in the past few days, many netizens have left me messages, hoping that i would talk about my views on the murder of a japanese boy in shenzhen. i am very distressed and don't know where to start.

from suzhou to shenzhen, two consecutive incidents of injury to japanese schoolchildren occurred in just a few months. these were isolated incidents, but they seemed to make people feel a certain connection.

when a person decides to kill someone instead of jumping off a building, his mind is clear and he knows what to do and when to choose to cause the greatest harm to society and even the country. attacking japanese children can, on the one hand, cause an international sensation and, on the other hand, gain the support of some "patriotic fans".

i believe that no one encouraged them to do this, but they were so heartless to extend their evil hands to the young children.

suzhou authorities have not yet released the identity and motive of the attacker who attacked the japanese schoolchildren and the car escort, hu youping. shenzhen city, through the shenzhen special zone daily, revealed the criminal history of the suspect who attacked the japanese schoolchildren, but did not release his motive for the murder.

perhaps, this motive is difficult to disclose, or inappropriate to disclose. however, if the two murder suspects simply attributed their miserable lives to japan's invasion of china and were filled with hatred, this is a distortion of human nature, because the japanese invasion of china more than 80 years ago was a sin, but it has no direct connection with their own unfortunate lives today.

let the descendants of the enemy bear the sins of their ancestors. this kind of "historical collective responsibility" thinking is not desirable. history needs reconciliation, not the continuation of hatred, which will never end.

in 1972, japanese prime minister kakuei tanaka, who had just taken office for a few days, flew to beijing despite numerous obstacles and signed a statement with chinese leaders to "restore the normalization of diplomatic relations between the two countries." on historical issues, the two countries achieved reconciliation and expressed their wish to "continue friendship for generations." however, over the past 50 years, the public opinion of the two countries has returned to an irreconcilable situation, and the situation has evolved from "talking" to "doing."

i have seen a photo taken by a space exploration satellite from the distant mars. the earth, which has a population of more than 6 billion, is just a tiny bright spot. however, on such a tiny planet, people are constantly waging wars, looting and killing each other, fighting each other over trivial matters or emotions. aliens cannot understand this, and eventually even we, the people on earth, cannot understand it any more.

if the 21st century is to become the century of asia, china and japan must join hands and unite to lead the world together, rather than competing for "you on top and i on the bottom, or i on the top and you on the bottom".

we cannot forget the history of japan's invasion of china, nor can we forget the history of the world powers ravaging us. however, we have been able to achieve reconciliation with other countries in the world that have invaded us. why can't we seek reconciliation with our neighbor japan?

the historical issue is a very complex emotional issue. if we guide people well, neighbors will become relatives. if we guide people badly, neighbors will become enemies.

among these, the position and role of the media are very important.

yesterday, i saw several japanese populists shouting on the internet in japan: "let's kill a few chinese children and try it out." i think chinese parents in japan who see these words will worry about the personal safety of their children.

only through reconciliation can there be peace. only through reconciliation can there be cooperation. although this requires the efforts of several generations, if we do not start now, once the seeds of hatred sprout and grow, the consequences will be very terrible, and there is a high possibility of backlash.

i saw the article written by the father of the murdered japanese boy. he said that we don't hate china or japan. we both regard these two countries as our own. i don't want the crimes of a very small number of despicable people with twisted ideas to damage the relationship between the two countries. my only wish is that such a tragedy will never happen again. i want to express my gratitude to my son hangping, thank him for making us parents, and thank him for spending 10 years, 8 months and 7 days with us. we will continue to live strong and continue to walk his unfinished path for him.

if the boy can use his short 10-year-old life to arouse the sentiment of reconciliation between the people of china and japan, then he is an angel.

there are 11 japanese schools in china, and there are more than 3,300 japanese children studying there. these children come to china to live and study with their parents because their parents work in china, in order to reunite with their family and avoid becoming "left-behind children". they come to china not to study abroad. if these years of life in china can make these children fall in love with china and be proud of having spent their childhood and youth in china, they will surely be the best seeds for promoting sino-japanese friendship and cooperation in the future. therefore, we need to give them a more friendly, caring and peaceful environment, rather than making them feel uneasy or even afraid in china. we need to make them angels of peace, not future enemies.

yesterday, the governments of china and japan simultaneously announced that the two sides have reached a consensus on resolving the fukushima nuclear waste water issue: japan agrees that china will send a separate investigation team directly to the fukushima daiichi nuclear power plant to collect samples for analysis, and china will gradually lift restrictions on imports of japanese aquatic products based on scientific evidence.

in many cases, if we take a step back, we will find a bright future. we can always find a way to solve the problem through sincere consultation. i hope this is a ray of hope that can give us hope for reconciliation between the two countries.
