many respects. Admitted or not, they have beaten us in many fields. Learning from history is positive but even revenge should be taken smartly, practically and decently.
