"Textbooks"
I have a story to share. Uncle J and Uncle C have been neighbours since they were born and are now old ah peks with a lot of history between them. Conflicts have arose between the 2 of them before but they seemed to be at peace with each other in recent years, but uncle C can never forget wat happened wat uncle J did 50 yrs ago....
It was a dark and stormy night, uncle C, who was a young man then, was at ease in his own house when suddenly a berserk uncle J, who was also still very young, came into his house and started to destroy C's property. After 5 hrs of rampage, J wrecked the whole house, killed C's dog, and ultimately raped C's sister, all the while in full view of C. The police came after that and arrested J and he served his time and after 20 yrs in prison, he was released.
So now half a century has passed and, the 2 old man semed to be at peace with each other until C overheard J telling his grandchildren one day about the incidents of that night. He heard J as saying that its really not his fault because he was drunk and he left out many details. This of course pissed C off. He thinks that J is trying to whitewash his crimes and paint a nice picture to his gandchildren and he wouldn't allow that. C, who have become very influential in the neighbourhood since( like the big boss around, or so he claims) started to confront J asking him to change his story. Of course J says he is entitled to his side of the story snd wat his tells his grandchildren is none of C's business.
This pisses C off even more, he gathered his family and made them make alot of noise outside J's house everyday, demanding he changes the story. Bear in mind that J became a peaceful man after his release from prison. Set up his own company selling electronics and he even chip in alot of money into the neighbourhood fund. Even more so than C, the apparent self proclaimed big brother of the neighbourhood. And so, C became more and more violent, putting J's family in grave danger. C even went to the extent of destroying products, owned by others, produced by J's company. Till now, peace is not restored yet in the neighbourhood.
So wat do u guys think of this story?I wouldn't know how u guys would think but I think that C is rubbish and childish and an egoistic maniac.
I guess those who follow current affairs would have no problem recognising the characters in my story as those in the "japanese textbook saga". I for one really thinks that china or the china chinese should just stop this stupid nonsense of rioting, demonstrations and damaging japanese goods. Let the politicians handled the issue. Thats wat they are paid so much for anyway.
Fair enough, I do admit that japan is trying to whitewash its war atrocities and paint a better picture to its future generations and i don't deny that they are wrong in a certain sense. However, that is their own affairs and wat right does others have to tell them that they are wrong. Even if there is a reason to do so, i say let the politicians handle it. let them talk it out, they r good at talking right? If the people want to complain and whine about it a little, its alrite but going to the extent endangering the lives of the japanese people and destroying japanese products is really too much and its revolting. Hold your peaceful demonstrations or boycott japanese goods all u want but once things get out of hand, it becomes too much and can only prove testament to the character of the people.
Wat does it prove?
It proves that these people are patriotic, always talking about how good their country is and how great it will become, too patriotic in fact, that they turned babarians in doing so. They become egoistic, self-centered losers who really shows the world nothing much more than violent people out to prove that they are a force not to be reckon with. Its disgusts me and i think it disgusts many others who have to read in the news everyday about such things. I am really sick of the behaviours of these people and i just wish they could stop. Everytime my father tunes to a china television channel, they are singing songs that depicts how great china is, and they talk about nothing else except that their guys are handsome, their girls are pretty and they are the very best in the world. Its a real tun off.
For those people, pls ask yrself this qn, wat have u truly done for the good of the world? Have u promoted peace in other regions?i dun think so since u r busy reparing for war with anyone that doesn't agree with you( i hope taiwan rings a bell). Even japan is providing more money than u r to the UN even though u r the so called big brother.
I really dun feel like saying much more on this, my plea to these people is that pls stop all these nonsense, its utterly and disgustingly childish and stop being so ego cause its a real tun off.
