【明報專訊】內地反日情緒高漲，有居於上海的日本小孩，擔心被同學毆打、杯葛而害怕上學。也有港日混血的本港學生，上學時被同學戲言「日本人好衰」而感到尷尬。日本媽媽們看在眼裏很不好受，覺得日本真的做錯了，有日本媽媽更伸出橄欖枝﹕「我們知道日本政府沒有為侵華道歉，影響中日關係，但我們真的很希望與中國人做朋友。」



孩子怕被打被歧視不願上學

在港居住的山木茂代，認識一名居滬的日本媽媽，其兒子於去年中日亞洲盃對決，日本隊擊退中國隊後，回校竟被中國同學毆打泄憤。日前全國反日示威浪潮後，小孩的同學大嚷「以後不吃日本糖果」，以示杯葛，在害怕再被毆打的陰影下，念二年級的小孩不肯上學。那位日本媽媽則不敢光顧上海的日資公司，害怕被縱火。

山木的港日混血兒子較幸運，念中一的他昨日在學校沒被排擠，大不了有同學跟他說﹕「日本人進行南京大屠殺，好衰[]。」山木年幼時已從身為大學教授的爺爺口裏，得悉日軍侵華暴行，爺爺更叮囑她永遠不要忘記日軍發動戰爭的歷史，要向被侵略國家的人民補償。她自己則教導兒子真正的侵華史實，明白日本當時做錯了。

山木理解內地反日示威人士的情緒，她直言日本篡改史書是錯的。另一名嫁到香港的伊藤小姐，坦言近日不敢到內地。伊藤在96年保釣人士陳毓祥在釣魚島海域淹死時，曾被香港同事以反日為由，拒跟她說日文以示杯葛，但伊藤並無怨恨，更很想中日會和解﹕「日本還有很多人想解決中日問題，也想與中國人做朋友，但我對日本政府不肯為侵華道歉，覺得很失望，這也影響中日新一代的關係。我理解內地人要表達不滿，只盼別用暴力發泄便好了。」


This is the sort of news we need - to show that not every single Japanese person is unaware of what their nation had done in the past, and to show that some of them do agree what was done was wrong, and that they hope for a better China-Japan relation and are even prepared to make compensation in some way or form.

It is sad, and completely mad, that the Japanese government had changed their history text books in an attempt to cover up what they had done. But there are always parents who know the truth and is determined to make their children aware of it, too.

Yeah. I was watching the news about it the other night. Luckily, we have TVBJ, so it's a lot easier for us to be updated. It's about time the government should do something about it. It's understandable why the people are so angry.

I agree considering how many Japanese veterans testified for the Chinese victims on the atrocities the army committed and how they and their families visit the museum in Nanjing. I don't blame the people, just not too happy with the government. When you control the education, it's hard to learn the truth.

It's sad that it's gotten to the point where the Chinese people hate the Japanese people.
