comment on self-abasement of Chinese

　　First of all, I should appriciate the webmaster of this english forum of not deleting my former article titled “ why chinese hates japanese“, because this kind of topic is so disputed that it will arouse many insanity quarrels.

　　Before I found tianyaclub forum, I had never realized that anti-japanese impulse was so prevailing and crazy. Racial dignity of course is very important to a country like China which has experienced long time of aggression and colony, but as we all know that turth is only a stone’s away from absurdness, this blindless racial dignity has surpassed its rational limit. Someone urges all Chineses to *** japanese goods regardless of millions of workers serving in sino-japan cooperations. Someone is accused of traitor just becasue they try to re-estiblish an objective attitude towards our neighbour. All these give me an impression that anti-japanese equals patrioti***, and the more you humiliate Japanese, the more patriotic you are. As a rational Chinese, I can not keep silence any more and I want my voice heard. I don’t want my fellow citizens to be similar with muslins in Indonesia, who are nothing but killing machines aroused by racial hatred and ignorance, though the racial hatred of both countries is quite the same.

　　Someone argues that the hatred towards Japan is based on the mi***ehaviors and atrocities committed by its servicemen in WWII, and not rooted in the racial self-abasement. I partly agree with the view, and that is why Chinese hates Japanese more than Americans and other westerns. But I also want to reiterate that the racial self-abasement plays an important role in our attitude towards japanese, a fact, though shameful to admit, but can not deny.

　　Chinese, a race with long history of faudali***, never regards human-being as human-being. Look at our social enviroments. Farmer-workers are discriminated all around this country where they cannot enjoy health care and equal education opportunity. They are abusively treated by police and despised by city habitants who consider themselves as superior. Looking deep into our society, we will find various kinds of discriminations cover all fields of this country. Officials despise civilians, well-educated discriminates poor-educated, the rich looks down on the poor. When we comment on a person, on which we focus is only his title, social status, education background and so on.

　　All these are rooted in our soul, where discrimination forms part of our view towards other countries and races. whatever we admit it or not, we are a little jealous about the whites for we regards them as a superior race higher than yellow-skinned. But we can not accept the fact that a asian race such as Japan could surpass us, which has a strong relationship with our racial discrimination deeply rooted in our soul.

　　As a matter fact, we Asians should be proud of the achievements Japan has done. Retrospecting the history of Nobel Prize, we can find japanese prize owners ranks the first in Asia, much more than rest of Asia. Their scientific and technological achievements also earn respects the world, especially in the field of application science. It is Japan, not China, that keeps the most colorful orienatal culture, which was originated from China. It is said that if you want to recognize Chinese traditional culture, you should go to Japan rather than China. Last but not least, japan has the highest level of personel quality in Asia, if not in the world.

　　We should stop the dangerous racial hatred and stop discriminating our fellew citizens. I hope one day we could treat a farmer-worker or a prostitute as a human-being. That is a big progress in our society.
