I am a Chinese girl.And I'm very sorry to find that there are many hot debate between the Chinese and the Japanese over the war .In fact,most Chinese don't hate Japanese,what we dislike is the Japanese government's attitude toward the Second World War,especially when compared with the German's.We are afraid that with fewer and fewer people who were once invovled in the war alive,the young generation in Japan might never know the truth of the history,and that worries us a lot.Most of the Japanese are also victims of the war,and I don't think that they want such tragedy to happen again.Some chinese just don't express themselves very well.Why don't we sit down and talk to each other peacefully ,the war is already gone,it's not us to be blamed.If we could understand each other better,I don't see the possibility of another war between the two nations.

The lovely chinese girl:you are so simplex.this is not about the attitude .it is about the purpose.

As a matter of fact,Japanese culture is a branch of Chinese culture.

I guess there's not need to talk over and over about the event. What's done is done. People are living and also facing the future. As we know what the fact is, and that's enough. That was a terrible tragedy and never should be forgot. We should take it as a lesson, not only Japanese but all the people in the world who are fond of genocide or ambitious in conquerring another country.

And one more thing-do you really think Japanese people would sit down and listen quietly to you just like a babe? They are so proud of their country, and that was why they would take their lives as nothing and donated to fighting for their country during the World War 2. Admitting they are wrong, what was the purpose of the war? Therefore,I personnally don't think they would like to admit IT, even if they were indeed wrong before.

I agree the friend upstairs.
Sino-Japanese relation's talked about over and over again.
There it deserves an end.
We'd better not talk about it any more.

Now,new historical textbooks are published...
but I don't know about it well.

You may feel anngry or impolite about young Japanese.
Because we seldom discuss about WW2 or history of japanese cruel act.
and young Japanese seldom think deeply about it.
So ,It is maybe only August 5 when many japanese think about war .
and we think "peace is best!"
bit ridiculous?

Many young Japanese are peace-addicted.
Their concern face only close world.
Because there are many interesting thing more than those depresse topics.
So there are not enough young who seriously think it.

But ,don't forget.
there are young who seriously think about it.

Where in our heart,
Everybody hope to be better rerationship between China and Japan.
Everybody feel in any way unnatural .
...not only about rerationship between China and Japan,
but also any and all of grave social problem of global dimensions .

Anyway,I have concern about rerationship between China and Japan.
So ,now I fill in here.(by my bad English )

Elise may can't accept my opinion.
Please don't get me wrong
