Recently, the visa review of Chinese tourists in Japan has become very strict.
It is rumored on the Internet that many tourists travel to Japan, but due to various outrageous reasons, visas are denied and even repatriated.
This made everyone think of the irrational move of peeing at the Yasukuni Shrine made by the Internet celebrity iron head at that time.
No one thought that this matter would become out of control and make such a big noise!
Internet celebrity iron head is also scolded by everyone for being bloody, directly saying that he is "a rat poop spoiled a pot of soup"!
But there are still many netizens who feel that this incident has blown up more "rat", let's take a look at what is going on in this matter?
Is it really "a rat poop spoils a pot of soup"?
Let's first recall what the situation of the iron head incident was, and let us go back to the day of Children's Day.
On that day, many people were still immersed in the happiness of celebrating June 1st, and suddenly the Internet broke out on the Internet that the Internet celebrity iron head peed on the pillar at the entrance of the Yasukuni Shrine in Japan.
The word "toilet" was even written on it with red paint, and after it was discovered by the Japanese, the current pillar is already being restored.
After this incident was exposed, it also caused a huge storm of public opinion, and netizens also praised this behavior, but many netizens felt that his behavior was too reckless and did not think about the consequences at all.
After doing this, the Internet celebrity Tietou also thought of a way to deal with it, that is, to buy a ticket to return to China, and when the Japanese began to offer a reward to arrest people, people had already left Japan.
Maybe some people don't know what the Yasukuni Shrine is for? Or somewhere!
Let me give you a detailed introduction, the Yasukuni Shrine is very famous in Japan, but it is very popular when it is mentioned in China.
The Yasukuni Shrine is located in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Japan, and it was built in 1869, and was originally called the Tokyo Spiritualist Shrine, and later renamed the Yasukuni Shrine.
Who is this shrine dedicated to? It is mainly dedicated to those soldiers and their families who died in the war for Japan since the Meiji Restoration.
Most of these people were Japanese officers and soldiers who died in Japan's war of aggression against China, as well as 30,000 Japanese soldiers such as Taiwan's Takasago Volunteers.
The status of this shrine is still very high in Japan, and many Japanese politicians will visit it to win over voters.
However, in China's view, the Yasukuni Shrine is dedicated to criminals who killed our countrymen during the war, and if Japanese politicians go to pay homage, isn't that whitewashing the atrocities of militarism?
So this matter has always been a "pain point" between China and Japan.
Then, returning to the matter of the "iron head," he went directly to the Yasukuni Shrine and waved his pen, which seemed to many Chinese people to be very relieved.
But on the bigger picture, this incident is simply the fuse that has rekindled this historical contradiction between China and Japan.
Therefore, there are online rumors that many Chinese tourists who are planning to travel to Japan have recently encountered trouble and have been stranded and repatriated.
The reasons are also strange, some say that they will not enter the country, and some say that they are suspected of staying illegally.
This is really incomprehensible, how can they suddenly become "persona non grata" when their itinerary is clearly arranged and their financial resources are all right?
You know, our country has always been very supportive of people traveling abroad, and I think it's a good thing.
How nice it is that you can not only broaden your horizons, but also bring benefits to the tourism industry around the world!
But now, so many Chinese tourists are being turned away from Japan, what is going on in Japan? Do they want to say goodbye to their usual "hospitable" faces?
This incident caused an uproar on the Internet, and everyone was talking about it.
The "iron head" Internet celebrity has also been condemned by public opinion, it can really be described as "a rat poop spoils a pot of soup", I hope this matter can be settled as soon as possible, and don't let innocent people be implicated anymore.
But then again, some people have a different attitude towards this matter, they feel that the behavior of the "iron head" is not only brave, but simply "thunder", directly revealing the "rat droppings" hidden in the shadows.
These people feel that the behavior of the "iron head" is like a bombshell, blowing up those problems and contradictions that are usually unknown.
They think this is a good thing, because only in this way can more people see the seriousness of the problem and motivate us to solve it.
Information source: The Paper 2024-6-3 "What do you think of Chinese bloggers saying graffiti on the stone pillars of the Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo? Response of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs》
Just before this incident, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also responded to this incident, Mao Ning said that first of all, she did not say this act done by the iron head, but first emphasized what the Yasukuni Shrine is, and reminded Japan that it should face up to and reflect on its attitude towards the history of aggression.
After taking practical actions to win over Asian neighbors and the international community, he reminded Chinese citizens abroad to abide by local laws and regulations and express their demands rationally.
The rational expression that Mao Ning said is really euphemistic, but these four words carry the heavy history of Japan's refusal to admit the mistakes of the war of aggression.
This is a kind of silent denial of history by Japan, a kind of disregard for the victim countries, and more importantly, an existence that is not recognized by the mainland and the international community.
We Chinese know very well that history cannot be forgotten, still less distorted, and the existence of the Yasukuni Shrine is like a thorn in the heart of every Chinese.
However, we should make it clear that the mainland does not support any irrational demands, and what we advocate is to solve the problem through peaceful and rational means.
However, this does not mean that we recognize Japan's failure to face up to its historical mistakes, and this is an issue that Japan should deeply reflect on, and it is also a fact that we, as a victim country, can never forgive.
Treat rationally and be cautious in words and deeds
At the end of this series of events, those tourists who want to travel with great expectations can only return to their home country disappointed.
And the "iron head" has also been condemned by all walks of life because of this time, and he may never have thought that what he did at that time would lead to such serious consequences.
He may have thought that his actions were just impulsive, but it proved to be reckless and ignorant.
This incident is also a wake-up call for each of us that our actions not only represent our own image and interests, but are more likely to have a profound impact on others and the country.
On issues concerning the state and the nation, we really have to be cautious in our words and deeds, and we must not be sloppy and rash in the slightest.
Because every action, word and deed we have the potential to become a representative and symbol in the eyes of others.
At the same time, I also hope that Japan can treat this issue calmly and not have a discriminatory and exclusionary attitude towards all people in China because of something.
For example, the matter of repatriation and visa refusal is undoubtedly irrational, and it will only make the relationship between China and Japan more tense.
Write at the end
In conclusion, we sincerely appeal to all countries to respect and understand each other.
In this era of globalization, we live on the same earth together, and we should learn to resolve differences and contradictions with tolerance and understanding.
Don't let a relationship become strained or even broken down because of a few small misunderstandings or disputes.
After all, peace and understanding are the most precious treasures of our time!
Do you think so?
