An article on the Japanese J-cast website on August 19, titled: Cultural impact of "caring for children" during a visit to China. A former member of the Japanese girl idol group SDN48 and a businesswoman, Hikami Ailan, recorded her feelings when she traveled to China with her children and saw that the children were taken care of by Chinese men. "They were really kind and tolerant!"In her blog, Hikari Ailan reported to her fans about her family's experience visiting China. In her blog post on August 16, titled "Strangers touching children, an unbelievable scene in Japan," she recorded what happened on the flight to China.She described Chinese culture, especially the culture of Yanji, Jilin Province, as follows: "The culture of 'children are treasures' and 'children are nurtured by everyone' is very strong." A Chinese man sitting next to her saw that her son could not straighten his legs (very uncomfortable), so he said to her: "(Let the child) straighten his legs! Lie down." After the child straightened his legs and lay flat (his feet slightly occupied the man's seat), the man massaged the child's feet. Guangshang was grateful that the man was traveling with his family, but "loved (my) child as if he were his own child. He was really kind and really tolerant!" The man also helped take care of Guangshang's daughter in the same way.Hikami Hui Ailan compared the way people in different countries treat children. "In Japan, it is taboo to touch or hold other people's children without permission... I really like this culture of caring (for children) (in China). Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the development here is so fast and the streets are so beautiful."After getting off the plane, Guang Shanghui Ailan continued to feel the tenderness of the locals towards their children. In a local coffee shop, when her child climbed onto the table, the clerk just smiled and did not blame her. What impressed her most was that "during the trip, there were several times when the child suddenly ran away and was taken back by strangers...including the manager of this coffee shop."Looking back on this trip, Hikami Hui Ailan said, "In Japan, everyone lives strictly according to the rules, so I am always wary of (strangers) suddenly picking up children for any purpose... The magical Chinese uncle I met on the plane who treated the child as a treasure was really nice." (Translated by Zeng Mao)▲
