In Japan, a recent scandal involving AV actress Hongo Ai and married millionaire YouTuber Junichi Kato has sparked a heated debate. The two were caught watching a baseball game together, leading to rumors of an affair. Instead of denying the allegations or sending a lawyer’s letter, they each released an apology video and admitted to the incident.
Junichi Kato even revealed that he had another adulterous partner, aside from Hongo Ai. As a result, Hongo Ai’s work was suspended, and Kato Junichi faced unprecedented cyber violence. This incident highlights Japan’s respect for public opinion supervision and its intolerance for individuals with serious moral flaws.
In contrast, a similar incident in China involving “Crazy Little Brother Yang” has taken a different turn. Despite being questioned for a mooncake incident, Yang has resumed broadcasting in full. This raises questions about the differences in societal norms between Japan and China.
Another incident in China has sparked outrage, with a 10-year-old Chinese-Japanese boy being stabbed to death in Shenzhen. The boy’s mother was left screaming, “What on earth did my child do wrong?” The incident has raised concerns about safety and security in China.
A senior executive of a Japanese electronics company commented on the stabbing, saying, “If a series of similar incidents occur, it is by no means accidental. We have no choice but to be cautious about our business in China.”
The Japanese school in Beijing has also sent a message to parents, advising them to be cautious and warning against speaking Japanese loudly in public. This has sparked concerns about national pride and the impact of such incidents on international relations.
So, what does it mean to never forget national humiliation? Is it about spreading hatred and seeking revenge, or is it about building a stronger economy and improving the lives of citizens? The answer lies in understanding the true meaning of national pride and working towards a better future.
Instead of seeking revenge, we should focus on building a stronger economy and improving the lives of citizens. This means admitting mistakes, facing up to gaps, and understanding common sense. By doing so, we can create a better future for ourselves and for generations to come.
